     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    10 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    11 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    12 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    13 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    14 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    15 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    16 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    17 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    18 syntax.
    19 
    20 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    21 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    24 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    25 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    26 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    27 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    28 
    29 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    30 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    31 
    32 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
    33 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
    34 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation, with its
    35 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs, has been discontinued.
    36 The default chapter is "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for HTML
    37 presentation of theories.
    38 
    39 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    40 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    41 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    44 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    45 
    46 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    47 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    48 
    49 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    50 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    51 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    52 
    53 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    54 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    55 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    56 
    57 
    58 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    59 
    60 * Improved "Theories" panel: Continuous checking of proof document
    61 (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly, using check
    62 box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may be marked
    63 explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box or
    64 shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    65 
    66 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancelation of
    67 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    68 such command executions while editing.
    69 
    70 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    71 document content.
    72 
    73 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    74 toplevel theorem statements.
    75 
    76 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    77 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    78 
    79 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    80 documentation.
    81 
    82 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    83 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    84 normal editing and checking process.
    85 
    86 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    87 timing information.
    88 
    89 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
    90 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
    91 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
    92 
    93 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
    94 / Global Options / Appearance".
    95 
    96 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
    97 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.
    98 
    99   - Various Isabelle plugin options to control popup behaviour and
   100     immediate insertion into buffer.
   101 
   102   - Light-weight popup, which avoids explicit window (more reactive
   103     and more robust).  Interpreted key events include TAB, ESCAPE, UP,
   104     DOWN, PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN.  All other key events are passed to
   105     the jEdit text area.
   106 
   107   - Explicit completion via standard jEdit shortcut C+b, which has
   108     been remapped to action "isabelle.complete" (fall-back on regular
   109     "complete-word" for non-Isabelle buffers).
   110 
   111   - Implicit completion via keyboard input on text area, with popup or
   112     immediate insertion into buffer.
   113 
   114   - Implicit completion of plain words requires at least 3 characters
   115     (was 2 before).
   116 
   117   - Immediate completion ignores plain words; it requires > 1
   118     characters of symbol abbreviation to complete, otherwise fall-back
   119     on completion popup.
   120 
   121   - Isabelle Symbols are only completed in backslashed forms,
   122     e.g. \forall or \<forall> that both produce the Isabelle symbol
   123     \<forall> in its Unicode rendering.
   124 
   125   - Refined table of Isabelle symbol abbreviations (see
   126     $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   127 
   128 
   129 *** Pure ***
   130 
   131 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   132 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   133 
   134 * Type theory is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   135 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   136 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   137 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   138 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   139 
   140 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   141 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   142 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   143 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   144 
   145 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   146 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   147 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   148 
   149 * Target-sensitive commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale'.
   150 Particulary, 'interpretation' now allows for non-persistent
   151 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks.  See
   152 "isar-ref" manual for details.
   153 
   154 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   155 
   156 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   157 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   158 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   159 
   160 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   161 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   162 
   163 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   164 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   165 situations.
   166 
   167 
   168 *** HOL ***
   169 
   170 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   171 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   172 
   173 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   174 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   175 to distinguish both when desired.
   176 
   177 * Code generator:
   178   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   179     'code_instance'.
   180   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   181     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   182   See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories
   183   for examples.
   184 
   185 * HOL/BNF:
   186   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including a
   187     "primrec_new" command, a "datatype_new_compat" command, and
   188     documentation. See "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   189   - Renamed keywords:
   190     data ~> datatype_new
   191     codata ~> codatatype
   192     bnf_def ~> bnf
   193   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   194     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   195     map_id' ~> map_id
   196     set_map' ~> set_map
   197 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   198 
   199 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   200 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   201 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   202 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   203 
   204 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   205 automatically generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x =
   206 t".
   207 
   208 * New command "fun_cases" derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   209 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   210 inductive_cases.  See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   211 
   212 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   213   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   214   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   215     generated code.
   216   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   217   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   218   - Fact renames:
   219     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   220     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   221     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   222 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   223 
   224 * Reification and reflection:
   225   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   226     "Reification".
   227   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   228   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   229 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   230 
   231 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on sets,
   232 in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   233 
   234 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   235 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   236 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   237 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   238 
   239   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   240 
   241 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   242 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   243 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   244 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   245 
   246 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   247 
   248 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   249   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   250     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   251     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   252   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   253     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   254   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   255     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   256     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   257     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   258     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   259     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   260     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   261     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly. 
   262   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   263     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   264   - Fact renames:
   265       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   266       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   268 
   269 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   270 
   271 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   272 
   273 * Discontinued obsolete src/HOL/IsaMakefile (considered legacy since
   274 Isabelle2013).  Use "isabelle build" to operate on Isabelle sessions.
   275 
   276 * Numeric types mapped by default to target language numerals: natural
   277 (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former code_int).
   278 Conversions are available as integer_of_natural / natural_of_integer /
   279 integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   280 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   281 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   282 
   283 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   284 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   285 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   286 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   287 
   288 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   289 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   290 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   291 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   292 
   293 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   294 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   295 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   296 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   297 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   298 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   299 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   300 lemmas.
   301 
   302 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   303 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   304 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   305 
   306 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top 
   307 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions. 
   308 INCOMPATIBILITY: Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   309 
   310 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   311 top and bottom elements.
   312 
   313 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   314 
   315 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   316 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   317 
   318  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and linear_continuum_topology.
   319    Allows to generalize theorems about limits and order.
   320    Instances are reals and extended reals.
   321 
   322  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   323    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.
   324    "isCont" is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   325 
   326    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an arbitrary
   327    filter.
   328 
   329  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma
   330    to prove compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   331    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a continuous
   332    function is continuous, when the function is continuous on a compact set.
   333 
   334  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   335    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   336    linear_continuum_topology).
   337 
   338  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   339    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and on
   340    all sequences converging to x.
   341 
   342  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved theorems
   343    from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the definition of DERIV on
   344    FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV which are restricted to sets,
   345    i.e. to represent derivatives from left or right.
   346 
   347  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   348 
   349      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   350 
   351  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   352    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   353 
   354  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros, continuous_intros,
   355    continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems in tendsto_intros (or
   356    FDERIV_intros) are also available as tendsto_eq_intros (or
   357    FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side is replaced by a congruence
   358    rule. This allows to apply them as intro rules and then proving
   359    equivalence by the simplifier.
   360 
   361  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   362 
   363    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   364 
   365    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   366      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   367 
   368    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   369 
   370    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces, Real_Vector_Spaces, and
   371      Limits
   372 
   373    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   374 
   375    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   376 
   377  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   378 
   379 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   380 
   381 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   382 
   383     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   384     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   385 
   386 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   387 
   388 * Sledgehammer:
   389 
   390   - Renamed option:
   391       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   392 
   393 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   394 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   395 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   396 
   397 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   398 .../poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   399 src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides integration
   400 with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   401 
   402 
   403 *** ML ***
   404 
   405 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   406 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   407 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   408 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   409 
   410 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   411 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   412 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   413 Examples.thy in particular.
   414 
   415 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   416 
   417     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   418     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   419 
   420 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   421 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   422 
   423 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   424 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   425 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   426 clasets separately from the context.
   427 
   428 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   429 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   430 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   431 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   432 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   433 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   434 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   435 
   436 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   437 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   438 
   439 
   440 *** System ***
   441 
   442 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   443 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   444 
   445 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   446 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   447 
   448 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   449 settings variable.
   450 
   451 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   452 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   453 always pdf.
   454 
   455 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   456 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   457 
   458 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   459 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   460 
   461 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   462 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   463 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   464 
   465 
   466 
   467 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   468 -----------------------------------
   469 
   470 *** General ***
   471 
   472 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   473 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   474 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   475 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   476 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   477 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   478 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   479 
   480 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   481 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   482 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   483 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   484 
   485 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   486 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   487 
   488 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   489 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   490 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   491 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   492 dependencies properly.
   493 
   494 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   495 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   496 
   497 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   498 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   499 
   500 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   501 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   502 and "class ... context ...".
   503 
   504 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   505 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   506 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   507 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   508 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   509 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   510 
   511 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   512 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   513 
   514 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   515 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   516 
   517 
   518 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   519 
   520 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   521 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   522 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   523 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   524 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   525 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   526 
   527 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   528 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   529 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   530 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   531 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   532 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   533 
   534 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   535 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   536 browser on demand.
   537 
   538 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   539 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   540 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   541 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   542 
   543 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   544 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   545 
   546 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   547 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   548 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   549 potentially infinite message streams.
   550 
   551 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   552 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   553 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   554 schemes.
   555 
   556 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   557 symbols.
   558 
   559 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   560 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   561 
   562 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   563 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   564 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   565 
   566 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   567 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   568 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   569 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   570 
   571 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   572 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   573 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   574 
   575 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   576 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   577 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   578 Isabelle distribution.
   579 
   580 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   581 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   582 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   583 
   584 
   585 *** Pure ***
   586 
   587 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   588 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   589 
   590 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   591 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   592 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   593 
   594 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   595 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   596 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   597 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   598 with some care where this is really required.
   599 
   600 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   601 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   602 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   603 
   604   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   605 
   606 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   607 a Hasse diagram.
   608 
   609 
   610 *** HOL ***
   611 
   612 * Sledgehammer:
   613 
   614   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   615     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   616   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   617   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   618   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   619   - Renamed options:
   620       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   621       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   622       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   623       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   624 
   625 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   626 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   627 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   628 
   629 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   630 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   631 
   632 * Lifting:
   633   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   634   - quot_del attribute
   635   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   636 
   637 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   638 expressions.
   639 
   640 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   641 pointfree expressions.
   642 
   643 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   644 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   645 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   646 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   647 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   648 
   649 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   650 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   651 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   652 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   653 accordingly.
   654 
   655 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   656 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   657 
   658 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   659 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   660 
   661 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   662 
   663 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   664 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   665 
   666 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   667 
   668 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   669 
   670   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   671   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   672 
   673 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   674 
   675 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   676 
   677   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   678   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   679 
   680 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   681 
   682 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   683 
   684   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   685     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   686     output f x converges to G.
   687 
   688   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   689     infinity (at_bot).
   690 
   691   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   692     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   693 
   694   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   695     at_top".
   696 
   697 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   698 
   699 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   700 lattice type classes.
   701 
   702 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   703 
   704     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   705     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   706 
   707 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   708 
   709 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   710 changes as follows.
   711 
   712   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   713 
   714       prefix ~> prefixeq
   715       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   716 
   717   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   718     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   719     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   720     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   721 
   722   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   723     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   724     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   725 
   726   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   727     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   728     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   729     Library/Prefix_Order.
   730 
   731   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   732     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   733 
   734       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   735       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   736       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   737       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   738       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   739       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   740       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   741       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   742       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   743       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   744       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   745       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   746       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   747       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   748       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   749       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   750 
   751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   752 
   753 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   754 
   755 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   756 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   757 
   758 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   759 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   760 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   761 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   762 
   763   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   764   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   765   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   766   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   767   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   768   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   769   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   770   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   771   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   772   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   773 
   774 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   775 
   776 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   777 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   778 Data").
   779 
   780 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   781 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   782 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   783 code.
   784 
   785 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   786 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   787 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   788 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   789 
   790 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   791 
   792 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   793 
   794 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   795 
   796   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   797   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   798 
   799 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   800 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   801 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   802 
   803   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   804 
   805     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   806     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   807     cart_base i  removed
   808     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   809 
   810   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   811 
   812   Renamed lemmas:
   813 
   814     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   815     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   816     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   817     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   818     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   819     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   820     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   821     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   822     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   823     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   824 
   825 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   826 
   827 * HOL/Probability:
   828 
   829   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   830 
   831   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   832     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   833     (borel_measurable_induct).
   834 
   835   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   836     projective family).
   837 
   838 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   839 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   840 
   841 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   842 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   843 datatypes.
   844 
   845 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   846 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   847 
   848 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   849 trees for the code generator.
   850 
   851 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   852 Lifting/Transfer.
   853 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   854 
   855 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   856 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   857 
   858 
   859 *** Document preparation ***
   860 
   861 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   862 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   863 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   864 
   865 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   866 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   867 
   868 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   869 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   870 document/root.tex.
   871 
   872 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   873 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   874 
   875 
   876 *** ML ***
   877 
   878 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   879 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   880 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   881 
   882 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   883 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   884 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   885 
   886 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   887 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   888 necessarily printing visible text.
   889 
   890 
   891 *** System ***
   892 
   893 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   894 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   895 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   896 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   897 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   898 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   899 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   900 
   901 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   902 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   903 
   904   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   905 
   906 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   907 
   908 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   909 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   910 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   911 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   912 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   913 
   914 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   915 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   916 
   917 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   918 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   919 
   920 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   921 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   922 
   923 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   924 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   925 version of Isabelle.
   926 
   927 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   928 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   929 
   930 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   931 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   932 for home-made settings.
   933 
   934 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   935 
   936 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   937 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   938 configuration.
   939 
   940 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   941 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   942 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   943 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   944 bundled as Isabelle component.
   945 
   946 
   947 
   948 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   949 ------------------------------
   950 
   951 *** General ***
   952 
   953 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   954 
   955   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   956     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   957   - markup for bound variables
   958   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   959   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   960   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   961     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   962 
   963 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   964 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   965 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   966 
   967 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   968 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   969 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   970 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   971 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   972 
   973   context
   974     fixes x y z :: 'a
   975     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   976   begin
   977 
   978   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   979 
   980   end
   981 
   982   thm my_trans
   983 
   984 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   985 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   986 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   987 
   988 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   989 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   990 
   991 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   992 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   993 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   994 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   995 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   996 
   997 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   998 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   999 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1000 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1001 indices of schematic variables.
  1002 
  1003 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1004 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1005 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1006 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1007 etc. was exploited.
  1008 
  1009 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1010 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1011 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1012 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1013 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1014 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1015 
  1016 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1017 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1018 manual.
  1019 
  1020 
  1021 *** Pure ***
  1022 
  1023 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1024 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1025 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1026 
  1027 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1028 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1029 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1030 undocumented feature.)
  1031 
  1032 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1033 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1034 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1035 
  1036   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1037 
  1038   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1039     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1040 
  1041 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1042 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1043 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1044 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1045 
  1046 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1047 
  1048     num ~> num_token
  1049     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1050     xstr ~> str_token
  1051 
  1052 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1053 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1054 position information via constraints).
  1055 
  1056 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1057 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1058 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1059 
  1060 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1061 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1062 
  1063 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1064 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1065 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1066 
  1067 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1068 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1069 
  1070 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1071 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1072 
  1073   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1074 
  1075 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1076 
  1077 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1078 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1079 
  1080 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1081 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1082 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1083 
  1084 
  1085 *** HOL ***
  1086 
  1087 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1088 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1089 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1090 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1091 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1092 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1093 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1094 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1095 possible.
  1096 
  1097 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1098 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1099 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1100 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1101 
  1102 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1103 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1104 
  1105 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1106 
  1107 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1108 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1109 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1110 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1111 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1112 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1113 
  1114   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1115     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1116 
  1117   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1118     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1119     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1120 
  1121   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1122     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1123 
  1124   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1125     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1126     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1127 
  1128   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1129     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1130 
  1131 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1132 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1133 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1134 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1135 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1136 
  1137   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1138     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1139     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1140     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1141     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1142 
  1143     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1144     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1145 
  1146   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1147     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1148     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1149     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1150     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1151     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1152     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1153     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1154 
  1155   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1156     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1157     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1158     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1159 
  1160   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1161     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1162     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1163     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1164 
  1165   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1166     from type nat to type int.
  1167 
  1168 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1169 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1170 
  1171   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1172     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1173     type.  Example syntax:
  1174 
  1175     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1176       is List.insert
  1177 
  1178     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1179     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1180     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1181     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1182     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1183     by the package.
  1184 
  1185   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1186     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1187     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1188     code generation for each constant.
  1189 
  1190   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1191     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1192     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1193     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1194     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1195 
  1196   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1197     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1198     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1199 
  1200 * Quotient package:
  1201 
  1202   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1203     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1204 
  1205   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1206     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1207 
  1208   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1209     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1210     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1211 
  1212   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1213     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1214 
  1215 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1216 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1217 
  1218 * Quickcheck:
  1219 
  1220   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1221     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1222     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1223     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1224     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1225 
  1226     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1227     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1228     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1229 
  1230     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1231     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1232 
  1233     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1234     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1235     show genuine counterexamples.
  1236 
  1237   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1238     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1239 
  1240     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1241     constructors of that type.
  1242 
  1243   - Support for multisets.
  1244 
  1245   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1246 
  1247   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1248     conjectures in a locale context.
  1249 
  1250 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1251 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1252 
  1253 * Sledgehammer:
  1254   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1255     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1256   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1257   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1258     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1259   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1260   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1261   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1262   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1263 
  1264 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1265 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1266 
  1267 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1268 
  1269 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1270 
  1271 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1272 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1273 
  1274   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1275 
  1276 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1277 a list and a nat.
  1278 
  1279 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1280 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1281 
  1282 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1283 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1284 default.
  1285 
  1286 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1287 
  1288   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1289 
  1290 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1291 
  1292 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1293 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1294 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1295 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1296 one_case.
  1297 
  1298 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1299 the result of the fact expression.
  1300 
  1301 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1302 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1303 of some relation theorems:
  1304 
  1305   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1306   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1307   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1308   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1309   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1310   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1311 
  1312 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1313 
  1314 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1315 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1316 
  1317 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1318 
  1319 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1320 to match the constant's name:
  1321 
  1322   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1323   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  1324   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  1325   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  1326   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  1327   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  1328   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  1329   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  1330   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  1331   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  1332   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  1333   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  1334   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  1335   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  1336   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  1337   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  1338   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  1339   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  1340   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  1341   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1

  1754 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1755 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1756 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1757 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1758 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1759 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1760 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1761 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1762 
  1763 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1764 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1765 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1766 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1767 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1768 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1769 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1770 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1771 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1772 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1773 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1774 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1775 
  1776   Renamed constants:

  1799   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1800   image_space
  1801   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1935 
  1936 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1937 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1938 
  1939 
  1940 *** FOL ***
  1941 
  1942 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1943 
  1944 
  1945 *** ZF ***
  1946 
  1947 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1948 analysis.
  1949 
  1950 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1951 
  1952 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1953 
  1954 
  1955 *** ML ***
  1956 
  1957 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1958 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1959 
  1960 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1961 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1962 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1963 
  1964 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1965 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1966 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1967 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1968 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1969 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1970 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1971 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1972 
  1973 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1974 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1975 
  1976 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1977 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1978 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1979 
  1980 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1981 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1982 
  1983 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1984 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1985 context as well.
  1986 
  1987 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1988 
  1989   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1990   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1991   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  1992   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  1993   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  1994   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  1995   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  1996   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  1997   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1998   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1999   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  2000   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  2001 
  2002 
  2003 *** System ***
  2004 
  2005 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2006 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2007 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2008 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2009 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2010 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2011 the generic user home was intended.
  2012 
  2013 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2014 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2015 
  2016 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2017 (not just JRE).
  2018 
  2019 
  2020 
  2021 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2022 ------------------------------------
  2023 
  2024 *** General ***
  2025 
  2026 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2027 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2028 
  2029   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2030     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2031     files for checking).
  2032 
  2033   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2034     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2035     positions.
  2036 
  2037   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2038     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2039     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2040 
  2041   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2042     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2043     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2044 
  2045   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2046     cores.
  2047 
  2048   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2049     versions (garbage collection).
  2050 
  2051 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2052 including some remaining limitations.
  2053 
  2054 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2055 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2056 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2057 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2058 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2059 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2060 
  2061 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2062 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2063 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2064 
  2065 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2066 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2067 usedir option -Q.
  2068 
  2069 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2070 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2071 
  2072   long_names   ~> names_long
  2073   short_names  ~> names_short
  2074   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2075 
  2076 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2077 
  2078   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2079 
  2080 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2081 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2082 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2083 
  2084 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2085 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2086 
  2087 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2088   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.

  2095 
  2096 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2097 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2098 
  2099 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2100 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2101 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2102 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2103 class complete_linorder.
  2104 
  2105 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2106 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2107 
  2108 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2109 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2110 
  2111   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2112   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]

  2121   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2122 
  2123 More consistent and comprehensive names:

  2141 
  2142 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2143 
  2144 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2145 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2146 
  2147 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2148 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2149 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2150 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2151 
  2152 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2153 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2154 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2155 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2156 
  2157 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2158 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2159 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2160 
  2161 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2162 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2163 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2164 
  2165 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2166 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2167 
  2168 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2169 
  2170     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2171     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2172 
  2173 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2174 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2175 
  2176 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2177 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2178 
  2179 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2180 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2181 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2182 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2278 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2279 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2280 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2281 
  2282 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2283 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2284 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2285 
  2286 * Code generation:
  2287 
  2288   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2289     characters in the target language.
  2290 
  2291   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2292     instead.
  2293 
  2294   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2295 
  2296   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2297     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2298 
  2299       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2300 
  2301 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2302 
  2303 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2304 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2305 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2306 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2307 syntax.
  2308 
  2309 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2310 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2311 
  2312 * Nitpick:
  2313   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2314   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2315   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2316     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2317 
  2318 * Sledgehammer:
  2319   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2320   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2321     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2322   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2323     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2324   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2325     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2326   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2327     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2328   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2329     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2330 
  2331 * Metis:
  2332   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2333   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2334     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2335 
  2336 * Command 'try':
  2337   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2338     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2339   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2340     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2341 
  2342 * Quickcheck:
  2343   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2344     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2345   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2346     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2347   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2348     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2349     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2350     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2351   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2352     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2353 
  2354 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2355 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2356 
  2357 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2358 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2359 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2360 
  2361 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2362 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2363 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2364 
  2365 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2366 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2367 
  2368 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2369 arithmetic.
  2370 
  2371 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2372 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2373 and lattice type classes.
  2374 
  2375 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2376 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2377 
  2378 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2379 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2380 
  2381 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2382 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2383 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2384 
  2385   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2386   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2387   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2388   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2389 
  2390 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2391 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2392 constants:
  2393 
  2394   type inat   ~> type enat
  2395   Fin         ~> enat
  2396   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2397   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2398   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2399 
  2400 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2401 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2402 
  2403 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2404 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2405 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2406 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2407 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2408 
  2409 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2410 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2411 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2412 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2413 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2414 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2415 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2416 
  2417   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2418   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2419   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2420   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2421 
  2422 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2423 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2424 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2478 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2479   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2480   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2481   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2482   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2483     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2484

  2514 *** Document preparation ***
  2515 
  2516 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2517 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2518 same.
  2519 
  2520 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2521 result.
  2522 
  2523 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2524 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2525 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2526 
  2527 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2528 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2529 
  2530 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2531 like this:
  2532 
  2533   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2534   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2535 
  2536 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2537 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2538 layouts.
  2539 
  2540 
  2541 *** ML ***
  2542 
  2543 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2544 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2545 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2546 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2547 under external program control.
  2548 
  2549 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2550 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2551 
  2552 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2553 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2554 (better known as Proof General).
  2555 
  2556 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2557 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2558 
  2559 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2560 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2561 
  2562 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2563 (including quotes etc.).
  2564 
  2565 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2566 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2567 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2568 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2569 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2570 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2571 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2572 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2573 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2574 
  2575 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2576 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2577 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2578 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2579 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2580 
  2581 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2582 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2583 
  2584 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2585 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2586 
  2587 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2588 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2589 
  2590 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2591 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2592 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2593 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2594 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2595 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2596 proper Proof.context.
  2597 
  2598 
  2599 *** System ***
  2600 
  2601 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2602 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2603 
  2604 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2605 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2606 
  2607 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2608 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2609 
  2610   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2611   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2612   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2613   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2614   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2615 
  2616 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2617 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2618 
  2619 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2620 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2621 example:
  2622 
  2623   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2624 
  2625 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2626 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2627 
  2628 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2629 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2630 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2631 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2632 
  2633 
  2634 
  2635 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2636 ----------------------------------
  2637 
  2638 *** General ***
  2639 
  2640 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2641 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2642 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2643 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2644 like this:
  2645 
  2646   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2647 
  2648 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2649 
  2650 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2651 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2652 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2653 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2654 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2655 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2656 
  2657 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2658 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2659 the following package declarations:
  2660 
  2661   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2662   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2663 
  2664 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2665 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2666 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2667 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2668 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2669 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2670 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2671 
  2672 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2673 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2674 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2675 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2676 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2677 
  2678 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2679 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2680 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2681 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2682 
  2683 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2684 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2685 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2686 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2687 
  2688   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2711   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2712 
  2713 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2714 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2715 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2716 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2717 
  2718 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2719 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2720 
  2721   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2722   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2723 
  2724 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2725 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2726 float_token.
  2727 
  2728 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2729 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2730 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2731 
  2732 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2733 DejaVu Sans.
  2734 
  2735 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2736 
  2737 
  2738 *** Pure ***
  2739 
  2740 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2741 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2742 time.
  2743 
  2744 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2745 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2746 
  2747 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2748 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2749 
  2750 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2751 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2752 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2753 command already provided this functionality.
  2754 
  2755 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2756 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2757 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2758 without interpretations.
  2759 
  2760 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2761 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2762 
  2763 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2764 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2765 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2766 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2767 
  2768 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2769 'definition' instead.
  2770 
  2771 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2772 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2773 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2774 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2775 
  2776 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2777 constructors.
  2778 
  2779 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2780 the local file system.
  2781 
  2782 
  2783 *** HOL ***
  2784 
  2785 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2786 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2787 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2788 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2789 
  2790   declare [[coercion f]]
  2791 
  2792 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2793 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2794 
  2795   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2796 
  2797 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2798 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2799 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2800 other theories like this:
  2801 
  2802   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2803 
  2804 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2805 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2806 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2807 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2808 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2809 for examples.
  2810 
  2811 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2812 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2813 
  2814 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2815 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2816 
  2817 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2818 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2819 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2820 
  2821 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2822 functorial structure of types.
  2823 
  2824 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2825 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2826 
  2827 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2828 languages.
  2829 
  2830 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2831 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2832 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2833 
  2834 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2835 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2836 
  2837 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2838 combinators any longer.
  2839 
  2840 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2841 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2842 
  2843 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2844 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2845 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2846 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2847 
  2848   record 'a foo = ...
  2849   ...
  2850   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2851 
  2852 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2853 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2854 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2855 
  2856 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2857 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2858 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2859 
  2860 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2861 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2862 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2863 
  2864 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2865 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2866 
  2867 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2868 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2869 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2870 independently.
  2871 
  2872 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2873 counter example search.
  2874 
  2875 * Sledgehammer:
  2876   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2877     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2878     sledgehammer").
  2879   - Renamed commands:
  2880     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2881     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2882     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2883     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2884   - Renamed options:
  2885     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2886     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2887     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2888     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2889     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2890 
  2891 * Nitpick:
  2892   - Renamed options:
  2893     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2894     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2895     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2896   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2897   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2898   - Added "whack" option.
  2899   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2900   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2901   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2902   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2903     higher cardinalities.
  2904   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2905 
  2906 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2907 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2908 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2909 
  2910     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2911 
  2912 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2913 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2914 
  2915 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2916 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2917 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2918 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2919 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2920 "smt_solver".
  2921 
  2922 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2923 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2924 
  2925 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2926 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2927 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2928 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2929 
  2930 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2931   - Renamed:
  2932     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2933     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts

  2946 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2947 header.
  2948 
  2949 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2950 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2951 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2952 
  2953   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2954 
  2955 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2956 
  2957 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2958 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2959 
  2960 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2961 
  2962 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2963 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2964 
  2965 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2966 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2967 
  2968 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2969 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2970 
  2971 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2972 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2973 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2974 
  2975 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2976 
  2977 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2978 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2979 
  2980 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2981 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2982 
  2983 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2984 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2985 for congruent(2)).
  2986 
  2987 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2988 
  2989   types
  2990     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2991     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2992

  3018 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3019 
  3020 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3021 
  3022     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3023     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3024     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3025     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def

  3029     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3030 
  3031 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3032 
  3033 * More stylized fact names:
  3034 
  3035   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3036   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3037   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3038   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3039 
  3040 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3041 
  3042 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3043 
  3044   constants
  3045     null ~> List.null
  3046 
  3047   facts
  3048     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3049     null_empty ~> null_def
  3050 
  3051 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3052 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3053 generation.
  3054 
  3055 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3056 Haskell code.
  3057 
  3058 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3059 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3060 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3061 
  3062 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3063 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3064 
  3065 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3066 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3067 
  3068 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3069 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3070 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3071 
  3072 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3073 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3074 
  3075 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3076 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3077 
  3078 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3079 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3080 referred to by its qualified name.
  3081 
  3082   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3083   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3084   product ~>  Enum.product
  3085 
  3086 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3087 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3088 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3089 
  3090 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3091 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3092 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3093 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3094 
  3095 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3096 sort_key.
  3097 
  3098 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3099 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3100 
  3101 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3102 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3103 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3104 
  3105   types
  3106     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3107               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3108               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3109         (depends on your needs)
  3110 
  3111   constants
  3112      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3113      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3114      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3115 
  3116 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3117 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3118 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3119 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3120 
  3121 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3122 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3123 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3124 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3125 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3126 
  3127 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3128 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3129 
  3130 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3131 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3132 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3133 
  3134 
  3135 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3136 
  3137 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3138 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3139 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3140 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3141 compatibility.
  3142 
  3143 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3144 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3145 
  3146 
  3147 *** HOLCF ***
  3148 
  3149 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3150 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3151 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3152 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3153 
  3154 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3155 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3156 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3157 
  3158   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3159   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3160   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3161 
  3162 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3163 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3164 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3165 
  3166 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3167 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3168 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3169 domain definition now works:
  3170 
  3171   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3172 
  3173 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3174 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3175 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3176 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3177 
  3178   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3179     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3180 
  3181   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3182 
  3183 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3184 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3185 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3186 
  3187 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3188 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3189 
  3190 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3191 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3192 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3193 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3194 
  3195 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3196 
  3197 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3198 
  3199 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3200 
  3201 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3202 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3203 
  3204 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3205 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3206 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3207 
  3208 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3209 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3210 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3211 
  3212 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3213 still supported as an input translation.
  3214 
  3215 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3216 
  3217   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3218   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3219   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3220   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3221   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3222   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3223   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3224 
  3225 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3226 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3227 
  3228   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3229   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3230   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3231   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3232   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3233   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3234 
  3235 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3236 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3237 
  3238 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3239 
  3240   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3241   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3242   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3243   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3244 
  3245 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3246 
  3247 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3248 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3249 
  3250 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3251 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3323 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3324 
  3325 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3326 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3327 
  3328 
  3329 *** ML ***
  3330 
  3331 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3332 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3333 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3334 
  3335 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3336 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3337 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3338 
  3339 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3340 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3341 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3342 
  3343 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3344 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3345 
  3346 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3347 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3348 
  3349 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3350 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3351 
  3352 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3353 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3354 
  3355 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3356 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3357 almost all situations.
  3358 
  3359 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3360 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3361 Isabelle/ML.
  3362 
  3363 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3364 meaning.
  3365 
  3366 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3367 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3368 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3369 
  3370 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3371 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3372 
  3373 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3374 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3375 
  3376 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3377 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3378 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3379 
  3380 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3381 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3382 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3383 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3384 configuration options.
  3385 
  3386 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3387 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3388 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3389 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3390 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3391 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3392 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3395 
  3396 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3397 ---------------------------------
  3398 
  3399 *** General ***
  3400 
  3401 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3402 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3403 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3404 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3405 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3406 their full internal name.
  3407 
  3408 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3409 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3410 Some hints on upgrading:
  3411 
  3412   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3413     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3414     which are independent of this issue.
  3415 
  3416   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3417     provides the following special forms:
  3418 
  3419       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3420       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3421       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3422 
  3423     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3424     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3425     extra variables".
  3426 
  3427     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3428     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3429     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3430     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3431     "logic".
  3432 
  3433   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3434     antiquotations:
  3435 
  3436       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3437       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3438       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3439       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3440 
  3441   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3442     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3443     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3444     antiquotations.
  3445 
  3446 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3447 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3448 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3449 diagnose syntax problems.
  3450 
  3451 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3452 
  3453 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3454 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3455 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3456 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3457 
  3458 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3459 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3460 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3461 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3462 
  3463 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3464 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3465 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3466 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3467 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3468 
  3469 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3470 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3471 
  3472 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3473 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3474 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3475 
  3476   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3477 
  3478 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3479 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3480 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3481 
  3482 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3483 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3484 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3485 
  3486 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3487 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3488 
  3489 
  3490 *** Pure ***
  3491 
  3492 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3493 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3494 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3495 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3496 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3497 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3498 inspect proof terms.
  3499 
  3500 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3501 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3502 are added internally.  For example:
  3503 
  3504   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3505 
  3506 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3507 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3508 
  3509 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3510 
  3511 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3512 'class' instead.
  3513 
  3514 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3515 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3516 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3517 
  3518 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3519 invariants.
  3520 
  3521 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3522 user space functionality any longer.
  3523 
  3524 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3525 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3526 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3527 
  3528 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3529 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3530 
  3531 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3532 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3533 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3534 
  3535 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3536 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3537 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3538 
  3539 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3540 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3541 
  3542 
  3543 *** HOL ***
  3544 
  3545 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3546 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3547 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3548 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3549 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3550 
  3551 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3552 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3553 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3554 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3555 
  3556   fun
  3557     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3558   where
  3559     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3560 
  3561   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3562     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3563 
  3564   quotient_definition
  3565     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3566 
  3567 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3568 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3569 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3570 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3571 
  3572 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3573 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3574 
  3575 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3576 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3577 
  3578 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3579 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3580 
  3581 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3582 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3583 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3584 
  3585 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3586 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3587 
  3588 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3589 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3590 
  3591 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3592 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3593 
  3594 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3595 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3596 
  3597 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3598 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3599 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3632 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3633 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3634 
  3635 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3636 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3637 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3638 
  3639 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3640 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3641 
  3642 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3643 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3644 
  3645 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3646 
  3647 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3648 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3649 
  3650 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3651 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3652 
  3653 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3654 
  3655 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3656 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3657 
  3658 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3659 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3660 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3661 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3662 
  3663 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3664   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3665   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3666   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3667 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3668 
  3669 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3670 lattices):
  3671

  3710   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a

  3717     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3718 
  3719 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3720 
  3721 * Refined field classes:
  3722   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3723     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3724     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3725   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3726 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3727 
  3728 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3729   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3730   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3731   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3732     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3733   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3734     equal_neg_zero.
  3735 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3736 
  3737 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3738 sets to lattices:

  3749   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3750 
  3751 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3752 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3753 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3754 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3755 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3756 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3757 
  3758 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3759 multiset order:
  3760 
  3761   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3762     <= and <;
  3763   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3764     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3765     multiset_order;
  3766   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3767     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3768     generation;
  3769   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3770     if needed.
  3771 
  3772 Renamed:
  3773 
  3774   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3775   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3776   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3777 
  3778 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3779 
  3780 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3781 
  3782 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3783 
  3784 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3785 
  3786 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3787 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3788 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3818   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3819 
  3820 * Sledgehammer:
  3821   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3822     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3823     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3824     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3825     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3826     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3827     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3828   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3829   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3830     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3831   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3832     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3833     is still experimental.)
  3834   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3835     full-typed mode.
  3836   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3837 
  3838 * Nitpick:
  3839   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3840   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3841   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3842     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3843   - Added support for quotient types.
  3844   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3845     constructs.
  3846   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3847     "termination" proofs).
  3848   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3849   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3850   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3851   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3852     record getters.
  3853   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3854   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3855   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3856   - Added "atoms" option.
  3857   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3858     problems.
  3859   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3860     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3861     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3862   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3863     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3864   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3865 
  3866 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3867   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3868   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3869   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3870   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3871   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3872   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3873   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3874   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3875   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3876 
  3877 
  3878 *** HOLCF ***
  3879 
  3880 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3881 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3882 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3883 
  3884 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3885 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3886 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3887 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3888 
  3889 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3890 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3891 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3892 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3893 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3894 
  3895 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3896 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3897 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3898 
  3899 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3900 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3901 
  3902   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3903   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3904 
  3905 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3906 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3907 
  3908   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3909   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3910   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3911   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3912   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3913 
  3914 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3915 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3916 
  3917   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3918   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3919   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3920 
  3921 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3922 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3923 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3924 
  3925 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3926 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3927 
  3928 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3929 
  3930 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3931 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3932 
  3933 
  3934 *** ML ***
  3935 
  3936 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3937 
  3938     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3939     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3940 
  3941     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3942     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3943     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3944     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3945 
  3946     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3947     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3948     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3949 
  3950 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3951 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3952 
  3953 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3954 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3955 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3956 
  3957 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3958 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3959 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3960 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3961 
  3962 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3963 the context or even global references.
  3964 
  3965 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3966 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3967 
  3968 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3969 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3970 
  3971   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3972   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3973   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3974   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3975   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3976   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3977   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3978   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3979   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3980   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3981 
  3982 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3983 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3984 
  3985 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3986 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3987 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3988 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3989 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3990 
  3991 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3992 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3993 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3994 Theory_Data version.
  3995 
  3996 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3997 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3998 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3999 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4000 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4001 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4002 explicitly in rare situations.
  4003 
  4004 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4005 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4006 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4007 
  4008 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4009 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4010 
  4011 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4012 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4013 quite rare).
  4014 
  4015 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4016 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4017 
  4018 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4019 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4020 terms.
  4021 
  4022 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4023 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4024 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4025 
  4026 
  4027 *** System ***
  4028 
  4029 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4030 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4031 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4032 
  4033 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4034 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4035 respectively.
  4036 
  4037 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4038 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4039 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4040 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4041 
  4042   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4043 
  4044 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4045 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4046 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4047 component.
  4048 
  4049 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4050 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4051 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4052 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4053 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4054 the user for manual installation.
  4055 
  4056 
  4057 
  4058 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4059 -------------------------------------
  4060 
  4061 *** General ***
  4062 
  4063 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4064 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4065 
  4066 
  4067 *** Pure ***
  4068 
  4069 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4070 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4071 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4072 
  4073 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4074 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4075 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4076 
  4077 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4078 interpretation.
  4079 
  4080 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4081 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4082 
  4083 
  4084 *** Document preparation ***
  4085 
  4086 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4087 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4088 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4089 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4090 
  4091 
  4092 *** HOL ***
  4093 
  4094 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4095 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4096 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4097 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4098 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4099 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4100 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4101 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4102 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4103 
  4104 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4105 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4106 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4107 
  4108 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4109 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4110 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4111 
  4112 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4113 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4114 
  4115 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4116 
  4117 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4118 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4119 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4120 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4121 
  4122 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4123 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4124 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4125 "mirabelle" utility.
  4126 
  4127 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4128 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4129 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4130 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4131 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4132 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4133 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4134 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4135 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4136 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4137 
  4138 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4139 procedure only.
  4140 
  4141 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4142 
  4143 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4144 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4145 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4146 that fail later.
  4147 
  4148 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4149 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4150 
  4151 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4152 the same method as the approximation method.
  4153 
  4154 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4155 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4156 series expansion.
  4157 
  4158 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4159 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4160 
  4161 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4162 reals.
  4163 
  4164 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4165 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4166 
  4167 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4168 fixpoint theorem.
  4169 
  4170 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4171   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4172     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4173   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4174     accordingly
  4175   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4176     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4177   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4178     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4179 
  4180 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4181 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4182 lattice.
  4183 
  4184 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4185 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4186 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4187 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4188 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4189 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4190 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4191 
  4192 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4193   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4194     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4195   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4196     le_inf_iff
  4197   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4198     sup_aci)
  4199   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4200   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4201   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4202     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4203     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4204     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4205     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4206     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4207     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4208     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4209     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4210     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4211     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4212   - authentic syntax for
  4213     Set.Pow
  4214     Set.image
  4215   - mere abbreviations:
  4216     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4217     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4218     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4219     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4220     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4221     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4222     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4223     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4224   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4225 
  4226 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4227 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4228 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4229 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4230 
  4231 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4232 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4233 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4234 
  4235 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4236 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4237 
  4238 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4239 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4240 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4241 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4242 
  4243 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4244 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4245 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4246 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4247 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4248 
  4249 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4250 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4251 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4252 
  4253 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4254 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4255 
  4256 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4257 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4258 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4259 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4260 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4261 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4262 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4263 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4264 
  4265 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4266     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4267     code_post       replaces    code post
  4268     etc.
  4269   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4270 
  4271 * Renamed methods:
  4272     sizechange -> size_change
  4273     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4274   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4275 
  4276 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4277 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4278 
  4279 * Renamed theorems:
  4280     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4281     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4282     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4283     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4284     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4285   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4286 
  4287 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4288 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4289 
  4290 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4291 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4292 
  4293 
  4294 *** HOLCF ***
  4295 
  4296 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4297 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4298 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4299 
  4300 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4301 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4302 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4303 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4304 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4305 
  4306 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4307 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4308 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4309 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4310 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4311 
  4312 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4313 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4314 constructor are pre-configured.
  4315 
  4316 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4317 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4318 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4319 
  4320 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4321 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4322 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4323 as well.)
  4324 
  4325 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4326 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4327 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4328 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4329 examples.
  4330 
  4331 
  4332 *** ML ***
  4333 
  4334 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4335 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4336 
  4337 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4338 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4339 position, logical grouping etc.
  4340 
  4341 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4342 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4343 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4344 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4345 
  4346 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4347 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4348 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4349 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4350 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4351 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4352 
  4353 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4354 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4355 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4356 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4357 experiments with references.
  4358 
  4359 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4360 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4361 
  4362 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4363 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4364 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4365 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4366 
  4367 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4368 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4369 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4370 
  4371 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4372 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4373 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4374 
  4375 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4376 
  4377 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4378 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4379 
  4380 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4381 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4382 
  4383 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4384 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4385 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4386 
  4387 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4388 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4389 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4390 
  4391 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4392 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4393 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4394 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4395 
  4396 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4397 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4398 instead of global theory.
  4399 
  4400 
  4401 *** System ***
  4402 
  4403 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4404 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4405 usedir option -q.
  4406 
  4407 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4408 also the system manual.
  4409 
  4410 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4411 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4412 
  4413 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4414 this is always enabled.
  4415 
  4416 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4417 
  4418 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4419 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4420 currently supported on Linux only.
  4421 
  4422 
  4423 
  4424 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4425 --------------------------------
  4426 
  4427 *** General ***
  4428 
  4429 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4430 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4431 
  4432   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4433     "isatool."
  4434 
  4435   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4436     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4437 
  4438   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4439     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4440 
  4441 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4442 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4443 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4444 
  4445 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4446 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4447 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4448 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4449 via "isabelle emacs".
  4450 
  4451 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4452 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4453 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4454 
  4455 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4456 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4457 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4458 
  4459 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4460 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4461 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4462 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4463 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4464 
  4465 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4466 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4467 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4468 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4469 
  4470 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4471 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4472 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4473 
  4474 
  4475 *** Pure ***
  4476 
  4477 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4478 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4479 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4480 
  4481 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4482 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4483 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4484 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4485 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4486 
  4487 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4488 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4489 useful in locale declarations.
  4490 
  4491 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4492 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4493 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4494 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4495 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4496 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4497 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4498 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4499 no longer generated.
  4500 
  4501 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4502 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4503 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4504 
  4505 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4506 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4507 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4508 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4509 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4510 
  4511 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4512 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4513 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4514 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4515 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4516 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4517 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4518 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4519 
  4520 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4521 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4522 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4523 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4524 
  4525 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4526 
  4527 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4528 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4529 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4530 
  4531 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4532 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4533 
  4534 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4535 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4536 in HOL, write
  4537 
  4538     class foo = ...
  4539 
  4540 instead of
  4541 
  4542     class foo = type + ...
  4543 
  4544 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4545 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4546 
  4547 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4548 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4549 
  4550 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4551 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4552 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4553 
  4554 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4555 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4556 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4557 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4558 directly in regular applications.
  4559 
  4560 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4561 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4562 
  4563 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4564 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4565 
  4566 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4567 theory context.
  4568 
  4569 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4570 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4571 
  4572 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4573 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4574 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4575 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4576 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4577 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4578 
  4579   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4580 
  4581 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4582 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4583 normalization.
  4584 
  4585 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4586 addressing etc.
  4587 
  4588 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4589 
  4590   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4591   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4592 
  4593 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4594 
  4595   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4596      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4597      parts of the code generator framework).
  4598 
  4599   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4600      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4601      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4602 
  4603 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4604 
  4605 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4606 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4607 
  4608 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4609 patterns, e.g.
  4610 
  4611     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4612 
  4613 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4614 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4615 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4616 hyphen:
  4617 
  4618     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4619 
  4620 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4621 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4622 
  4623 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4624 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4625 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4626 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4627 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4628 higher-order unification.
  4629 
  4630 
  4631 *** Document preparation ***
  4632 
  4633 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4634 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4635 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4636 
  4637 
  4638 *** HOL ***
  4639 
  4640 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4641 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4642 
  4643 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4644 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4645 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4646 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4647 Main, as before.
  4648 
  4649 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4650 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4651 
  4652 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4653 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4654 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4655 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4656 
  4657 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4658 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4659 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4660 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4661 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4662 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4663 
  4664 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4665 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4666 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4667 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4668 
  4669 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4670 menu.
  4671 
  4672 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4673 (contains the empty clause).
  4674 
  4675 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4676 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4677 
  4678 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4679 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4680 
  4681 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4682 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4683 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4684 
  4685 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4686 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4687 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4688 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4689 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4690 
  4691 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4692 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4693 
  4694 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4695 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4696 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4697 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4698 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4699 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4700 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4701 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4702 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4703 
  4704 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4705 
  4706 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4707 
  4708 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4709 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4710 
  4711 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4712 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4713 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4714 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4715 
  4716 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4717 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4718 
  4719     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4720     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4721     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4722     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4723     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4724     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4725     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4726     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4727 
  4728 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4729 theory Set.
  4730 
  4731 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4732 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4733 
  4734 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4735 
  4736 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4737 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4738 
  4739 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4740 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4741 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4742 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4743 allowed. For examples see
  4744 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4745 
  4746 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4747 
  4748 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4749 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4750 
  4751 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4752 structure:

  4805 
  4806 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4807 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4808 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4809 
  4810 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4811 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4812 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4813 
  4814 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4815 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4816 
  4817 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4818 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4819 
  4820 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4821 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4822 proofs, e.g.
  4823 
  4824   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4825 
  4826 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4827 
  4828 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4829 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4830 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4831 
  4832 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4833 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4834 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4835 
  4836 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4837 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4838 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4839 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4840 
  4841 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4842 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4843 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4844 preorder_class.*.
  4845 
  4846 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4847 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4848 
  4849 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4850 
  4851   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4852 
  4853 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4854 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4855 fold_image.
  4856 
  4857 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4858 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4859 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4860 the former will disappear at some point.
  4861 
  4862 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4863 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4864 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4865 
  4866 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4867 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4868 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4869 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4870 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4871 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4872 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4873 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4874 
  4875 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4876 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4877 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4878 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4879 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4880 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4881 
  4882     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4883     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4884     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4885     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4886     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4887     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4888     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4889 
  4890 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4891 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4892 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4893 
  4894 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4895 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4896 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4897 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4898 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4899 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4900 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4901 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4902 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4903 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4904 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4905 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4906 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4907 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4908 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4909 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4910 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4911 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4912 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4913 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4914 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4915 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4916 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4917 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4918 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4919 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4920 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4921 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4922 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4923 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4924 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4925 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4926 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4927 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4928 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4929 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4930 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4931 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4932 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4933 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4934 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4935 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4936 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4937 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4938 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4939 
  4940 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4941 
  4942 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4943 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4944 
  4945 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4946 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4947 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4948 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4949 
  4950 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4951 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4952 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4953 theory RealVector.
  4954 
  4955 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4956 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4957 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4958 and inner products are included.
  4959 
  4960 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4961 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4962 supported.
  4963 
  4964 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4965 first diagonalization argument.
  4966 
  4967 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4968 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4969 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4970 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4971 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4972 
  4973     hide (open) const gcd
  4974     abbreviation gcd where
  4975       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4976     notation (output)
  4977       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4978 
  4979 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4980 
  4981 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4982 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4983 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4984 
  4985 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4986 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4987 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4988 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4989 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4990 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4991 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4992 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4993 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4994 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4995 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4996 cases.
  4997 
  4998 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4999 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5000 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5001 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5002 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5003 
  5004     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5005     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5006     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5007     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5008     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5009 
  5010 
  5011 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5012 
  5013 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5014 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5015 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5016 
  5017 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5018 
  5019 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5020 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5021 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5022 
  5023 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5024 
  5025 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5026 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5027 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5028 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5029 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5030 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5031 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5032 
  5033 
  5034 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5035 
  5036 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5037 
  5038 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5039 theory targets.
  5040 
  5041 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5042 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5043 'inductive' etc.
  5044 
  5045 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5046 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5047 
  5048 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5049 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5050 
  5051 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5052 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5053 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5054 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5055 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5056 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5057 the algorithm W:
  5058 
  5059  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5060  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5061          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5062 
  5063 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5064 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5065 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5066 
  5067 
  5068 *** HOLCF ***
  5069 
  5070 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5071 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5072 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5073 
  5074 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5075 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5076 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5077 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5078 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5079 
  5080 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5081 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5082 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5083 
  5084 
  5085 *** ZF ***
  5086 
  5087 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5088 
  5089 
  5090 *** ML ***
  5091 
  5092 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5093 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5094 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5095 5.2.1!
  5096 
  5097 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5098 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5099 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5100 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5101 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5102 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5103 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5104 
  5105 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5106 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5107 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5108 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5109 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5110 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5111 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5112 
  5113 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5114 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5115 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5116 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5117 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5118 
  5119 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5120 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5121 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5122 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5123 Method.add_method.
  5124 
  5125 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5126 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5127 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5128 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5129 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5130 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5131 
  5132 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5133 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5134 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5135 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5136 examples.
  5137 
  5138 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5139 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5140 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5141 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5142 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5143 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5144 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5145 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5146 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5147 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5148 
  5149 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5150 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5151 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5152 
  5153 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5154 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5155 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5156 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5157 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5158 resort for legacy applications.
  5159 
  5160 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5161 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5162 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5163 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5164 explicit runtime argument.
  5165 
  5166 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5167 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5168 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5169 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5170 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5171 
  5172 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5173 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5174 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5175 theory state.
  5176 
  5177 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5178 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5179 
  5180   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5181   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5182   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5183   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5184   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5185   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5186   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5187   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5188   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5189   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5190 
  5191 
  5192 *** System ***
  5193 
  5194 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5195 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5196 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5197 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5198 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5199 
  5200 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5201 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5202 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5203 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5204 
  5205 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5206 
  5207 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5208 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5209 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5210 prover operations.
  5211 
  5212 
  5213 
  5214 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5215 -------------------------------
  5216 
  5217 *** General ***
  5218 
  5219 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5220 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5221 
  5222 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5223 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5224 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5225 provides a proper context already.
  5226 
  5227 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5228 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5229 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5230 
  5231 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5232 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5233 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5234 swap theory imports.
  5235 
  5236 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5237 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5238 
  5239 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5240 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5241 white space without escapes.
  5242 
  5243 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5244 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5245 "foo_bar".
  5246 
  5247 
  5248 *** Pure ***
  5249 
  5250 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5251 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5252 
  5253 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5254 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5255 
  5256 (1) unused_thms
  5257      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5258 
  5259 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5260      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5261      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5262 
  5263 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5264      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5265      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5266      their ancestors.
  5267 
  5268 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5269 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5270 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5271 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5272 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5273 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5274 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5275 
  5276 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5277 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5278 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5279 
  5280 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5281 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5282 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5283 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5284 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5285 
  5286 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5287 
  5288 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5289 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5290 update of theories within ML code.
  5291 
  5292 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5293 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5294 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5295 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5296 
  5297 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5298 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5299 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5300 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5301 
  5302 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5303 
  5304 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5305 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5306 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5307 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5308 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5309 
  5310 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5311 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5312 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5313 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5314 situations.
  5315 
  5316 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5317 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5318 proof text.
  5319 
  5320 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5321 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5322 
  5323 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5324 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5325 predicates.
  5326 
  5327 
  5328 *** Document preparation ***
  5329 
  5330 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5331 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5332 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5333 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5334 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5335 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5336 
  5337 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5338 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5339 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5340 
  5341 
  5342 *** HOL ***
  5343 
  5344 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5345 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5346 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5347 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5348 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5349 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5350 
  5351 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5352 with multithreading.
  5353 
  5354 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5355 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5356 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5357 
  5358 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5359 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5360 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5361 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5362 
  5363 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5364 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5365 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5366 and makes them available separately.  See
  5367 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5368 
  5369 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5370 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5371 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5372 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5373 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5374 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5375 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5376 the declared rules.
  5377 
  5378 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5379 
  5380   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5381 
  5382 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5383 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5384 
  5385 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5386 
  5387   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5388 
  5389   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5390     definitions on => and bool.
  5391 
  5392   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5393     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5394     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5395 
  5396       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5397       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5398       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5399       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5400       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5401       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5402       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5403       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5404 
  5405   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5406     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5407     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5408 
  5409   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5410     The proof pattern
  5411 
  5412       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5413       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5414 
  5415     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5416     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5417 
  5418       have "EX S. P S"
  5419       proof
  5420         show "P S" <...>
  5421       qed
  5422 
  5423   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5424     The proof pattern
  5425 
  5426       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5427       also have "S = T" <...>
  5428       finally have "P T" .
  5429 
  5430     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5431     must be replaced by something like
  5432 
  5433       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5434       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5435       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5436 
  5437   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5438     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5439 
  5440       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5441 
  5442     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5443     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5444     type of the form
  5445 
  5446       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5447 
  5448     rather than
  5449 
  5450       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5451 
  5452 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5453 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5454 
  5455 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5456 
  5457 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5458 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5459 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5460 
  5461 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5462 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5463 
  5464 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5465 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5466 
  5467 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5468 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5469 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5470 
  5471 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5472 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5473 
  5474   less_trans
  5475   less_linear
  5476   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5477   le_less_trans
  5478   less_le_trans
  5479   less_not_sym
  5480   less_asym
  5481 
  5482 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5483 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5484 and different variable names.
  5485 
  5486 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5487 
  5488 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5489 finite maps.
  5490 
  5491 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5492 
  5493 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5494 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5495 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5496 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5497 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5498 accordingly.
  5499 
  5500 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5501 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5502 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5503 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5504 
  5505 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5506 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5507 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5508 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5509 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5510 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5511 
  5512 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5513 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5514 
  5515 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5516 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5517 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5518 
  5519 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5520 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5521 
  5522 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5523 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5524 
  5525 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5526 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5527 
  5528 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5529 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5530 
  5531 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5532 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5533 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5534 
  5535 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5536 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5537 
  5538 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5539 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5540 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5541 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5542 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5543 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5544 
  5545 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5546 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5547 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5548 
  5549 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5550 
  5551 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5552 
  5553 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5554 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5555 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5556 
  5557 
  5558 *** ZF ***
  5559 
  5560 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5561 same session:
  5562 
  5563   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5564   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5565   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5566   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5567   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5568   List      -> List_ZF
  5569   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5570 
  5571 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5572 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5573 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5574 
  5575 
  5576 *** ML ***
  5577 
  5578 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5579 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5580 
  5581 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5582 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5583 
  5584 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5585 
  5586 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5587 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5588 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5589 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5590 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5591 
  5592 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5593 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5594 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5595 
  5596 
  5597 *** System ***
  5598 
  5599 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5600 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5601 
  5602 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5603 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5604 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5605 
  5606 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5607 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5608 
  5609 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5610 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5611 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5612 
  5613 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5614 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5615 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5616 
  5617 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5618 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5619 
  5620 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5621 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5622 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5623 script.
  5624 
  5625 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5626 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5627 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5628 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5629 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5630 
  5631 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5632 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5633 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5634 
  5635 
  5636 
  5637 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5638 -----------------------------------
  5639 
  5640 *** General ***
  5641 
  5642 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5643 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5644 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5645 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5646 
  5647 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5648 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5649 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5650 
  5651 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5652 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5653 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5654 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5655 
  5656 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5657 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5658 quotes.
  5659 
  5660 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5661 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5662 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5663 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5664 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5665 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5666 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5667 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5668 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5669 
  5670 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5671 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5672 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5673 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5674 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5675 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5676 
  5677 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5678 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5679 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5680 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5681 
  5682 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5683 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5684 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5685 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5686 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5687 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5688 
  5689 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5690 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5691 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5692 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5693 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5694 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5695 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5696 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5697 
  5698 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5699 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5700 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5701 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5702 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5703 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5704 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5705 
  5706 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5707 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5708 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5709 
  5710 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5711 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5712 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5713 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5714 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5715 limit is imposed.
  5716 
  5717 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5718 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5719 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5720 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5721 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5722 and scalability.
  5723 
  5724 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5725 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5726 
  5727 
  5728 *** Document preparation ***
  5729 
  5730 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5731 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5732 current context.
  5733 
  5734 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5735 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5736 
  5737 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5738 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5739 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5740 
  5741 
  5742 *** Pure ***
  5743 
  5744 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5745 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5746 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5747 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5748 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5749 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5750 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5751 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5752 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5753 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5754 
  5755 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5756 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5757 sketch:
  5758 
  5759     internal compilation:
  5760         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5761     writing SML code to a file:
  5762         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5763     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5764         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5765     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5766         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5767 
  5768     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5769         method ``eval''
  5770 
  5771 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5772 
  5773 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5774 
  5775     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5776     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5777     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5778     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5779 
  5780 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5781 
  5782     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5783       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5784 
  5785     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5786       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5787 
  5788     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5789       {(target)}+
  5790         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5791 
  5792     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5793       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5794         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5795 
  5796 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5797 
  5798 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5799 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5800 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5801 codegen".
  5802 
  5803 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5804 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5805 annotations).
  5806 
  5807 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5808 syntax.
  5809 
  5810 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5811 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5812 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5813 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5814 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5815 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5816 
  5817 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5818 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5819 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5820 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5821 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5822 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5823 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5824 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5825 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5826 equations, see section "definitions".
  5827 
  5828 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5829 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5830 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5831 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5832 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5833 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5834 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5835 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5836 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5837 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5838 
  5839 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5840 configuration options:
  5841 
  5842   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5843   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5844   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5845   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5846   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5847   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5848   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5849   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5850   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5851 
  5852 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5853 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5854 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5855 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5856 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5857 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5858 order.
  5859 
  5860 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5861 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5862 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5863 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5864 context encountered later on.
  5865 
  5866 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5867 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5868 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5869 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5870 
  5871 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5872 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5873 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5874 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5875 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5876 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5877 
  5878 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5879 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5880 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5881 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5882 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5883 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5884 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5885 more permissive.
  5886 
  5887 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5888 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5889 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5890 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5891 maintainability of proof texts.
  5892 
  5893 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5894 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5895 
  5896   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5897   then guess x and y by clarify
  5898 
  5899 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5900 proof tools being involved here.
  5901 
  5902 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5903 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5904 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5905 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5906 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5907 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5908 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5909 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5910 
  5911 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5912 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5913 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5914 
  5915   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5916   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5917   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5918   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5919 
  5920 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5921 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5922 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5923 
  5924 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5925 both named and unnamed ones.
  5926 
  5927 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5928 
  5929   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5930 
  5931 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5932 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5933 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5934 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5935 
  5936 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5937 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5938 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5939 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5940 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5941 
  5942 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5943 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5944 
  5945 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5946 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5947 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5948 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5949 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5950 originally first one.
  5951 
  5952 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5953 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5954 expected.
  5955 
  5956 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5957 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5958 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5959 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5960 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5961 
  5962   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5963     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5964     obtains x where "P x"
  5965 
  5966   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5967     assumes "A & B"
  5968     obtains A and B
  5969 
  5970   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5971     assumes "A | B"
  5972     obtains
  5973       A
  5974     | B
  5975 
  5976 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5977 explicitly:
  5978 
  5979   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5980     obtains "~ thesis"
  5981 
  5982   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5983     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5984 
  5985 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5986 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5987 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5988 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5989 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5990 case_names).
  5991 
  5992 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5993 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5994 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5995 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5996 
  5997 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5998 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5999 top-level lemma.
  6000 
  6001 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6002 introduction rule (default "that").
  6003 
  6004 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6005 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6006 to occur.
  6007 
  6008 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6009 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6010 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6011 representations independently of name spaces.
  6012 
  6013 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6014 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6015 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6016 
  6017 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6018 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6019 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6020 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6021 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6022 current context.
  6023 
  6024 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6025 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6026 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6027 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6028 
  6029   axiomatization
  6030     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6031     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6032 
  6033   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6034   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6035 
  6036   abbreviation
  6037     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6038     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6039 
  6040 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6041 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6042 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6043 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6044 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6045 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6046 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6047 
  6048 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6049 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6050 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6051 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6052 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6053 
  6054 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6055 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6056 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6057 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6058 
  6059 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6060 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6061 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6062 
  6063   definition "K x _ = x"
  6064 
  6065   inductive conj for A B
  6066   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6067 
  6068 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6069 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6070 abbreviations on output.
  6071 
  6072 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6073 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6074 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6075 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6076 
  6077 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6078 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6079 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6080 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6081 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6082 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6083 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6084 
  6085 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6086 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6087 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6088 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6089 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6090 
  6091 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6092 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6093 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6094 
  6095 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6096 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6097 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6098 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6099 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6100 
  6101   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6102     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6103 
  6104 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6105 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6106 partial_order.
  6107 
  6108 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6109 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6110 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6111 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6112 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6113 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6114 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6115 examples.
  6116 
  6117 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6118 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6119 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6120 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6121 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6122 
  6123 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6124 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6125 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6126 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6127 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6128 
  6129   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6130   (induct set: foo bar)
  6131   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6132   (induct type: foo bar)
  6133 
  6134 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6135 new format.
  6136 
  6137 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6138 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6139 
  6140 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6141 considered a legacy feature.
  6142 
  6143 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6144 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6145 
  6146 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6147 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6148 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6149 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6150   
  6151 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6152 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6153 manipulating the claset.
  6154 
  6155 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6156 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6157 least one premise.
  6158 
  6159 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6160 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6161 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6162 rule steps.
  6163 
  6164 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6165 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6166 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6167 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6168 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6169 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6170 
  6171 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6172 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6173 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6174 
  6175 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6176 the graph browser tool.
  6177 
  6178 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6179 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6180 
  6181 
  6182 *** HOL ***
  6183 
  6184 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6185 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6186 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6187 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6188 multi-threading.
  6189   
  6190 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6191 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6192 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6193 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6194 work with multi-threading.
  6195 
  6196 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6197 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6198 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6199 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6200 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6201 
  6202 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6203 
  6204 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6205 equality.
  6206 
  6207 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6208 the new 'class' package:
  6209 
  6210     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6211     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6212     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  6229     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6230 
  6231 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6232 
  6233 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6234 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6235 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6236 names.
  6237 
  6238 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6239 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6240 
  6241 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6242 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6243 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6244 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6245 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6246 
  6247 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6248 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6249 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6250 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6251 
  6252 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6253 
  6254 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6255 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6256 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6257 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6258 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6259 
  6260 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6261 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6262 
  6263 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6264 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6265 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6266 
  6267 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6268 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6269 
  6270 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6271 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6272 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6273 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6274 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6275 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6276 in the current context.
  6277 
  6278 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6279 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6280 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6281 
  6282 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6283 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6284 
  6285 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6286 
  6287     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6288     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6289 
  6290     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6291       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6292     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6293     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6294 
  6295     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6296     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6297 
  6298   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  6299

  6400 
  6401 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6402 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6403 
  6404 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6405 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6406 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6407 "*.size".
  6408 
  6409 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6410 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6411 
  6412 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6413 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6414 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6415 
  6416 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6417 
  6418 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6419 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6420 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6421 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6422 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6423 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6424 numerals on all operations.
  6425 
  6426 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6427 
  6428 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6429 
  6430 * Code generator library theories:
  6431   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6432     languages.
  6433   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6434     languages.
  6435   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6436     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6437   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6438   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6439     denominator).
  6440   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6441     representable by rational numbers.
  6442   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6443     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6444     includes Code_Integer.
  6445   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6446     target-language built-in integers.
  6447   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6448     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6449 
  6450 * New package for inductive predicates
  6451 
  6452   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6453 
  6454     inductive
  6455       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6456       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6457     where
  6458       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6459     | ...
  6460 
  6461   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6462 
  6463     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6464 
  6465     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6466     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6467 
  6468     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6469     intros
  6470       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6471       ...
  6472 
  6473   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6474   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6475 
  6476     inductive_set
  6477       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6478       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6479     where
  6480       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6481     | ...
  6482 
  6483   or
  6484 
  6485     inductive_set
  6486       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6487       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6488       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6489     where
  6490       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6491     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6492     | ...
  6493 
  6494   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6495 
  6496   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6497   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6498 
  6499   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6500 
  6501   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6502     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6503     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6504     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6505     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6506 
  6507   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6508     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6509     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6510     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6511     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6512     statements of the form
  6513 
  6514       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6515 
  6516     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6517     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6518 
  6519       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6520 
  6521   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6522 
  6523       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6524         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6525         ==> ... ==> P
  6526 
  6527     for predicates and
  6528 
  6529       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6530         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6531         ==> ... ==> P
  6532 
  6533     for sets rather than
  6534 
  6535       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6536         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6537         ==> ... ==> P
  6538 
  6539     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6540     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6541     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6542 
  6543   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6544     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6545     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6546 
  6547 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6548 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6549 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6550 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6551 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6552 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6553 
  6554 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6555 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6556 
  6557 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6558 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6559 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6560 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6561 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6562 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6563 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6564 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6565 variable.
  6566 
  6567 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6568 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6569 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6570 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6571   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6572   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6573 
  6574 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6575 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6576 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6577 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6578 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6579 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6580 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6581 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6582 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6583 
  6584 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6585 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6586 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6587 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6588 rat, etc.
  6589 
  6590 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6591 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6592 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6593 
  6594 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6595 
  6596 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6597 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6598 
  6599 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6600 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6601 
  6602 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6603 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6604 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6605 
  6606 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6607 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6608 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6609 
  6610 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6611 
  6612 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6613 
  6614 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6615 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6616 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6617 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6618 
  6619 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6620 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6621 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6622 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6623 
  6624 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6625 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6626 algebraic operations.
  6627 
  6628 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6629 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6630 
  6631 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6632 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6633 
  6634 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6635 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6636 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6637 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6638 adapted.
  6639  
  6640 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6641 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6642 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6643 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6644 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6645 
  6646 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6647 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6648 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6649 
  6650 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6651 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6652 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6653 
  6654 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6655 
  6656 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6657 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6658 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6659   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6660       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6661   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6662   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6663   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6664 
  6665 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6666 
  6667 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6668 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6669 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6670 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6671 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6672 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6673 
  6674 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6675 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6676 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6677 
  6678 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6679 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6680 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6681 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6682 
  6683 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6684 
  6685 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6686 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6687 
  6688 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6689 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6690 
  6691 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6692 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6693 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6694 
  6695 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6696 True/False.
  6697 
  6698 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6699 
  6700 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6701 
  6702 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6703 ``rule'' method.
  6704 
  6705 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6706 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6707 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6708 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6709 
  6710 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6711 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6712 
  6713 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6714 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6715 
  6716 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6717 Library.
  6718 
  6719 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6720 
  6721 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6722 as greatest fixed-point.
  6723 
  6724 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6725 association lists.
  6726 
  6727 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6728 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6729 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6730 
  6731 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6732 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6733 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6734 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6735 behavior.
  6736 
  6737 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6738 
  6739 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6740 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6741 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6742 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6743 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6744 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6745 
  6746 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6747 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6748 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6749 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6750 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6751 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6752 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6753 
  6754 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6755 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6756 
  6757 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6758 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6759 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6760 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6761 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6762 
  6763 
  6764 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6765 
  6766 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6767 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6768 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6769 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6770 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6771 
  6772 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6773 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6774 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6775 
  6776 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6777 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6778 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6779 
  6780 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6781 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6782 
  6783 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6784 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6785 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6786 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6802   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6803 
  6804 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6805 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6806 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6807 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6818 
  6819 
  6820 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6821 
  6822 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6823 
  6824 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6825 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6826 
  6827 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6828 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6829 
  6830 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6831 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6832 of algebraic structures.
  6833 
  6834 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6835 
  6836 
  6837 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6838 
  6839 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6840 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6841 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6842 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6843 
  6844 
  6845 *** ML ***
  6846 
  6847 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6848 (even on SML/NJ).
  6849 
  6850 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6851 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6852 compile-time.  For example:
  6853 
  6854 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6855 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6856 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6857 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6858 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6859 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6860 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6861 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6862 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6863 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6864 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6865 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6866 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6867 ML {* @{context} *}
  6868 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6869 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6870 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6871 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6872 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6873 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6874 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6875 
  6876 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6877 
  6878 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6879 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6880 
  6881 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6882 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6883 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6884 
  6885 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6886 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6887 
  6888 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6889 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6890 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6891 
  6892 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6893 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6894 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6895 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6896 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6897 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6898 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6899 declarations and definitions.
  6900 
  6901 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6902 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6903 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6904 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6905 
  6906 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6907 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6908 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6909 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6910 
  6911 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6912 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6913 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6914 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6915 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6916 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6917 
  6918 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6919 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6920 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6921 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6922 attributes, methods, etc.
  6923 
  6924 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6925 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6926 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6927 fold_map combinators.
  6928 
  6929 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6930 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6931 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6932 derivation.
  6933 
  6934 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6935 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6936 achieve the old behaviour.
  6937 
  6938 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6939 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6940 statements.
  6941 
  6942 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6943 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6944 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6945 
  6946 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6947 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6948 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6949 
  6950   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6951   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6952   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6953 
  6954 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6955 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6956 
  6957 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6958 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6959 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6960 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6961 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6962 
  6963 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6964 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6965 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6966 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6967 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6968 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6969 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6970 in a locale context).
  6971 
  6972 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6973 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6974 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6975 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6976 
  6977 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6978 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6979 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6980 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6981 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6982 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6983 
  6984 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6985 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6986 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6987 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6988 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6989 
  6990   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6991 
  6992 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6993 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6994 this:
  6995 
  6996   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6997 
  6998 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6999 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7000 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7001 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7002 
  7003 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7004 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7005 
  7006 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7007 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7008 
  7009 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7010 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7011 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7012 batch mode.
  7013 
  7014 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7015 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7016 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7017 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7018 
  7019 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7020 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7021 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7022 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7023 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7024 
  7025 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7026 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7027 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7028 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7029 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7030 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7031 
  7032 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7033 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7034 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7035 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7036 
  7037 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7038 "Trueprop" etc.
  7039 
  7040 
  7041 *** System ***
  7042 
  7043 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7044 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7045 Isabelle installations.
  7046 
  7047 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7048 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7049 code.
  7050 
  7051 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7052 
  7053 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7054 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7055 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7056 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7057 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7058 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7059 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7060 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7061 Implementation manual.

  7064 
  7065 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7066 ----------------------------------
  7067 
  7068 *** General ***
  7069 
  7070 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7071 
  7072   theory <name>
  7073   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7074   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7075   begin
  7076 
  7077 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7078 
  7079   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7080 
  7081 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7082 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7083 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7084 
  7085 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7086 relative and absolute paths.
  7087 
  7088 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7089 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7090 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7091 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7092 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7093 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7094 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7095 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7096 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7097 
  7098   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7099 
  7100 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7101 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7102 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7103 
  7104 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7105 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7106 
  7107 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7108 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7109 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7110 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7111 
  7112   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7113   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7114 
  7115 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7116 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7117 faster.
  7118 
  7119 
  7120 *** Document preparation ***
  7121 
  7122 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7123 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7124 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7125 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7126 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7127 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7128 
  7129 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7130 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7131 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7132 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7133 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7134 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7135 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7136 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7137 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7138 \isadroptag.
  7139 
  7140 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7141 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7142 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7143 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7144 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7145 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7146 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7147 specified above.
  7148 
  7149 * Several new antiquotations:
  7150 
  7151   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7152 
  7153   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7154 
  7155   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7156   argument is a known logical constant;
  7157 
  7158   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7159   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7160 
  7161   @{ML text}
  7162 
  7163 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7164 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7165 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7166 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7167 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7168 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7169 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7170 
  7171 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7172 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7173 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7174 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7175 
  7176 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7177 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7178 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7179 
  7180 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7181 a proof context.
  7182 
  7183 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7184 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7185 
  7186 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7187 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7188 
  7189 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7190 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7191 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7192 
  7193 
  7194 *** Pure ***
  7195 
  7196 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7197 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7198 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7199 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7200 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7201 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7202 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7203 
  7204 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7205 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7206 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7207 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7208 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7209 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7210 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7211 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7212 
  7213 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7214 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7215 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7216 
  7217 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7218 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7219 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7220 
  7221 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7222 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7223 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7224 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7225 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7226 
  7227 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7228 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7229 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7230 axclasses vs. locales.
  7231 
  7232 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7233 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7234 
  7235 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7236 marks in schematic variable names.
  7237 
  7238 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7239 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7240 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7241 
  7242   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7243     by simp
  7244 
  7245 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7246 
  7247 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7248 annotations as "(00...)".
  7249 
  7250 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7251 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7252 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7253 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7254 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7255 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7256 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7257 
  7258 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7259 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7260 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7261 specifications.
  7262 
  7263 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7264 locally fixed variables as well.
  7265 
  7266 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7267 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7268 Limit.
  7269 
  7270 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7271 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7272 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7273 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7274 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7275 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7276 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7277 
  7278 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7279 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7280 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7281 
  7282 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7283 
  7284 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7285 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7286 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7287 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7288 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7289 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7290 
  7291 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7292 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7293 
  7294 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7295 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7296 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7297 
  7298 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7299 
  7300 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7301 theory development.
  7302 
  7303 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7304 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7305 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7306 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7307 
  7308 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7309 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7310 quoted when used as identifier.
  7311 
  7312 
  7313 *** Locales ***
  7314 
  7315 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7316 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7317 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7318 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7319 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7320 commands is a follows:
  7321 
  7322   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7323   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7324   (3) interpret expr inst
  7325 
  7326 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7327 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7328 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7329 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7330 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7331 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7332 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7333 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7334 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7335 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7336 
  7337 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7338 'interpret' instead.
  7339 
  7340 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7341 parameters.
  7342 
  7343 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7344 redeclaration.
  7345 
  7346 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7347 
  7348 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7349 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7350 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7351 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7352 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7353 
  7354 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7355 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7356 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7357 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7358 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7359 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7360 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7361 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7362 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7363 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7364 
  7365 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7366 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7367 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7368 
  7369 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7370 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7371 
  7372 
  7373 *** Provers ***
  7374 
  7375 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7376 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7377 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7378 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7379 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7380 
  7381 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7382 and quasi orders.
  7383 
  7384 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7385 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7386 
  7387 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7388 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7389 
  7390 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7391 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7392 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7393 
  7394 
  7395 *** HOL ***
  7396 
  7397 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7398 
  7399   syntax (epsilon)
  7400     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7401 
  7402 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7403 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7404 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7405 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7406 
  7407 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7408 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7409 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7410 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7411 
  7412 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7413 instead of ":".
  7414 
  7415 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7416 
  7417   Old       New
  7418   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7419   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7420   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7421   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7422   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7423 
  7424 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7425 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7426 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7427 
  7428   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7429   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7430 
  7431 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7432 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7433 interface.
  7434 
  7435 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7436 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7437 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7438 be a tuple pattern.
  7439 
  7440 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7441 
  7442   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7443   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7444   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7445   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7446 
  7447 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7448 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7449 
  7450 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7451 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7452 (insert F x)'.
  7453 
  7454 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7455 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7456 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7457 
  7458 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7459 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7460 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7461 
  7462 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7463 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7464 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7465 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7466 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7467 
  7468 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7469 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7470 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7471 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7472 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7473 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7474 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7475 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7476 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7477 
  7478 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7479 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7480 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7481 quite long.
  7482 
  7483 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7484 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7485 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7486 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7487 
  7488 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7489 type-variables in the term.
  7490 
  7491 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7492 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7493 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7494 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7495 goals than previously.
  7496 
  7497 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7498 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7499 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7500 just like y <= x.
  7501 
  7502 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7503 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7504 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7505 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7506 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7507 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7508 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7509 
  7510 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7511 
  7512 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7513 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7514 
  7515 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7516 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7517 inequalities.
  7518 
  7519 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7520 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7521 
  7522   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7523   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  7529   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7530   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7531   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7532   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7533 
  7534 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7535      
  7536      zero_le_square
  7537      not_square_less_zero 
  7538 
  7539   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7541      realpow_zero_zero
  7542      realpow_two
  7543      realpow_less

  7545      realpow_two_le
  7546      abs_realpow_two
  7547      realpow_two_abs     
  7548 
  7549 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7550 
  7551 * Theory List:
  7552 
  7553 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7554 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7555 
  7556   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7557   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7558   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7559   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7560 
  7561 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7562 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7563 
  7564 
  7565 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7566 
  7567 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7568 integers in the reals.
  7569 
  7570 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7571 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7572 
  7573   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7574   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7575   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7576   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7577   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7578 
  7579 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7580 
  7581 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7582 
  7583 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7584 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7585 
  7586   hypreal = real star
  7587   hypnat = nat star
  7588   hcomplex = complex star
  7589 
  7590 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7591 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7592

  7605   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7606 
  7607 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7608 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7633   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7634 
  7635 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7636 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7637 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7638 
  7639   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7640   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  7727 
  7728 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7729 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7730 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7731 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7732 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7733 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7734 
  7735 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7736 
  7737 
  7738 *** HOLCF ***
  7739 
  7740 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7741 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7742 type-inference.
  7743 
  7744 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7745 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7746 instead of exponential time).
  7747 
  7748 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7749 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7750 
  7751   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7752 
  7753 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7754 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7755 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7756 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7757 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7758 syntax and examples.
  7759 
  7760 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7761 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7762 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7763 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7764 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7765 
  7766 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7767 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7768 
  7769   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7770   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7771   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7772   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7773   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7774   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7775 
  7776 
  7777 *** ZF ***
  7778 
  7779 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7780 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7781 of a homomorphism).
  7782 
  7783 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7784 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7785 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7786 
  7787 
  7788 *** Cube ***
  7789 
  7790 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7791 theories.
  7792 
  7793 
  7794 *** ML ***
  7795 
  7796 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7797 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7798 
  7799 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7800 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7801 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7802 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7803 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7804 
  7805 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7806 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7807 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7808 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7809 
  7810 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7811 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7812 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7813 
  7814     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7815     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7816     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7817     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7818     seq fs = List.app fs
  7819     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7820     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7821 
  7822 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7823 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7824 
  7825   x |> f                f #> g
  7826   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7827 
  7828 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7829 
  7830   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7831   infix 2 ?;
  7832   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7833   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7834 
  7835 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7836 infix operators.
  7837 
  7838 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7839 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7840 example:
  7841 
  7842   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7843     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7844 
  7845   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7846     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7847 
  7848   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7849     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7850 
  7851   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7852     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7853 
  7854 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7855 available:
  7856 
  7857   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7858   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7859   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7860   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7861 
  7862 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7863 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7864 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7865 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7866 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7867 
  7868   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7869   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7870   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7871 
  7872 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7873 
  7874   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7875   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7876 
  7877 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7878 Naive rewrites:
  7879 
  7880   make_keylist = AList.make
  7881   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7882 
  7883 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7884   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7885 
  7886     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7887     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7888 
  7889 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7890   Naive rewrites:
  7891 
  7892     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7893     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7894 
  7895 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7896 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7897 lists.
  7898 
  7899 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7900 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7901 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7902 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7903 
  7904 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7905 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7906 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7907 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7908 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7909 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7910 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7911 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7912 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7913 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7914 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7915 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7916 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7917 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7918 Output.raw have no effect.
  7919 
  7920 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7921 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7922 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7923 
  7924 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7925 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7926 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7927 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7928 
  7929 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7930 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7931 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7932 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7933 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7934 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7935 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7936 
  7937 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7938 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7939 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7940 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7941 
  7942 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7943 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7944 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7945 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7946 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7947 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7948 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7949 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7950 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7951 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7952 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7953 
  7954 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7955 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7956 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7957 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7958 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7959 with earlier declarations.
  7960 
  7961 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7962 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7963 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7964 
  7965 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7966 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7967 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7968 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7969 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7970 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7971 
  7972   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7973     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7974 
  7975   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7976     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7977 
  7978   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7979     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7980     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7981     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7982 
  7983 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7984 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7985 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7986 
  7987 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7988 
  7989 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7990 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7991 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7992 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7993 
  7994 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7995 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7996 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7997 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7998 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7999 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8000 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8001 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8002 
  8003 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8004 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8005 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8006 
  8007 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8008 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8009 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8010 
  8011 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8012 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8013 
  8014   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8015   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8016   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8017   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8018 
  8019 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8020 
  8021 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8022 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8023 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8024 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8025 (both increase the runtime).
  8026 
  8027 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8028 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8029 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8030 
  8031 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8032 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8033 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8034 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8035 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8036 for further details.
  8037 
  8038 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8039 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8040 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8041 scripts for the time being.
  8042 
  8043 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8044 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8045 
  8046   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8047   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8048 
  8049 
  8050 *** System ***
  8051 
  8052 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8053 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8054 
  8055 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8056 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8057 
  8058 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8059 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8060 
  8061 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8062 distribution being used.
  8063 
  8064 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8065 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8066 theories.
  8067 
  8068 
  8069 
  8070 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8071 --------------------------------
  8072 
  8073 *** General ***
  8074 
  8075 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8076   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8077 
  8078 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8079   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8080   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8081   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8082   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8083   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8084   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8085   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8086   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8087   existing theory and ML files.
  8088 
  8089 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8090 
  8091 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8092   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8093   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8094   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8095 
  8096 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8097   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8098   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8099   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8100 
  8101 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8102   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8103   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8104 
  8105 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8106   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8107   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8108   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8109   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8110 
  8111 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8112   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8113 
  8114 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8115   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8116   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8117 
  8118 
  8119 *** Isar ***
  8120 
  8121 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8122   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8123   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8124     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8125     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8126     emulations.
  8127   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8128     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8129     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8130 
  8131 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8132   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8133     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8134     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8135   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8136 
  8137 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8138   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8139   and derived forms.
  8140 
  8141 * Locales:
  8142   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8143     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8144     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8145     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8146   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8147     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8148   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8149     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8150   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8151         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8152     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8153     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8154     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8155     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8156     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8157       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8158     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8159     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8160     with "locale (open)".
  8161       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8162 
  8163 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8164   (Isar) contexts.
  8165 
  8166 
  8167 *** HOL ***
  8168 
  8169 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8170   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8171   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8172   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8173   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8174 
  8175 * Simplifier:
  8176   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8177     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8178     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8179     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8180     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8181   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8182     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8183     is solved by simplification already.
  8184 
  8185 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8186     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8187 
  8188 * Numerics:
  8189   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8190     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8191   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8192     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8193   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8194     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8195     exponentiation).
  8196 
  8197 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8198 
  8199 * Records:
  8200   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8201     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8202     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8203   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8204     (not enabled by default).
  8205   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8206     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8207   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8208 
  8209 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8210   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8211   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8212 
  8213 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8214 
  8215 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8216 
  8217 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8218   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8219 
  8220 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8221   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8222 
  8223 * Unions and Intersections:
  8224   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8225   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8226   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8227   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8228 
  8229 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8230   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8231   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8232   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8233 
  8234 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8235   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8236 
  8237 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8238   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8239 
  8240 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8241   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8242   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8243 
  8244 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8245   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8246   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8247   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8248   for examples.
  8249 
  8250 
  8251 *** HOLCF ***
  8252 
  8253 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8254 
  8255 
  8256 
  8257 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8258 ------------------------------
  8259 
  8260 *** General ***
  8261 
  8262 * Provers/simplifier:
  8263 
  8264   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8265     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8266     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8267     the order of assumptions.
  8268 
  8269     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8270 
  8271     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8272        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8273 
  8274         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8275 
  8276        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8277 
  8278         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8279 
  8280        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8281        kind of problem.
  8282 
  8283     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8284        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8285        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8286        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8287        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8288        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8289        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8290 
  8291   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8292 
  8293   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8294     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8295     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8296     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8297     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8298     the simplifier would diverge.
  8299 
  8300   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8301 
  8302   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8303     congruence is ignored.
  8304 
  8305 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8306   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8307   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8308 
  8309 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8310 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8311    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8312 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8313 
  8314 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8315 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8316       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8317 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8318 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8319 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8320 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8321 
  8322 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8323 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8324 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8325 assumption failed.
  8326 
  8327 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8328 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8329 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8330 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8331 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8332 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8333 on the old view without predicates;
  8334 
  8335 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8336 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8337 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8338 
  8339 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8340 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8341 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8342 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8343 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8344 be given (the default is 40);
  8345 
  8346 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8347 (batch-mode only);
  8348 
  8349 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8350 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8351 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8352 
  8353 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8354 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8355 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8356 
  8357 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8358 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8359 
  8360 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8361 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8362 
  8363 
  8364 *** HOL ***
  8365 
  8366 * arith(_tac)
  8367 
  8368  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8369    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8370    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8371    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8372 
  8373  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8374 
  8375  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8376    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8377    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8378 
  8379 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8380 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8381 
  8382 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8383 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8384 
  8385 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8386 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8387 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8388 
  8389 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8390 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8391 
  8392 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8393 definition;
  8394 
  8395 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8396 Finite_Set);
  8397 
  8398 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8399 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8400 
  8401 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8402   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8403 
  8404 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8405 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8406 of the empty set.
  8407 
  8408 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8409 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8410 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8411 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8412 
  8413 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8414 
  8415 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8416 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8417 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8418 
  8419 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8420 
  8421 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8422 Fleuriot);
  8423 
  8424 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8425 
  8426 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8427 Gray and Kramer);
  8428 
  8429 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8430 
  8431 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8432 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8433 
  8434 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8435 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8436 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8437 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8438 assignment, exceptions.
  8439 
  8440 
  8441 *** ZF ***
  8442 
  8443 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8444 universe, etc.);
  8445 
  8446 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8447 
  8448 
  8449 *** ML ***
  8450 
  8451 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8452 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8453 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8454 
  8455 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8456 
  8457 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8458 up simprocs;
  8459 
  8460 
  8461 *** Document preparation ***
  8462 
  8463 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8464 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8465 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8466 
  8467 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8468 other packages
  8469 
  8470 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8471 broke \Rightarrow)
  8472 
  8473 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8474 textcomp package)
  8475 
  8476 
  8477 
  8478 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8479 --------------------------------
  8480 
  8481 *** Document preparation ***
  8482 
  8483 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8484 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8485 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8486 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8487 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8488 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8489 
  8490 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8491 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8492 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8493 
  8494 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8495 blocks after section headings;
  8496 
  8497 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8498 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8499 
  8500 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8501 better in printed text;
  8502 
  8503 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8504 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8505 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8506 
  8507 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8508 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8509 location;
  8510 
  8511 
  8512 *** Isar ***
  8513 
  8514 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8515   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8516     "case (Suc n)");
  8517   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8518     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8519     instantiation of cases;
  8520   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8521     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8522     rules without further ado;
  8523   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8524     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8525     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8526     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8527     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8528   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8529     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8530     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8531     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8532     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8533     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8534   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8535     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8536     below);
  8537   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8538     success (no backtracking);
  8539   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8540   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8541   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8542     General versions);
  8543   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8544   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8545 
  8546 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8547 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8548 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8549 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8550 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8551 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8552 fails:
  8553 
  8554   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8555 
  8556 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8557 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8558 
  8559 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8560 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8561 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8562 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8563 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8564 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8565 some examples;
  8566 
  8567 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8568 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8569 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8570 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8571 qualified by the locale name);
  8572 
  8573 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8574 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8575 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8576 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8577 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8578 
  8579 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8580 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8581 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8582 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8583 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8584 
  8585 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8586 
  8587 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8588 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8589 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8590 
  8591 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8592 
  8593 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8594 
  8595 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8596 
  8597 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8598 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8599 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8600 
  8601 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8602 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8603 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8604 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8605 proof *scripts*;
  8606 
  8607 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8608 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8609 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8610 especially important for locales);
  8611 
  8612 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8613 mode;
  8614 
  8615 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8616 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8617 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8618 situations;
  8619 
  8620 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8621 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8622 
  8623 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8624 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8625 discontinued;
  8626 
  8627 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8628 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8629 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8630 
  8631 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8632 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8633 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8634 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8635 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8636 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8637 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8638 
  8639 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8640 of introduction rules;
  8641 
  8642 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8643 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8644 conditional rules;
  8645 
  8646 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8647 
  8648 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8649 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8650 
  8651 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8652 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8653 
  8654 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8655 wf_induct_rule;
  8656 
  8657 
  8658 *** HOL ***
  8659 
  8660 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8661 follows:
  8662 
  8663   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8664   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8665 
  8666   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8667   binary representation internally;
  8668 
  8669   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8670   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8671 
  8672 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8673 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8674 
  8675   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8676   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8677   to be spaced properly;
  8678 
  8679   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8680   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8681 
  8682   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8683 
  8684   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8685 
  8686 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8687 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8688 
  8689 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8690 
  8691 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8692 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8693 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8694 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8695 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8696 
  8697 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8698   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8699     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8700     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8701     declared as simp by default;
  8702   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8703     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8704   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8705     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8706   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8707   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8708     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8709     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8710   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8711     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8712 
  8713 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8714 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8715 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8716 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8717 
  8718 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8719 
  8720 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8721         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8722         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8723 
  8724 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8725 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8726 
  8727 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8728 
  8729 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8730 
  8731 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8732 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8733   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8734 
  8735 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8736 in this (rare) case use:
  8737 
  8738   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8739   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8740 
  8741 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8742 MAY FAIL;
  8743 
  8744 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8745 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8746 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8747 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8748 
  8749 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8750 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8751 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8752 
  8753 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8754 expressions;
  8755 
  8756 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8757 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8758 
  8759 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8760 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8761 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8762 
  8763 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8764 
  8765 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8766 the "cases" method);
  8767 
  8768 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8769 Florian Kammller);
  8770 
  8771 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8772 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8773 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8774 
  8775 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8776 
  8777 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8778 
  8779 
  8780 *** HOLCF ***
  8781 
  8782 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8783 operations;
  8784 
  8785 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8786 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8787 
  8788 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8789 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8790 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8791 
  8792 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8793 
  8794 
  8795 *** ZF ***
  8796 
  8797 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8798 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8799 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8800 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8801 
  8802 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8803 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8804 
  8805 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8806 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8807 
  8808 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8809 typeless version of the formalism;
  8810 
  8811 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8812 format;
  8813 
  8814 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8815 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8816 new-style theory format;
  8817 
  8818 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8819 
  8820 
  8821 *** General ***
  8822 
  8823 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8824 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8825 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8826 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8827 
  8828 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8829 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8830 
  8831 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8832 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8833 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8834 properly;
  8835 
  8836 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8837 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8838 
  8839 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8840 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8841 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8842 type variable);
  8843 
  8844 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8845 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8846 "type_brackets";
  8847 
  8848 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8849 tokens into AST constants;
  8850 
  8851 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8852 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8853 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8854 
  8855 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8856 practice);
  8857 
  8858 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8859 addSafter;
  8860 
  8861 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8862 as well;
  8863 
  8864 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8865 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8866 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8867 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8868 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8869 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8870 
  8871 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8872 
  8873 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8874 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8875 
  8876 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8877 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8878 
  8879 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8880 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8881 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8882 
  8883 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8884 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8885 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8886 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8887 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8888 
  8889 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8890 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8891 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8892 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8893 
  8894 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8895 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8896 terminal);
  8897 
  8898 
  8899 
  8900 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8901 -----------------------------------
  8902 
  8903 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8904 
  8905 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8906 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8907 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8908 
  8909 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8910 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8911 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8912 'split_rule (complete)';
  8913 
  8914 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8915 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8916 
  8917 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8918 
  8919 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8920 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8921 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8922 
  8923 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8924 operation;
  8925 
  8926 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8927 
  8928 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8929 
  8930 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8931 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8932 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8933 
  8934 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8935 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8936 
  8937 
  8938 *** Document preparation ***
  8939 
  8940 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8941 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8942 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8943 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8944 type-writer);
  8945 
  8946 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8947 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8948 
  8949 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8950 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8951 
  8952 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8953 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8954 definitions);
  8955 
  8956 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8957 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8958 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8959 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8960 
  8961 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8962 fonts;
  8963 
  8964 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8965 generation;
  8966 
  8967 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8968 
  8969 
  8970 *** Isar ***
  8971 
  8972 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8973 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8974 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8975 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8976 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8977 
  8978 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8979 rules as well;
  8980 
  8981 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8982 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8983 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8984 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8985 
  8986 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8987 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8988 
  8989 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8990 statements as well;
  8991 
  8992 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8993 
  8994 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8995 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8996 
  8997 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8998 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8999 
  9000 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9001 
  9002 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9003 
  9004 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9005 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9006 
  9007 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9008 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9009 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9010 
  9011 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9012 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9013 the result to be shown in each case;
  9014 
  9015 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9016 
  9017 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9018 
  9019 
  9020 *** HOL ***
  9021 
  9022 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9023 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9024 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9025 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9026 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9027 
  9028 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9029 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9030 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9031 
  9032 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9033 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9034 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9035 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9036 literature;
  9037 
  9038 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9039 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9040 operator \<Sum>;
  9041 
  9042 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9043 HOL/subset.thy);
  9044 
  9045 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9046 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9047 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9048 
  9049 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9050 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9051 
  9052 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9053 rules with string literals);
  9054 
  9055 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9056  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9057  functions for the reals;
  9058 
  9059 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9060 
  9061 
  9062 *** CTT ***
  9063 
  9064 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9065 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9066 
  9067 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9068 and Arith);
  9069 
  9070 
  9071 *** General ***
  9072 
  9073 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9074 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9075 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9076 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9077 
  9078 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9079 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9080 
  9081 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9082 as assumptions as well;
  9083 
  9084 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9085 
  9086 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9087 
  9088 
  9089 
  9090 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9091 ----------------------------------
  9092 
  9093 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9094 
  9095 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9096 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9097 issue the following ML commands:
  9098 
  9099   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9100   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9101 
  9102 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9103 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9104 
  9105 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9106 
  9107 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9108 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9109 
  9110   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9111   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9112   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9113   selectI2         -> someI2
  9114   selectI          -> someI
  9115   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9116   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9117   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9118 
  9119 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9120 
  9121 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9122 instead);
  9123 
  9124 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9125 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9126 
  9127 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9128 
  9129 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9130 sometimes be needed;
  9131 
  9132 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9133 
  9134 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9135 
  9136 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9137 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9138 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9139 
  9140 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9141 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9142 
  9143 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9144 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9145 
  9146   syntax (symbols)
  9147     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9148       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9149 
  9150 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9151 
  9152 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9153 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9154 internally;
  9155 
  9156 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9157 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9158 
  9159 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9160 proofs;
  9161 
  9162 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9163 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9164 
  9165 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9166 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9167 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9168 "rule del";
  9169 
  9170 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9171 
  9172 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9173 
  9174 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9175 lib/texinputs);
  9176 
  9177 
  9178 *** Document preparation ***
  9179 
  9180 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9181 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9182 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9183 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9184 
  9185 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9186 including proper document sources;
  9187 
  9188 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9189 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9190 of isatool usedir;
  9191 
  9192 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9193 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9194 LaTeX debugging;
  9195 
  9196 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9197 
  9198 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9199 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9200 graph for 'all sessions';
  9201 
  9202 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9203 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9204 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9205 
  9206 
  9207 *** Isar ***
  9208 
  9209 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9210 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9211 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9212 
  9213 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9214 generalized existence reasoning;
  9215 
  9216 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9217 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9218 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9219 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9220 premises;
  9221 
  9222 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9223 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9224 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9225 to theorems as "tags";
  9226 
  9227 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9228 class/type/const name spaces;
  9229 
  9230 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9231 indicate potential overloading;
  9232 
  9233 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9234 
  9235 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9236 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9237 
  9238 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9239 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9240 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9241 
  9242 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9243 case name 'antecedent';
  9244 
  9245 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9246 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9247 
  9248 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9249 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9250 
  9251 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9252 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9253 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9254 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9255 
  9256 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9257 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9258 
  9259 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9260 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9261 well (including splits);
  9262 
  9263 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9264 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9265 
  9266 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9267 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9268 
  9269 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9270 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9271 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9272 
  9273 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9274 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9275 calculations;
  9276 
  9277 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9278 method anyway;
  9279 
  9280 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9281 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9282 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9283 
  9284 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9285 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9286 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9287 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9288 
  9289 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9290 
  9291 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9292 
  9293 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9294 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9295 proof states;
  9296 
  9297 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9298 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9299 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9300 
  9301 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9302 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9303 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9304 (for HOL datatypes);
  9305 
  9306 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9307 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9308 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9309 
  9310 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9311 
  9312 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9313 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9314 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9315 
  9316 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9317 
  9318 
  9319 *** HOL ***
  9320 
  9321 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9322 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9323 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9324 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9325 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9326 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9327 
  9328 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9329 Clemens Ballarin;
  9330 
  9331 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9332 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9333 Rasmussen;
  9334 
  9335 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9336 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9337 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9338 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9339 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9340 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9341 
  9342 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9343 von Oheimb;
  9344 
  9345 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9346 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9347 
  9348 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9349 
  9350 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9351 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9352 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9353 
  9354 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9355 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9356 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9357 
  9358 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9359 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9360 
  9361 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9362 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9363 
  9364 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9365    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9366    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9367   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9368     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9369   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9370     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9371 
  9372 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9373 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9374 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9375 
  9376 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9377 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9378 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9379 
  9380 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9381 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9382 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9383 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9384 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9385 
  9386 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9387 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9388 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9389 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9390 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9391 each equation;
  9392 
  9393 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9394 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9395 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9396 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9397 
  9398 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9399 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9400 
  9401 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9402 
  9403 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9404 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9405 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9406 
  9407 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9408 
  9409 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9410 main HOL, but was unused);
  9411 
  9412 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9413 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9414 
  9415 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9416 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9417 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9418 bogus);
  9419 
  9420 
  9421 *** ZF ***
  9422 
  9423 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9424 expressions over nat and int;
  9425 
  9426 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9427 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9428 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9429 
  9430 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9431 using the function intify;
  9432 
  9433 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9434 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9435 
  9436 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9437 simplification;
  9438 
  9439 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9440 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9441 
  9442 
  9443 *** General ***
  9444 
  9445 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9446 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9447 
  9448 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9449 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9450 
  9451 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9452 explicit make_elim);
  9453 
  9454 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9455   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9456 use instead the strong form,
  9457   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9458 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9459 from destruct-rules;
  9460 
  9461 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9462 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9463 
  9464 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9465 
  9466 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9467 for hiding of names;
  9468 
  9469 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9470 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9471 situations;
  9472 
  9473 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9474 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9475 Poly/ML);
  9476 
  9477 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9478 useful for remote X11);
  9479 
  9480 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9481 
  9482 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9483 order;
  9484 
  9485 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9486 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9487 
  9488 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9489 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9490 
  9491 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9492 overloading (usually false);
  9493 
  9494 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9495 results;
  9496 
  9497 
  9498 
  9499 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9500 --------------------------------
  9501 
  9502 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9503 
  9504 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9505 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9506 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9507 
  9508     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9509 
  9510 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9511 complement;
  9512 
  9513 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9514 
  9515 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9516   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9517 
  9518 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9519 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9520 
  9521 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9522 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9523 
  9524 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9525 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9526 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9527 
  9528 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9529 
  9530 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9531         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9532 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9533 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9534         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9535 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9536 
  9537 
  9538 *** Proof tools ***
  9539 
  9540 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9541 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9542 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9543 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9544 
  9545 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9546      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9547   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9548   matching.
  9549 
  9550 
  9551 *** General ***
  9552 
  9553 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9554 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9555 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9556 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9557 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9558 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9559 
  9560 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9561 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9562 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9563 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9564 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9565 
  9566 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9567 Isabelle/Isar;
  9568 
  9569 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9570 using the graph browser tool;
  9571 
  9572 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9573 
  9574 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9575 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9576 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9577 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9578 isatool doc ref);
  9579 
  9580 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9581 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9582 
  9583 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9584 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9585 
  9586 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9587 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9588 Isabelle;
  9589 
  9590 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9591 
  9592 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9593 empty;
  9594 
  9595 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9596 long arrows);
  9597 
  9598 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9599 
  9600 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9601 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9602 
  9603 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9604 mode and goal output format:
  9605 
  9606 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9607 244c244
  9608 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9609 ---
  9610 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9611 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9612 181c181
  9613 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9614 ---
  9615 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9616 
  9617 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9618 
  9619 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9620 
  9621 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9622 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9623 result still apply;
  9624 
  9625 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9626 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9627 
  9628 
  9629 *** HOL ***
  9630 
  9631 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9632 
  9633 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9634 int:
  9635 
  9636 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9637 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9638 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9639 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9640 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9641 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9642 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9643 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9644 
  9645 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9646 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9647 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9648 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9649 simplifier.
  9650 
  9651 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9652 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9653 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9654 
  9655 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9656 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9657 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9658 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9659 type constraints;
  9660 
  9661 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9662 arguments;
  9663 
  9664 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9665 are now available;
  9666 
  9667 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9668 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9669 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9670 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9671 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9672   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9673 
  9674 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9675 
  9676 
  9677 ** HOL misc **
  9678 
  9679 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9680 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9681 
  9682 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9683 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9684 
  9685 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9686 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9687 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9688 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9689 
  9690 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9691   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9692   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9693   "mono" attribute);
  9694 
  9695 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9696   (using function types) such as
  9697 
  9698   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9699 
  9700 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9701 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9702 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9703 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9704 
  9705   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9706   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9707 
  9708 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9709 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9710 
  9711 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9712 names rather than an ML expression;
  9713 
  9714 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9715 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9716     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9717 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9718 
  9719 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9720 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9721 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9722 
  9723 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9724 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9725 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9726 
  9727 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9728 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9729 
  9730 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9731 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9732 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9733 
  9734 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9735 
  9736 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9737 thus available for user theories;
  9738 
  9739 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9740 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9741 time;
  9742 
  9743 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9744 several times and then mp;
  9745 
  9746 
  9747 *** LK ***
  9748 
  9749 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9750 formulas;
  9751 
  9752 * the simplifier is now installed
  9753 
  9754 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9755 
  9756 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9757 
  9758 
  9759 *** ZF ***
  9760 
  9761 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9762 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9763 
  9764 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9765 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9766 
  9767 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9768 
  9769 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9770 constructors;
  9771 
  9772 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9773 type-checking rules;
  9774 
  9775 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9776 to the claset;
  9777 
  9778 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9779 if(P,x,y);
  9780 
  9781 
  9782 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9783 
  9784 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9785 
  9786 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9787 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9788 
  9789 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9790 
  9791 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9792 printing empty lines;
  9793 
  9794 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9795 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9796 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9797 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9798 
  9799 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9800 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9801 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9802 
  9803 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9804 now of type real instead of int;
  9805 
  9806 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9807 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9808 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9809 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9810 
  9811 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9812 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9813 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9814 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9815 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9816 
  9817 
  9818 
  9819 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9820 ----------------------------------
  9821 
  9822 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9823 
  9824 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9825 
  9826 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9827 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9828 
  9829 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9830 called `inj_on';
  9831 
  9832 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9833   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9834   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9835 
  9836 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9837 required);
  9838 
  9839 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9840 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9841 now taken as an integer constant.
  9842 
  9843 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9844 
  9845 
  9846 *** Proof tools ***
  9847 
  9848 * Simplifier:
  9849   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9850      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9851         simplify.
  9852      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9853         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9854      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9855      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9856   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9857 
  9858 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9859 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9860 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9861 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9862 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9863 one (emitting a warning).
  9864   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9865   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9866   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9867   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9868   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9869 
  9870 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9871 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9872 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9873 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9874 by Force_tac;
  9875 
  9876 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9877 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9878 
  9879 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9880 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9881 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9882 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9883 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9884 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9885 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9886 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9887 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9888 
  9889 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9890 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9891 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9892 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9893 
  9894 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9895 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9896 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9897 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9898 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9899 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9900 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9901 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9902 t is the name of the datatype).
  9903 
  9904 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9905 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9906 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9907 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9908 
  9909 
  9910 *** General ***
  9911 
  9912 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9913 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9914 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9915 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9916 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9917 (backup your sources first!);
  9918 
  9919 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9920 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9921 
  9922 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9923 definitions that have local scope;
  9924 
  9925 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9926 
  9927 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9928 (e.g. package initialization);
  9929 
  9930 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9931 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9932 
  9933 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9934 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9935 
  9936 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9937 
  9938 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9939 
  9940 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9941 
  9942 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9943 
  9944 
  9945 *** HOL ***
  9946 
  9947 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9948 
  9949 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9950 definitions such as
  9951 
  9952   inductive EVEN ODD
  9953     intrs
  9954       null "0 : EVEN"
  9955       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9956       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9957 
  9958 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9959 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9960 correctly (also ZF);
  9961 
  9962 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9963 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9964 contained in "induct";
  9965 
  9966 
  9967 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9968 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9969 
  9970   datatype
  9971     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9972             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9973             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9974             | NUM 'a
  9975   and
  9976     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9977             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9978             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9979 
  9980 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9981 
  9982   datatype
  9983     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9984                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9985 
  9986 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9987 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9988 
  9989 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9990 <function_name>.simps.
  9991 
  9992 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9993 
  9994   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9995     ancestor.
  9996   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9997     generic induct_tac instead.
  9998   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9999     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10000     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10001     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10002   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10003     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10004   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10005     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10006     sort constraints.
 10007   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10008     of recursive argument.
 10009 
 10010 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10011 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10012 
 10013 
 10014 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10015 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10016 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10017 support is as follows:
 10018 
 10019   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10020 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10021 
 10022   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10023 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10024 
 10025   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10026 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10027 
 10028 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10029 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10030 the name of your record type.
 10031 
 10032 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10033 
 10034   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10035 
 10036 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10037 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10038 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10039 solve record problems automatically.
 10040 
 10041 
 10042 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10043 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10044 
 10045 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10046 
 10047 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10048 
 10049 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10050 
 10051 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10052 
 10053 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10054 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10055 with add/delsplits);
 10056 
 10057 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10058 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10059 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10060 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10061 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10062 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10063 %u.f();
 10064 
 10065 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10066 makes more sense);
 10067 
 10068 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10069   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10070   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10071 
 10072 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10073 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10074 literature);
 10075 
 10076 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10077 the well-founded relation;
 10078 
 10079 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10080     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10081     release ONLY.
 10082 
 10083 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10084     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10085 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10086 
 10087 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10088 
 10089 * HOL/List:
 10090   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10091     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10092   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10093     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10094     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10095   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10096 
 10097 * HOL/Arith:
 10098   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10099   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10100   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10101   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10102 
 10103 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10104 instead of "inverse";
 10105 
 10106 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10107   of the multiset ordering;
 10108 
 10109 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10110   (not included by default);
 10111 
 10112 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10113 
 10114 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10115   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10116 
 10117 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10118   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10119   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10120 
 10121 
 10122 *** ZF ***
 10123 
 10124 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10125   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10126 
 10127 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10128   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10129   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10130 
 10131 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10132     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10133   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10134 
 10135 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10136 
 10137 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10138   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10139   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10140 
 10141 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10142     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10143 
 10144 
 10145 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10146 
 10147 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10148 also src/Pure/README;
 10149 
 10150 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10151 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10152 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10153 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10154 
 10155 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10156 are qualified by default;
 10157 
 10158 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10159 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10160 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10161 
 10162 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10163 cterm -> thm;
 10164 
 10165 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10166 subgoal;
 10167 
 10168 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10169 
 10170 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10171 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10172 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10173 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10174 for example;
 10175 
 10176 
 10177 
 10178 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10179 --------------------------------
 10180 
 10181 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10182 
 10183 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10184 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10185 
 10186 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10187 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10188 
 10189 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10190 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10191 
 10192 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10193 
 10194 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10195 
 10196 
 10197 *** General Changes ***
 10198 
 10199 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10200 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10201 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10202 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10203 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10204 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10205 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10206 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10207 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10208 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10209 section;
 10210 
 10211 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10212 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10213 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10214 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10215 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10216 
 10217 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10218 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10219 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10220 
 10221 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10222 conditional equations;
 10223 
 10224 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10225 
 10226 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10227 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10228 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10229 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10230 
 10231 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10232 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10233 
 10234 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10235 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10236 
 10237 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10238 show_types);
 10239 
 10240 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10241 
 10242 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10243 
 10244 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10245 
 10246 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10247 
 10248 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10249 
 10250 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10251     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10252 
 10253 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10254 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10255 
 10256 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10257 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10258 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10259 
 10260 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10261 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10262 
 10263 
 10264 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10265 
 10266 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10267 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10268 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10269 
 10270 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10271 
 10272 
 10273 *** Simplifier ***
 10274 
 10275 * added simplification meta rules:
 10276     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10277 
 10278 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10279 logics (again);
 10280 
 10281 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10282 
 10283 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10284   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10285   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10286 
 10287 
 10288 *** Syntax ***
 10289 
 10290 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10291 
 10292 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10293 
 10294 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10295 
 10296 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10297 
 10298 
 10299 *** HOL ***
 10300 
 10301 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10302   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10303 
 10304 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10305 
 10306 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10307   protocol TLS;
 10308 
 10309 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10310 
 10311 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10312 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10313 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10314 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10315 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10316 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10317 
 10318 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10319   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10320   are rewritten to
 10321   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10322   and those of the form
 10323   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10324   are rewritten to
 10325   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10326 
 10327 * HOL/datatype
 10328   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10329 
 10330   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10331      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10332         ...
 10333        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10334      )
 10335 
 10336   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10337 
 10338   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10339     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10340         ...
 10341        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10342      )
 10343   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10344   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10345   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10346 
 10347 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10348   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10349     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10350     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10351   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10352     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10353     `standard'.
 10354 
 10355 * HOL/Lists:
 10356   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10357   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10358   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10359 
 10360 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10361 
 10362 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10363   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10364 
 10365 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10366 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10367 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10368 
 10369 
 10370 *** HOLCF ***
 10371 
 10372 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10373 
 10374 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10375   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10376 
 10377 * domain package:
 10378   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10379   . creates hierachical name space,
 10380   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10381   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10382   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10383   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10384   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10385     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10386 
 10387 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10388 
 10389 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10390 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10391 
 10392 
 10393 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10394 
 10395 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10396   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10397 
 10398 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10399 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10400 
 10401 
 10402 
 10403 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10404 ------------------------------
 10405 
 10406 *** General Changes ***
 10407 
 10408 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10409 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10410 
 10411 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10412 
 10413 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10414 
 10415 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10416 messages and clean internal interface;
 10417 
 10418 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10419 setting goals_limit);
 10420 
 10421 
 10422 *** Syntax ***
 10423 
 10424 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10425 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10426 
 10427 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10428 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10429 "symbols" syntax table;
 10430 
 10431 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10432 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10433 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10434 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10435 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10436 
 10437 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10438 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10439 version of xterm);
 10440 
 10441 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10442 
 10443 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10444 access type of constant);
 10445 
 10446 
 10447 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10448 
 10449 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10450 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10451   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10452   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10453         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10454   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10455   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10456     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10457   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10458 
 10459 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10460 assumptions;
 10461 
 10462 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10463 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10464 (and access functions for it);
 10465 
 10466 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10467   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10468   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10469     safe steps.
 10470   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10471     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10472     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10473 
 10474 *** Simplifier ***
 10475 
 10476 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10477 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10478 redex);
 10479 
 10480 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10481 
 10482 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10483 
 10484 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10485 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10486 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10487 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10488 
 10489 
 10490 *** HOL ***
 10491 
 10492 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10493 also for type `nat';
 10494 
 10495 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10496 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10497 
 10498 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10499 
 10500 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10501 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10502 
 10503 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10504 
 10505 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10506 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10507 
 10508 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10509 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10510 
 10511 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10512 infinite lists;
 10513 
 10514 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10515 
 10516 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10517 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10518 
 10519 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10520 
 10521 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10522 
 10523 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10524 
 10525 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10526 
 10527 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10528   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10529   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10530   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10531   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10532   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10533   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10534   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10535   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10536 
 10537 
 10538 *** ZF ***
 10539 
 10540 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10541 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10542 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10543 
 10544 
 10545 
 10546 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10547 ---------------------------------
 10548 
 10549 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10550 
 10551 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10552 
 10553 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10554 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10555 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10556 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10557 
 10558 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10559 
 10560 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10561 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10562 
 10563 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10564 
 10565 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10566 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10567 
 10568 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10569 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10570 
 10571 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10572 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10573 
 10574 
 10575 
 10576 New in Isabelle94-6
 10577 -------------------
 10578 
 10579 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10580 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10581 
 10582 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10583 
 10584 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10585 
 10586 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10587 
 10588 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10589 
 10590 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10591 
 10592 
 10593 
 10594 New in Isabelle94-5
 10595 -------------------
 10596 
 10597 * reduced space requirements;
 10598 
 10599 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10600 
 10601 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10602 
 10603 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10604 
 10605 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10606 
 10607 
 10608 
 10609 New in Isabelle94-4
 10610 -------------------
 10611 
 10612 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10613 
 10614 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10615 
 10616 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10617 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10618 
 10619 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10620 Axiom of Choice;
 10621 
 10622 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10623 
 10624 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10625 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10626 
 10627 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10628 
 10629 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10630 translates to the operator "split";
 10631 
 10632 
 10633 
 10634 New in Isabelle94-3
 10635 -------------------
 10636 
 10637 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10638 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10639         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10640 
 10641 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10642 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10643 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10644 
 10645 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10646 
 10647 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10648 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10649 
 10650 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10651 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10652 
 10653 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10654 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10655 
 10656 
 10657 
 10658 New in Isabelle94-2
 10659 -------------------
 10660 
 10661 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10662 
 10663 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10664 freely;
 10665 
 10666 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10667 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10668 
 10669 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10670 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10671 (theory_of_thm);
 10672 
 10673 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10674 
 10675 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10676 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10677 
 10678 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10679 have been removed;
 10680 
 10681 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10682 
 10683 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10684 
 10685 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10686 types;
