     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================

     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** HOL ***
     8 
     9 * Qualified constant names Wellfounded.acc, Wellfounded.accp.
    10 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    11 
    12 * Fact generalization and consolidation:
    13     neq_one_mod_two, mod_2_not_eq_zero_eq_one_int ~> not_mod_2_eq_0_eq_1
    14 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    15 
    16 * Purely algebraic definition of even.  Fact generalization and consolidation:
    17     nat_even_iff_2_dvd, int_even_iff_2_dvd ~> even_iff_2_dvd
    18     even_zero_(nat|int) ~> even_zero
    19 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    20 
    21 * Abolished neg_numeral.
    22   * Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
    23   * Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
    24   * When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
    25     following cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
    26   * Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.
    27 INCOMPATBILITY.
    28 
    29 * Elimination of fact duplicates:
    30     equals_zero_I ~> minus_unique
    31     diff_eq_0_iff_eq ~> right_minus_eq
    32 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    33 
    34 * Fact name consolidation:
    35     diff_def, diff_minus, ab_diff_minus ~> diff_conv_add_uminus
    36     minus_le_self_iff ~> neg_less_eq_nonneg
    37     le_minus_self_iff ~> less_eq_neg_nonpos
    38     neg_less_nonneg ~> neg_less_pos
    39     less_minus_self_iff ~> less_neg_neg [simp]
    40 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    41 
    42 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
    43 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
    44 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,
    45 add_minus_cancel, diff_add_cancel, le_add_same_cancel1,
    46 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
    47 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly
    48 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and
    49 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
    50 
    51 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
    52 
    53 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
    54 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
    55 
    56 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
    57 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [… "- _" …]" by simp".
    58 
    59 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
    60 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
    61 or the brute way with
    62 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
    63 
    64 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice
    65 
    66 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
    67 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.   INCOMPATIBILITY.
    68 
    69 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them
    70 instead of explicitly stating boundedness of sets.
    71 
    72 
    73 *** ML ***
    74 
    75 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
    76 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
    77 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
    78 formal context.
    79 
    80 
    81 
    82 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
    83 -------------------------------------
    84 
    85 *** General ***
    86 
    87 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    88 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    89 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    90 
    91 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    92 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    93 
    94 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    95 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    96 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    97 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    98 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    99 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
   100 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
   101 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
   102 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
   103 syntax.
   104 
   105 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
   106 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   107 
   108 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
   109 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
   110 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
   111 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
   112 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
   113 
   114 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
   115 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   116 
   117 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
   118 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
   119 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
   120 
   121 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
   122 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
   123 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
   124 
   125 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
   126 eliminated old "ref" manual.
   127 
   128 
   129 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   130 
   131 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
   132 Documentation panel.
   133 
   134 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
   135 documentation.
   136 
   137 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
   138 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
   139 
   140 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
   141 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
   142 normal editing and checking process.
   143 
   144 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
   145 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
   146 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
   147 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
   148 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
   149 
   150 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   151 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   152 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   153 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   154 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   155 
   156 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   157 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   158 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   159 
   160 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   161 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   162 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   163 to resolve conflict.
   164 
   165 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   166 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   167 
   168 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   169 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   170 such command executions while editing.
   171 
   172 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   173 document content.
   174 
   175 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   176 toplevel theorem statements.
   177 
   178 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   179 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   180 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   181 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   182 
   183 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   184 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   185 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   186 
   187 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   188 / Global Options / Appearance".
   189 
   190 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   191 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   192 
   193 
   194 *** Pure ***
   195 
   196 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   197 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   198 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   199 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   200 details.
   201 
   202 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   203 
   204 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   205 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   206 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   207 
   208 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   209 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   210 
   211 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   212 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   213 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   214 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   215 
   216 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   217 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   218 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   219 
   220 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   221 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   222 
   223 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   224 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   225 situations.
   226 
   227 
   228 *** HOL ***
   229 
   230 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   231 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   232 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   233 
   234 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   235 
   236 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   237 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   238 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   239 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   240 
   241   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   242 
   243 * Code generator:
   244   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   245     'code_instance'.
   246   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   247     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   248 
   249 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   250 examples.
   251 
   252 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   253 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   254 to distinguish both when desired.
   255 
   256 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   257 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   258 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   259 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   260 
   261 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   262 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   263 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   264 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   265 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   266 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   267 
   268 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   269 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   270 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   271 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   272 
   273 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   274 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   275 
   276 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   277 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   278 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   279 
   280 * Lifting:
   281   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   282     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
   283       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   284       transfer rules
   285     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   286       correspondence relation can be generated
   287     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   288       parametricity
   289     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   290   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   291   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   292     copies
   293   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   294     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   295     anonymous context)
   296   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
   297     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   298   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   299     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   300   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
   301     INCOMPATIBILITY
   302 
   303 * Transfer:
   304   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
   305     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   306   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   307   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   308     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   309   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   310 
   311 * Reification and reflection:
   312   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   313     "Reification".
   314   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   315   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   316 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   317 
   318 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   319   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   320     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   321     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   322   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   323     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   324   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   325     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   326     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   327     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   328     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   329     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   330     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   331     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   332   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   333     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   334   - Fact renames:
   335       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   336       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   337 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   338 
   339 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   340 
   341 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   342 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   343 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   344 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   345 
   346 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   347 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   348 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   349 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   350 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   351 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   352 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   353 lemmas.
   354 
   355 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   356 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   357 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   358 
   359 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   360 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   361 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   362 
   363 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   364 top and bottom elements.
   365 
   366 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   367 
   368 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   369 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   370 
   371  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   372    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   373    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   374 
   375  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   376    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   377    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   378 
   379    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   380    arbitrary filter.
   381 
   382  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   383    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   384    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   385    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   386    on a compact set.
   387 
   388  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   389    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   390    linear_continuum_topology).
   391 
   392  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   393    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   394    on all sequences converging to x.
   395 
   396  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   397    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   398    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   399    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   400    left or right.
   401 
   402  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   403 
   404      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   405 
   406  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   407    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   408 
   409  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   410    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   411    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   412    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   413    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   414    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   415 
   416  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   417 
   418    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   419 
   420    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   421      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   422 
   423    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   424 
   425    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   426      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   427 
   428    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   429 
   430    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   431 
   432  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   433 
   434 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   435 
   436 * Nitpick:
   437   - Added option "spy"
   438   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   439 
   440 * Sledgehammer:
   441   - Renamed option:
   442       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   443     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   444   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   445   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   446   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   447 
   448 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   449 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   450 
   451 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   452   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   453   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   454     generated code.
   455   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   456   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   457   - Fact renames:
   458     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   459     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   460     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   461 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   462 
   463 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   464 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   465 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   466 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   467 
   468 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   469 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   470 
   471 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   472 
   473 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   474 
   475     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   476     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   477 
   478 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   479 
   480 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   481 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   482 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   483 
   484 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   485 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   486 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   487 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   488 
   489 * HOL-BNF:
   490   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   491     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   492     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   493     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   494   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   495     coinduct).
   496   - Renamed keywords:
   497     data ~> datatype_new
   498     codata ~> codatatype
   499     bnf_def ~> bnf
   500   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   501     discs ~> disc
   502     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   503     map_id' ~> map_id
   504     sels ~> sel
   505     set_map' ~> set_map
   506     sets ~> set
   507 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   508 
   509 
   510 *** ML ***
   511 
   512 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   513 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   514 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   515 Examples.thy in particular.
   516 
   517 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   518 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   519 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   520 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   521 
   522 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   523 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   524 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   525 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   526 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   527 
   528 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   529 
   530     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   531     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   532 
   533 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   534 
   535 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   536 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   537 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   538 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   539 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   540 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   541 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   542 
   543 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   544 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   545 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   546 clasets separately from the context.
   547 
   548 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   549 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   550 
   551 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   552 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   553 
   554 
   555 *** System ***
   556 
   557 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   558 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   559 
   560 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   561 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   562 
   563 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   564 settings variable.
   565 
   566 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   567 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   568 always pdf.
   569 
   570 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   571 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   572 
   573 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   574 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   575 
   576 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   577 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   578 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   579 
   580 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   581 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   582 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   583 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   584 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   585 for HTML presentation of theories.
   586 
   587 
   588 
   589 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   590 -----------------------------------
   591 
   592 *** General ***
   593 
   594 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   595 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   596 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   597 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   598 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   599 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   600 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   601 
   602 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   603 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   604 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   605 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   606 
   607 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   608 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   609 
   610 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   611 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   612 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   613 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   614 dependencies properly.
   615 
   616 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   617 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   618 
   619 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   620 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   621 
   622 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   623 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   624 and "class ... context ...".
   625 
   626 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   627 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   628 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   629 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   630 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   631 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   632 
   633 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   634 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   635 
   636 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   637 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   638 
   639 
   640 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   641 
   642 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   643 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   644 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   645 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   646 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   647 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   648 
   649 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   650 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   651 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   652 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   653 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   654 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   655 
   656 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   657 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   658 browser on demand.
   659 
   660 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   661 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   662 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   663 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   664 
   665 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   666 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   667 
   668 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   669 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   670 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   671 potentially infinite message streams.
   672 
   673 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   674 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   675 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   676 schemes.
   677 
   678 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   679 symbols.
   680 
   681 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   682 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   683 
   684 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   685 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   686 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   687 
   688 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   689 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   690 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   691 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   692 
   693 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   694 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   695 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   696 
   697 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   698 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   699 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   700 Isabelle distribution.
   701 
   702 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   703 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   704 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   705 
   706 
   707 *** Pure ***
   708 
   709 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   710 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   711 
   712 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   713 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   714 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   715 
   716 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   717 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   718 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   719 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   720 with some care where this is really required.
   721 
   722 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   723 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   724 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   725 
   726   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   727 
   728 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   729 a Hasse diagram.
   730 
   731 
   732 *** HOL ***
   733 
   734 * Sledgehammer:
   735 
   736   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   737     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   738   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   739   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   740   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   741   - Renamed options:
   742       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   743       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   744       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   745       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   746 
   747 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   748 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   749 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   750 
   751 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   752 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   753 
   754 * Lifting:
   755   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   756   - quot_del attribute
   757   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   758 
   759 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   760 expressions.
   761 
   762 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   763 pointfree expressions.
   764 
   765 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   766 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   767 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   768 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   769 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   770 
   771 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   772 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   773 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   774 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   775 accordingly.
   776 
   777 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   778 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   779 
   780 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   781 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   782 
   783 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   784 
   785 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   786 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   787 
   788 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   789 
   790 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   791 
   792   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   793   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   794 
   795 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   796 
   797 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   798 
   799   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   800   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   801 
   802 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   803 
   804 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   805 
   806   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   807     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   808     output f x converges to G.
   809 
   810   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   811     infinity (at_bot).
   812 
   813   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   814     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   815 
   816   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   817     at_top".
   818 
   819 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   820 
   821 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   822 lattice type classes.
   823 
   824 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   825 
   826     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   827     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   828 
   829 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   830 
   831 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   832 changes as follows.
   833 
   834   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   835 
   836       prefix ~> prefixeq
   837       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   838 
   839   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   840     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   841     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   842     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   843 
   844   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   845     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   846     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   847 
   848   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   849     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   850     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   851     Library/Prefix_Order.
   852 
   853   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   854     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   855 
   856       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   857       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   858       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   859       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   860       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   861       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   862       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   863       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   864       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   865       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   866       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   867       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   868       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   869       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   870       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   871       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   872 
   873 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   874 
   875 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   876 
   877 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   878 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   879 
   880 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   881 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   882 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   883 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   884 
   885   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   886   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   887   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   888   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   889   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   890   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   891   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   892   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   893   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   894   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   895 
   896 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   897 
   898 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   899 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   900 Data").
   901 
   902 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   903 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   904 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   905 code.
   906 
   907 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   908 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   909 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   910 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   911 
   912 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   913 
   914 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   915 
   916 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   917 
   918   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   919   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   920 
   921 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   922 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   923 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   924 
   925   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   926 
   927     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   928     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   929     cart_base i  removed
   930     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   931 
   932   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   933 
   934   Renamed lemmas:
   935 
   936     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   937     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   938     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart

   943     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   944     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   945     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   946 
   947 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   948 
   949 * HOL/Probability:
   950 
   951   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   952 
   953   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   954     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   955     (borel_measurable_induct).
   956 
   957   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   958     projective family).
   959 
   960 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   961 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   962 
   963 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   964 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   965 datatypes.
   966 
   967 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   968 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   969 
   970 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   971 trees for the code generator.
   972 
   973 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   974 Lifting/Transfer.
   975 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   976 
   977 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   978 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   979 
   980 
   981 *** Document preparation ***
   982 
   983 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   984 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   985 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   986 
   987 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   988 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   989 
   990 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   991 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   992 document/root.tex.
   993 
   994 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   995 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   996 
   997 
   998 *** ML ***
   999 
  1000 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1001 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1002 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1003 
  1004 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1005 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1006 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1007 
  1008 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1009 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1010 necessarily printing visible text.
  1011 
  1012 
  1013 *** System ***
  1014 
  1015 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1016 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1017 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1018 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1019 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1020 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1021 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1022 
  1023 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1024 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1025 
  1026   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1027 
  1028 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1029 
  1030 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1031 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1032 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1033 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1034 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1035 
  1036 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1037 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1038 
  1039 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1040 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1041 
  1042 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1043 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1044 
  1045 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1046 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1047 version of Isabelle.
  1048 
  1049 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1050 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1051 
  1052 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1053 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1054 for home-made settings.
  1055 
  1056 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1057 
  1058 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1059 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1060 configuration.
  1061 
  1062 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1063 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1064 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1065 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1066 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1067 
  1068 
  1069 
  1070 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1071 ------------------------------
  1072 
  1073 *** General ***
  1074 
  1075 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1076 
  1077   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1078     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1079   - markup for bound variables
  1080   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1081   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1082   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1083     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1084 
  1085 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1086 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1087 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1088 
  1089 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1090 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1091 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1092 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1093 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1094 
  1095   context
  1096     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1097     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1098   begin
  1099 
  1100   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1101 
  1102   end
  1103 
  1104   thm my_trans
  1105 
  1106 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1107 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1108 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1109 
  1110 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1111 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1112 
  1113 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1114 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1115 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1116 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1117 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1118 
  1119 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1120 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1121 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1122 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1123 indices of schematic variables.
  1124 
  1125 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1126 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1127 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1128 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1129 etc. was exploited.
  1130 
  1131 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1132 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1133 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1134 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1135 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1136 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1137 
  1138 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1139 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1140 manual.
  1141 
  1142 
  1143 *** Pure ***
  1144 
  1145 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1146 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1147 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1148 
  1149 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1150 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1151 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1152 undocumented feature.)
  1153 
  1154 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1155 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1156 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1157 
  1158   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1159 
  1160   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1161     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1162 
  1163 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1164 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1165 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1166 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1167 
  1168 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1169 
  1170     num ~> num_token
  1171     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1172     xstr ~> str_token
  1173 
  1174 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1175 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1176 position information via constraints).
  1177 
  1178 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1179 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1180 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1181 
  1182 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1183 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1184 
  1185 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1186 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1187 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1188 
  1189 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1190 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1191 
  1192 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1193 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1194 
  1195   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1196 
  1197 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1198 
  1199 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1200 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1201 
  1202 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1203 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1204 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1205 
  1206 
  1207 *** HOL ***
  1208 
  1209 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1210 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1211 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1212 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1213 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1214 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1215 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1216 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1217 possible.
  1218 
  1219 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1220 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1221 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1222 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1223 
  1224 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1225 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1226 
  1227 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1228 
  1229 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1230 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1231 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1232 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1233 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1234 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1235 
  1236   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1237     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1238 
  1239   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1240     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1241     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1242 
  1243   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1244     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1245 
  1246   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1247     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1248     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1249 
  1250   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1251     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1252 
  1253 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1254 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1255 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1256 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1257 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1258 
  1259   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1260     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1261     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1262     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1263     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1264 
  1265     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1266     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1267 
  1268   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1269     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1270     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1271     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1272     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1273     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1274     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1275     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1276 
  1277   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1278     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1279     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1280     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1281 
  1282   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1283     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1284     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1285     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1286 
  1287   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1288     from type nat to type int.
  1289 
  1290 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1291 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1292 
  1293   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1294     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1295     type.  Example syntax:
  1296 
  1297     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1298       is List.insert
  1299 
  1300     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1301     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1302     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1303     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1304     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1305     by the package.
  1306 
  1307   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1308     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1309     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1310     code generation for each constant.
  1311 
  1312   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1313     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1314     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1315     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1316     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1317 
  1318   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1319     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1320     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1321 
  1322 * Quotient package:
  1323 
  1324   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1325     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1326 
  1327   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1328     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1329 
  1330   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1331     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1332     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1333 
  1334   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1335     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1336 
  1337 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1338 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1339 
  1340 * Quickcheck:
  1341 
  1342   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1343     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1344     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1345     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1346     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1347 
  1348     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1349     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1350     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1351 
  1352     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1353     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1354 
  1355     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1356     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1357     show genuine counterexamples.
  1358 
  1359   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1360     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1361 
  1362     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1363     constructors of that type.
  1364 
  1365   - Support for multisets.
  1366 
  1367   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1368 
  1369   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1370     conjectures in a locale context.
  1371 
  1372 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1373 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1374 
  1375 * Sledgehammer:
  1376   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1377     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1378   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1379   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1380     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1381   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1382   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1383   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1384   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1385 
  1386 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1387 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1388 
  1389 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1390 
  1391 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1392 
  1393 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1394 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1395 
  1396   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1397 
  1398 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1399 a list and a nat.
  1400 
  1401 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1402 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1403 
  1404 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1405 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1406 default.
  1407 
  1408 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1409 
  1410   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1411 
  1412 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1413 
  1414 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1415 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1416 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1417 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1418 one_case.
  1419 
  1420 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1421 the result of the fact expression.
  1422 
  1423 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1424 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1425 of some relation theorems:
  1426 
  1427   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1428   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1429   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1430   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1431   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1432   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1433 
  1434 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1435 
  1436 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1437 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1438 
  1439 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1440 
  1441 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1442 to match the constant's name:
  1443 
  1444   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1445   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I

  1460   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow

  1468 
  1469 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1470 
  1471 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  1472 and corresponding theorem names:
  1473 
  1474   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  1475 
  1476   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  1477 
  1478   - Renamed theorems:

  1537 
  1538 * Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1570 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
  1571 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
  1572 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
  1573 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".
  1574

  1754 * Theory HOL/Library/Float: Floating point numbers are now defined as
  1755 a subset of the real numbers.  All operations are defined using the
  1756 lifing-framework and proofs use the transfer method.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1819 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1820 association lists with distinct keys.
  1821 
  1822 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1823 annotated commands.
  1824 
  1825 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1826 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1827 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1828 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1829 
  1830 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1831 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1832 instead.

  1876 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1877 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1878 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1879 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1880 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1881 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1882 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1883 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1884 
  1885 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1886 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1887 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1888 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1889 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1890 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1891 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1892 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1893 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1894 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1895 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1896 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2086 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2087 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2088 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2089 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2090 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2091 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2092 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2093 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2094 
  2095 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2096 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2097 
  2098 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2099 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2100 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2101 
  2102 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2103 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2104 
  2105 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2106 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2107 context as well.
  2108 
  2109 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2110 
  2111   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2112   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  2113   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  2114   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  2115   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  2116   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  2117   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  2118   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  2119   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  2120   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  2121   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  2122   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  2123 
  2124 
  2125 *** System ***
  2126 
  2127 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2128 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2129 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2130 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2131 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2132 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2133 the generic user home was intended.
  2134 
  2135 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2136 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2137 
  2138 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2139 (not just JRE).
  2140 
  2141 
  2142 
  2143 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2144 ------------------------------------
  2145 
  2146 *** General ***
  2147 
  2148 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2149 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2150 
  2151   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2152     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2153     files for checking).
  2154 
  2155   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2156     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2157     positions.
  2158 
  2159   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2160     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2161     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2162 
  2163   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2164     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2165     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2166 
  2167   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2168     cores.
  2169 
  2170   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2171     versions (garbage collection).
  2172 
  2173 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2174 including some remaining limitations.
  2175 
  2176 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2177 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2178 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2179 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2180 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2181 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2182 
  2183 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2184 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2185 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2186 
  2187 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2188 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2189 usedir option -Q.
  2190 
  2191 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2192 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2193 
  2194   long_names   ~> names_long
  2195   short_names  ~> names_short
  2196   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2197 
  2198 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2199 
  2200   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2201 
  2202 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2203 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2204 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2205 
  2206 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2207 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2208 
  2209 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2210   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2211   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2212   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2213     "Classical Reasoner".
  2214 
  2215 
  2216 *** HOL ***
  2217 
  2218 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2219 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2220 
  2221 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2222 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2223 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2224 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2225 class complete_linorder.
  2226 
  2227 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2228 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2229 
  2230 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2231 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2232 
  2233   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2234   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2235   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2236   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2237   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2238   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2239   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2240   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2241   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2242   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2243   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2244 
  2245 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2246 
  2247   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2248   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2249   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2250   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2251   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2252   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2253   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2254   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2255   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2256   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2257   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2258   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2259   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2260   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2261   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2262   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2263 
  2264 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2265 
  2266 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2268 
  2269 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2270 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2271 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2272 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2273 
  2274 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2275 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2276 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2277 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2278 
  2279 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2280 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2281 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2282 
  2283 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2284 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2285 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2286 
  2287 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2288 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2289 
  2290 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2291 
  2292     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2293     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2294 
  2295 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2296 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2297 
  2298 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2299 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2300 
  2301 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2302 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2303 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2304 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2399 
  2400 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2401 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2402 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2403 
  2404 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2405 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2406 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2407 
  2408 * Code generation:
  2409 
  2410   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2411     characters in the target language.
  2412 
  2413   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2414     instead.
  2415 
  2416   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2417 
  2418   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2419     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2420 
  2421       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2422 
  2423 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2424 
  2425 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2426 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2427 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2428 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2429 syntax.
  2430 
  2431 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2432 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2433 
  2434 * Nitpick:
  2435   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2436   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2437   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2438     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2439 
  2440 * Sledgehammer:
  2441   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2442   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2443     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2444   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2445     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2446   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2447     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2448   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2449     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2450   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2451     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2452 
  2453 * Metis:
  2454   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2455   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2456     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2457 
  2458 * Command 'try':
  2459   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2460     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2461   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2462     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2463 
  2464 * Quickcheck:
  2465   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2466     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2467   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2468     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2469   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2470     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2471     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2472     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2473   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2474     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2475 
  2476 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2477 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2478 
  2479 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2480 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2481 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2482 
  2483 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2484 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2485 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2486 
  2487 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2488 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2489 
  2490 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2491 arithmetic.
  2492 
  2493 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2494 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2495 and lattice type classes.
  2496 
  2497 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2498 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.

  2500 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2501 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2502 
  2503 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2504 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2505 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2506 
  2507   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2508   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2509   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2510   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2511 
  2512 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2513 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2514 constants:
  2515 
  2516   type inat   ~> type enat
  2517   Fin         ~> enat
  2518   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2519   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2520   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2521 
  2522 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2523 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2524 
  2525 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2526 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2527 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2528 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2529 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2530 
  2531 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2532 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2533 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2534 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2535 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2536 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2537 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2538 
  2539   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2540   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2541   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2542   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2543 
  2544 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2545 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2546 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2600 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2601   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2602   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2603   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2604   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2605     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2636 *** Document preparation ***
  2637 
  2638 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2639 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2640 same.
  2641 
  2642 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2643 result.
  2644 
  2645 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2646 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2647 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2648 
  2649 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2650 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2651 
  2652 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2653 like this:
  2654 
  2655   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2656   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2657 
  2658 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2659 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2660 layouts.
  2661 
  2662 
  2663 *** ML ***
  2664 
  2665 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2666 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2667 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2668 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2669 under external program control.
  2670 
  2671 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2672 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2673 
  2674 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2675 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2676 (better known as Proof General).
  2677 
  2678 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2679 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2680 
  2681 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2682 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2683 
  2684 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2685 (including quotes etc.).
  2686 
  2687 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2688 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2689 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2690 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2691 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2692 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2693 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2694 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2695 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2696 
  2697 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2698 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2699 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2700 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2701 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2702 
  2703 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2704 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2705 
  2706 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2707 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2708 
  2709 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2710 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2711 
  2712 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2713 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2714 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2715 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2716 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2717 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2718 proper Proof.context.
  2719 
  2720 
  2721 *** System ***
  2722 
  2723 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2724 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2725 
  2726 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2727 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2728 
  2729 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2730 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2731 
  2732   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2733   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2734   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2735   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2736   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2737 
  2738 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2739 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2740 
  2741 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2742 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2743 example:
  2744 
  2745   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2746 
  2747 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2748 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2749 
  2750 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2751 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2752 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2753 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2754 
  2755 
  2756 
  2757 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2758 ----------------------------------
  2759 
  2760 *** General ***
  2761 
  2762 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2763 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2764 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2765 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2766 like this:
  2767 
  2768   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2769 
  2770 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2771 
  2772 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2773 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2774 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2775 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2776 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2777 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2778 
  2779 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2780 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2781 the following package declarations:
  2782 
  2783   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2784   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2785 
  2786 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2787 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2788 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2789 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2790 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2791 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2792 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2793 
  2794 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2795 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2796 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2797 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2798 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2799 
  2800 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2801 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2802 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2803 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2804 
  2805 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2806 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2807 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2808 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2809 
  2810   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2833   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2834 
  2835 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2836 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2837 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2838 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2839 
  2840 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2841 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2842 
  2843   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2844   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2845 
  2846 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2847 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2848 float_token.
  2849 
  2850 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2851 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2852 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2853 
  2854 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2855 DejaVu Sans.
  2856 
  2857 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2858 
  2859 
  2860 *** Pure ***
  2861 
  2862 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2863 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2864 time.
  2865 
  2866 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2867 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2868 
  2869 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2870 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2871 
  2872 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2873 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2874 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2875 command already provided this functionality.
  2876 
  2877 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2878 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2879 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2880 without interpretations.
  2881 
  2882 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2883 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2884 
  2885 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2886 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2887 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2888 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2889 
  2890 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2891 'definition' instead.
  2892 
  2893 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2894 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2895 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2896 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2897 
  2898 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2899 constructors.
  2900 
  2901 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2902 the local file system.
  2903 
  2904 
  2905 *** HOL ***
  2906 
  2907 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2908 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2909 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2910 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2911 
  2912   declare [[coercion f]]
  2913 
  2914 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2915 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2916 
  2917   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2918 
  2919 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2920 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2921 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2922 other theories like this:
  2923 
  2924   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2925 
  2926 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2927 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2928 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2929 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2930 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2931 for examples.
  2932 
  2933 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2934 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2935 
  2936 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2937 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2938 
  2939 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2940 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2941 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2942 
  2943 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2944 functorial structure of types.
  2945 
  2946 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2947 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2948 
  2949 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2950 languages.
  2951 
  2952 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2953 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2954 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2955 
  2956 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2957 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2958 
  2959 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2960 combinators any longer.
  2961 
  2962 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2963 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2964 
  2965 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2966 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2967 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2968 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2969 
  2970   record 'a foo = ...
  2971   ...
  2972   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2973 
  2974 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2975 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2976 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2977 
  2978 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2979 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2980 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2981 
  2982 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2983 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2984 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2985 
  2986 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2987 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2988 
  2989 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2990 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2991 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2992 independently.
  2993 
  2994 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2995 counter example search.
  2996 
  2997 * Sledgehammer:
  2998   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2999     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3000     sledgehammer").
  3001   - Renamed commands:
  3002     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3003     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3004     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3005     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3006   - Renamed options:
  3007     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3008     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3009     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3010     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3011     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3012 
  3013 * Nitpick:
  3014   - Renamed options:
  3015     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3016     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3017     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3018   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3019   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3020   - Added "whack" option.
  3021   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3022   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3023   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3024   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3025     higher cardinalities.
  3026   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3027 
  3028 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3029 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3030 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3031 
  3032     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3033 
  3034 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3035 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3036 
  3037 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3038 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3039 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3040 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3041 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3042 "smt_solver".
  3043 
  3044 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3045 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3046 
  3047 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3048 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3049 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3050 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3051 
  3052 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3053   - Renamed:
  3054     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3055     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3056     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3057   - Added:
  3058     smt_verbose
  3059     smt_random_seed
  3060     smt_datatypes
  3061     smt_infer_triggers
  3062     smt_monomorph_limit
  3063     cvc3_options
  3064     remote_cvc3_options
  3065     remote_z3_options
  3066     yices_options
  3067 
  3068 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3069 header.
  3070 
  3071 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3072 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3073 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3074 
  3075   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3076 
  3077 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3078 
  3079 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3080 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3081 
  3082 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3083 
  3084 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3085 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3086 
  3087 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3088 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3089 
  3090 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3091 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3092 
  3093 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3094 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3095 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3096 
  3097 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3098 
  3099 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3100 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3101 
  3102 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3103 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3104 
  3105 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3106 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3107 for congruent(2)).
  3108 
  3109 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3110 
  3111   types
  3112     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3113     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3114 
  3115   constants
  3116     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3117     True ~> HOL.True
  3118     False ~> HOL.False
  3119     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3120     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3121     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3122     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3123     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3124     The ~> HOL.The
  3125     All ~> HOL.All
  3126     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  3127     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  3128     Let ~> HOL.Let
  3129     If ~> HOL.If
  3130     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  3131     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  3132     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  3133     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3134     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3135     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3136     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3137     op : ~> Set.member
  3138     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3139 
  3140 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3141 
  3142 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3143 
  3144     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3145     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3146     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3147     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3148     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3149     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3150     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3151     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3152 
  3153 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3154 
  3155 * More stylized fact names:
  3156 
  3157   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3158   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3159   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3160   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3161 
  3162 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3163 
  3164 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3165 
  3166   constants
  3167     null ~> List.null
  3168 
  3169   facts
  3170     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3171     null_empty ~> null_def
  3172 
  3173 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3174 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3175 generation.
  3176 
  3177 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3178 Haskell code.
  3179 
  3180 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3181 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3182 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3183 
  3184 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3185 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3186 
  3187 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3188 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3189 
  3190 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3191 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3192 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3193 
  3194 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3195 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3196 
  3197 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3199 
  3200 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3201 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3202 referred to by its qualified name.
  3203 
  3204   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3205   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3206   product ~>  Enum.product
  3207 
  3208 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3209 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3210 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3211 
  3212 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3213 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3214 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3215 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3216 
  3217 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3218 sort_key.
  3219 
  3220 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3221 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3222 
  3223 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3224 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3225 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3226 
  3227   types
  3228     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3229               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3230               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3231         (depends on your needs)
  3232 
  3233   constants
  3234      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3235      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3236      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3237 
  3238 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3239 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3240 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3241 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3242 
  3243 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3244 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3245 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3246 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3247 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3248 
  3249 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3250 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3251 
  3252 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3253 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3254 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3255 
  3256 
  3257 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3258 
  3259 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3260 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3261 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3262 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3263 compatibility.
  3264 
  3265 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3266 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3267 
  3268 
  3269 *** HOLCF ***
  3270 
  3271 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3272 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3273 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3274 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3275 
  3276 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3277 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3278 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3279 
  3280   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3281   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3282   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3283 
  3284 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3285 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3286 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3287 
  3288 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3289 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3290 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3291 domain definition now works:
  3292 
  3293   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3294 
  3295 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3296 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3297 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3298 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3299 
  3300   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3301     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3302 
  3303   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3304 
  3305 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3306 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3307 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3308 
  3309 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3310 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3311 
  3312 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3313 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3314 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3315 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3316 
  3317 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3318 
  3319 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3320 
  3321 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3322 
  3323 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3324 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3325 
  3326 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3327 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3328 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3329 
  3330 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3331 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3332 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3333 
  3334 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3335 still supported as an input translation.
  3336 
  3337 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3338 
  3339   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3340   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3341   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3342   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3343   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3344   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3345   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3346 
  3347 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3348 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3349 
  3350   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3351   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3352   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3353   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3354   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3355   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3356 
  3357 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3358 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3359 
  3360 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3361 
  3362   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3363   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3364   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3365   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3366 
  3367 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3368 
  3369 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3370 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3371 
  3372 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3373 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3445 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3446 
  3447 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3448 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3449 
  3450 
  3451 *** ML ***
  3452 
  3453 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3454 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3455 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3456 
  3457 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3458 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3459 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3460 
  3461 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3462 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3463 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3464 
  3465 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3466 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3467 
  3468 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3469 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3470 
  3471 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3472 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3473 
  3474 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3475 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3476 
  3477 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3478 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3479 almost all situations.
  3480 
  3481 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3482 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3483 Isabelle/ML.
  3484 
  3485 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3486 meaning.
  3487 
  3488 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3489 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3490 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3491 
  3492 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3493 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3494 
  3495 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3496 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3497 
  3498 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3499 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3500 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3501 
  3502 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3503 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3504 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3505 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3506 configuration options.
  3507 
  3508 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3509 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3510 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3511 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3512 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3513 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3514 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  3515

  3517 
  3518 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3519 ---------------------------------
  3520 
  3521 *** General ***
  3522 
  3523 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3524 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3525 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3526 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3527 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3528 their full internal name.
  3529 
  3530 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3531 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3532 Some hints on upgrading:
  3533 
  3534   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3535     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3536     which are independent of this issue.
  3537 
  3538   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3539     provides the following special forms:
  3540 
  3541       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3542       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3543       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3544 
  3545     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3546     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3547     extra variables".
  3548 
  3549     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3550     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3551     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3552     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3553     "logic".
  3554 
  3555   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3556     antiquotations:
  3557 
  3558       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3559       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3560       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3561       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3562 
  3563   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3564     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3565     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3566     antiquotations.
  3567 
  3568 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3569 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3570 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3571 diagnose syntax problems.
  3572 
  3573 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3574 
  3575 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3576 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3577 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3578 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3579 
  3580 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3581 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3582 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3583 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3584 
  3585 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3586 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3587 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3588 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3589 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3590 
  3591 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3592 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3593 
  3594 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3595 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3596 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3597 
  3598   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3599 
  3600 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3601 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3602 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3603 
  3604 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3605 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3606 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3607 
  3608 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3609 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3610 
  3611 
  3612 *** Pure ***
  3613 
  3614 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3615 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3616 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3617 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3618 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3619 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3620 inspect proof terms.
  3621 
  3622 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3623 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3624 are added internally.  For example:
  3625 
  3626   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3627 
  3628 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3629 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3630 
  3631 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3632 
  3633 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3634 'class' instead.
  3635 
  3636 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3637 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3638 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3639 
  3640 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3641 invariants.
  3642 
  3643 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3644 user space functionality any longer.
  3645 
  3646 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3647 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3648 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3649 
  3650 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3651 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3652 
  3653 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3654 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3655 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3656 
  3657 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3658 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3659 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3660 
  3661 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3662 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3663 
  3664 
  3665 *** HOL ***
  3666 
  3667 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3668 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3669 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3670 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3671 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3672 
  3673 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3674 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3675 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3676 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3677 
  3678   fun
  3679     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3680   where
  3681     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3682 
  3683   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3684     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3685 
  3686   quotient_definition
  3687     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3688 
  3689 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3690 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3691 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3692 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3693 
  3694 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3695 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3696 
  3697 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3698 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3699 
  3700 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3701 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3702 
  3703 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3704 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3705 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3706 
  3707 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3708 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3709 
  3710 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3711 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3712 
  3713 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3714 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3715 
  3716 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3717 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3718 
  3719 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3720 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3721 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3754 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3755 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3756 
  3757 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3758 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3759 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3760 
  3761 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3762 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3763 
  3764 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3765 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3766 
  3767 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3768

  3770 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3771 
  3772 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3773 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3774

  3776 
  3777 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3778 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3779 
  3780 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3781 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3782 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3783 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3784 
  3785 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3786   - less_eq, less: Orderings

  3791 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3792 lattices):
  3793 
  3794     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3830     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  3831 
  3832   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3833   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3834 
  3835     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3836     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3837     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3838     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3839     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3840 
  3841 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3842 
  3843 * Refined field classes:
  3844   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3845     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3846     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3847   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3849 
  3850 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3851   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3852   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3853   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3854     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3855   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3856     equal_neg_zero.
  3857 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3858 
  3859 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3860 sets to lattices:
  3861 
  3862   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3863   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3864   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3865   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3866   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3867   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3868   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3869   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3870   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3871   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3872 
  3873 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3874 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3875 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3876 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3877 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3878 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3879 
  3880 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3881 multiset order:
  3882 
  3883   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3884     <= and <;
  3885   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3886     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3887     multiset_order;
  3888   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3889     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3890     generation;
  3891   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3892     if needed.
  3893 
  3894 Renamed:
  3895 
  3896   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3897   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3898   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3899 
  3900 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3901 
  3902 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3903 
  3904 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3905 
  3906 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3907 
  3908 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3909 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3910 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3940   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3941 
  3942 * Sledgehammer:
  3943   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3944     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3945     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3946     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3947     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3948     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3949     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3950   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3951   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3952     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3953   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3954     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3955     is still experimental.)
  3956   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3957     full-typed mode.
  3958   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3959 
  3960 * Nitpick:
  3961   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3962   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3963   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3964     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3965   - Added support for quotient types.
  3966   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3967     constructs.
  3968   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3969     "termination" proofs).
  3970   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3971   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3972   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3973   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3974     record getters.
  3975   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3976   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3977   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3978   - Added "atoms" option.
  3979   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3980     problems.
  3981   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3982     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3983     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3984   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3985     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3986   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3987 
  3988 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3989   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3990   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3991   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3992   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3993   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3994   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3995   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3996   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3997   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3998 
  3999 
  4000 *** HOLCF ***
  4001 
  4002 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4003 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4004 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4005 
  4006 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4007 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4008 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4009 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4010 
  4011 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4012 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4013 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4014 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4015 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4016 
  4017 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4018 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4019 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4020 
  4021 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4022 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4023 
  4024   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4025   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4026 
  4027 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4028 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4029 
  4030   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4031   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4032   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4033   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4034   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4035 
  4036 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4037 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4038 
  4039   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4040   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4041   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4042 
  4043 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4044 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4045 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4046 
  4047 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4048 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4049 
  4050 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4051 
  4052 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4053 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4054 
  4055 
  4056 *** ML ***
  4057 
  4058 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4059 
  4060     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4061     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4062 
  4063     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4064     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4065     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4066     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4067 
  4068     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4069     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4070     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4071 
  4072 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4073 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4074 
  4075 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4076 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4077 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4078 
  4079 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4080 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4081 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4082 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4083 
  4084 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4085 the context or even global references.
  4086 
  4087 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4088 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4089 
  4090 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4091 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4092 
  4093   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4094   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4095   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4096   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4097   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4098   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4099   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4100   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4101   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4102   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4103 
  4104 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4105 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4106 
  4107 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4108 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4109 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4110 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4111 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4112 
  4113 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4114 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4115 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4116 Theory_Data version.
  4117 
  4118 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4119 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4120 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4121 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4122 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4123 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4124 explicitly in rare situations.
  4125 
  4126 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4127 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4128 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4129 
  4130 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4131 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4132 
  4133 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4134 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4135 quite rare).
  4136 
  4137 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4138 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4139 
  4140 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4141 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4142 terms.
  4143 
  4144 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4145 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4146 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4147 
  4148 
  4149 *** System ***
  4150 
  4151 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4152 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4153 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4154 
  4155 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4156 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4157 respectively.
  4158 
  4159 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4160 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4161 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4162 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4163 
  4164   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4165 
  4166 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4167 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4168 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4169 component.
  4170 
  4171 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4172 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4173 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4174 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4175 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4176 the user for manual installation.
  4177 
  4178 
  4179 
  4180 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4181 -------------------------------------
  4182 
  4183 *** General ***
  4184 
  4185 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4186 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4187 
  4188 
  4189 *** Pure ***
  4190 
  4191 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4192 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4193 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4194 
  4195 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4196 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4197 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4198 
  4199 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4200 interpretation.
  4201 
  4202 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4203 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4204 
  4205 
  4206 *** Document preparation ***
  4207 
  4208 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4209 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4210 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4211 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4212 
  4213 
  4214 *** HOL ***
  4215 
  4216 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4217 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4218 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4219 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4220 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4221 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4222 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4223 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4224 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4225 
  4226 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4227 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4228 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4229 
  4230 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4231 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4232 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4233 
  4234 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4235 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4236 
  4237 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4238 
  4239 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4240 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4241 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4242 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4243 
  4244 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4245 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4246 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4247 "mirabelle" utility.
  4248 
  4249 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4250 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4251 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4252 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4253 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4254 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4255 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4256 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4257 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4258 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4259 
  4260 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4261 procedure only.
  4262 
  4263 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4264 
  4265 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4266 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4267 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4268 that fail later.
  4269 
  4270 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4271 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4272 
  4273 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4274 the same method as the approximation method.
  4275 
  4276 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4277 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4278 series expansion.
  4279 
  4280 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4281 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4282 
  4283 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4284 reals.
  4285 
  4286 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4287 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4288 
  4289 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4290 fixpoint theorem.
  4291 
  4292 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4293   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4294     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4295   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4296     accordingly
  4297   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4298     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4299   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4300     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4301 
  4302 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4303 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4304 lattice.
  4305 
  4306 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4307 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4308 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4309 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4310 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4311 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4312 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4313 
  4314 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4315   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4316     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4317   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4318     le_inf_iff
  4319   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4320     sup_aci)
  4321   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4322   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4323   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4324     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4325     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4326     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4327     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4328     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4329     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4330     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4331     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4332     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4333     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4334   - authentic syntax for
  4335     Set.Pow
  4336     Set.image
  4337   - mere abbreviations:
  4338     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4339     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4340     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4341     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4342     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4343     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4344     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4345     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4346   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4347 
  4348 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4349 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4350 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4351 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4352 
  4353 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4354 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4355 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4356 
  4357 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4358 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4359 
  4360 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4361 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4362 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4363 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4364 
  4365 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4366 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4367 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4368 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4369 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4370 
  4371 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4372 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4373 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4374 
  4375 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4376 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4377 
  4378 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4379 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4380 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4381 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4382 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4383 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4384 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4385 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4386 
  4387 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4388     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4389     code_post       replaces    code post
  4390     etc.
  4391   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4392 
  4393 * Renamed methods:
  4394     sizechange -> size_change
  4395     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4396   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4397 
  4398 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4399 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4400 
  4401 * Renamed theorems:
  4402     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4403     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4404     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4405     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4406     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4407   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4408 
  4409 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4410 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4411 
  4412 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4413 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4414 
  4415 
  4416 *** HOLCF ***
  4417 
  4418 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4419 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4420 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4421 
  4422 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4423 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4424 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4425 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4426 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4427 
  4428 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4429 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4430 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4431 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4432 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4433 
  4434 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4435 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4436 constructor are pre-configured.
  4437 
  4438 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4439 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4440 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4441 
  4442 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4443 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4444 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4445 as well.)
  4446 
  4447 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4448 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4449 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4450 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4451 examples.
  4452 
  4453 
  4454 *** ML ***
  4455 
  4456 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4457 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4458 
  4459 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4460 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4461 position, logical grouping etc.
  4462 
  4463 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4464 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4465 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4466 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4467 
  4468 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4469 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4470 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4471 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4472 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4473 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4474 
  4475 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4476 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4477 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4478 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4479 experiments with references.
  4480 
  4481 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4482 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4483 
  4484 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4485 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4486 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4487 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4488 
  4489 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4490 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4491 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4492 
  4493 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4494 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4495 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4496 
  4497 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4498 
  4499 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4500 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4501 
  4502 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4503 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4504 
  4505 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4506 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4507 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4508 
  4509 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4510 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4511 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4512 
  4513 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4514 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4515 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4516 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4517 
  4518 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4519 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4520 instead of global theory.
  4521 
  4522 
  4523 *** System ***
  4524 
  4525 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4526 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4527 usedir option -q.
  4528 
  4529 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4530 also the system manual.
  4531 
  4532 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4533 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4534 
  4535 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4536 this is always enabled.
  4537 
  4538 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4539 
  4540 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4541 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4542 currently supported on Linux only.
  4543 
  4544 
  4545 
  4546 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4547 --------------------------------
  4548 
  4549 *** General ***
  4550 
  4551 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4552 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4553 
  4554   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4555     "isatool."
  4556 
  4557   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4558     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4559 
  4560   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4561     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4562 
  4563 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4564 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4565 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4566 
  4567 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4568 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4569 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4570 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4571 via "isabelle emacs".
  4572 
  4573 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4574 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4575 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4576 
  4577 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4578 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4579 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4580 
  4581 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4582 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4583 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4584 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4585 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4586 
  4587 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4588 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4589 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4590 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4591 
  4592 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4593 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4594 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4595 
  4596 
  4597 *** Pure ***
  4598 
  4599 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4600 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4601 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4602 
  4603 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4604 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4605 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4606 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4607 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4608 
  4609 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4610 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4611 useful in locale declarations.
  4612 
  4613 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4614 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4615 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4616 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4617 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4618 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4619 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4620 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4621 no longer generated.
  4622 
  4623 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4624 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4625 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4626 
  4627 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4628 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4629 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4630 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4631 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4632 
  4633 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4634 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4635 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4636 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4637 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4638 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4639 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4640 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4641 
  4642 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4643 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4644 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4645 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4646 
  4647 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4648 
  4649 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4650 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4651 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4652 
  4653 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4654 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4655 
  4656 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4657 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4658 in HOL, write
  4659 
  4660     class foo = ...
  4661 
  4662 instead of
  4663 
  4664     class foo = type + ...
  4665 
  4666 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4667 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4668 
  4669 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4670 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4671 
  4672 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4673 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4674 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4675 
  4676 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4677 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4678 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4679 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4680 directly in regular applications.
  4681 
  4682 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4683 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4684 
  4685 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4686 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4687 
  4688 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4689 theory context.
  4690 
  4691 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4692 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4693 
  4694 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4695 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4696 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4697 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4698 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4699 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4700 
  4701   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4702 
  4703 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4704 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4705 normalization.
  4706 
  4707 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4708 addressing etc.
  4709 
  4710 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4711 
  4712   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4713   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4714 
  4715 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4716 
  4717   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4718      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4719      parts of the code generator framework).
  4720 
  4721   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4722      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4723      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4724 
  4725 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4726 
  4727 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4728 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4729 
  4730 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4731 patterns, e.g.
  4732 
  4733     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4734 
  4735 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4736 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4737 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4738 hyphen:
  4739 
  4740     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4741 
  4742 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4743 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4744 
  4745 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4746 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4747 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4748 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4749 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4750 higher-order unification.
  4751 
  4752 
  4753 *** Document preparation ***
  4754 
  4755 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4756 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4757 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4758 
  4759 
  4760 *** HOL ***
  4761 
  4762 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4763 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4764 
  4765 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4766 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4767 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4768 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4769 Main, as before.
  4770 
  4771 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4772 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4773 
  4774 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4775 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4776 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4777 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4778 
  4779 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4780 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4781 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4782 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4783 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4784 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4785 
  4786 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4787 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4788 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4789 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4790 
  4791 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4792 menu.
  4793 
  4794 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4795 (contains the empty clause).
  4796 
  4797 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4798 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4799 
  4800 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4801 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4802 
  4803 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4804 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4805 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4806 
  4807 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4808 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4809 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4810 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4811 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4812 
  4813 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4814 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4815 
  4816 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4817 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4818 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4819 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4820 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4821 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4822 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4823 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4824 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4825 
  4826 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4827 
  4828 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4829 
  4830 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4831 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4832 
  4833 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4834 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4835 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4836 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4837 
  4838 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4839 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4840 
  4841     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4842     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4843     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4844     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4845     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4846     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4847     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4848     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4849 
  4850 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4851 theory Set.
  4852 
  4853 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4854 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4855 
  4856 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4857 
  4858 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4859 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4860 
  4861 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4862 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4863 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4864 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4865 allowed. For examples see
  4866 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4867 
  4868 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4869 
  4870 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4871 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4872 
  4873 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4874 structure:

  4927 
  4928 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4929 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4930 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4931 
  4932 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4933 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4934 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4935 
  4936 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4937 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4938 
  4939 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4940 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4941 
  4942 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4943 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4944 proofs, e.g.
  4945 
  4946   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4947 
  4948 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4949 
  4950 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4951 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4952 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4953 
  4954 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4955 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4956 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4957 
  4958 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4959 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4960 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4961 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4962 
  4963 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4964 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4965 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4966 preorder_class.*.
  4967 
  4968 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4969 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4970 
  4971 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4972 
  4973   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4974 
  4975 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4976 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4977 fold_image.
  4978 
  4979 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4980 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4981 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4982 the former will disappear at some point.
  4983 
  4984 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4985 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4986 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4987 
  4988 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4989 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4990 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4991 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4992 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4993 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4994 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4995 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4996 
  4997 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4998 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4999 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5000 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5001 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5002 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5003 
  5004     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  5005     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  5006     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  5007     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  5008     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  5009     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  5010     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5011 
  5012 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5013 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5014 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5015

  5060 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5061 
  5062 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5063 
  5064 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5065 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5066 
  5067 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5068 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5069 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5070 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5071 
  5072 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5073 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5074 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5075 theory RealVector.
  5076 
  5077 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5078 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5079 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5080 and inner products are included.
  5081 
  5082 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5083 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5084 supported.
  5085 
  5086 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5087 first diagonalization argument.
  5088 
  5089 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5090 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5091 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5092 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5093 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5094 
  5095     hide (open) const gcd
  5096     abbreviation gcd where
  5097       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5098     notation (output)
  5099       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5100 
  5101 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5102 
  5103 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5104 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5105 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5106 
  5107 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5108 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5109 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5110 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5111 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5112 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5113 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5114 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5115 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5116 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5117 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5118 cases.
  5119 
  5120 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5121 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5122 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5123 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5124 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5125 
  5126     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5127     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5128     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5129     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5130     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5131 
  5132 
  5133 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5134 
  5135 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5136 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5137 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5138 
  5139 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5140 
  5141 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5142 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5143 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5144 
  5145 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5146 
  5147 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5148 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5149 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5150 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5151 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5152 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5153 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5154 
  5155 
  5156 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5157 
  5158 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5159 
  5160 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5161 theory targets.
  5162 
  5163 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5164 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5165 'inductive' etc.
  5166 
  5167 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5168 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5169 
  5170 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5171 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5172 
  5173 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5174 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5175 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5176 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5177 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5178 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5179 the algorithm W:
  5180 
  5181  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5182  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5183          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5184 
  5185 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5186 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5187 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5188 
  5189 
  5190 *** HOLCF ***
  5191 
  5192 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5193 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5194 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5195 
  5196 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5197 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5198 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5199 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5200 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5201 
  5202 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5203 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5204 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5205 
  5206 
  5207 *** ZF ***
  5208 
  5209 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5210 
  5211 
  5212 *** ML ***
  5213 
  5214 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5215 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5216 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5217 5.2.1!
  5218 
  5219 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5220 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5221 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5222 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5223 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5224 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5225 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5226 
  5227 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5228 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5229 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5230 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5231 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5232 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5233 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5234 
  5235 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5236 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5237 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5238 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5239 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5240 
  5241 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5242 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5243 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5244 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5245 Method.add_method.
  5246 
  5247 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5248 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5249 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5250 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5251 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5252 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5253 
  5254 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5255 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5256 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5257 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5258 examples.
  5259 
  5260 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5261 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5262 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5263 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5264 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5265 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5266 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5267 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5268 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5269 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5270 
  5271 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5272 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5273 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5274 
  5275 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5276 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5277 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5278 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5279 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5280 resort for legacy applications.
  5281 
  5282 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5283 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5284 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5285 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5286 explicit runtime argument.
  5287 
  5288 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5289 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5290 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5291 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5292 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5293 
  5294 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5295 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5296 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5297 theory state.
  5298 
  5299 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5300 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5301 
  5302   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5303   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5304   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5305   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5306   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5307   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5308   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5309   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5310   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5311   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5312 
  5313 
  5314 *** System ***
  5315 
  5316 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5317 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5318 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5319 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5320 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5321 
  5322 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5323 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5324 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5325 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5326 
  5327 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5328 
  5329 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5330 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5331 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5332 prover operations.
  5333 
  5334 
  5335 
  5336 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5337 -------------------------------
  5338 
  5339 *** General ***
  5340 
  5341 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5342 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5343 
  5344 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5345 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5346 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5347 provides a proper context already.
  5348 
  5349 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5350 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5351 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5352 
  5353 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5354 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5355 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5356 swap theory imports.
  5357 
  5358 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5359 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5360 
  5361 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5362 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5363 white space without escapes.
  5364 
  5365 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5366 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5367 "foo_bar".
  5368 
  5369 
  5370 *** Pure ***
  5371 
  5372 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5373 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5374 
  5375 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5376 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5377 
  5378 (1) unused_thms
  5379      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5380 
  5381 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5382      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5383      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5384 
  5385 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5386      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5387      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5388      their ancestors.
  5389 
  5390 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5391 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5392 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5393 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5394 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5395 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5396 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5397 
  5398 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5399 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5400 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5401 
  5402 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5403 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5404 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5405 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5406 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5407 
  5408 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5409 
  5410 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5411 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5412 update of theories within ML code.
  5413 
  5414 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5415 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5416 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5417 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5418 
  5419 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5420 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5421 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5422 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5423 
  5424 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5425 
  5426 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5427 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5428 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5429 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5430 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5431 
  5432 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5433 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5434 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5435 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5436 situations.
  5437 
  5438 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5439 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5440 proof text.
  5441 
  5442 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5443 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5444 
  5445 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5446 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5447 predicates.
  5448 
  5449 
  5450 *** Document preparation ***
  5451 
  5452 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5453 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5454 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5455 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5456 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5457 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5458 
  5459 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5460 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5461 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5462 
  5463 
  5464 *** HOL ***
  5465 
  5466 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5467 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5468 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5469 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5470 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5471 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5472 
  5473 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5474 with multithreading.
  5475 
  5476 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5477 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5478 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5479 
  5480 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5481 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5482 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5483 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5484 
  5485 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5486 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5487 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5488 and makes them available separately.  See
  5489 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5490 
  5491 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5492 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5493 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5494 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5495 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5496 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5497 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5498 the declared rules.
  5499 
  5500 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5501 
  5502   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5503 
  5504 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5505 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5506 
  5507 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5508 
  5509   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5510 
  5511   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5512     definitions on => and bool.
  5513 
  5514   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5515     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5516     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5517 
  5518       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5519       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5520       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5521       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5522       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5523       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5524       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5525       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5526 
  5527   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5528     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5529     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5530 
  5531   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5532     The proof pattern
  5533 
  5534       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5535       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5536 
  5537     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5538     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5539 
  5540       have "EX S. P S"
  5541       proof
  5542         show "P S" <...>
  5543       qed
  5544 
  5545   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5546     The proof pattern
  5547 
  5548       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5549       also have "S = T" <...>
  5550       finally have "P T" .
  5551 
  5552     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5553     must be replaced by something like
  5554 
  5555       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5556       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5557       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5558 
  5559   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5560     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5561 
  5562       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5563 
  5564     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5565     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5566     type of the form
  5567 
  5568       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5569 
  5570     rather than
  5571 
  5572       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5573 
  5574 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5575 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5576 
  5577 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5578 
  5579 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5580 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5581 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5582 
  5583 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5584 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5585 
  5586 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5587 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5588 
  5589 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5590 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5591 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5592 
  5593 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5594 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5595 
  5596   less_trans
  5597   less_linear
  5598   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5599   le_less_trans
  5600   less_le_trans
  5601   less_not_sym
  5602   less_asym
  5603 
  5604 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5605 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5606 and different variable names.
  5607 
  5608 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5609 
  5610 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5611 finite maps.
  5612 
  5613 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5614 
  5615 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5616 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5617 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5618 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5619 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5620 accordingly.
  5621 
  5622 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5623 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5624 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5625 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5626 
  5627 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5628 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5629 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5630 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5631 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5632 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5633 
  5634 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5635 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5636 
  5637 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5638 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5639 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5640 
  5641 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5642 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5643 
  5644 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5645 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5646 
  5647 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5648 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5649 
  5650 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5651 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5652 
  5653 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5654 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5655 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5656 
  5657 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5658 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5659 
  5660 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5661 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5662 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5663 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5664 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5665 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5666 
  5667 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5668 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5669 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5670 
  5671 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5672 
  5673 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5674 
  5675 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5676 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5677 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5678 
  5679 
  5680 *** ZF ***
  5681 
  5682 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5683 same session:
  5684 
  5685   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5686   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5687   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5688   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5689   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5690   List      -> List_ZF
  5691   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5692 
  5693 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5694 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5695 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5696 
  5697 
  5698 *** ML ***
  5699 
  5700 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5701 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5702 
  5703 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5704 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5705 
  5706 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5707 
  5708 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5709 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5710 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5711 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5712 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5713 
  5714 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5715 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5716 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5717 
  5718 
  5719 *** System ***
  5720 
  5721 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5722 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5723 
  5724 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5725 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5726 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5727 
  5728 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5729 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5730 
  5731 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5732 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5733 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5734 
  5735 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5736 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5737 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5738 
  5739 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5740 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5741 
  5742 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5743 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5744 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5745 script.
  5746 
  5747 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5748 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5749 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5750 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5751 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5752 
  5753 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5754 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5755 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5756 
  5757 
  5758 
  5759 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5760 -----------------------------------
  5761 
  5762 *** General ***
  5763 
  5764 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5765 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5766 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5767 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5768 
  5769 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5770 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5771 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5772 
  5773 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5774 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5775 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5776 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5777 
  5778 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5779 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5780 quotes.
  5781 
  5782 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5783 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5784 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5785 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5786 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5787 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5788 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5789 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5790 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5791 
  5792 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5793 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5794 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5795 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5796 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5797 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5798 
  5799 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5800 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5801 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5802 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5803 
  5804 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5805 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5806 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5807 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5808 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5809 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5810 
  5811 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5812 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5813 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5814 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5815 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5816 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5817 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5818 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5819 
  5820 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5821 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5822 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5823 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5824 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5825 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5826 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5827 
  5828 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5829 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5830 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5831 
  5832 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5833 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5834 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5835 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5836 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5837 limit is imposed.
  5838 
  5839 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5840 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5841 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5842 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5843 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5844 and scalability.
  5845 
  5846 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5847 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5848 
  5849 
  5850 *** Document preparation ***
  5851 
  5852 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5853 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5854 current context.
  5855 
  5856 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5857 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5858 
  5859 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5860 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5861 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5862 
  5863 
  5864 *** Pure ***
  5865 
  5866 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5867 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5868 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5869 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5870 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5871 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5872 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5873 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5874 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5875 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5876 
  5877 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5878 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5879 sketch:
  5880 
  5881     internal compilation:
  5882         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5883     writing SML code to a file:
  5884         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5885     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5886         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5887     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5888         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5889 
  5890     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5891         method ``eval''
  5892 
  5893 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5894 
  5895 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5896 
  5897     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5898     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5899     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5900     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5901 
  5902 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5903 
  5904     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5905       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5906 
  5907     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5908       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5909 
  5910     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5911       {(target)}+
  5912         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5913 
  5914     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5915       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5916         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5917 
  5918 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5919 
  5920 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5921 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5922 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5923 codegen".
  5924 
  5925 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5926 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5927 annotations).
  5928 
  5929 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5930 syntax.
  5931 
  5932 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5933 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5934 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5935 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5936 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5937 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5938 
  5939 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5940 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5941 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5942 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5943 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5944 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5945 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5946 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5947 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5948 equations, see section "definitions".
  5949 
  5950 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5951 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5952 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5953 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5954 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5955 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5956 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5957 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5958 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5959 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5960 
  5961 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5962 configuration options:
  5963 
  5964   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5965   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5966   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5967   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5968   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5969   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5970   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5971   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5972   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5973 
  5974 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5975 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5976 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5977 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5978 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5979 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5980 order.
  5981 
  5982 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5983 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5984 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5985 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5986 context encountered later on.
  5987 
  5988 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5989 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5990 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5991 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5992 
  5993 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5994 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5995 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5996 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5997 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5998 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5999 
  6000 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6001 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  6002 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  6003 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  6004 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  6005 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  6006 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  6007 more permissive.
  6008 
  6009 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  6010 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  6011 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  6012 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  6013 maintainability of proof texts.
  6014 
  6015 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  6016 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6017 
  6018   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6019   then guess x and y by clarify
  6020 
  6021 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6022 proof tools being involved here.
  6023 
  6024 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6025 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6026 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6027 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6028 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6029 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6030 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6031 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6032 
  6033 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6034 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6035 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6036 
  6037   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6038   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6039   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6040   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6041 
  6042 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6043 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6044 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6045 
  6046 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6047 both named and unnamed ones.
  6048 
  6049 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6050 
  6051   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6052 
  6053 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6054 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6055 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6056 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6057 
  6058 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6059 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6060 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6061 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6062 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6063 
  6064 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6065 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6066 
  6067 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6068 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6069 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6070 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6071 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6072 originally first one.
  6073 
  6074 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6075 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6076 expected.
  6077 
  6078 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6079 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6080 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6081 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6082 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6083 
  6084   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6085     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6086     obtains x where "P x"
  6087 
  6088   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6089     assumes "A & B"
  6090     obtains A and B
  6091 
  6092   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6093     assumes "A | B"
  6094     obtains
  6095       A
  6096     | B
  6097 
  6098 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6099 explicitly:
  6100 
  6101   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6102     obtains "~ thesis"
  6103 
  6104   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6105     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6106 
  6107 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6108 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6109 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6110 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6111 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6112 case_names).
  6113 
  6114 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6115 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6116 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6117 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6118 
  6119 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6120 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6121 top-level lemma.
  6122 
  6123 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6124 introduction rule (default "that").
  6125 
  6126 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6127 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6128 to occur.
  6129 
  6130 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6131 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6132 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6133 representations independently of name spaces.
  6134 
  6135 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6136 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6137 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6138 
  6139 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6140 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6141 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6142 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6143 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6144 current context.
  6145 
  6146 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6147 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6148 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6149 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6150 
  6151   axiomatization
  6152     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6153     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6154 
  6155   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6156   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6157 
  6158   abbreviation
  6159     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6160     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6161 
  6162 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6163 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6164 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6165 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6166 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6167 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6168 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6169 
  6170 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6171 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6172 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6173 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6174 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6175 
  6176 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6177 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6178 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6179 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6180 
  6181 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6182 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6183 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6184 
  6185   definition "K x _ = x"
  6186 
  6187   inductive conj for A B
  6188   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6189 
  6190 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6191 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6192 abbreviations on output.
  6193 
  6194 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6195 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6196 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6197 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6198 
  6199 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6200 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6201 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6202 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6203 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6204 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6205 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6206 
  6207 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6208 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6209 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6210 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6211 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6212 
  6213 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6214 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6215 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6216 
  6217 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6218 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6219 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6220 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6221 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6222 
  6223   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6224     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6225 
  6226 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6227 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6228 partial_order.
  6229 
  6230 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6231 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6232 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6233 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6234 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6235 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6236 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6237 examples.
  6238 
  6239 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6240 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6241 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6242 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6243 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6244 
  6245 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6246 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6247 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6248 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6249 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6250 
  6251   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6252   (induct set: foo bar)
  6253   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6254   (induct type: foo bar)
  6255 
  6256 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6257 new format.
  6258 
  6259 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6260 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6261 
  6262 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6263 considered a legacy feature.
  6264 
  6265 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6266 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6267 
  6268 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6269 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6270 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6271 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6272   
  6273 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6274 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6275 manipulating the claset.
  6276 
  6277 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6278 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6279 least one premise.
  6280 
  6281 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6282 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6283 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6284 rule steps.
  6285 
  6286 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6287 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6288 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6289 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6290 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6291 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6292 
  6293 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6294 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6295 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6296 
  6297 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6298 the graph browser tool.
  6299 
  6300 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6301 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6302 
  6303 
  6304 *** HOL ***

  6306 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6307 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6308 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6309 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6310 multi-threading.
  6311   
  6312 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6313 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6314 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6315 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6316 work with multi-threading.
  6317 
  6318 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6319 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6320 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6321 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6322 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6323 
  6324 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6325 
  6326 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6327 equality.
  6328 
  6329 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6330 the new 'class' package:
  6331 
  6332     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6333     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6334     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  6335     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  6336     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  6337     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  6338     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  6339     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  6340     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  6341     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  6342     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  6343     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  6344     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  6345     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  6346     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  6347     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  6348     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max

  6351     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6352 
  6353 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6354 
  6355 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6356 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6357 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6358 names.
  6359 
  6360 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6361 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6362 
  6363 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6364 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6365 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6366 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6367 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6368 
  6369 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6370 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6371 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6372 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6373 
  6374 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6375 
  6376 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6377 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6378 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6379 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6380 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6381 
  6382 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6383 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6384 
  6385 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6386 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6387 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6388 
  6389 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6390 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6391 
  6392 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6393 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6394 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6395 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6396 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6397 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6398 in the current context.
  6399 
  6400 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6401 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6402 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6403 
  6404 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6405 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6406 
  6407 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6408 
  6409     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6410     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6411 
  6412     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6413       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6414     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6415     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6416 
  6417     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6418     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6419

  6522 
  6523 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6524 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6525 
  6526 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6527 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6528 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6529 "*.size".
  6530 
  6531 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6532 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6533 
  6534 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6535 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6536 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6537 
  6538 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6539 
  6540 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6541 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6542 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6543 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6544 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6545 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6546 numerals on all operations.
  6547 
  6548 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6549 
  6550 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6551 
  6552 * Code generator library theories:
  6553   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6554     languages.
  6555   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6556     languages.
  6557   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6558     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6559   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6560   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6561     denominator).
  6562   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6563     representable by rational numbers.
  6564   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6565     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6566     includes Code_Integer.
  6567   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6568     target-language built-in integers.
  6569   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6570     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6571 
  6572 * New package for inductive predicates
  6573 
  6574   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6575 
  6576     inductive
  6577       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6578       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6579     where
  6580       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6581     | ...
  6582 
  6583   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6584 
  6585     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6586 
  6587     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6588     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6589 
  6590     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6591     intros
  6592       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6593       ...
  6594 
  6595   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6596   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6597 
  6598     inductive_set
  6599       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6600       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6601     where
  6602       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6603     | ...
  6604 
  6605   or
  6606 
  6607     inductive_set
  6608       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6609       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6610       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6611     where
  6612       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6613     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6614     | ...
  6615 
  6616   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6617 
  6618   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6619   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6620 
  6621   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6622 
  6623   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6624     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6625     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6626     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6627     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6628 
  6629   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6630     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6631     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6632     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6633     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6634     statements of the form
  6635 
  6636       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6637 
  6638     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6639     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6640 
  6641       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6642 
  6643   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6644 
  6645       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6646         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6647         ==> ... ==> P
  6648 
  6649     for predicates and
  6650 
  6651       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6652         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6653         ==> ... ==> P
  6654 
  6655     for sets rather than
  6656 
  6657       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6658         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6659         ==> ... ==> P
  6660 
  6661     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6662     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6663     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6664 
  6665   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6666     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6667     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6668 
  6669 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6670 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6671 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6672 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6673 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6674 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6675 
  6676 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6677 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6678 
  6679 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6680 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6681 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6682 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6683 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6684 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6685 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6686 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6687 variable.
  6688 
  6689 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6690 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6691 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6692 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6693   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6694   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6695 
  6696 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6697 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6698 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6699 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6700 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6701 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6702 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6703 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6704 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6705 
  6706 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6707 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6708 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6709 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6710 rat, etc.
  6711 
  6712 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6713 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6714 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6715 
  6716 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6717 
  6718 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6719 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6720 
  6721 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6722 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6723 
  6724 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6725 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6726 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6727 
  6728 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6729 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6730 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6731 
  6732 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6733 
  6734 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6735 
  6736 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6737 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6738 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6739 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6740 
  6741 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6742 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6743 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6744 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6745 
  6746 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6747 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6748 algebraic operations.
  6749 
  6750 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6752 
  6753 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6754 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6755 
  6756 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6757 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6758 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6759 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6760 adapted.
  6761  
  6762 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6763 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6764 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6765 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6766 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6767 
  6768 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6769 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6770 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6771 
  6772 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6773 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6774 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6775 
  6776 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6777 
  6778 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6779 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6780 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6781   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6782       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6783   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6784   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6785   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6786 
  6787 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6788 
  6789 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6790 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6791 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6792 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6793 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6794 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6795 
  6796 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6797 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6798 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6799 
  6800 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6801 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6802 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6803 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6804 
  6805 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6806 
  6807 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6808 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6809 
  6810 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6811 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6812 
  6813 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6814 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6815 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6816 
  6817 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6818 True/False.
  6819 
  6820 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6821 
  6822 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6823 
  6824 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6825 ``rule'' method.
  6826 
  6827 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6828 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6829 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6830 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6831 
  6832 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6833 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6834 
  6835 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6836 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6837 
  6838 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6839 Library.
  6840 
  6841 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6842 
  6843 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6844 as greatest fixed-point.
  6845 
  6846 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6847 association lists.
  6848 
  6849 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6850 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6851 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6852 
  6853 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6854 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6855 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6856 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6857 behavior.
  6858 
  6859 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6860 
  6861 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6862 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6863 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6864 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6865 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6866 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6867 
  6868 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6869 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6870 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6871 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6872 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6873 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6874 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6875 
  6876 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6877 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6878 
  6879 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6880 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6881 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6882 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6883 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6884 
  6885 
  6886 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6887 
  6888 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6889 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6890 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6891 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6892 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6893 
  6894 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6895 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6896 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6897 
  6898 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6899 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6900 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6901 
  6902 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6903 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6904 
  6905 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6906 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6907 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6908 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6924   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6925 
  6926 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6927 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6928 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6929 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6941 
  6942 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6943 
  6944 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6945 
  6946 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6947 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6948 
  6949 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6950 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6951 
  6952 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6953 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6954 of algebraic structures.
  6955 
  6956 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6957 
  6958 
  6959 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6960 
  6961 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6962 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6963 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6964 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6965 
  6966 
  6967 *** ML ***
  6968 
  6969 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6970 (even on SML/NJ).
  6971 
  6972 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6973 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6974 compile-time.  For example:
  6975 
  6976 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6977 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6978 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6979 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6980 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6981 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6982 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6983 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6984 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6985 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6986 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6987 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6988 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6989 ML {* @{context} *}
  6990 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6991 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6992 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6993 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6994 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6995 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6996 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6997 
  6998 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6999 
  7000 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  7001 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  7002 
  7003 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  7004 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  7005 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  7006 
  7007 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  7008 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  7009 
  7010 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  7011 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  7012 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  7013 
  7014 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  7015 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  7016 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7017 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7018 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7019 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7020 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7021 declarations and definitions.
  7022 
  7023 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7024 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7025 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7026 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7027 
  7028 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7029 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7030 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7031 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7032 
  7033 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  7034 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  7035 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  7036 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  7037 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  7038 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7039 
  7040 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7041 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7042 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7043 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7044 attributes, methods, etc.
  7045 
  7046 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7047 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7048 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7049 fold_map combinators.
  7050 
  7051 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7052 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7053 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7054 derivation.
  7055 
  7056 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7057 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7058 achieve the old behaviour.
  7059 
  7060 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7061 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7062 statements.
  7063 
  7064 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7065 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7066 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7067 
  7068 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7069 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7070 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7071 
  7072   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7073   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7074   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7075 
  7076 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7077 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7078 
  7079 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7080 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7081 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7082 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7083 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7084 
  7085 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7086 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7087 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7088 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7089 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7090 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7091 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7092 in a locale context).
  7093 
  7094 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7095 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7096 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7097 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7098 
  7099 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7100 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7101 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7102 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7103 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7104 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7105 
  7106 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7107 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7108 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7109 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7110 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7111 
  7112   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7113 
  7114 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7115 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7116 this:
  7117 
  7118   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7119 
  7120 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7121 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7122 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7123 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7124 
  7125 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7126 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7127 
  7128 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7129 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7130 
  7131 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7132 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7133 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7134 batch mode.
  7135 
  7136 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7137 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7138 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7139 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7140 
  7141 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7142 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7143 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7144 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7145 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7146 
  7147 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7148 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7149 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7150 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7151 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7152 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7153 
  7154 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7155 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7156 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7157 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7158 
  7159 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7160 "Trueprop" etc.
  7161 
  7162 
  7163 *** System ***
  7164 
  7165 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7166 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7167 Isabelle installations.
  7168 
  7169 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7170 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7171 code.
  7172 
  7173 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7174 
  7175 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7176 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7177 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7178 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7179 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7180 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7181 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7182 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7183 Implementation manual.
  7184 
  7185 
  7186 
  7187 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7188 ----------------------------------
  7189 
  7190 *** General ***
  7191 
  7192 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7193 
  7194   theory <name>
  7195   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7196   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7197   begin
  7198 
  7199 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7200 
  7201   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7202 
  7203 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7204 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7205 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7206 
  7207 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7208 relative and absolute paths.
  7209 
  7210 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7211 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7212 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7213 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7214 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7215 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7216 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7217 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7218 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7219 
  7220   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7221 
  7222 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7223 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7224 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7225 
  7226 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7227 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7228 
  7229 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7230 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7231 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7232 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7233 
  7234   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7235   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7236 
  7237 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7238 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7239 faster.
  7240 
  7241 
  7242 *** Document preparation ***
  7243 
  7244 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7245 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7246 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7247 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7248 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7249 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7250 
  7251 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7252 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7253 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7254 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7255 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7256 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7257 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7258 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7259 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7260 \isadroptag.
  7261 
  7262 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7263 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7264 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7265 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7266 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7267 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7268 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7269 specified above.
  7270 
  7271 * Several new antiquotations:
  7272 
  7273   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7274 
  7275   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7276 
  7277   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7278   argument is a known logical constant;
  7279 
  7280   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7281   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7282 
  7283   @{ML text}
  7284 
  7285 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7286 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7287 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7288 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7289 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7290 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7291 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7292 
  7293 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7294 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7295 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7296 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7297 
  7298 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7299 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7300 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7301 
  7302 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7303 a proof context.
  7304 
  7305 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7306 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7307 
  7308 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7309 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7310 
  7311 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7312 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7313 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7314 
  7315 
  7316 *** Pure ***
  7317 
  7318 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7319 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7320 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7321 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7322 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7323 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7324 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7325 
  7326 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7327 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7328 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7329 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7330 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7331 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7332 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7333 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7334 
  7335 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7336 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7337 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7338 
  7339 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7340 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7341 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7342 
  7343 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7344 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7345 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7346 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7347 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7348 
  7349 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7350 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7351 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7352 axclasses vs. locales.
  7353 
  7354 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7355 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7356 
  7357 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7358 marks in schematic variable names.
  7359 
  7360 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7361 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7362 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7363 
  7364   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7365     by simp
  7366 
  7367 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7368 
  7369 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7370 annotations as "(00...)".
  7371 
  7372 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7373 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7374 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7375 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7376 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7377 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7378 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7379 
  7380 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7381 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7382 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7383 specifications.
  7384 
  7385 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7386 locally fixed variables as well.
  7387 
  7388 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7389 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7390 Limit.
  7391 
  7392 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7393 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7394 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7395 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7396 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7397 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7398 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7399 
  7400 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7401 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7402 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7403 
  7404 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7405 
  7406 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7407 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7408 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7409 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7410 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7411 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7412 
  7413 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7414 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7415 
  7416 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7417 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7418 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7419 
  7420 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7421 
  7422 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7423 theory development.
  7424 
  7425 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7426 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7427 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7428 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7429 
  7430 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7431 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7432 quoted when used as identifier.
  7433 
  7434 
  7435 *** Locales ***
  7436 
  7437 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7438 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7439 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7440 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7441 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7442 commands is a follows:
  7443 
  7444   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7445   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7446   (3) interpret expr inst
  7447 
  7448 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7449 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7450 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7451 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7452 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7453 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7454 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7455 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7456 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7457 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7458 
  7459 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7460 'interpret' instead.
  7461 
  7462 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7463 parameters.
  7464 
  7465 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7466 redeclaration.
  7467 
  7468 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7469 
  7470 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7471 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7472 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7473 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7474 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7475 
  7476 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7477 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7478 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7479 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7480 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7481 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7482 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7483 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7484 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7485 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7486 
  7487 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7488 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7489 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7490 
  7491 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7492 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7493 
  7494 
  7495 *** Provers ***
  7496 
  7497 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7498 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7499 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7500 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7501 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7502 
  7503 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7504 and quasi orders.
  7505 
  7506 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7507 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7508 
  7509 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7510 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7511 
  7512 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7513 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7514 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7515 
  7516 
  7517 *** HOL ***
  7518 
  7519 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7520 
  7521   syntax (epsilon)
  7522     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7523 
  7524 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7525 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7526 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7527 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7528 
  7529 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7530 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7531 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7532 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7533 
  7534 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7535 instead of ":".
  7536 
  7537 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7538 
  7539   Old       New
  7540   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7541   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7542   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7543   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7544   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7545 
  7546 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7547 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7548 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7549 
  7550   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7551   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7552 
  7553 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7554 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7555 interface.
  7556 
  7557 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7558 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7559 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7560 be a tuple pattern.
  7561 
  7562 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7563 
  7564   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7565   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7566   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7567   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7568 
  7569 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7570 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7571 
  7572 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7573 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7574 (insert F x)'.
  7575 
  7576 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7577 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7578 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7579 
  7580 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7581 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7582 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7583 
  7584 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7585 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7586 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7587 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7588 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7589 
  7590 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7591 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7592 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7593 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7594 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7595 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7596 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7597 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7598 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7599 
  7600 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7601 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7602 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7603 quite long.
  7604 
  7605 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7606 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7607 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7608 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7609 
  7610 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7611 type-variables in the term.
  7612 
  7613 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7614 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7615 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7616 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7617 goals than previously.
  7618 
  7619 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7620 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7621 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7622 just like y <= x.
  7623 
  7624 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7625 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7626 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7627 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7628 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7629 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7630 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7631 
  7632 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7633 
  7634 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7635 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7636 
  7637 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7638 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7639 inequalities.
  7640 
  7641 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7642 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7643

  7654   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7655 
  7656 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7657      
  7658      zero_le_square
  7659      not_square_less_zero 
  7660 
  7661   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7668      abs_realpow_two

  7670 
  7671 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7672 
  7673 * Theory List:
  7674 
  7675 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7676 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7677 
  7678   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7679   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7680   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7681   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7682 
  7683 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7684 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7685 
  7686 
  7687 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7688 
  7689 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7690 integers in the reals.
  7691 
  7692 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7693 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7694 
  7695   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7696   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7697   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7698   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7699   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7700 
  7701 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7702 
  7703 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7704 
  7705 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7706 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7707 
  7708   hypreal = real star
  7709   hypnat = nat star
  7710   hcomplex = complex star
  7711 
  7712 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7713 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7850 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7851 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7852 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7853 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7854 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7855 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7856 
  7857 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7858 
  7859 
  7860 *** HOLCF ***
  7861 
  7862 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7863 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7864 type-inference.
  7865 
  7866 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7867 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7868 instead of exponential time).
  7869 
  7870 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7871 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7872 
  7873   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7874 
  7875 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7876 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7877 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7878 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7879 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7880 syntax and examples.
  7881 
  7882 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7883 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7884 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7885 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7886 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7887 
  7888 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7889 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7890 
  7891   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7892   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7893   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7894   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7895   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7896   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7897 
  7898 
  7899 *** ZF ***
  7900 
  7901 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7902 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7903 of a homomorphism).
  7904 
  7905 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7906 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7907 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7908 
  7909 
  7910 *** Cube ***
  7911 
  7912 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7913 theories.
  7914 
  7915 
  7916 *** ML ***
  7917 
  7918 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7919 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7920 
  7921 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7922 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7923 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7924 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7925 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7926 
  7927 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7928 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7929 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7930 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7931 
  7932 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7933 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7934 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7935 
  7936     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7937     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7938     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7939     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7940     seq fs = List.app fs
  7941     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7942     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7943 
  7944 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7945 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7946 
  7947   x |> f                f #> g
  7948   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7949 
  7950 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7951 
  7952   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7953   infix 2 ?;
  7954   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7955   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7956 
  7957 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7958 infix operators.
  7959 
  7960 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7961 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7962 example:
  7963 
  7964   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7965     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7966 
  7967   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7968     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7969 
  7970   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7971     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7972 
  7973   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7974     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7975 
  7976 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7977 available:
  7978 
  7979   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7980   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7981   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7982   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7983 
  7984 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7985 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7986 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7987 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7988 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7989 
  7990   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7991   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7992   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7993 
  7994 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7995 
  7996   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7997   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7998 
  7999 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8000 Naive rewrites:
  8001 
  8002   make_keylist = AList.make
  8003   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  8004 
  8005 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  8006   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  8007 
  8008     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  8009     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  8010 
  8011 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  8012   Naive rewrites:
  8013 
  8014     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  8015     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  8016 
  8017 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8018 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8019 lists.
  8020 
  8021 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8022 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8023 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8024 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8025 
  8026 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8027 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8028 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8029 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8030 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8031 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8032 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8033 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8034 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8035 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8036 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8037 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8038 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8039 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8040 Output.raw have no effect.
  8041 
  8042 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8043 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8044 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8045 
  8046 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8047 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8048 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8049 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8050 
  8051 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8052 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8053 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8054 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8055 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8056 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8057 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8058 
  8059 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8060 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8061 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8062 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8063 
  8064 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8065 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8066 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8067 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8068 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8069 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8070 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8071 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8072 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8073 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8074 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8075 
  8076 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8077 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8078 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8079 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8080 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8081 with earlier declarations.
  8082 
  8083 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8084 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8085 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8086 
  8087 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8088 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8089 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8090 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8091 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8092 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8093 
  8094   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8095     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8096 
  8097   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8098     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8099 
  8100   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8101     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8102     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8103     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8104 
  8105 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8106 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8107 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8108 
  8109 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8110 
  8111 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8112 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8113 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8114 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8115 
  8116 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8117 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8118 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8119 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8120 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8121 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8122 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8123 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8124 
  8125 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8126 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8127 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8128 
  8129 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8130 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8131 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8132 
  8133 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8134 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8135 
  8136   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8137   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8138   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8139   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8140 
  8141 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8142 
  8143 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8144 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8145 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8146 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8147 (both increase the runtime).
  8148 
  8149 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8150 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8151 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8152 
  8153 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8154 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8155 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8156 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8157 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8158 for further details.
  8159 
  8160 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8161 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8162 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8163 scripts for the time being.
  8164 
  8165 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8166 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8167 
  8168   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8169   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8170 
  8171 
  8172 *** System ***
  8173 
  8174 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8175 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8176 
  8177 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8178 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8179 
  8180 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8181 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8182 
  8183 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8184 distribution being used.
  8185 
  8186 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8187 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8188 theories.
  8189 
  8190 
  8191 
  8192 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8193 --------------------------------
  8194 
  8195 *** General ***
  8196 
  8197 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8198   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8199 
  8200 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8201   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8202   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8203   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8204   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8205   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8206   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8207   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8208   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8209   existing theory and ML files.
  8210 
  8211 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8212 
  8213 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8214   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8215   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8216   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8217 
  8218 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8219   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8220   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8221   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8222 
  8223 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8224   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8225   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8226 
  8227 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8228   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8229   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8230   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8231   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8232 
  8233 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8234   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8235 
  8236 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8237   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8238   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8239 
  8240 
  8241 *** Isar ***
  8242 
  8243 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8244   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8245   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8246     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8247     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8248     emulations.
  8249   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8250     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8251     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8252 
  8253 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8254   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8255     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8256     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8257   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8258 
  8259 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8260   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8261   and derived forms.
  8262 
  8263 * Locales:
  8264   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8265     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8266     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8267     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8268   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8269     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8270   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8271     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8272   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8273         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8274     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8275     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8276     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8277     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8278     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8279       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8280     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8281     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8282     with "locale (open)".
  8283       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8284 
  8285 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8286   (Isar) contexts.
  8287 
  8288 
  8289 *** HOL ***
  8290 
  8291 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8292   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8293   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8294   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8295   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8296 
  8297 * Simplifier:
  8298   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8299     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8300     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8301     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8302     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8303   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8304     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8305     is solved by simplification already.
  8306 
  8307 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8308     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8309 
  8310 * Numerics:
  8311   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8312     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8313   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8314     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8315   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8316     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8317     exponentiation).
  8318 
  8319 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8320 
  8321 * Records:
  8322   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8323     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8324     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8325   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8326     (not enabled by default).
  8327   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8328     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8329   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8330 
  8331 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8332   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8333   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8334 
  8335 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8336 
  8337 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8338 
  8339 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8340   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8341 
  8342 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8343   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8344 
  8345 * Unions and Intersections:
  8346   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8347   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8348   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8349   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8350 
  8351 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8352   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8353   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8354   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8355 
  8356 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8357   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8358 
  8359 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8360   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8361 
  8362 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8363   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8364   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8365 
  8366 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8367   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8368   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8369   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8370   for examples.
  8371 
  8372 
  8373 *** HOLCF ***
  8374 
  8375 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8376 
  8377 
  8378 
  8379 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8380 ------------------------------
  8381 
  8382 *** General ***
  8383 
  8384 * Provers/simplifier:
  8385 
  8386   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8387     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8388     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8389     the order of assumptions.
  8390 
  8391     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8392 
  8393     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8394        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8395 
  8396         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8397 
  8398        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8399 
  8400         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8401 
  8402        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8403        kind of problem.
  8404 
  8405     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8406        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8407        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8408        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8409        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8410        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8411        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8412 
  8413   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8414 
  8415   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8416     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8417     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8418     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8419     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8420     the simplifier would diverge.
  8421 
  8422   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8423 
  8424   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8425     congruence is ignored.
  8426 
  8427 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8428   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8429   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8430 
  8431 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8432 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8433    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8434 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8435 
  8436 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8437 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8438       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8439 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8440 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8441 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8442 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8443 
  8444 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8445 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8446 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8447 assumption failed.
  8448 
  8449 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8450 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8451 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8452 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8453 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8454 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8455 on the old view without predicates;
  8456 
  8457 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8458 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8459 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8460 
  8461 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8462 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8463 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8464 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8465 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8466 be given (the default is 40);
  8467 
  8468 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8469 (batch-mode only);
  8470 
  8471 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8472 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8473 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8474 
  8475 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8476 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8477 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8478 
  8479 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8480 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8481 
  8482 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8483 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8484 
  8485 
  8486 *** HOL ***
  8487 
  8488 * arith(_tac)
  8489 
  8490  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8491    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8492    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8493    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8494 
  8495  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8496 
  8497  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8498    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8499    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8500 
  8501 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8502 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8503 
  8504 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8505 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8506 
  8507 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8508 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8509 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8510 
  8511 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8512 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8513 
  8514 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8515 definition;
  8516 
  8517 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8518 Finite_Set);
  8519 
  8520 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8521 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8522 
  8523 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8524   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8525 
  8526 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8527 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8528 of the empty set.
  8529 
  8530 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8531 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8532 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8533 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8534 
  8535 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8536 
  8537 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8538 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8539 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8540 
  8541 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8542 
  8543 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8544 Fleuriot);
  8545 
  8546 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8547 
  8548 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8549 Gray and Kramer);
  8550 
  8551 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8552 
  8553 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8554 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8555 
  8556 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8557 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8558 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8559 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8560 assignment, exceptions.
  8561 
  8562 
  8563 *** ZF ***
  8564 
  8565 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8566 universe, etc.);
  8567 
  8568 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8569 
  8570 
  8571 *** ML ***
  8572 
  8573 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8574 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8575 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8576 
  8577 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8578 
  8579 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8580 up simprocs;
  8581 
  8582 
  8583 *** Document preparation ***
  8584 
  8585 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8586 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8587 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8588 
  8589 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8590 other packages
  8591 
  8592 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8593 broke \Rightarrow)
  8594 
  8595 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8596 textcomp package)
  8597 
  8598 
  8599 
  8600 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8601 --------------------------------
  8602 
  8603 *** Document preparation ***
  8604 
  8605 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8606 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8607 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8608 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8609 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8610 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8611 
  8612 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8613 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8614 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8615 
  8616 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8617 blocks after section headings;
  8618 
  8619 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8620 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8621 
  8622 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8623 better in printed text;
  8624 
  8625 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8626 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8627 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8628 
  8629 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8630 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8631 location;
  8632 
  8633 
  8634 *** Isar ***
  8635 
  8636 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8637   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8638     "case (Suc n)");
  8639   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8640     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8641     instantiation of cases;
  8642   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8643     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8644     rules without further ado;
  8645   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8646     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8647     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8648     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8649     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8650   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8651     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8652     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8653     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8654     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8655     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8656   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8657     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8658     below);
  8659   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8660     success (no backtracking);
  8661   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8662   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8663   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8664     General versions);
  8665   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8666   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8667 
  8668 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8669 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8670 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8671 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8672 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8673 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8674 fails:
  8675 
  8676   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8677 
  8678 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8679 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8680 
  8681 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8682 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8683 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8684 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8685 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8686 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8687 some examples;
  8688 
  8689 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8690 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8691 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8692 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8693 qualified by the locale name);
  8694 
  8695 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8696 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8697 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8698 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8699 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8700 
  8701 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8702 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8703 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8704 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8705 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8706 
  8707 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8708 
  8709 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8710 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8711 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8712 
  8713 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8714 
  8715 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8716 
  8717 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8718 
  8719 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8720 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8721 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8722 
  8723 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8724 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8725 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8726 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8727 proof *scripts*;
  8728 
  8729 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8730 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8731 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8732 especially important for locales);
  8733 
  8734 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8735 mode;
  8736 
  8737 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8738 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8739 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8740 situations;
  8741 
  8742 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8743 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8744 
  8745 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8746 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8747 discontinued;
  8748 
  8749 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8750 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8751 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8752 
  8753 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8754 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8755 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8756 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8757 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8758 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8759 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8760 
  8761 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8762 of introduction rules;
  8763 
  8764 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8765 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8766 conditional rules;
  8767 
  8768 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8769 
  8770 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8771 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8772 
  8773 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8774 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8775 
  8776 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8777 wf_induct_rule;
  8778 
  8779 
  8780 *** HOL ***
  8781 
  8782 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8783 follows:
  8784 
  8785   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8786   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8787 
  8788   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8789   binary representation internally;
  8790 
  8791   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8792   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8793 
  8794 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8795 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8796 
  8797   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8798   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8799   to be spaced properly;
  8800 
  8801   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8802   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8803 
  8804   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8805 
  8806   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8807 
  8808 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8809 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8810 
  8811 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8812 
  8813 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8814 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8815 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8816 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8817 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8818 
  8819 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8820   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8821     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8822     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8823     declared as simp by default;
  8824   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8825     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8826   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8827     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8828   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8829   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8830     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8831     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8832   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8833     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8834 
  8835 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8836 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8837 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8838 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8839 
  8840 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8841 
  8842 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8843         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8844         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8845 
  8846 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8847 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8848 
  8849 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8850 
  8851 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8852 
  8853 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8854 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8855   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8856 
  8857 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8858 in this (rare) case use:
  8859 
  8860   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8861   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8862 
  8863 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8864 MAY FAIL;
  8865 
  8866 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8867 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8868 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8869 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8870 
  8871 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8872 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8873 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8874 
  8875 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8876 expressions;
  8877 
  8878 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8879 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8880 
  8881 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8882 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8883 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8884 
  8885 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8886 
  8887 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8888 the "cases" method);
  8889 
  8890 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8891 Florian Kammller);
  8892 
  8893 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8894 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8895 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8896 
  8897 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8898 
  8899 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8900 
  8901 
  8902 *** HOLCF ***
  8903 
  8904 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8905 operations;
  8906 
  8907 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8908 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8909 
  8910 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8911 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8912 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8913 
  8914 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8915 
  8916 
  8917 *** ZF ***
  8918 
  8919 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8920 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8921 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8922 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8923 
  8924 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8925 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8926 
  8927 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8928 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8929 
  8930 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8931 typeless version of the formalism;
  8932 
  8933 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8934 format;
  8935 
  8936 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8937 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8938 new-style theory format;
  8939 
  8940 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8941 
  8942 
  8943 *** General ***
  8944 
  8945 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8946 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8947 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8948 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8949 
  8950 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8951 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8952 
  8953 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8954 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8955 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8956 properly;
  8957 
  8958 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8959 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8960 
  8961 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8962 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8963 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8964 type variable);
  8965 
  8966 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8967 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8968 "type_brackets";
  8969 
  8970 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8971 tokens into AST constants;
  8972 
  8973 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8974 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8975 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8976 
  8977 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8978 practice);
  8979 
  8980 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8981 addSafter;
  8982 
  8983 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8984 as well;
  8985 
  8986 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8987 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8988 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8989 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8990 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8991 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8992 
  8993 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8994 
  8995 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8996 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8997 
  8998 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8999 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9000 
  9001 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  9002 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  9003 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  9004 
  9005 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  9006 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  9007 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  9008 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  9009 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  9010 
  9011 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  9012 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  9013 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  9014 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  9015 
  9016 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9017 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9018 terminal);
  9019 
  9020 
  9021 
  9022 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9023 -----------------------------------
  9024 
  9025 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9026 
  9027 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9028 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9029 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9030 
  9031 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9032 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9033 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9034 'split_rule (complete)';
  9035 
  9036 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9037 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9038 
  9039 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9040 
  9041 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9042 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9043 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9044 
  9045 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9046 operation;
  9047 
  9048 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9049 
  9050 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9051 
  9052 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9053 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9054 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9055 
  9056 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9057 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9058 
  9059 
  9060 *** Document preparation ***
  9061 
  9062 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9063 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9064 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9065 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9066 type-writer);
  9067 
  9068 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9069 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9070 
  9071 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9072 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9073 
  9074 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9075 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9076 definitions);
  9077 
  9078 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9079 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9080 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9081 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9082 
  9083 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9084 fonts;
  9085 
  9086 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9087 generation;
  9088 
  9089 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9090 
  9091 
  9092 *** Isar ***
  9093 
  9094 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9095 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9096 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9097 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9098 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9099 
  9100 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9101 rules as well;
  9102 
  9103 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9104 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9105 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9106 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9107 
  9108 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9109 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9110 
  9111 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9112 statements as well;
  9113 
  9114 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9115 
  9116 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9117 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9118 
  9119 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9120 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9121 
  9122 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9123 
  9124 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9125 
  9126 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9127 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9128 
  9129 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9130 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9131 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9132 
  9133 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9134 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9135 the result to be shown in each case;
  9136 
  9137 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9138 
  9139 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9140 
  9141 
  9142 *** HOL ***
  9143 
  9144 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9145 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9146 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9147 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9148 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9149 
  9150 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9151 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9152 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9153 
  9154 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9155 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9156 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9157 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9158 literature;
  9159 
  9160 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9161 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9162 operator \<Sum>;
  9163 
  9164 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9165 HOL/subset.thy);
  9166 
  9167 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9168 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9169 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9170 
  9171 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9172 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9173 
  9174 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9175 rules with string literals);
  9176 
  9177 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9178  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9179  functions for the reals;
  9180 
  9181 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9182 
  9183 
  9184 *** CTT ***
  9185 
  9186 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9187 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9188 
  9189 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9190 and Arith);
  9191 
  9192 
  9193 *** General ***
  9194 
  9195 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9196 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9197 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9198 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9199 
  9200 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9201 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9202 
  9203 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9204 as assumptions as well;
  9205 
  9206 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9207 
  9208 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9209 
  9210 
  9211 
  9212 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9213 ----------------------------------
  9214 
  9215 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9216 
  9217 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9218 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9219 issue the following ML commands:
  9220 
  9221   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9222   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9223 
  9224 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9225 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9226 
  9227 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9228 
  9229 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9230 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9231 
  9232   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9233   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9234   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9235   selectI2         -> someI2
  9236   selectI          -> someI
  9237   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9238   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9239   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9240 
  9241 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9242 
  9243 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9244 instead);
  9245 
  9246 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9247 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9248 
  9249 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9250 
  9251 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9252 sometimes be needed;
  9253 
  9254 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9255 
  9256 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9257 
  9258 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9259 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9260 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9261 
  9262 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9263 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9264 
  9265 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9266 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9267 
  9268   syntax (symbols)
  9269     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9270       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9271 
  9272 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9273 
  9274 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9275 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9276 internally;
  9277 
  9278 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9279 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9280 
  9281 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9282 proofs;
  9283 
  9284 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9285 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9286 
  9287 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9288 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9289 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9290 "rule del";
  9291 
  9292 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9293 
  9294 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9295 
  9296 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9297 lib/texinputs);
  9298 
  9299 
  9300 *** Document preparation ***
  9301 
  9302 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9303 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9304 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9305 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9306 
  9307 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9308 including proper document sources;
  9309 
  9310 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9311 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9312 of isatool usedir;
  9313 
  9314 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9315 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9316 LaTeX debugging;
  9317 
  9318 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9319 
  9320 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9321 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9322 graph for 'all sessions';
  9323 
  9324 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9325 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9326 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9327 
  9328 
  9329 *** Isar ***
  9330 
  9331 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9332 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9333 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9334 
  9335 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9336 generalized existence reasoning;
  9337 
  9338 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9339 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9340 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9341 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9342 premises;
  9343 
  9344 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9345 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9346 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9347 to theorems as "tags";
  9348 
  9349 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9350 class/type/const name spaces;
  9351 
  9352 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9353 indicate potential overloading;
  9354 
  9355 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9356 
  9357 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9358 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9359 
  9360 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9361 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9362 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9363 
  9364 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9365 case name 'antecedent';
  9366 
  9367 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9368 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9369 
  9370 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9371 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9372 
  9373 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9374 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9375 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9376 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9377 
  9378 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9379 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9380 
  9381 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9382 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9383 well (including splits);
  9384 
  9385 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9386 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9387 
  9388 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9389 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9390 
  9391 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9392 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9393 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9394 
  9395 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9396 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9397 calculations;
  9398 
  9399 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9400 method anyway;
  9401 
  9402 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9403 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9404 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9405 
  9406 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9407 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9408 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9409 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9410 
  9411 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9412 
  9413 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9414 
  9415 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9416 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9417 proof states;
  9418 
  9419 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9420 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9421 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9422 
  9423 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9424 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9425 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9426 (for HOL datatypes);
  9427 
  9428 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9429 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9430 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9431 
  9432 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9433 
  9434 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9435 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9436 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9437 
  9438 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9439 
  9440 
  9441 *** HOL ***
  9442 
  9443 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9444 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9445 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9446 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9447 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9448 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9449 
  9450 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9451 Clemens Ballarin;
  9452 
  9453 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9454 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9455 Rasmussen;
  9456 
  9457 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9458 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9459 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9460 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9461 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9462 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9463 
  9464 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9465 von Oheimb;
  9466 
  9467 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9468 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9469 
  9470 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9471 
  9472 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9473 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9474 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9475 
  9476 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9477 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9478 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9479 
  9480 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9481 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9482 
  9483 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9484 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9485 
  9486 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9487    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9488    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9489   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9490     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9491   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9492     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9493 
  9494 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9495 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9496 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9497 
  9498 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9499 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9500 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9501 
  9502 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9503 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9504 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9505 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9506 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9507 
  9508 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9509 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9510 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9511 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9512 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9513 each equation;
  9514 
  9515 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9516 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9517 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9518 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9519 
  9520 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9521 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9522 
  9523 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9524 
  9525 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9526 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9527 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9528 
  9529 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9530 
  9531 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9532 main HOL, but was unused);
  9533 
  9534 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9535 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9536 
  9537 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9538 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9539 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9540 bogus);
  9541 
  9542 
  9543 *** ZF ***
  9544 
  9545 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9546 expressions over nat and int;
  9547 
  9548 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9549 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9550 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9551 
  9552 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9553 using the function intify;
  9554 
  9555 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9556 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9557 
  9558 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9559 simplification;
  9560 
  9561 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9562 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9563 
  9564 
  9565 *** General ***
  9566 
  9567 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9568 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9569 
  9570 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9571 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9572 
  9573 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9574 explicit make_elim);
  9575 
  9576 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9577   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9578 use instead the strong form,
  9579   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9580 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9581 from destruct-rules;
  9582 
  9583 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9584 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9585 
  9586 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9587 
  9588 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9589 for hiding of names;
  9590 
  9591 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9592 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9593 situations;
  9594 
  9595 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9596 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9597 Poly/ML);
  9598 
  9599 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9600 useful for remote X11);
  9601 
  9602 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9603 
  9604 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9605 order;
  9606 
  9607 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9608 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9609 
  9610 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9611 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9612 
  9613 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9614 overloading (usually false);
  9615 
  9616 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9617 results;
  9618 
  9619 
  9620 
  9621 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9622 --------------------------------
  9623 
  9624 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9625 
  9626 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9627 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9628 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9629 
  9630     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9631 
  9632 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9633 complement;
  9634 
  9635 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9636 
  9637 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9638   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9639 
  9640 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9641 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9642 
  9643 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9644 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9645 
  9646 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9647 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9648 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9649 
  9650 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9651 
  9652 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9653         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9654 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9655 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9656         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9657 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9658 
  9659 
  9660 *** Proof tools ***
  9661 
  9662 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9663 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9664 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9665 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9666 
  9667 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9668      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9669   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9670   matching.
  9671 
  9672 
  9673 *** General ***
  9674 
  9675 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9676 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9677 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9678 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9679 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9680 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9681 
  9682 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9683 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9684 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9685 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9686 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9687 
  9688 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9689 Isabelle/Isar;
  9690 
  9691 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9692 using the graph browser tool;
  9693 
  9694 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9695 
  9696 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9697 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9698 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9699 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9700 isatool doc ref);
  9701 
  9702 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9703 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9704 
  9705 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9706 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9707 
  9708 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9709 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9710 Isabelle;
  9711 
  9712 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9713 
  9714 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9715 empty;
  9716 
  9717 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9718 long arrows);
  9719 
  9720 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9721 
  9722 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9723 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9724 
  9725 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9726 mode and goal output format:
  9727 
  9728 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9729 244c244
  9730 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9731 ---
  9732 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9733 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9734 181c181
  9735 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9736 ---
  9737 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9738 
  9739 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9740 
  9741 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9742 
  9743 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9744 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9745 result still apply;
  9746 
  9747 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9748 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9749 
  9750 
  9751 *** HOL ***
  9752 
  9753 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9754 
  9755 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9756 int:
  9757 
  9758 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9759 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9760 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9761 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9762 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9763 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9764 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9765 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9766 
  9767 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9768 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9769 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9770 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9771 simplifier.
  9772 
  9773 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9774 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9775 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9776 
  9777 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9778 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9779 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9780 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9781 type constraints;
  9782 
  9783 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9784 arguments;
  9785 
  9786 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9787 are now available;
  9788 
  9789 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9790 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9791 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9792 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9793 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9794   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9795 
  9796 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9797 
  9798 
  9799 ** HOL misc **
  9800 
  9801 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9802 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9803 
  9804 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9805 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9806 
  9807 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9808 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9809 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9810 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9811 
  9812 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9813   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9814   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9815   "mono" attribute);
  9816 
  9817 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9818   (using function types) such as
  9819 
  9820   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9821 
  9822 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9823 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9824 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9825 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9826 
  9827   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9828   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9829 
  9830 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9831 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9832 
  9833 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9834 names rather than an ML expression;
  9835 
  9836 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9837 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9838     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9839 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9840 
  9841 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9842 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9843 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9844 
  9845 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9846 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9847 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9848 
  9849 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9850 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9851 
  9852 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9853 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9854 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9855 
  9856 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9857 
  9858 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9859 thus available for user theories;
  9860 
  9861 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9862 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9863 time;
  9864 
  9865 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9866 several times and then mp;
  9867 
  9868 
  9869 *** LK ***
  9870 
  9871 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9872 formulas;
  9873 
  9874 * the simplifier is now installed
  9875 
  9876 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9877 
  9878 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9879 
  9880 
  9881 *** ZF ***
  9882 
  9883 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9884 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9885 
  9886 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9887 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9888 
  9889 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9890 
  9891 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9892 constructors;
  9893 
  9894 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9895 type-checking rules;
  9896 
  9897 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9898 to the claset;
  9899 
  9900 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9901 if(P,x,y);
  9902 
  9903 
  9904 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9905 
  9906 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9907 
  9908 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9909 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9910 
  9911 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9912 
  9913 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9914 printing empty lines;
  9915 
  9916 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9917 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9918 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9919 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9920 
  9921 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9922 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9923 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9924 
  9925 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9926 now of type real instead of int;
  9927 
  9928 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9929 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9930 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9931 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9932 
  9933 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9934 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9935 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9936 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9937 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9938 
  9939 
  9940 
  9941 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9942 ----------------------------------
  9943 
  9944 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9945 
  9946 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9947 
  9948 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9949 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9950 
  9951 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9952 called `inj_on';
  9953 
  9954 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9955   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9956   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9957 
  9958 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9959 required);
  9960 
  9961 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9962 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9963 now taken as an integer constant.
  9964 
  9965 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9966 
  9967 
  9968 *** Proof tools ***
  9969 
  9970 * Simplifier:
  9971   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9972      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9973         simplify.
  9974      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9975         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9976      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9977      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9978   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9979 
  9980 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9981 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9982 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9983 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9984 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9985 one (emitting a warning).
  9986   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9987   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9988   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9989   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9990   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9991 
  9992 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9993 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9994 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9995 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9996 by Force_tac;
  9997 
  9998 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9999 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10000 
 10001 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 10002 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 10003 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 10004 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 10005 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 10006 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 10007 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 10008 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 10009 split_all_tac for record fields.
 10010 
 10011 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 10012 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 10013 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 10014 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 10015 
 10016 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10017 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10018 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10019 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10020 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10021 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10022 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10023 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10024 t is the name of the datatype).
 10025 
 10026 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10027 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10028 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10029 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10030 
 10031 
 10032 *** General ***
 10033 
 10034 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 10035 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 10036 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 10037 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 10038 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 10039 (backup your sources first!);
 10040 
 10041 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 10042 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 10043 
 10044 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 10045 definitions that have local scope;
 10046 
 10047 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 10048 
 10049 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 10050 (e.g. package initialization);
 10051 
 10052 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 10053 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 10054 
 10055 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 10056 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 10057 
 10058 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 10059 
 10060 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 10061 
 10062 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 10063 
 10064 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 10065 
 10066 
 10067 *** HOL ***
 10068 
 10069 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 10070 
 10071 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 10072 definitions such as
 10073 
 10074   inductive EVEN ODD
 10075     intrs
 10076       null "0 : EVEN"
 10077       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 10078       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 10079 
 10080 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10081 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10082 correctly (also ZF);
 10083 
 10084 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10085 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10086 contained in "induct";
 10087 
 10088 
 10089 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10090 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10091 
 10092   datatype
 10093     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10094             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10095             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10096             | NUM 'a
 10097   and
 10098     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10099             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10100             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10101 
 10102 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10103 
 10104   datatype
 10105     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10106                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10107 
 10108 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10109 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10110 
 10111 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10112 <function_name>.simps.
 10113 
 10114 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10115 
 10116   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10117     ancestor.
 10118   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10119     generic induct_tac instead.
 10120   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10121     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10122     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10123     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10124   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10125     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10126   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10127     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10128     sort constraints.
 10129   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10130     of recursive argument.
 10131 
 10132 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10133 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10134 
 10135 
 10136 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10137 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10138 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10139 support is as follows:
 10140 
 10141   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10142 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10143 
 10144   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10145 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10146 
 10147   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10148 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10149 
 10150 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10151 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10152 the name of your record type.
 10153 
 10154 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10155 
 10156   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10157 
 10158 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10159 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10160 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10161 solve record problems automatically.
 10162 
 10163 
 10164 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10165 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10166 
 10167 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10168 
 10169 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10170 
 10171 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10172 
 10173 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10174 
 10175 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10176 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10177 with add/delsplits);
 10178 
 10179 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10180 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10181 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10182 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10183 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10184 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10185 %u.f();
 10186 
 10187 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10188 makes more sense);
 10189 
 10190 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10191   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10192   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10193 
 10194 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10195 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10196 literature);
 10197 
 10198 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10199 the well-founded relation;
 10200 
 10201 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10202     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10203     release ONLY.
 10204 
 10205 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10206     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10207 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10208 
 10209 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10210 
 10211 * HOL/List:
 10212   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10213     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10214   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10215     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10216     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10217   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10218 
 10219 * HOL/Arith:
 10220   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10221   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10222   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10223   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10224 
 10225 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10226 instead of "inverse";
 10227 
 10228 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10229   of the multiset ordering;
 10230 
 10231 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10232   (not included by default);
 10233 
 10234 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10235 
 10236 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10237   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10238 
 10239 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10240   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10241   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10242 
 10243 
 10244 *** ZF ***
 10245 
 10246 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10247   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10248 
 10249 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10250   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10251   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10252 
 10253 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10254     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10255   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10256 
 10257 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10258 
 10259 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10260   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10261   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10262 
 10263 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10264     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10265 
 10266 
 10267 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10268 
 10269 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10270 also src/Pure/README;
 10271 
 10272 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10273 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10274 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10275 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10276 
 10277 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10278 are qualified by default;
 10279 
 10280 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10281 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10282 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10283 
 10284 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10285 cterm -> thm;
 10286 
 10287 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10288 subgoal;
 10289 
 10290 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10291 
 10292 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10293 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10294 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10295 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10296 for example;
 10297 
 10298 
 10299 
 10300 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10301 --------------------------------
 10302 
 10303 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10304 
 10305 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10306 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10307 
 10308 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10309 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10310 
 10311 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10312 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10313 
 10314 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10315 
 10316 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10317 
 10318 
 10319 *** General Changes ***
 10320 
 10321 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10322 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10323 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10324 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10325 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10326 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10327 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10328 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10329 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10330 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10331 section;
 10332 
 10333 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10334 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10335 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10336 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10337 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10338 
 10339 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10340 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10341 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10342 
 10343 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10344 conditional equations;
 10345 
 10346 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10347 
 10348 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10349 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10350 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10351 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10352 
 10353 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10354 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10355 
 10356 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10357 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10358 
 10359 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10360 show_types);
 10361 
 10362 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10363 
 10364 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10365 
 10366 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10367 
 10368 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10369 
 10370 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10371 
 10372 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10373     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10374 
 10375 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10376 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10377 
 10378 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10379 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10380 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10381 
 10382 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10383 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10384 
 10385 
 10386 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10387 
 10388 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10389 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10390 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10391 
 10392 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10393 
 10394 
 10395 *** Simplifier ***
 10396 
 10397 * added simplification meta rules:
 10398     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10399 
 10400 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10401 logics (again);
 10402 
 10403 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10404 
 10405 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10406   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10407   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10408 
 10409 
 10410 *** Syntax ***
 10411 
 10412 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10413 
 10414 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10415 
 10416 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10417 
 10418 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10419 
 10420 
 10421 *** HOL ***
 10422 
 10423 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10424   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10425 
 10426 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10427 
 10428 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10429   protocol TLS;
 10430 
 10431 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10432 
 10433 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10434 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10435 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10436 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10437 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10438 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10439 
 10440 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10441   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10442   are rewritten to
 10443   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10444   and those of the form
 10445   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10446   are rewritten to
 10447   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10448 
 10449 * HOL/datatype
 10450   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10451 
 10452   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10453      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10454         ...
 10455        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10456      )
 10457 
 10458   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10459 
 10460   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10461     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10462         ...
 10463        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10464      )
 10465   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10466   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10467   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10468 
 10469 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10470   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10471     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10472     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10473   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10474     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10475     `standard'.
 10476 
 10477 * HOL/Lists:
 10478   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10479   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10480   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10481 
 10482 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10483 
 10484 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10485   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10486 
 10487 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10488 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10489 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10490 
 10491 
 10492 *** HOLCF ***
 10493 
 10494 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10495 
 10496 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10497   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10498 
 10499 * domain package:
 10500   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10501   . creates hierachical name space,
 10502   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10503   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10504   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10505   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10506   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10507     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10508 
 10509 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10510 
 10511 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10512 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10513 
 10514 
 10515 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10516 
 10517 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10518   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10519 
 10520 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10521 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10522 
 10523 
 10524 
 10525 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10526 ------------------------------
 10527 
 10528 *** General Changes ***
 10529 
 10530 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10531 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10532 
 10533 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10534 
 10535 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10536 
 10537 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10538 messages and clean internal interface;
 10539 
 10540 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10541 setting goals_limit);
 10542 
 10543 
 10544 *** Syntax ***
 10545 
 10546 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10547 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10548 
 10549 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10550 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10551 "symbols" syntax table;
 10552 
 10553 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10554 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10555 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10556 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10557 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10558 
 10559 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10560 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10561 version of xterm);
 10562 
 10563 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10564 
 10565 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10566 access type of constant);
 10567 
 10568 
 10569 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10570 
 10571 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10572 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10573   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10574   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10575         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10576   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10577   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10578     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10579   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10580 
 10581 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10582 assumptions;
 10583 
 10584 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10585 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10586 (and access functions for it);
 10587 
 10588 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10589   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10590   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10591     safe steps.
 10592   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10593     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10594     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10595 
 10596 *** Simplifier ***
 10597 
 10598 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10599 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10600 redex);
 10601 
 10602 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10603 
 10604 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10605 
 10606 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10607 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10608 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10609 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10610 
 10611 
 10612 *** HOL ***
 10613 
 10614 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10615 also for type `nat';
 10616 
 10617 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10618 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10619 
 10620 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10621 
 10622 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10623 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10624 
 10625 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10626 
 10627 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10628 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10629 
 10630 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10631 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10632 
 10633 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10634 infinite lists;
 10635 
 10636 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10637 
 10638 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10639 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10640 
 10641 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10642 
 10643 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10644 
 10645 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10646 
 10647 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10648 
 10649 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10650   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10651   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10652   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10653   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10654   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10655   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10656   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10657   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10658 
 10659 
 10660 *** ZF ***
 10661 
 10662 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10663 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10664 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10665 
 10666 
 10667 
 10668 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10669 ---------------------------------
 10670 
 10671 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10672 
 10673 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10674 
 10675 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10676 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10677 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10678 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10679 
 10680 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10681 
 10682 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10683 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10684 
 10685 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10686 
 10687 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10688 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10689 
 10690 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10691 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10692 
 10693 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10694 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10695 
 10696 
 10697 
 10698 New in Isabelle94-6
 10699 -------------------
 10700 
 10701 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10702 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10703 
 10704 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10705 
 10706 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10707 
 10708 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10709 
 10710 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10711 
 10712 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10713 
 10714 
 10715 
 10716 New in Isabelle94-5
 10717 -------------------
 10718 
 10719 * reduced space requirements;
 10720 
 10721 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10722 
 10723 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10724 
 10725 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10726 
 10727 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10728 
 10729 
 10730 
 10731 New in Isabelle94-4
 10732 -------------------
 10733 
 10734 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10735 
 10736 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10737 
 10738 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10739 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10740 
 10741 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10742 Axiom of Choice;
 10743 
 10744 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10745 
 10746 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10747 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10748 
 10749 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10750 
 10751 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10752 translates to the operator "split";
 10753 
 10754 
 10755 
 10756 New in Isabelle94-3
 10757 -------------------
 10758 
 10759 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10760 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10761         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10762 
 10763 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10764 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10765 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10766 
 10767 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10768 
 10769 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10770 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10771 
 10772 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10773 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10774 
 10775 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10776 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10777 
 10778 
 10779 
 10780 New in Isabelle94-2
 10781 -------------------
 10782 
 10783 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10784 
 10785 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10786 freely;
 10787 
 10788 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10789 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10790 
 10791 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10792 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10793 (theory_of_thm);
 10794 
 10795 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10796 
 10797 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10798 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10799 
 10800 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10801 have been removed;
 10802 
 10803 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10804 
 10805 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10806 
 10807 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10808 types;
