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

   281     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   282 
   283 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   284 
   285 * New (co)datatype package:
   286   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.
   287   - Command 'datatype_new' generates size functions ("size_xxx" and
   288     "size") as required by 'fun'.
   289   - BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style
   290     (co)datatypes with Transfer.
   291   - Renamed commands:
   292       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   293       primrec_new ~> primrec
   294       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   295     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   296   - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   297     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   298     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   299   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   300     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   301     using "prim(co)rec".
   302     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   303   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   304     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   305     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   306   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   307     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   308     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   309     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   310 
   311 * Old datatype package:
   312   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   313     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   314     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   315   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   316     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   317     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   318 
   319 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
   320   their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
   321   BNF-based datatype package.
   322 
   323   Renamed constants:
   324     Option.set ~> set_option
   325     Option.map ~> map_option
   326     option_rel ~> rel_option
   327 
   328   Renamed theorems:

   338     the.simps ~> option.sel
   339 
   340 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   341 
   342 * The following map functions and relators have been renamed:

   352     vset ~> rel_vset (in "src/HOL/Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   353 
   354 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   355 
   356 * Lifting and Transfer:
   357   - a type variable as a raw type is supported
   358   - stronger reflexivity prover
   359   - rep_eq is always generated by lift_definition
   360   - setup for Lifting/Transfer is now automated for BNFs
   361     + holds for BNFs that do not contain a dead variable
   362     + relator_eq, relator_mono, relator_distr, relator_domain,
   363       relator_eq_onp, quot_map, transfer rules for bi_unique, bi_total,
   364       right_unique, right_total, left_unique, left_total are proved
   365       automatically
   366     + definition of a predicator is generated automatically
   367     + simplification rules for a predicator definition are proved
   368       automatically for datatypes
   369   - consolidation of the setup of Lifting/Transfer
   370     + property that a relator preservers reflexivity is not needed any
   371       more
   372       Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   373     + left_total and left_unique rules are now transfer rules
   374       (reflexivity_rule attribute not needed anymore)
   375       INCOMPATIBILITY.
   376     + Domainp does not have to be a separate assumption in
   377       relator_domain theorems (=> more natural statement)
   378       INCOMPATIBILITY.
   379   - registration of code equations is more robust
   380     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   381   - respectfulness proof obligation is preprocessed to a more readable
   382     form
   383     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   384   - eq_onp is always unfolded in respectfulness proof obligation
   385     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   386   - unregister lifting setup for Code_Numeral.integer and
   387     Code_Numeral.natural
   388     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   389   - Lifting.invariant -> eq_onp
   390     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   391 
   392 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   393 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   394 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   395 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   396 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   397 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   398 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   399 
   400 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   401 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   402 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   403 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   404 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   405 
   406 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   407 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   408 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   409 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   410 
   411 * Sledgehammer:
   412   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   413   - MaSh overhaul:
   414     . New SML-based learning algorithms eliminate the dependency on
   415       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   416     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the

   426 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   427 
   428 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   429 
   430 * Nitpick:
   431   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   432     take infinite values.
   433   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   434     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   435   - Removed "std" option.
   436   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   437     "hide_types".
   438 
   439 * Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
   440 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   441 
   442 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   443 
   444 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   445   - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   446   - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
   447     SUP instead uniformly.
   448   - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   449     or SUP and Sup.
   450   - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   451   - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   452   - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
   453     simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
   454     INT_cong, SUP_cong
   455 
   456 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   457 
   458 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.

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

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

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

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

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

   909       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   910 
   911     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.
   912

   967     lebesgue_integral_nonneg

   969     lebesgue_integral_cmult

   971     lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
   972     integral_cmul_indicator
   973     integral_real
   974 
   975   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   976     distributed random variables.
   977 
   978 * HOL-Decision_Procs: Separate command 'approximate' for approximative
   979 computation in src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor
   980 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   981 
   982 
   983 *** Scala ***
   984 
   985 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   986 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   987 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   988 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   989 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   990 
   991 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   992 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   993 
   994 
   995 *** ML ***
   996 
   997 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   998 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   999 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
  1000 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
  1001 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
  1002 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
  1003 
  1004 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
  1005 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
  1006 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
  1007 actually belongs to it).
  1008 
  1009 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
  1010 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
  1011 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
  1012 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
  1013 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
  1014 of schematic variables.
  1015 
  1016 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
  1017 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1018 
  1019 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
  1020 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
  1021 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1022 
  1023 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
  1024 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1025 
  1026 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
  1027 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
  1028 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
  1029 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1030 
  1031 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
  1032 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1033 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
  1034 formal context.
  1035 
  1036 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
  1037 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1038 
  1039 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
  1040 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
  1041 
  1042 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
  1043 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
  1044 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
  1045 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
  1046 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
  1047 
  1048 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
  1049 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
  1050 purposes.
  1051 
  1052 
  1053 *** System ***
  1054 
  1055 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
  1056 Isabelle component, e.g. see ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
  1057 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  Note that
  1058 the "system" manual provides general explanations about add-on
  1059 components, especially those that are not bundled with the release.
  1060 
  1061 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
  1062 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
  1063 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
  1064 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
  1065 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the ISABELLE_PROCESS
  1066 settings variable.
  1067 
  1068 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
  1069 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
  1070 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
  1071 
  1072 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
  1073 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
  1074 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
  1075 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
  1076 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
  1077 
  1078 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
  1079 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
  1080 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
  1081 
  1082 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
  1083 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
  1084 
  1085 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
  1086 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
  1087 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
  1088 
  1089 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
  1090 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
  1091 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
  1092 processing is started.
  1093 
  1094 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
  1095 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
  1096 
  1097 
  1098 
  1099 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
  1100 -------------------------------------
  1101 
  1102 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1103 
  1104 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
  1105 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
  1106 
  1107 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
  1108 after edits surrounding the command location.
  1109 
  1110 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
  1111 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
  1112 e.g. out-of-memory).
  1113 
  1114 
  1115 *** System ***
  1116 
  1117 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
  1118 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
  1119 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
  1120 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
  1121 
  1122 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
  1123 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
  1124 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
  1125 
  1126 
  1127 
  1128 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
  1129 -------------------------------------
  1130 
  1131 *** General ***
  1132 
  1133 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
  1134 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
  1135 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1136 
  1137 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1138 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1139 
  1140 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1141 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1142 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1143 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1144 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1145 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1146 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1147 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1148 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1149 syntax.
  1150 
  1151 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1152 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1153 
  1154 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1155 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1156 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1157 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1158 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1159 
  1160 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1161 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1162 
  1163 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1164 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1165 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1166 
  1167 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1168 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1169 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1170 
  1171 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1172 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1173 
  1174 
  1175 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1176 
  1177 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1178 Documentation panel.
  1179 
  1180 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1181 documentation.
  1182 
  1183 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1184 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1185 
  1186 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1187 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1188 normal editing and checking process.
  1189 
  1190 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1191 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1192 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1193 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1194 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1195 
  1196 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1197 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1198 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1199 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1200 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1201 
  1202 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1203 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1204 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1205 
  1206 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1207 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1208 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1209 to resolve conflict.
  1210 
  1211 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1212 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1213 
  1214 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1215 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1216 such command executions while editing.
  1217 
  1218 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1219 document content.
  1220 
  1221 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1222 toplevel theorem statements.
  1223 
  1224 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1225 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1226 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1227 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1228 
  1229 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1230 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1231 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1232 
  1233 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1234 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1235 
  1236 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1237 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1238 
  1239 
  1240 *** Pure ***
  1241 
  1242 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1243 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1244 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1245 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1246 details.
  1247 
  1248 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1249 
  1250 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1251 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1252 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1253 
  1254 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1255 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1256 
  1257 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1258 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1259 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1260 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1261 
  1262 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1263 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1264 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1265 
  1266 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1267 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1268 
  1269 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1270 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1271 situations.
  1272 
  1273 
  1274 *** HOL ***
  1275 
  1276 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1277 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1278 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1279 
  1280 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1281 
  1282 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1283 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1284 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1285 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1286 
  1287   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1288 
  1289 * Code generator:
  1290   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1291     'code_instance'.
  1292   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1293     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1294 
  1295 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1296 examples.
  1297 
  1298 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1299 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1300 to distinguish both when desired.
  1301 
  1302 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1303 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1304 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1305 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1306 
  1307 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1308 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1309 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1310 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1311 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1312 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1313 
  1314 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1315 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1316 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1317 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1318 
  1319 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1320 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1321 
  1322 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1323 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1324 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1325 
  1326 * Lifting:
  1327   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1328     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1329       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1330       transfer rules
  1331     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1332       correspondence relation can be generated
  1333     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1334       parametricity
  1335     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1336   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1337   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1338     copies
  1339   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1340     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1341     anonymous context)
  1342   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1343     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1344   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1345     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1346   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1347     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1348 
  1349 * Transfer:
  1350   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1351     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1352   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1353   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1354     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1355   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1356 
  1357 * Reification and reflection:
  1358   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1359     "Reification".
  1360   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1361   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1362 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1363 
  1364 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1365   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1366     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1367     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1368   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1369     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1370   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1371     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1372     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1373     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1374     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1375     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1376     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1377     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1378   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1379     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1380   - Fact renames:
  1381       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1382       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1383 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1384 
  1385 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1386 
  1387 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1388 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1389 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1390 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1391 
  1392 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1393 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1394 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1395 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1396 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1397 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1398 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1399 lemmas.
  1400 
  1401 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1402 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1403 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1404 
  1405 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1406 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1407 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1408 
  1409 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1410 top and bottom elements.
  1411 
  1412 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1413 
  1414 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1415 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1416 
  1417  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1418    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1419    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1420 
  1421  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1422    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1423    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1424 
  1425    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1426    arbitrary filter.
  1427 
  1428  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1429    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1430    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1431    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1432    on a compact set.
  1433 
  1434  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1435    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1436    linear_continuum_topology).
  1437 
  1438  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1439    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1440    on all sequences converging to x.
  1441 
  1442  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1443    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1444    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1445    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1446    left or right.
  1447 
  1448  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1449 
  1450      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1451 
  1452  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1453    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1454 
  1455  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1456    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1457    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1458    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1459    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1460    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1461 
  1462  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1463 
  1464    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1465 
  1466    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1467      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1468 
  1469    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1470 
  1471    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1472      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1473 
  1474    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1475 
  1476    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1477 
  1478  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1479 
  1480 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1481 
  1482 * Nitpick:
  1483   - Added option "spy".
  1484   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1485 
  1486 * Sledgehammer:
  1487   - Renamed option:
  1488       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1489     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1490   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1491   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1492   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1493 
  1494 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1495 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1496 
  1497 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1498   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1499   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1500     generated code.
  1501   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1502   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1503   - Fact renames:
  1504     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1505     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1506     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1507 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1508 
  1509 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1510 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1511 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1512 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1513 
  1514 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1515 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1516 
  1517 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1518 
  1519 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1520 
  1521     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1522     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1523 
  1524 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1525 
  1526 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1527 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1528 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1529 
  1530 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1531 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1532 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1533 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1534 
  1535 * HOL-BNF:
  1536   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1537     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1538     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1539     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1540   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1541     coinduct).
  1542   - Renamed keywords:
  1543     data ~> datatype_new
  1544     codata ~> codatatype
  1545     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1546   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1547     discs ~> disc
  1548     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1549     map_id' ~> map_id
  1550     sels ~> sel
  1551     set_map' ~> set_map
  1552     sets ~> set
  1553 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1554 
  1555 
  1556 *** ML ***
  1557 
  1558 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1559 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1560 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1561 Examples.thy in particular.
  1562 
  1563 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1564 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1565 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1566 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1567 
  1568 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1569 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1570 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1571 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1572 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1573 
  1574 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1575 
  1576     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1577     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1578 
  1579 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1580 
  1581 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1582 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1583 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1584 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1585 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1586 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1587 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1588 
  1589 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1590 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1591 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1592 clasets separately from the context.
  1593 
  1594 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1595 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1596 
  1597 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1598 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1599 
  1600 
  1601 *** System ***
  1602 
  1603 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1604 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1605 
  1606 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1607 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1608 
  1609 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1610 settings variable.
  1611 
  1612 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1613 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1614 always pdf.
  1615 
  1616 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1617 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1618 
  1619 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1620 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1621 
  1622 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1623 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1624 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1625 
  1626 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1627 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1628 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1629 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1630 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1631 for HTML presentation of theories.

  1635 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1636 -----------------------------------
  1637 
  1638 *** General ***
  1639 
  1640 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1641 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1642 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1643 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1644 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1645 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1646 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1647 
  1648 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1649 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1650 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1651 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1652 
  1653 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1654 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1655 
  1656 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1657 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1658 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1659 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1660 dependencies properly.
  1661 
  1662 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1663 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1664 
  1665 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1666 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1667 
  1668 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1669 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1670 and "class ... context ...".
  1671 
  1672 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1673 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1674 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1675 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1676 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1677 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1678 
  1679 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1680 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1681 
  1682 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1683 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1684 
  1685 
  1686 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1687 
  1688 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1689 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1690 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1691 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1692 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1693 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1694 
  1695 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1696 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1697 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1698 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1699 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1700 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1701 
  1702 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1703 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1704 browser on demand.
  1705 
  1706 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1707 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1708 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1709 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1710 
  1711 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1712 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1713 
  1714 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1715 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1716 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1717 potentially infinite message streams.
  1718 
  1719 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1720 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1721 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1722 schemes.
  1723 
  1724 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1725 symbols.
  1726 
  1727 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1728 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1729 
  1730 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1731 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1732 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1733 
  1734 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1735 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1736 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1737 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1738 
  1739 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1740 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1741 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1742 
  1743 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1744 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1745 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1746 Isabelle distribution.
  1747 
  1748 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1749 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1750 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1751 
  1752 
  1753 *** Pure ***
  1754 
  1755 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1756 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1757 
  1758 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1759 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1760 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1761 
  1762 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1763 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1764 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1765 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1766 with some care where this is really required.
  1767 
  1768 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1769 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1770 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1771 
  1772   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1773 
  1774 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1775 a Hasse diagram.
  1776 
  1777 
  1778 *** HOL ***
  1779 
  1780 * Sledgehammer:
  1781 
  1782   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1783     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1784   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1785   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1786   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1787   - Renamed options:
  1788       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1789       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1790       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1791       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1792 
  1793 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1794 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1795 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1796 
  1797 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1798 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1799 
  1800 * Lifting:
  1801   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1802   - quot_del attribute
  1803   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1804 
  1805 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1806 expressions.
  1807 
  1808 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1809 pointfree expressions.
  1810 
  1811 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1812 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1813 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1814 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1815 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1816 
  1817 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1818 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1819 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1820 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1821 accordingly.
  1822 
  1823 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1824 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1825 
  1826 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1827 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1828 
  1829 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1830 
  1831 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1832 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1833 
  1834 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1835 
  1836 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1837 
  1838   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1839   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1840 
  1841 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1842 
  1843 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1844 
  1845   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1846   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1847 
  1848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1849 
  1850 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1851 
  1852   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1853     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1854     output f x converges to G.
  1855 
  1856   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1857     infinity (at_bot).
  1858 
  1859   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1860     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1861 
  1862   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1863     at_top".
  1864 
  1865 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1866 
  1867 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1868 lattice type classes.
  1869 
  1870 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1871 
  1872     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1873     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1874 
  1875 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1876 
  1877 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1878 changes as follows.
  1879 
  1880   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1881 
  1882       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1883       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1884 
  1885   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1886     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1887     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1888     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1889 
  1890   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1891     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1892     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1893 
  1894   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1895     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1896     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1897     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1898 
  1899   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1900     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1901 
  1902       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1903       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1904       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1905       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1906       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1907       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1908       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1909       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1910       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1911       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1912       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1913       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1914       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1915       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1916       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1917       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1918 
  1919 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1920 
  1921 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1922 
  1923 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1924 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1925 
  1926 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1927 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1928 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1929 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1930 
  1931   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1932   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1933   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1934   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1935   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1936   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1937   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1938   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1939   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1940   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1941 
  1942 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1943 
  1944 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1945 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1946 Data").
  1947 
  1948 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1949 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1950 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1951 code.
  1952 
  1953 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1954 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1955 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1956 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1957 
  1958 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1959 
  1960 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1961 
  1962 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1963 
  1964   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1965   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1966 
  1967 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1968 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1969 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1970 
  1971   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1972 
  1973     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1974     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1975     cart_base i  removed
  1976     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1977 
  1978   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1979 
  1980   Renamed lemmas:
  1981 
  1982     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1983     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1984     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1985     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1986     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1987     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1988     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1989     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1990     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1991     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1992 
  1993 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1994 
  1995 * HOL/Probability:
  1996 
  1997   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1998 
  1999   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  2000     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  2001     (borel_measurable_induct).
  2002 
  2003   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  2004     projective family).
  2005 
  2006 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  2007 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  2008 
  2009 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  2010 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  2011 datatypes.
  2012 
  2013 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  2014 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  2015 
  2016 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  2017 trees for the code generator.
  2018 
  2019 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  2020 Lifting/Transfer.
  2021 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2022 
  2023 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  2024 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2025 
  2026 
  2027 *** Document preparation ***
  2028 
  2029 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  2030 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  2031 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  2032 
  2033 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  2034 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  2035 
  2036 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  2037 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  2038 document/root.tex.
  2039 
  2040 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  2041 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2042 
  2043 
  2044 *** ML ***
  2045 
  2046 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  2047 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  2048 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  2049 
  2050 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  2051 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  2052 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  2053 
  2054 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  2055 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  2056 necessarily printing visible text.
  2057 
  2058 
  2059 *** System ***
  2060 
  2061 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  2062 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  2063 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  2064 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  2065 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  2066 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  2067 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  2068 
  2069 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  2070 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  2071 
  2072   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  2073 
  2074 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  2075 
  2076 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  2077 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  2078 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  2079 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  2080 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  2081 
  2082 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  2083 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  2084 
  2085 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  2086 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  2087 
  2088 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  2089 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2090 
  2091 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  2092 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  2093 version of Isabelle.
  2094 
  2095 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  2096 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  2097 
  2098 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  2099 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  2100 for home-made settings.
  2101 
  2102 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  2103 
  2104 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  2105 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  2106 configuration.
  2107 
  2108 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  2109 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  2110 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  2111 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  2112 bundled as Isabelle component.
  2113 
  2114 
  2115 
  2116 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  2117 ------------------------------
  2118 
  2119 *** General ***
  2120 
  2121 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  2122 
  2123   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  2124     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  2125   - markup for bound variables
  2126   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  2127   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  2128   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  2129     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  2130 
  2131 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  2132 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  2133 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  2134 
  2135 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2136 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2137 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2138 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2139 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2140 
  2141   context
  2142     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2143     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2144   begin
  2145 
  2146   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2147 
  2148   end
  2149 
  2150   thm my_trans
  2151 
  2152 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2153 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2154 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2155 
  2156 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2157 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2158 
  2159 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2160 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2161 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2162 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2163 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2164 
  2165 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2166 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2167 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2168 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2169 indices of schematic variables.
  2170 
  2171 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2172 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2173 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2174 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2175 etc. was exploited.
  2176 
  2177 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2178 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2179 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2180 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2181 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2182 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2183 
  2184 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2185 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2186 manual.
  2187 
  2188 
  2189 *** Pure ***
  2190 
  2191 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2192 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2193 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2194 
  2195 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2196 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2197 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2198 undocumented feature.)
  2199 
  2200 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2201 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2202 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2203 
  2204   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2205 
  2206   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2207     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2208 
  2209 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2210 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2211 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2212 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2213 
  2214 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2215 
  2216     num ~> num_token
  2217     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2218     xstr ~> str_token
  2219 
  2220 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2221 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2222 position information via constraints).
  2223 
  2224 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2225 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2226 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2227 
  2228 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2229 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2230 
  2231 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2232 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2233 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2234 
  2235 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2236 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2237 
  2238 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2239 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2240 
  2241   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2242 
  2243 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2244 
  2245 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2246 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2247 
  2248 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2249 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2250 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2251 
  2252 
  2253 *** HOL ***
  2254 
  2255 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2256 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2257 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2258 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2259 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2260 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2261 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2262 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2263 possible.
  2264 
  2265 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2266 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2267 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2268 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2269 
  2270 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2271 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2272 
  2273 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2274 
  2275 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2276 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2277 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2278 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2279 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2280 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2281 
  2282   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2283     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2284 
  2285   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2286     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2287     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2288 
  2289   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2290     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2291 
  2292   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2293     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2294     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2295 
  2296   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2297     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2298 
  2299 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2300 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2301 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2302 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2303 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2304 
  2305   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2306     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2307     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2308     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2309     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2310 
  2311     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2312     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2313 
  2314   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2315     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2316     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2317     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2318     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2319     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2320     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2321     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2322 
  2323   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2324     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2325     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2326     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2327 
  2328   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2329     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2330     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2331     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2332 
  2333   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2334     from type nat to type int.
  2335 
  2336 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2337 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2338 
  2339   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2340     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2341     type.  Example syntax:
  2342 
  2343     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2344       is List.insert
  2345 
  2346     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2347     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2348     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2349     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2350     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2351     by the package.
  2352 
  2353   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2354     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2355     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2356     code generation for each constant.
  2357 
  2358   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2359     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2360     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2361     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2362     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2363 
  2364   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2365     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2366     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2367 
  2368 * Quotient package:
  2369 
  2370   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2371     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2372 
  2373   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2374     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2375 
  2376   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2377     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2378     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2379 
  2380   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2381     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2382 
  2383 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2384 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2385 
  2386 * Quickcheck:
  2387 
  2388   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2389     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2390     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2391     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2392     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2393 
  2394     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2395     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2396     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2397 
  2398     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2399     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2400 
  2401     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2402     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2403     show genuine counterexamples.
  2404 
  2405   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2406     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2407 
  2408     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2409     constructors of that type.
  2410 
  2411   - Support for multisets.
  2412 
  2413   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2414 
  2415   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2416     conjectures in a locale context.
  2417 
  2418 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2419 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2420 
  2421 * Sledgehammer:
  2422   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2423     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2424   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2425   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2426     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2427   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2428   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2429   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2430   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2431 
  2432 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2433 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2434 
  2435 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2436 
  2437 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2438 
  2439 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2440 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2441 
  2442   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2443 
  2444 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2445 a list and a nat.
  2446 
  2447 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2448 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2449 
  2450 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2451 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2452 default.
  2453 
  2454 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2455 
  2456   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2457 
  2458 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2459 
  2460 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2461 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2462 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2463 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2464 one_case.
  2465 
  2466 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2467 the result of the fact expression.
  2468 
  2469 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2470 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2471 of some relation theorems:
  2472 
  2473   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2474   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2475   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2476   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2477   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2478   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2479 
  2480 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2481 
  2482 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2483 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2484 
  2485 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2486 
  2487 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2488 to match the constant's name:
  2489 
  2490   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2491   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2492   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2493   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2494   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2495   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2496   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2497   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2498   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2499   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2500   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2501   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2502   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2503   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2504   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2505   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2506   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2507   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2508   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2509   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2510   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2511   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2512   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2513   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2514 
  2515 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2516 
  2517 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2518 and corresponding theorem names:
  2519 
  2520   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2521 
  2522   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2523 
  2524   - Renamed theorems:
  2525 
  2526     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2527     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2528     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  2529     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  2530     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  2531     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  2532     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  2533     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  2534     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2

  2922 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2923 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2924 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2925 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2926 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2927 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2928 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2929 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2930 
  2931 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2932 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2933 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2934 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2935 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2936 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2937 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2938 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2939 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2940 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2941 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2942 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2943 
  2944   Renamed constants:

  2967   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  2968   image_space
  2969   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  3104 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  3105 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  3106 
  3107 
  3108 *** FOL ***
  3109 
  3110 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  3111 
  3112 
  3113 *** ZF ***
  3114 
  3115 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  3116 analysis.
  3117 
  3118 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  3119 
  3120 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3121 
  3122 
  3123 *** ML ***
  3124 
  3125 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  3126 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  3127 
  3128 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  3129 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  3130 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  3131 
  3132 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  3133 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  3134 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  3135 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3136 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3137 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3138 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3139 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3140 
  3141 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3142 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3143 
  3144 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3145 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3146 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3147 
  3148 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3149 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3150 
  3151 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3152 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3153 context as well.
  3154 
  3155 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3156 
  3157   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3158   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3159   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3160   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong

  3164   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  3165   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3166   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3167   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3168   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3169 
  3170 
  3171 *** System ***
  3172 
  3173 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3174 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3175 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3176 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3177 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3178 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3179 the generic user home was intended.
  3180 
  3181 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3182 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3183 
  3184 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3185 (not just JRE).
  3186 
  3187 
  3188 
  3189 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3190 ------------------------------------
  3191 
  3192 *** General ***
  3193 
  3194 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3195 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3196 
  3197   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3198     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3199     files for checking).
  3200 
  3201   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3202     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3203     positions.
  3204 
  3205   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3206     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3207     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3208 
  3209   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3210     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3211     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3212 
  3213   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3214     cores.
  3215 
  3216   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3217     versions (garbage collection).
  3218 
  3219 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3220 including some remaining limitations.
  3221 
  3222 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3223 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3224 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3225 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3226 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3227 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3228 
  3229 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3230 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3231 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3232 
  3233 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3234 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3235 usedir option -Q.
  3236 
  3237 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3238 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3239 
  3240   long_names   ~> names_long
  3241   short_names  ~> names_short
  3242   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3243 
  3244 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3245 
  3246   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3247 
  3248 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3249 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3250 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3251 
  3252 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3253 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3254 
  3255 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3256   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3257   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3258   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3259     "Classical Reasoner".
  3260 
  3261 
  3262 *** HOL ***
  3263 
  3264 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3265 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3266 
  3267 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3268 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3269 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3270 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3271 class complete_linorder.
  3272 
  3273 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3274 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3275 
  3276 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3277 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3278 
  3279   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3280   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]

  3311 
  3312 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3313 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3314 
  3315 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3316 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3317 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3318 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3319 
  3320 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3321 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3322 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3323 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3324 
  3325 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3326 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3327 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3328 
  3329 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3330 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3331 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3332 
  3333 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3334 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3335 
  3336 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3337 
  3338     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3339     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3340 
  3341 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3342 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3343 
  3344 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3345 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3346 
  3347 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3348 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3349 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3350 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3446 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3447 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3448 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3449 
  3450 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3451 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3452 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3453 
  3454 * Code generation:
  3455 
  3456   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3457     characters in the target language.
  3458 
  3459   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3460     instead.
  3461 
  3462   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3463 
  3464   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3465     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3466 
  3467       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3468 
  3469 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3470 
  3471 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3472 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3473 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3474 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3475 syntax.
  3476 
  3477 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3478 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3479 
  3480 * Nitpick:
  3481   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3482   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3483   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3484     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3485 
  3486 * Sledgehammer:
  3487   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3488   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3489     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3490   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3491     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3492   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3493     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3494   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3495     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3496   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3497     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3498 
  3499 * Metis:
  3500   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3501   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3502     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3503 
  3504 * Command 'try':
  3505   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3506     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3507   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3508     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3509 
  3510 * Quickcheck:
  3511   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3512     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3513   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3514     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3515   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3516     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3517     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3518     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3519   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3520     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3521 
  3522 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3523 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3524 
  3525 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3526 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3527 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3528 
  3529 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3530 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3531 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3532 
  3533 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3534 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3535 
  3536 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3537 arithmetic.
  3538 
  3539 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3540 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3541 and lattice type classes.
  3542 
  3543 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3544 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3545 
  3546 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3547 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3548 
  3549 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3550 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3551 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3552 
  3553   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3554   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3555   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3556   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3557 
  3558 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3559 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3560 constants:
  3561 
  3562   type inat   ~> type enat
  3563   Fin         ~> enat
  3564   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3565   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3566   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3567 
  3568 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3569 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3570 
  3571 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3572 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3573 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3574 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3575 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3576 
  3577 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3578 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3579 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3580 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3581 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3582 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3583 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3584 
  3585   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3586   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3587   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3588   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3589 
  3590 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3591 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3592 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3647   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3648   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3649   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3650   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3651     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3682 *** Document preparation ***
  3683 
  3684 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3685 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3686 same.
  3687 
  3688 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3689 result.
  3690 
  3691 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3692 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3693 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3694 
  3695 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3696 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3697 
  3698 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3699 like this:
  3700 
  3701   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3702   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3703 
  3704 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3705 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3706 layouts.
  3707 
  3708 
  3709 *** ML ***
  3710 
  3711 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3712 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3713 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3714 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3715 under external program control.
  3716 
  3717 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3718 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3719 
  3720 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3721 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3722 (better known as Proof General).
  3723 
  3724 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3725 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3726 
  3727 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3728 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3729 
  3730 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3731 (including quotes etc.).
  3732 
  3733 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3734 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3735 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3736 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3737 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3738 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3739 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3740 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3741 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3742 
  3743 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3744 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3745 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3746 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3747 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3748 
  3749 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3750 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3751 
  3752 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3753 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3754 
  3755 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3756 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3757 
  3758 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3759 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3760 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3761 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3762 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3763 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3764 proper Proof.context.
  3765 
  3766 
  3767 *** System ***
  3768 
  3769 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3770 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3771 
  3772 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3773 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3774 
  3775 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3776 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3777 
  3778   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3779   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3780   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3781   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3782   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3783 
  3784 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3785 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3786 
  3787 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3788 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3789 example:
  3790 
  3791   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3792 
  3793 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3794 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3795 
  3796 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3797 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3798 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3799 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3800 
  3801 
  3802 
  3803 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3804 ----------------------------------
  3805 
  3806 *** General ***
  3807 
  3808 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3809 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3810 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3811 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3812 like this:
  3813 
  3814   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3815 
  3816 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3817 
  3818 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3819 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3820 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3821 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3822 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3823 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3824 
  3825 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3826 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3827 the following package declarations:
  3828 
  3829   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3830   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3831 
  3832 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3833 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3834 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3835 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3836 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3837 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3838 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3839 
  3840 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3841 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3842 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3843 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3844 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3845 
  3846 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3847 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3848 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3849 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3850 
  3851 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3852 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3853 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3854 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3855 
  3856   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3857 
  3858   eta_contract                  eta_contract
  3859   show_brackets                 show_brackets
  3860   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  3861   show_types                    show_types
  3862   show_question_marks           show_question_marks
  3863   show_consts                   show_consts
  3864   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  3865 
  3866   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  3867   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  3868   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3869 
  3870   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3871   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3872 
  3873   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3874 
  3875   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  3876   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  3877   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3878   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3879   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3880 
  3881 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3882 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3883 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3884 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3885 
  3886 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3887 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3888 
  3889   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3890   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3891 
  3892 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3893 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3894 float_token.
  3895 
  3896 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3897 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3898 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3899 
  3900 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3901 DejaVu Sans.
  3902 
  3903 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3904 
  3905 
  3906 *** Pure ***
  3907 
  3908 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3909 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3910 time.
  3911 
  3912 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3913 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3914 
  3915 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3916 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3917 
  3918 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3919 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3920 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3921 command already provided this functionality.
  3922 
  3923 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3924 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3925 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3926 without interpretations.
  3927 
  3928 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3929 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3930 
  3931 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3932 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3933 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3934 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3935 
  3936 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3937 'definition' instead.
  3938 
  3939 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3940 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3941 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3942 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3943 
  3944 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3945 constructors.
  3946 
  3947 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3948 the local file system.
  3949 
  3950 
  3951 *** HOL ***
  3952 
  3953 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3954 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3955 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3956 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3957 
  3958   declare [[coercion f]]
  3959 
  3960 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3961 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3962 
  3963   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3964 
  3965 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3966 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3967 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3968 other theories like this:
  3969 
  3970   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3971 
  3972 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3973 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3974 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3975 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3976 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3977 for examples.
  3978 
  3979 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3980 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3981 
  3982 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3983 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3984 
  3985 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3986 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3987 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3988 
  3989 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3990 functorial structure of types.
  3991 
  3992 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3993 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3994 
  3995 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3996 languages.
  3997 
  3998 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3999 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  4000 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4001 
  4002 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  4003 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4004 
  4005 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  4006 combinators any longer.
  4007 
  4008 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  4009 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  4010 
  4011 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  4012 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  4013 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  4014 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  4015 
  4016   record 'a foo = ...
  4017   ...
  4018   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  4019 
  4020 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  4021 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  4022 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4023 
  4024 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  4025 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  4026 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  4027 
  4028 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  4029 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  4030 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  4031 
  4032 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  4033 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4034 
  4035 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  4036 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  4037 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  4038 independently.
  4039 
  4040 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  4041 counter example search.
  4042 
  4043 * Sledgehammer:
  4044   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  4045     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  4046     sledgehammer").
  4047   - Renamed commands:
  4048     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  4049     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  4050     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  4051     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4052   - Renamed options:
  4053     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  4054     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  4055     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  4056     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  4057     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4058 
  4059 * Nitpick:
  4060   - Renamed options:
  4061     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  4062     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  4063     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4064   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  4065   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  4066   - Added "whack" option.
  4067   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  4068   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  4069   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  4070   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  4071     higher cardinalities.
  4072   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  4073 
  4074 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  4075 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  4076 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  4077 
  4078     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  4079 
  4080 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  4081 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  4082 
  4083 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  4084 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  4085 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  4086 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  4087 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  4088 "smt_solver".
  4089 
  4090 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  4091 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  4092 
  4093 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  4094 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  4095 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  4096 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4097 
  4098 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  4099   - Renamed:
  4100     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  4101     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  4102     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4103   - Added:
  4104     smt_verbose
  4105     smt_random_seed
  4106     smt_datatypes
  4107     smt_infer_triggers
  4108     smt_monomorph_limit
  4109     cvc3_options
  4110     remote_cvc3_options
  4111     remote_z3_options
  4112     yices_options
  4113 
  4114 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  4115 header.
  4116 
  4117 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  4118 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  4119 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  4120 
  4121   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  4122 
  4123 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4124 
  4125 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  4126 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4127 
  4128 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4129 
  4130 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  4131 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4132 
  4133 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  4134 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  4135 
  4136 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4137 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4138 
  4139 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4140 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4141 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4142 
  4143 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4144 
  4145 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4146 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4147 
  4148 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4149 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4150 
  4151 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4152 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4153 for congruent(2)).
  4154 
  4155 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4156 
  4157   types
  4158     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4159     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4160 
  4161   constants
  4162     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  4163     True ~> HOL.True
  4164     False ~> HOL.False
  4165     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4166     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4167     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4168     op = ~> HOL.eq
  4169     Not ~> HOL.Not

  4182     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4183     op : ~> Set.member
  4184     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4185 
  4186 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4187 
  4188 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4189 
  4190     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4191     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4192     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4193     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4194     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4195     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4196     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4197     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4198 
  4199 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4200 
  4201 * More stylized fact names:
  4202 
  4203   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4204   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4205   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4206   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4207 
  4208 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4209 
  4210 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4211 
  4212   constants
  4213     null ~> List.null
  4214 
  4215   facts
  4216     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4217     null_empty ~> null_def
  4218 
  4219 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4220 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4221 generation.
  4222 
  4223 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4224 Haskell code.
  4225 
  4226 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4227 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4228 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4229 
  4230 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4231 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4232 
  4233 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4234 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4235 
  4236 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4237 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4238 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4239 
  4240 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4241 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4242 
  4243 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4245 
  4246 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4247 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4248 referred to by its qualified name.
  4249 
  4250   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4251   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4252   product ~>  Enum.product
  4253 
  4254 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4255 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4256 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4257 
  4258 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4259 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4260 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4261 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4262 
  4263 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4264 sort_key.
  4265 
  4266 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4268 
  4269 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4270 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4271 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4272 
  4273   types
  4274     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4275               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4276               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4277         (depends on your needs)
  4278 
  4279   constants
  4280      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4281      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4282      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4283 
  4284 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4285 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4286 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4287 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4288 
  4289 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4290 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4291 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4292 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4293 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4294 
  4295 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4296 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4297 
  4298 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4299 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4300 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4301 
  4302 
  4303 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4304 
  4305 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4306 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4307 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4308 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4309 compatibility.
  4310 
  4311 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4312 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4313 
  4314 
  4315 *** HOLCF ***
  4316 
  4317 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4318 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4319 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4320 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4321 
  4322 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4323 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4324 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4325 
  4326   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4327   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4328   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4329 
  4330 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4331 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4332 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4333 
  4334 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4335 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4336 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4337 domain definition now works:
  4338 
  4339   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4340 
  4341 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4342 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4343 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4344 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4345 
  4346   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4347     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4348 
  4349   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4350 
  4351 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4352 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4353 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4354 
  4355 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4356 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4357 
  4358 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4359 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4360 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4361 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4362 
  4363 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4364 
  4365 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4366 
  4367 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4368 
  4369 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4370 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4371 
  4372 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4373 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4374 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4375 
  4376 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4377 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4378 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4379 
  4380 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4381 still supported as an input translation.
  4382 
  4383 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4384 
  4385   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4386   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4387   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4388   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4389   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4390   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4391   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4392 
  4393 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4394 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4395 
  4396   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4397   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4398   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4399   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4400   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4401   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4402 
  4403 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4404 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4405 
  4406 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4407 
  4408   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4409   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4410   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4411   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4412 
  4413 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4414 
  4415 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4416 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4417 
  4418 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4419 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4490 
  4491 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4492 
  4493 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4494 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4495 
  4496 
  4497 *** ML ***
  4498 
  4499 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4500 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4501 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4502 
  4503 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4504 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4505 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4506 
  4507 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4508 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4509 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4510 
  4511 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4512 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4513 
  4514 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4515 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4516 
  4517 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4518 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4519 
  4520 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4521 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4522 
  4523 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4524 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4525 almost all situations.
  4526 
  4527 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4528 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4529 Isabelle/ML.
  4530 
  4531 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4532 meaning.
  4533 
  4534 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4535 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4536 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4537 
  4538 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4539 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4540 
  4541 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4542 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4543 
  4544 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4545 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4546 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4547 
  4548 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4549 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4550 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4551 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4552 configuration options.
  4553 
  4554 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4555 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4556 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4557 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4558 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4559 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4560 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4563 
  4564 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4565 ---------------------------------
  4566 
  4567 *** General ***
  4568 
  4569 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4570 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4571 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4572 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4573 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4574 their full internal name.
  4575 
  4576 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4577 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4578 Some hints on upgrading:
  4579 
  4580   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4581     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4582     which are independent of this issue.
  4583 
  4584   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4585     provides the following special forms:
  4586 
  4587       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4588       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4589       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4590 
  4591     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4592     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4593     extra variables".
  4594 
  4595     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4596     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4597     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4598     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4599     "logic".
  4600 
  4601   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4602     antiquotations:
  4603 
  4604       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4605       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4606       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4607       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4608 
  4609   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4610     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4611     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4612     antiquotations.
  4613 
  4614 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4615 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4616 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4617 diagnose syntax problems.
  4618 
  4619 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4620 
  4621 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4622 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4623 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4624 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4625 
  4626 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4627 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4628 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4629 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4630 
  4631 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4632 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4633 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4634 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4635 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4636 
  4637 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4638 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4639 
  4640 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4641 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4642 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4643 
  4644   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4645 
  4646 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4647 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4648 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4649 
  4650 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4651 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4652 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4653 
  4654 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4655 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4656 
  4657 
  4658 *** Pure ***
  4659 
  4660 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4661 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4662 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4663 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4664 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4665 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4666 inspect proof terms.
  4667 
  4668 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4669 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4670 are added internally.  For example:
  4671 
  4672   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4673 
  4674 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4675 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4676 
  4677 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4678 
  4679 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4680 'class' instead.
  4681 
  4682 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4683 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4684 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4685 
  4686 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4687 invariants.
  4688 
  4689 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4690 user space functionality any longer.
  4691 
  4692 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4693 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4694 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4695 
  4696 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4697 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4698 
  4699 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4700 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4701 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4702 
  4703 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4704 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4705 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4706 
  4707 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4708 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4709 
  4710 
  4711 *** HOL ***
  4712 
  4713 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4714 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4715 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4716 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4717 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4718 
  4719 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4720 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4721 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4722 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4723 
  4724   fun
  4725     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4726   where
  4727     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4728 
  4729   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4730     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4731 
  4732   quotient_definition
  4733     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4734 
  4735 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4736 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4737 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4738 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4739 
  4740 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4741 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4742 
  4743 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4744 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4745 
  4746 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4747 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4748 
  4749 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4750 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4751 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4752 
  4753 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4754 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4755 
  4756 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4757 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4758 
  4759 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4760 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4761 
  4762 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4763 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4764 
  4765 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4766 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4767 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4800 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4801 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4802 
  4803 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4804 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4805 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4806 
  4807 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4808 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4809 
  4810 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4811 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4812 
  4813 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4814 
  4815 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4816 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4817 
  4818 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4819 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4820 
  4821 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4822 
  4823 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4824 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4825 
  4826 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4827 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4828 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4829 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4830 
  4831 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4832   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4833   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4834   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4835 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4836 
  4837 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4838 lattices):
  4839 
  4840     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4877 
  4878   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4879   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4880 
  4881     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4882     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs

  4884     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4885     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4886 
  4887 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4888 
  4889 * Refined field classes:
  4890   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4891     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4892     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4893   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4894 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4895 
  4896 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4897   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4898   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4899   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4900     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4901   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4902     equal_neg_zero.
  4903 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4904 
  4905 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4906 sets to lattices:
  4907 
  4908   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4909   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup

  4917   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4918 
  4919 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4920 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4921 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4922 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4923 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4924 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4925 
  4926 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4927 multiset order:
  4928 
  4929   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4930     <= and <;
  4931   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4932     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4933     multiset_order;
  4934   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4935     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4936     generation;
  4937   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4938     if needed.
  4939 
  4940 Renamed:
  4941 
  4942   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4943   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4944   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4945 
  4946 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4947 
  4948 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4949 
  4950 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4951 
  4952 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4953 
  4954 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4955 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4956 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4986   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4987 
  4988 * Sledgehammer:
  4989   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4990     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4991     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4992     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4993     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4994     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4995     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4996   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4997   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4998     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4999   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  5000     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  5001     is still experimental.)
  5002   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  5003     full-typed mode.
  5004   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  5005 
  5006 * Nitpick:
  5007   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  5008   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  5009   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  5010     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  5011   - Added support for quotient types.
  5012   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  5013     constructs.
  5014   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  5015     "termination" proofs).
  5016   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  5017   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  5018   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  5019   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  5020     record getters.
  5021   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  5022   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  5023   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  5024   - Added "atoms" option.
  5025   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  5026     problems.
  5027   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  5028     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  5029     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5030   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  5031     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5032   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5033 
  5034 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  5035   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  5036   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  5037   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  5038   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  5039   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  5040   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  5041   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  5042   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  5043   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5044 
  5045 
  5046 *** HOLCF ***
  5047 
  5048 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  5049 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  5050 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5051 
  5052 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  5053 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  5054 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  5055 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5056 
  5057 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  5058 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  5059 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  5060 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  5061 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5062 
  5063 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  5064 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  5065 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5066 
  5067 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  5068 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5069 
  5070   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  5071   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  5072 
  5073 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  5074 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5075 
  5076   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  5077   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  5078   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  5079   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5080   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5081 
  5082 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5083 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5084 
  5085   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5086   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5087   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5088 
  5089 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5090 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5091 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5092 
  5093 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5094 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5095 
  5096 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5097 
  5098 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5099 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5100 
  5101 
  5102 *** ML ***
  5103 
  5104 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5105 
  5106     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5107     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5108 
  5109     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5110     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5111     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5112     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5113 
  5114     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5115     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5116     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5117 
  5118 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5119 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5120 
  5121 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5122 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5123 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5124 
  5125 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5126 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5127 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5128 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5129 
  5130 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5131 the context or even global references.
  5132 
  5133 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5134 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5135 
  5136 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5137 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5138 
  5139   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5140   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5141   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5142   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5143   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5144   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5145   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5146   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5147   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5148   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5149 
  5150 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5151 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5152 
  5153 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5154 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5155 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5156 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5157 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5158 
  5159 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5160 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5161 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5162 Theory_Data version.
  5163 
  5164 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5165 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5166 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5167 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5168 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5169 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5170 explicitly in rare situations.
  5171 
  5172 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5173 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5174 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5175 
  5176 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5177 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5178 
  5179 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5180 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5181 quite rare).
  5182 
  5183 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5184 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5185 
  5186 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5187 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5188 terms.
  5189 
  5190 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5191 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5192 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5193 
  5194 
  5195 *** System ***
  5196 
  5197 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5198 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5199 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5200 
  5201 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5202 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5203 respectively.
  5204 
  5205 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5206 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5207 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5208 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5209 
  5210   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5211 
  5212 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5213 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5214 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5215 component.
  5216 
  5217 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5218 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5219 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5220 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5221 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5222 the user for manual installation.
  5223 
  5224 
  5225 
  5226 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5227 -------------------------------------
  5228 
  5229 *** General ***
  5230 
  5231 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5232 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5233 
  5234 
  5235 *** Pure ***
  5236 
  5237 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5238 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5239 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5240 
  5241 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5242 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5243 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5244 
  5245 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5246 interpretation.
  5247 
  5248 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5249 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5250 
  5251 
  5252 *** Document preparation ***
  5253 
  5254 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5255 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5256 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5257 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5258 
  5259 
  5260 *** HOL ***
  5261 
  5262 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5263 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5264 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5265 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5266 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5267 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5268 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5269 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5270 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5271 
  5272 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5273 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5274 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5275 
  5276 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5277 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5278 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5279 
  5280 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5281 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5282 
  5283 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5284 
  5285 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5286 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5287 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5288 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5289 
  5290 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5291 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5292 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5293 "mirabelle" utility.
  5294 
  5295 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5296 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5297 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5298 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5299 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5300 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5301 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5302 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5303 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5304 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5305 
  5306 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5307 procedure only.
  5308 
  5309 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5310 
  5311 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5312 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5313 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5314 that fail later.
  5315 
  5316 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5317 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5318 
  5319 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5320 the same method as the approximation method.
  5321 
  5322 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5323 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5324 series expansion.
  5325 
  5326 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5327 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5328 
  5329 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5330 reals.
  5331 
  5332 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5333 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5334 
  5335 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5336 fixpoint theorem.
  5337 
  5338 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5339   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5340     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5341   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5342     accordingly
  5343   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5344     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5345   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5346     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5347 
  5348 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5349 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5350 lattice.
  5351 
  5352 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5353 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5354 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5355 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5356 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5357 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5358 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5359 
  5360 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5361   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5362     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5363   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5364     le_inf_iff
  5365   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5366     sup_aci)
  5367   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5368   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5369   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5370     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5371     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5372     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5373     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5374     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5375     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5376     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5377     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5378     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5379     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5380   - authentic syntax for
  5381     Set.Pow
  5382     Set.image
  5383   - mere abbreviations:
  5384     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5385     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5386     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5387     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5388     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5389     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5390     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5391     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5392   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5393 
  5394 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5395 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5396 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5397 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5398 
  5399 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5400 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5401 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5402 
  5403 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5404 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5405 
  5406 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5407 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5408 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5409 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5410 
  5411 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5412 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5413 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5414 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5415 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5416 
  5417 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5418 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5419 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5420 
  5421 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5422 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5423 
  5424 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5425 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5426 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5427 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5428 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5429 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5430 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5431 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5432 
  5433 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5434     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5435     code_post       replaces    code post
  5436     etc.
  5437   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5438 
  5439 * Renamed methods:
  5440     sizechange -> size_change
  5441     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5442   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5443 
  5444 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5445 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5446 
  5447 * Renamed theorems:
  5448     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5449     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5450     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5451     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5452     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5453   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5454 
  5455 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5456 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5457 
  5458 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5459 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5460 
  5461 
  5462 *** HOLCF ***
  5463 
  5464 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5465 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5466 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5467 
  5468 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5469 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5470 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5471 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5472 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5473 
  5474 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5475 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5476 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5477 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5478 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5479 
  5480 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5481 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5482 constructor are pre-configured.
  5483 
  5484 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5485 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5486 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5487 
  5488 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5489 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5490 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5491 as well.)
  5492 
  5493 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5494 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5495 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5496 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5497 examples.
  5498 
  5499 
  5500 *** ML ***
  5501 
  5502 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5503 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5504 
  5505 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5506 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5507 position, logical grouping etc.
  5508 
  5509 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5510 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5511 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5512 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5513 
  5514 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5515 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5516 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5517 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5518 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5519 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5520 
  5521 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5522 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5523 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5524 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5525 experiments with references.
  5526 
  5527 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5528 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5529 
  5530 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5531 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5532 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5533 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5534 
  5535 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5536 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5537 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5538 
  5539 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5540 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5541 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5542 
  5543 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5544 
  5545 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5546 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5547 
  5548 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5549 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5550 
  5551 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5552 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5553 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5554 
  5555 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5556 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5557 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5558 
  5559 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5560 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5561 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5562 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5563 
  5564 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5565 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5566 instead of global theory.
  5567 
  5568 
  5569 *** System ***
  5570 
  5571 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5572 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5573 usedir option -q.
  5574 
  5575 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5576 also the system manual.
  5577 
  5578 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5579 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5580 
  5581 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5582 this is always enabled.
  5583 
  5584 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5585 
  5586 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5587 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5588 currently supported on Linux only.
  5589 
  5590 
  5591 
  5592 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5593 --------------------------------
  5594 
  5595 *** General ***
  5596 
  5597 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5598 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5599 
  5600   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5601     "isatool."
  5602 
  5603   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5604     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5605 
  5606   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5607     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5608 
  5609 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5610 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5611 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5612 
  5613 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5614 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5615 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5616 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5617 via "isabelle emacs".
  5618 
  5619 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5620 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5621 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5622 
  5623 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5624 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5625 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5626 
  5627 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5628 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5629 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5630 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5631 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5632 
  5633 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5634 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5635 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5636 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5637 
  5638 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5639 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5640 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5641 
  5642 
  5643 *** Pure ***
  5644 
  5645 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5646 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5647 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5648 
  5649 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5650 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5651 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5652 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5653 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5654 
  5655 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5656 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5657 useful in locale declarations.
  5658 
  5659 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5660 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5661 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5662 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5663 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5664 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5665 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5666 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5667 no longer generated.
  5668 
  5669 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5670 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5671 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5672 
  5673 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5674 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5675 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5676 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5677 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5678 
  5679 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5680 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5681 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5682 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5683 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5684 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5685 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5686 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5687 
  5688 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5689 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5690 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5691 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5692 
  5693 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5694 
  5695 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5696 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5697 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5698 
  5699 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5700 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5701 
  5702 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5703 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5704 in HOL, write
  5705 
  5706     class foo = ...
  5707 
  5708 instead of
  5709 
  5710     class foo = type + ...
  5711 
  5712 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5713 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5714 
  5715 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5716 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5717 
  5718 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5719 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5720 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5721 
  5722 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5723 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5724 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5725 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5726 directly in regular applications.
  5727 
  5728 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5729 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5730 
  5731 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5732 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5733 
  5734 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5735 theory context.
  5736 
  5737 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5738 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5739 
  5740 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5741 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5742 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5743 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5744 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5745 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5746 
  5747   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5748 
  5749 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5750 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5751 normalization.
  5752 
  5753 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5754 addressing etc.
  5755 
  5756 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5757 
  5758   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5759   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5760 
  5761 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5762 
  5763   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5764      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5765      parts of the code generator framework).
  5766 
  5767   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5768      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5769      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5770 
  5771 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5772 
  5773 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5774 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5775 
  5776 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5777 patterns, e.g.
  5778 
  5779     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5780 
  5781 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5782 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5783 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5784 hyphen:
  5785 
  5786     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5787 
  5788 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5789 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5790 
  5791 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5792 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5793 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5794 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5795 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5796 higher-order unification.
  5797 
  5798 
  5799 *** Document preparation ***
  5800 
  5801 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5802 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5803 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5804 
  5805 
  5806 *** HOL ***
  5807 
  5808 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5809 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5810 
  5811 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5812 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5813 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5814 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5815 Main, as before.
  5816 
  5817 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5818 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5819 
  5820 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5821 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5822 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5823 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5824 
  5825 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5826 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5827 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5828 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5829 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5830 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5831 
  5832 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5833 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5834 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5835 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5836 
  5837 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5838 menu.
  5839 
  5840 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5841 (contains the empty clause).
  5842 
  5843 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5844 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5845 
  5846 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5847 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5848 
  5849 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5850 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5851 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5852 
  5853 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5854 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5855 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5856 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5857 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5858 
  5859 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5860 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5861 
  5862 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5863 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5864 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5865 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5866 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5867 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5868 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5869 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5870 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5871 
  5872 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5873 
  5874 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5875 
  5876 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5877 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5878 
  5879 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5880 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5881 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5882 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5883 
  5884 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5885 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5886 
  5887     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5888     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5889     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5890     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5891     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5892     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5893     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5894     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5895 
  5896 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5897 theory Set.
  5898 
  5899 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5900 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5901 
  5902 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5903 
  5904 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5905 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5906 
  5907 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5908 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5909 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5910 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5911 allowed. For examples see
  5912 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5913 
  5914 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5915 
  5916 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5917 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5918 
  5919 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5920 structure:

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

  7397     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7398 
  7399 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7400 
  7401 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7402 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7403 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7404 names.
  7405 
  7406 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7407 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7408 
  7409 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7410 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7411 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7412 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7413 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7414 
  7415 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7416 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7417 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7418 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7419 
  7420 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7421 
  7422 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7423 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7424 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7425 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7426 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7427 
  7428 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7429 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7430 
  7431 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7432 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7433 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7434 
  7435 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7436 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7437 
  7438 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7439 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7440 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7441 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7442 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7443 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7444 in the current context.
  7445 
  7446 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7447 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7448 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7449 
  7450 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7451 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7452 
  7453 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7454 
  7455     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7456     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7457 
  7458     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7459       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7460     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7461     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7462 
  7463     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7464     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7465 
  7466   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  7467 
  7468     meet_left_le            ~> inf_le1
  7469     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  7568 
  7569 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7570 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7571 
  7572 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7573 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7574 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7575 "*.size".
  7576 
  7577 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7578 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7579 
  7580 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7581 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7582 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7583 
  7584 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7585 
  7586 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7587 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7588 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7589 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7590 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7591 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7592 numerals on all operations.
  7593 
  7594 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7595 
  7596 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7597 
  7598 * Code generator library theories:
  7599   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7600     languages.
  7601   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7602     languages.
  7603   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7604     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7605   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7606   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7607     denominator).
  7608   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7609     representable by rational numbers.
  7610   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7611     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7612     includes Code_Integer.
  7613   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7614     target-language built-in integers.
  7615   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7616     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7617 
  7618 * New package for inductive predicates
  7619 
  7620   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7621 
  7622     inductive
  7623       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7624       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7625     where
  7626       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7627     | ...
  7628 
  7629   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7630 
  7631     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7632 
  7633     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7634     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7635 
  7636     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7637     intros
  7638       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7639       ...
  7640 
  7641   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7642   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7643 
  7644     inductive_set
  7645       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7646       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7647     where
  7648       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7649     | ...
  7650 
  7651   or
  7652 
  7653     inductive_set
  7654       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7655       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7656       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7657     where
  7658       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7659     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7660     | ...
  7661 
  7662   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7663 
  7664   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7665   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7666 
  7667   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7668 
  7669   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7670     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7671     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7672     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7673     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7674 
  7675   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7676     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7677     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7678     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7679     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7680     statements of the form
  7681 
  7682       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7683 
  7684     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7685     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7686 
  7687       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7688 
  7689   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7690 
  7691       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7692         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7693         ==> ... ==> P
  7694 
  7695     for predicates and
  7696 
  7697       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7698         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7699         ==> ... ==> P
  7700 
  7701     for sets rather than
  7702 
  7703       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7704         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7705         ==> ... ==> P
  7706 
  7707     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7708     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7709     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7710 
  7711   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7712     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7713     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7714 
  7715 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7716 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7717 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7718 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7719 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7720 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7721 
  7722 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7723 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7724 
  7725 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7726 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7727 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7728 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7729 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7730 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7731 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7732 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7733 variable.
  7734 
  7735 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7736 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7737 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7738 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7739   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7740   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7741 
  7742 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7743 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7744 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7745 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7746 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7747 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7748 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7749 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7750 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7751 
  7752 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7753 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7754 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7755 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7756 rat, etc.
  7757 
  7758 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7759 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7760 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7761 
  7762 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7763 
  7764 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7765 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7766 
  7767 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7768 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7769 
  7770 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7771 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7772 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7773 
  7774 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7775 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7776 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7777 
  7778 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7779 
  7780 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7781 
  7782 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7783 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7784 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7785 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7786 
  7787 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7788 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7789 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7790 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7791 
  7792 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7793 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7794 algebraic operations.
  7795 
  7796 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7797 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7798 
  7799 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7800 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7801 
  7802 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7803 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7804 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7805 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7806 adapted.
  7807 
  7808 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7809 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7810 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7811 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7812 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7813 
  7814 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7815 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7816 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7817 
  7818 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7819 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7820 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7821 
  7822 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7823 
  7824 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7825 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7826 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7827   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7828       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7829   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7830   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7831   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7832 
  7833 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7834 
  7835 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7836 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7837 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7838 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7839 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7840 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7841 
  7842 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7843 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7844 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7845 
  7846 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7847 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7848 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7849 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7850 
  7851 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7852 
  7853 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7854 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7855 
  7856 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7857 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7858 
  7859 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7860 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7861 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7862 
  7863 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7864 True/False.
  7865 
  7866 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7867 
  7868 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7869 
  7870 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7871 ``rule'' method.
  7872 
  7873 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7874 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7875 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7876 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7877 
  7878 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7879 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7880 
  7881 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7882 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7883 
  7884 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7885 Library.
  7886 
  7887 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7888 
  7889 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7890 as greatest fixed-point.
  7891 
  7892 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7893 association lists.
  7894 
  7895 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7896 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7897 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7898 
  7899 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7900 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7901 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7902 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7903 behavior.
  7904 
  7905 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7906 
  7907 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7908 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7909 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7910 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7911 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7912 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7913 
  7914 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7915 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7916 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7917 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7918 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7919 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7920 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7921 
  7922 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7923 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7924 
  7925 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7926 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7927 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7928 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7929 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7930 
  7931 
  7932 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7933 
  7934 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7935 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7936 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7937 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7938 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7939 
  7940 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7941 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7942 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7943 
  7944 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7945 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7946 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7947 
  7948 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7949 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7950 
  7951 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7952 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7953 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7954 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7970   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7971 
  7972 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7973 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7974 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7975 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7976

  7984   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  7985   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  7986 
  7987 
  7988 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7989 
  7990 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7991 
  7992 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7993 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7994 
  7995 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7996 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7997 
  7998 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7999 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  8000 of algebraic structures.
  8001 
  8002 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  8003 
  8004 
  8005 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  8006 
  8007 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  8008 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  8009 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  8010 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  8011 
  8012 
  8013 *** ML ***
  8014 
  8015 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  8016 (even on SML/NJ).
  8017 
  8018 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  8019 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  8020 compile-time.  For example:
  8021 
  8022 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  8023 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  8024 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  8025 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  8026 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  8027 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  8028 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  8029 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  8030 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  8031 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  8032 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  8033 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  8034 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  8035 ML {* @{context} *}
  8036 ML {* @{theory} *}
  8037 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  8038 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  8039 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  8040 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  8041 ML {* @{claset} *}
  8042 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  8043 
  8044 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  8045 
  8046 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  8047 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  8048 
  8049 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  8050 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  8051 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  8052 
  8053 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  8054 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  8055 
  8056 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  8057 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  8058 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  8059 
  8060 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  8061 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  8062 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  8063 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  8064 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  8065 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  8066 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  8067 declarations and definitions.
  8068 
  8069 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  8070 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  8071 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  8072 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  8073 
  8074 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  8075 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  8076 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  8077 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8078 
  8079 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  8080 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  8081 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  8082 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  8083 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  8084 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  8085 
  8086 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  8087 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  8088 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  8089 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  8090 attributes, methods, etc.
  8091 
  8092 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  8093 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  8094 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  8095 fold_map combinators.
  8096 
  8097 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  8098 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  8099 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  8100 derivation.
  8101 
  8102 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  8103 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  8104 achieve the old behaviour.
  8105 
  8106 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  8107 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  8108 statements.
  8109 
  8110 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  8111 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  8112 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  8113 
  8114 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  8115 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  8116 some popular functions from term.ML:
  8117 
  8118   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  8119   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  8120   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  8121 
  8122 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  8123 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  8124 
  8125 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  8126 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  8127 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  8128 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  8129 various freeze_thaw operations.
  8130 
  8131 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  8132 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  8133 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  8134 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  8135 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  8136 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  8137 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  8138 in a locale context).
  8139 
  8140 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  8141 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  8142 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8143 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8144 
  8145 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8146 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8147 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8148 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8149 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8150 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8151 
  8152 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8153 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8154 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8155 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8156 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8157 
  8158   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8159 
  8160 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8161 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8162 this:
  8163 
  8164   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8165 
  8166 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8167 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8168 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8169 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8170 
  8171 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8172 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8173 
  8174 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8175 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8176 
  8177 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8178 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8179 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8180 batch mode.
  8181 
  8182 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8183 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8184 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8185 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8186 
  8187 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8188 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8189 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8190 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8191 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8192 
  8193 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8194 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8195 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8196 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8197 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8198 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8199 
  8200 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8201 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8202 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8203 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8204 
  8205 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8206 "Trueprop" etc.
  8207 
  8208 
  8209 *** System ***
  8210 
  8211 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8212 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8213 Isabelle installations.
  8214 
  8215 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8216 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8217 code.
  8218 
  8219 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8220 
  8221 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8222 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8223 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8224 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8225 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8226 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8227 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8228 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8229 Implementation manual.
  8230 
  8231 
  8232 
  8233 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8234 ----------------------------------
  8235 
  8236 *** General ***
  8237 
  8238 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8239 
  8240   theory <name>
  8241   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8242   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8243   begin
  8244 
  8245 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8246 
  8247   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8248 
  8249 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8250 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8251 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8252 
  8253 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8254 relative and absolute paths.
  8255 
  8256 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8257 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8258 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8259 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8260 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8261 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8262 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8263 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8264 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8265 
  8266   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8267 
  8268 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8269 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8270 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8271 
  8272 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8273 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8274 
  8275 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8276 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8277 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8278 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8279 
  8280   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8281   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8282 
  8283 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8284 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8285 faster.
  8286 
  8287 
  8288 *** Document preparation ***
  8289 
  8290 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8291 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8292 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8293 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8294 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8295 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8296 
  8297 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8298 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8299 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8300 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8301 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8302 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8303 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8304 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8305 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8306 \isadroptag.
  8307 
  8308 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8309 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8310 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8311 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8312 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8313 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8314 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8315 specified above.
  8316 
  8317 * Several new antiquotations:
  8318 
  8319   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8320 
  8321   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8322 
  8323   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8324   argument is a known logical constant;
  8325 
  8326   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8327   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8328 
  8329   @{ML text}
  8330 
  8331 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8332 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8333 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8334 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8335 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8336 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8337 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8338 
  8339 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8340 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8341 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8342 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8343 
  8344 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8345 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8346 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8347 
  8348 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8349 a proof context.
  8350 
  8351 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8352 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8353 
  8354 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8355 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8356 
  8357 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8358 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8359 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8360 
  8361 
  8362 *** Pure ***
  8363 
  8364 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8365 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8366 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8367 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8368 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8369 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8370 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8371 
  8372 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8373 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8374 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8375 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8376 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8377 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8378 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8379 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8380 
  8381 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8382 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8383 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8384 
  8385 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8386 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8387 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8388 
  8389 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8390 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8391 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8392 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8393 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8394 
  8395 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8396 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8397 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8398 axclasses vs. locales.
  8399 
  8400 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8401 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8402 
  8403 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8404 marks in schematic variable names.
  8405 
  8406 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8407 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8408 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8409 
  8410   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8411     by simp
  8412 
  8413 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8414 
  8415 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8416 annotations as "(00...)".
  8417 
  8418 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8419 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8420 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8421 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8422 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8423 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8424 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8425 
  8426 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8427 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8428 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8429 specifications.
  8430 
  8431 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8432 locally fixed variables as well.
  8433 
  8434 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8435 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8436 Limit.
  8437 
  8438 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8439 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8440 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8441 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8442 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8443 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8444 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8445 
  8446 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8447 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8448 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8449 
  8450 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8451 
  8452 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8453 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8454 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8455 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8456 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8457 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8458 
  8459 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8460 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8461 
  8462 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8463 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8464 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8465 
  8466 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8467 
  8468 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8469 theory development.
  8470 
  8471 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8472 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8473 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8474 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8475 
  8476 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8477 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8478 quoted when used as identifier.
  8479 
  8480 
  8481 *** Locales ***
  8482 
  8483 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8484 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8485 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8486 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8487 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8488 commands is a follows:
  8489 
  8490   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8491   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8492   (3) interpret expr inst
  8493 
  8494 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8495 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8496 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8497 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8498 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8499 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8500 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8501 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8502 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8503 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8504 
  8505 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8506 'interpret' instead.
  8507 
  8508 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8509 parameters.
  8510 
  8511 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8512 redeclaration.
  8513 
  8514 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8515 
  8516 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8517 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8518 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8519 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8520 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8521 
  8522 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8523 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8524 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8525 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8526 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8527 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8528 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8529 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8530 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8531 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8532 
  8533 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8534 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8535 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8536 
  8537 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8538 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8539 
  8540 
  8541 *** Provers ***
  8542 
  8543 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8544 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8545 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8546 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8547 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8548 
  8549 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8550 and quasi orders.
  8551 
  8552 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8553 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8554 
  8555 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8556 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8557 
  8558 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8559 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8560 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8561 
  8562 
  8563 *** HOL ***
  8564 
  8565 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8566 
  8567   syntax (epsilon)
  8568     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8569 
  8570 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8571 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8572 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8573 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8574 
  8575 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8576 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8577 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8578 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8579 
  8580 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8581 instead of ":".
  8582 
  8583 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8584 
  8585   Old       New
  8586   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8587   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8588   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8589   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8590   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8591 
  8592 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8593 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8594 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8595 
  8596   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8597   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8598 
  8599 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8600 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8601 interface.
  8602 
  8603 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8604 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8605 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8606 be a tuple pattern.
  8607 
  8608 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8609 
  8610   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8611   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8612   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8613   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8614 
  8615 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8616 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8617 
  8618 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8619 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8620 (insert F x)'.
  8621 
  8622 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8623 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8624 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8625 
  8626 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8627 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8628 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8629 
  8630 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8631 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8632 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8633 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8634 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8635 
  8636 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8637 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8638 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8639 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8640 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8641 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8642 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8643 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8644 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8645 
  8646 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8647 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8648 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8649 quite long.
  8650 
  8651 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8652 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8653 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8654 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8655 
  8656 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8657 type-variables in the term.
  8658 
  8659 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8660 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8661 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8662 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8663 goals than previously.
  8664 
  8665 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8666 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8667 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8668 just like y <= x.
  8669 
  8670 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8671 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8672 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8673 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8674 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8675 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8676 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8677 
  8678 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8679 
  8680 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8681 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8682 
  8683 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8684 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8685 inequalities.
  8686 
  8687 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8688 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8689 
  8690   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8691   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8692   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8693   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8694   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos

  8700   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8701 
  8702 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8703 
  8704      zero_le_square
  8705      not_square_less_zero
  8706 
  8707   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  8714      abs_realpow_two
  8715      realpow_two_abs
  8716 
  8717 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8718 
  8719 * Theory List:
  8720 
  8721 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8722 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8723 
  8724   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8725   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8726   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8727   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8728 
  8729 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8730 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8731 
  8732 
  8733 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8734 
  8735 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8736 integers in the reals.
  8737 
  8738 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8739 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8740 
  8741   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8742   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8743   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8744   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8745   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8746 
  8747 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8748 
  8749 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8750 
  8751 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8752 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8753 
  8754   hypreal = real star
  8755   hypnat = nat star
  8756   hcomplex = complex star
  8757 
  8758 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8759 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8760 
  8761   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex

  8773   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8774 
  8775 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8776 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8777 
  8778   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  8779   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs

  8801   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8802 
  8803 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8804 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8805 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8806 
  8807   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8808   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  8809   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un

  8895 
  8896 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8897 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8898 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8899 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8900 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8901 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8902 
  8903 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8904 
  8905 
  8906 *** HOLCF ***
  8907 
  8908 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8909 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8910 type-inference.
  8911 
  8912 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8913 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8914 instead of exponential time).
  8915 
  8916 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8917 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8918 
  8919   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8920 
  8921 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8922 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8923 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8924 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8925 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8926 syntax and examples.
  8927 
  8928 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8929 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8930 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8931 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8932 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8933 
  8934 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8935 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8936 
  8937   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8938   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8939   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8940   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8941   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8942   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8943 
  8944 
  8945 *** ZF ***
  8946 
  8947 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8948 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8949 of a homomorphism).
  8950 
  8951 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8952 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8953 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8954 
  8955 
  8956 *** Cube ***
  8957 
  8958 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8959 theories.
  8960 
  8961 
  8962 *** ML ***
  8963 
  8964 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8965 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8966 
  8967 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8968 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8969 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8970 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8971 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8972 
  8973 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8974 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8975 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8976 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8977 
  8978 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8979 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8980 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8981 
  8982     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8983     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8984     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8985     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8986     seq fs = List.app fs
  8987     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8988     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8989 
  8990 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8991 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8992 
  8993   x |> f                f #> g
  8994   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8995 
  8996 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8997 
  8998   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8999   infix 2 ?;
  9000   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  9001   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  9002 
  9003 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  9004 infix operators.
  9005 
  9006 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  9007 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  9008 example:
  9009 
  9010   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  9011     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  9012 
  9013   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  9014     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  9015 
  9016   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  9017     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  9018 
  9019   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  9020     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  9021 
  9022 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  9023 available:
  9024 
  9025   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  9026   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  9027   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  9028   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  9029 
  9030 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  9031 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  9032 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  9033 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  9034 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  9035 
  9036   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  9037   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  9038   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  9039 
  9040 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  9041 
  9042   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  9043   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  9044 
  9045 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  9046 Naive rewrites:
  9047 
  9048   make_keylist = AList.make
  9049   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  9050 
  9051 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  9052   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  9053 
  9054     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  9055     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  9056 
  9057 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  9058   Naive rewrites:
  9059 
  9060     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  9061     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  9062 
  9063 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  9064 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  9065 lists.
  9066 
  9067 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  9068 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  9069 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  9070 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  9071 
  9072 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  9073 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  9074 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  9075 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  9076 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  9077 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  9078 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  9079 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  9080 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  9081 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  9082 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  9083 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  9084 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  9085 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  9086 Output.raw have no effect.
  9087 
  9088 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  9089 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  9090 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  9091 
  9092 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  9093 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  9094 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  9095 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  9096 
  9097 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  9098 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  9099 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  9100 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  9101 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  9102 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  9103 Library.sort_strings on result).
  9104 
  9105 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  9106 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  9107 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  9108 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9109 
  9110 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  9111 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  9112 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  9113 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  9114 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  9115 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  9116 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  9117 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  9118 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  9119 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  9120 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  9121 
  9122 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  9123 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  9124 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  9125 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  9126 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  9127 with earlier declarations.
  9128 
  9129 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  9130 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  9131 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9132 
  9133 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  9134 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  9135 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9136 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9137 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9138 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9139 
  9140   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9141     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9142 
  9143   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9144     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9145 
  9146   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9147     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9148     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9149     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9150 
  9151 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9152 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9153 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9154 
  9155 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9156 
  9157 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9158 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9159 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9160 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9161 
  9162 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9163 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9164 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9165 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9166 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9167 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9168 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9169 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9170 
  9171 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9172 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9173 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9174 
  9175 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9176 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9177 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9178 
  9179 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9180 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9181 
  9182   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9183   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9184   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9185   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9186 
  9187 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9188 
  9189 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9190 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9191 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9192 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9193 (both increase the runtime).
  9194 
  9195 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9196 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9197 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9198 
  9199 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9200 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9201 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9202 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9203 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9204 for further details.
  9205 
  9206 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9207 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9208 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9209 scripts for the time being.
  9210 
  9211 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9212 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9213 
  9214   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9215   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9216 
  9217 
  9218 *** System ***
  9219 
  9220 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9221 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9222 
  9223 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9224 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9225 
  9226 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9227 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9228 
  9229 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9230 distribution being used.
  9231 
  9232 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9233 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9234 theories.
  9235 
  9236 
  9237 
  9238 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9239 --------------------------------
  9240 
  9241 *** General ***
  9242 
  9243 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9244   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9245 
  9246 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9247   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9248   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9249   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9250   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9251   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9252   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9253   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9254   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9255   existing theory and ML files.
  9256 
  9257 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9258 
  9259 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9260   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9261   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9262   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9263 
  9264 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9265   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9266   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9267   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9268 
  9269 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9270   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9271   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9272 
  9273 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9274   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9275   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9276   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9277   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9278 
  9279 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9280   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9281 
  9282 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9283   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9284   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9285 
  9286 
  9287 *** Isar ***
  9288 
  9289 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9290   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9291   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9292     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9293     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9294     emulations.
  9295   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9296     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9297     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9298 
  9299 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9300   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9301     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9302     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9303   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9304 
  9305 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9306   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9307   and derived forms.
  9308 
  9309 * Locales:
  9310   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9311     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9312     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9313     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9314   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9315     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9316   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9317     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9318   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9319         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9320     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9321     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9322     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9323     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9324     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9325       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9326     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9327     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9328     with "locale (open)".
  9329       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9330 
  9331 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9332   (Isar) contexts.
  9333 
  9334 
  9335 *** HOL ***
  9336 
  9337 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9338   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9339   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9340   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9341   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9342 
  9343 * Simplifier:
  9344   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9345     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9346     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9347     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9348     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9349   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9350     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9351     is solved by simplification already.
  9352 
  9353 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9354     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9355 
  9356 * Numerics:
  9357   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9358     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9359   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9360     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9361   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9362     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9363     exponentiation).
  9364 
  9365 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9366 
  9367 * Records:
  9368   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9369     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9370     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9371   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9372     (not enabled by default).
  9373   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9374     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9375   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9376 
  9377 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9378   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9379   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9380 
  9381 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9382 
  9383 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9384 
  9385 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9386   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9387 
  9388 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9389   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9390 
  9391 * Unions and Intersections:
  9392   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9393   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9394   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9395   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9396 
  9397 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9398   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9399   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9400   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9401 
  9402 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9403   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9404 
  9405 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9406   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9407 
  9408 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9409   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9410   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9411 
  9412 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9413   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9414   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9415   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9416   for examples.
  9417 
  9418 
  9419 *** HOLCF ***
  9420 
  9421 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9422 
  9423 
  9424 
  9425 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9426 ------------------------------
  9427 
  9428 *** General ***
  9429 
  9430 * Provers/simplifier:
  9431 
  9432   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9433     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9434     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9435     the order of assumptions.
  9436 
  9437     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9438 
  9439     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9440        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9441 
  9442         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9443 
  9444        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9445 
  9446         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9447 
  9448        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9449        kind of problem.
  9450 
  9451     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9452        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9453        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9454        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9455        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9456        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9457        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9458 
  9459   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9460 
  9461   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9462     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9463     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9464     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9465     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9466     the simplifier would diverge.
  9467 
  9468   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9469 
  9470   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9471     congruence is ignored.
  9472 
  9473 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9474   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9475   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9476 
  9477 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9478 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9479    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9480 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9481 
  9482 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9483 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9484       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9485 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9486 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9487 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9488 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9489 
  9490 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9491 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9492 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9493 assumption failed.
  9494 
  9495 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9496 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9497 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9498 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9499 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9500 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9501 on the old view without predicates;
  9502 
  9503 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9504 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9505 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9506 
  9507 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9508 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9509 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9510 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9511 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9512 be given (the default is 40);
  9513 
  9514 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9515 (batch-mode only);
  9516 
  9517 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9518 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9519 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9520 
  9521 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9522 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9523 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9524 
  9525 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9526 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9527 
  9528 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9529 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9530 
  9531 
  9532 *** HOL ***
  9533 
  9534 * arith(_tac)
  9535 
  9536  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9537    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9538    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9539    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9540 
  9541  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9542 
  9543  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9544    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9545    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9546 
  9547 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9548 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9549 
  9550 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9551 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9552 
  9553 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9554 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9555 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9556 
  9557 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9558 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9559 
  9560 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9561 definition;
  9562 
  9563 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9564 Finite_Set);
  9565 
  9566 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9567 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9568 
  9569 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9570   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9571 
  9572 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9573 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9574 of the empty set.
  9575 
  9576 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9577 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9578 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9579 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9580 
  9581 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9582 
  9583 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9584 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9585 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9586 
  9587 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9588 
  9589 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9590 Fleuriot);
  9591 
  9592 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9593 
  9594 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9595 Gray and Kramer);
  9596 
  9597 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9598 
  9599 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9600 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9601 
  9602 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9603 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9604 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9605 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9606 assignment, exceptions.
  9607 
  9608 
  9609 *** ZF ***
  9610 
  9611 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9612 universe, etc.);
  9613 
  9614 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9615 
  9616 
  9617 *** ML ***
  9618 
  9619 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9620 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9621 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9622 
  9623 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9624 
  9625 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9626 up simprocs;
  9627 
  9628 
  9629 *** Document preparation ***
  9630 
  9631 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9632 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9633 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9634 
  9635 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9636 other packages
  9637 
  9638 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9639 broke \Rightarrow)
  9640 
  9641 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9642 textcomp package)
  9643 
  9644 
  9645 
  9646 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9647 --------------------------------
  9648 
  9649 *** Document preparation ***
  9650 
  9651 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9652 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9653 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9654 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9655 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9656 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9657 
  9658 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9659 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9660 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9661 
  9662 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9663 blocks after section headings;
  9664 
  9665 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9666 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9667 
  9668 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9669 better in printed text;
  9670 
  9671 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9672 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9673 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9674 
  9675 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9676 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9677 location;
  9678 
  9679 
  9680 *** Isar ***
  9681 
  9682 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9683   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9684     "case (Suc n)");
  9685   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9686     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9687     instantiation of cases;
  9688   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9689     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9690     rules without further ado;
  9691   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9692     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9693     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9694     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9695     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9696   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9697     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9698     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9699     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9700     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9701     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9702   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9703     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9704     below);
  9705   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9706     success (no backtracking);
  9707   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9708   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9709   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9710     General versions);
  9711   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9712   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9713 
  9714 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9715 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9716 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9717 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9718 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9719 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9720 fails:
  9721 
  9722   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9723 
  9724 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9725 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9726 
  9727 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9728 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9729 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9730 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9731 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9732 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9733 some examples;
  9734 
  9735 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9736 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9737 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9738 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9739 qualified by the locale name);
  9740 
  9741 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9742 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9743 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9744 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9745 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9746 
  9747 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9748 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9749 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9750 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9751 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9752 
  9753 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9754 
  9755 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9756 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9757 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9758 
  9759 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9760 
  9761 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9762 
  9763 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9764 
  9765 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9766 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9767 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9768 
  9769 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9770 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9771 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9772 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9773 proof *scripts*;
  9774 
  9775 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9776 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9777 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9778 especially important for locales);
  9779 
  9780 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9781 mode;
  9782 
  9783 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9784 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9785 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9786 situations;
  9787 
  9788 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9789 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9790 
  9791 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9792 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9793 discontinued;
  9794 
  9795 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9796 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9797 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9798 
  9799 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9800 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9801 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9802 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9803 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9804 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9805 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9806 
  9807 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9808 of introduction rules;
  9809 
  9810 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9811 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9812 conditional rules;
  9813 
  9814 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9815 
  9816 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9817 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9818 
  9819 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9820 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9821 
  9822 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9823 wf_induct_rule;
  9824 
  9825 
  9826 *** HOL ***
  9827 
  9828 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9829 follows:
  9830 
  9831   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9832   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9833 
  9834   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9835   binary representation internally;
  9836 
  9837   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9838   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9839 
  9840 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9841 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9842 
  9843   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9844   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9845   to be spaced properly;
  9846 
  9847   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9848   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9849 
  9850   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9851 
  9852   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9853 
  9854 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9855 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9856 
  9857 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9858 
  9859 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9860 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9861 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9862 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9863 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9864 
  9865 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9866   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9867     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9868     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9869     declared as simp by default;
  9870   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9871     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9872   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9873     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9874   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9875   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9876     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9877     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9878   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9879     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9880 
  9881 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9882 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9883 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9884 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9885 
  9886 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9887 
  9888 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9889         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9890         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9891 
  9892 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9893 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9894 
  9895 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9896 
  9897 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9898 
  9899 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9900 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9901   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9902 
  9903 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9904 in this (rare) case use:
  9905 
  9906   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9907   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9908 
  9909 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9910 MAY FAIL;
  9911 
  9912 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9913 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9914 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9915 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9916 
  9917 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9918 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9919 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9920 
  9921 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9922 expressions;
  9923 
  9924 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9925 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9926 
  9927 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9928 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9929 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9930 
  9931 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9932 
  9933 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9934 the "cases" method);
  9935 
  9936 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9937 Florian Kammller);
  9938 
  9939 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9940 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9941 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9942 
  9943 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9944 
  9945 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9946 
  9947 
  9948 *** HOLCF ***
  9949 
  9950 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9951 operations;
  9952 
  9953 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9954 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9955 
  9956 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9957 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9958 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9959 
  9960 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9961 
  9962 
  9963 *** ZF ***
  9964 
  9965 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9966 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9967 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9968 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9969 
  9970 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9971 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9972 
  9973 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9974 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9975 
  9976 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9977 typeless version of the formalism;
  9978 
  9979 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9980 format;
  9981 
  9982 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9983 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9984 new-style theory format;
  9985 
  9986 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9987 
  9988 
  9989 *** General ***
  9990 
  9991 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9992 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9993 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9994 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9995 
  9996 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9997 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9998 
  9999 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
 10000 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
 10001 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
 10002 properly;
 10003 
 10004 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
 10005 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
 10006 
 10007 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
 10008 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
 10009 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
 10010 type variable);
 10011 
 10012 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
 10013 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
 10014 "type_brackets";
 10015 
 10016 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
 10017 tokens into AST constants;
 10018 
 10019 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
 10020 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
 10021 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
 10022 
 10023 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
 10024 practice);
 10025 
 10026 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
 10027 addSafter;
 10028 
 10029 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
 10030 as well;
 10031 
 10032 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
 10033 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
 10034 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
 10035 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
 10036 support requires further installations, e.g. from
 10037 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
 10038 
 10039 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
 10040 
 10041 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
 10042 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
 10043 
 10044 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
 10045 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
 10046 
 10047 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
 10048 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
 10049 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
 10050 
 10051 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
 10052 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
 10053 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
 10054 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
 10055 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
 10056 
 10057 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
 10058 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
 10059 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
 10060 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
 10061 
 10062 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
 10063 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
 10064 terminal);
 10065 
 10066 
 10067 
 10068 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
 10069 -----------------------------------
 10070 
 10071 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10072 
 10073 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
 10074 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
 10075 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
 10076 
 10077 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
 10078 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
 10079 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
 10080 'split_rule (complete)';
 10081 
 10082 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
 10083 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
 10084 
 10085 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
 10086 
 10087 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
 10088 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
 10089 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
 10090 
 10091 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
 10092 operation;
 10093 
 10094 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
 10095 
 10096 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
 10097 
 10098 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
 10099 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
 10100 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
 10101 
 10102 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
 10103 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
 10104 
 10105 
 10106 *** Document preparation ***
 10107 
 10108 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
 10109 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
 10110 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
 10111 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
 10112 type-writer);
 10113 
 10114 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
 10115 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
 10116 
 10117 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
 10118 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
 10119 
 10120 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
 10121 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
 10122 definitions);
 10123 
 10124 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
 10125 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
 10126 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
 10127 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
 10128 
 10129 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
 10130 fonts;
 10131 
 10132 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
 10133 generation;
 10134 
 10135 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10136 
 10137 
 10138 *** Isar ***
 10139 
 10140 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10141 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10142 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10143 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10144 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10145 
 10146 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10147 rules as well;
 10148 
 10149 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10150 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10151 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10152 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10153 
 10154 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10155 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10156 
 10157 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10158 statements as well;
 10159 
 10160 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10161 
 10162 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10163 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10164 
 10165 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10166 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10167 
 10168 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10169 
 10170 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10171 
 10172 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10173 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10174 
 10175 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10176 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10177 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10178 
 10179 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10180 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10181 the result to be shown in each case;
 10182 
 10183 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10184 
 10185 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10186 
 10187 
 10188 *** HOL ***
 10189 
 10190 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10191 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10192 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10193 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10194 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10195 
 10196 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10197 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10198 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10199 
 10200 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10201 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10202 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10203 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10204 literature;
 10205 
 10206 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10207 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10208 operator \<Sum>;
 10209 
 10210 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10211 HOL/subset.thy);
 10212 
 10213 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10214 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10215 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10216 
 10217 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10218 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10219 
 10220 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10221 rules with string literals);
 10222 
 10223 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10224  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10225  functions for the reals;
 10226 
 10227 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10228 
 10229 
 10230 *** CTT ***
 10231 
 10232 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10233 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10234 
 10235 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10236 and Arith);
 10237 
 10238 
 10239 *** General ***
 10240 
 10241 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10242 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10243 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10244 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10245 
 10246 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10247 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10248 
 10249 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10250 as assumptions as well;
 10251 
 10252 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10253 
 10254 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10255 
 10256 
 10257 
 10258 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10259 ----------------------------------
 10260 
 10261 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10262 
 10263 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10264 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10265 issue the following ML commands:
 10266 
 10267   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10268   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10269 
 10270 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10271 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10272 
 10273 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10274 
 10275 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10276 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10277 
 10278   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10279   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10280   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10281   selectI2         -> someI2
 10282   selectI          -> someI
 10283   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10284   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10285   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10286 
 10287 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10288 
 10289 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10290 instead);
 10291 
 10292 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10293 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10294 
 10295 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10296 
 10297 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10298 sometimes be needed;
 10299 
 10300 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10301 
 10302 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10303 
 10304 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10305 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10306 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10307 
 10308 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10309 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10310 
 10311 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10312 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10313 
 10314   syntax (symbols)
 10315     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10316       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10317 
 10318 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10319 
 10320 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10321 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10322 internally;
 10323 
 10324 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10325 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10326 
 10327 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10328 proofs;
 10329 
 10330 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10331 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10332 
 10333 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10334 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10335 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10336 "rule del";
 10337 
 10338 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10339 
 10340 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10341 
 10342 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10343 lib/texinputs);
 10344 
 10345 
 10346 *** Document preparation ***
 10347 
 10348 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10349 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10350 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10351 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10352 
 10353 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10354 including proper document sources;
 10355 
 10356 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10357 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10358 of isatool usedir;
 10359 
 10360 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10361 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10362 LaTeX debugging;
 10363 
 10364 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10365 
 10366 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10367 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10368 graph for 'all sessions';
 10369 
 10370 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10371 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10372 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10373 
 10374 
 10375 *** Isar ***
 10376 
 10377 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10378 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10379 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10380 
 10381 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10382 generalized existence reasoning;
 10383 
 10384 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10385 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10386 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10387 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10388 premises;
 10389 
 10390 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10391 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10392 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10393 to theorems as "tags";
 10394 
 10395 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10396 class/type/const name spaces;
 10397 
 10398 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10399 indicate potential overloading;
 10400 
 10401 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10402 
 10403 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10404 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10405 
 10406 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10407 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10408 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10409 
 10410 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10411 case name 'antecedent';
 10412 
 10413 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10414 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10415 
 10416 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10417 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10418 
 10419 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10420 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10421 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10422 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10423 
 10424 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10425 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10426 
 10427 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10428 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10429 well (including splits);
 10430 
 10431 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10432 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10433 
 10434 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10435 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10436 
 10437 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10438 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10439 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10440 
 10441 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10442 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10443 calculations;
 10444 
 10445 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10446 method anyway;
 10447 
 10448 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10449 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10450 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10451 
 10452 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10453 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10454 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10455 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10456 
 10457 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10458 
 10459 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10460 
 10461 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10462 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10463 proof states;
 10464 
 10465 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10466 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10467 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10468 
 10469 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10470 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10471 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10472 (for HOL datatypes);
 10473 
 10474 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10475 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10476 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10477 
 10478 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10479 
 10480 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10481 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10482 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10483 
 10484 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10485 
 10486 
 10487 *** HOL ***
 10488 
 10489 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10490 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10491 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10492 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10493 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10494 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10495 
 10496 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10497 Clemens Ballarin;
 10498 
 10499 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10500 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10501 Rasmussen;
 10502 
 10503 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10504 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10505 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10506 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10507 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10508 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10509 
 10510 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10511 von Oheimb;
 10512 
 10513 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10514 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10515 
 10516 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10517 
 10518 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10519 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10520 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10521 
 10522 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10523 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10524 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10525 
 10526 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10527 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10528 
 10529 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10530 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10531 
 10532 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10533    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10534    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10535   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10536     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10537   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10538     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10539 
 10540 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10541 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10542 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10543 
 10544 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10545 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10546 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10547 
 10548 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10549 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10550 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10551 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10552 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10553 
 10554 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10555 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10556 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10557 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10558 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10559 each equation;
 10560 
 10561 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10562 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10563 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10564 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10565 
 10566 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10567 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10568 
 10569 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10570 
 10571 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10572 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10573 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10574 
 10575 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10576 
 10577 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10578 main HOL, but was unused);
 10579 
 10580 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10581 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10582 
 10583 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10584 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10585 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10586 bogus);
 10587 
 10588 
 10589 *** ZF ***
 10590 
 10591 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10592 expressions over nat and int;
 10593 
 10594 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10595 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10596 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10597 
 10598 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10599 using the function intify;
 10600 
 10601 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10602 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10603 
 10604 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10605 simplification;
 10606 
 10607 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10608 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10609 
 10610 
 10611 *** General ***
 10612 
 10613 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10614 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10615 
 10616 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10617 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10618 
 10619 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10620 explicit make_elim);
 10621 
 10622 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10623   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10624 use instead the strong form,
 10625   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10626 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10627 from destruct-rules;
 10628 
 10629 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10630 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10631 
 10632 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10633 
 10634 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10635 for hiding of names;
 10636 
 10637 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10638 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10639 situations;
 10640 
 10641 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10642 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10643 Poly/ML);
 10644 
 10645 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10646 useful for remote X11);
 10647 
 10648 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10649 
 10650 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10651 order;
 10652 
 10653 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10654 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10655 
 10656 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10657 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10658 
 10659 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10660 overloading (usually false);
 10661 
 10662 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10663 results;
 10664 
 10665 
 10666 
 10667 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10668 --------------------------------
 10669 
 10670 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10671 
 10672 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10673 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10674 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10675 
 10676     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10677 
 10678 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10679 complement;
 10680 
 10681 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10682 
 10683 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10684   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10685 
 10686 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10687 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10688 
 10689 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10690 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10691 
 10692 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10693 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10694 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10695 
 10696 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10697 
 10698 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10699         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10700 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10701 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10702         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10703 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10704 
 10705 
 10706 *** Proof tools ***
 10707 
 10708 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10709 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10710 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10711 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10712 
 10713 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10714      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10715   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10716   matching.
 10717 
 10718 
 10719 *** General ***
 10720 
 10721 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10722 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10723 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10724 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10725 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10726 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10727 
 10728 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10729 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10730 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10731 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10732 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10733 
 10734 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10735 Isabelle/Isar;
 10736 
 10737 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10738 using the graph browser tool;
 10739 
 10740 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10741 
 10742 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10743 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10744 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10745 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10746 isatool doc ref);
 10747 
 10748 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10749 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10750 
 10751 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10752 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10753 
 10754 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10755 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10756 Isabelle;
 10757 
 10758 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10759 
 10760 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10761 empty;
 10762 
 10763 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10764 long arrows);
 10765 
 10766 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10767 
 10768 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10769 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10770 
 10771 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10772 mode and goal output format:
 10773 
 10774 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10775 244c244
 10776 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10777 ---
 10778 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10779 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10780 181c181
 10781 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10782 ---
 10783 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10784 
 10785 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10786 
 10787 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10788 
 10789 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10790 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10791 result still apply;
 10792 
 10793 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10794 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10795 
 10796 
 10797 *** HOL ***
 10798 
 10799 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10800 
 10801 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10802 int:
 10803 
 10804 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10805 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10806 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10807 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10808 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10809 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10810 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10811 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10812 
 10813 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10814 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10815 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10816 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10817 simplifier.
 10818 
 10819 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10820 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10821 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10822 
 10823 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10824 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10825 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10826 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10827 type constraints;
 10828 
 10829 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10830 arguments;
 10831 
 10832 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10833 are now available;
 10834 
 10835 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10836 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10837 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10838 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10839 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10840   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10841 
 10842 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10843 
 10844 
 10845 ** HOL misc **
 10846 
 10847 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10848 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10849 
 10850 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10851 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10852 
 10853 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10854 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10855 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10856 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10857 
 10858 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10859   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10860   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10861   "mono" attribute);
 10862 
 10863 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10864   (using function types) such as
 10865 
 10866   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10867 
 10868 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10869 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10870 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10871 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10872 
 10873   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10874   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10875 
 10876 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10877 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10878 
 10879 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10880 names rather than an ML expression;
 10881 
 10882 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10883 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10884     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10885 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10886 
 10887 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10888 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10889 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10890 
 10891 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10892 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10893 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10894 
 10895 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10896 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10897 
 10898 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10899 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10900 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10901 
 10902 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10903 
 10904 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10905 thus available for user theories;
 10906 
 10907 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10908 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10909 time;
 10910 
 10911 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10912 several times and then mp;
 10913 
 10914 
 10915 *** LK ***
 10916 
 10917 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10918 formulas;
 10919 
 10920 * the simplifier is now installed
 10921 
 10922 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10923 
 10924 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10925 
 10926 
 10927 *** ZF ***
 10928 
 10929 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10930 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10931 
 10932 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10933 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10934 
 10935 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10936 
 10937 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10938 constructors;
 10939 
 10940 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10941 type-checking rules;
 10942 
 10943 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10944 to the claset;
 10945 
 10946 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10947 if(P,x,y);
 10948 
 10949 
 10950 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10951 
 10952 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10953 
 10954 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10955 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10956 
 10957 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10958 
 10959 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10960 printing empty lines;
 10961 
 10962 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10963 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10964 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10965 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10966 
 10967 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10968 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10969 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10970 
 10971 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10972 now of type real instead of int;
 10973 
 10974 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10975 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10976 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10977 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10978 
 10979 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10980 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10981 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10982 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10983 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10984 
 10985 
 10986 
 10987 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10988 ----------------------------------
 10989 
 10990 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10991 
 10992 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10993 
 10994 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10995 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10996 
 10997 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10998 called `inj_on';
 10999 
 11000 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 11001   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 11002   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 11003 
 11004 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 11005 required);
 11006 
 11007 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 11008 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 11009 now taken as an integer constant.
 11010 
 11011 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 11012 
 11013 
 11014 *** Proof tools ***
 11015 
 11016 * Simplifier:
 11017   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 11018      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 11019         simplify.
 11020      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 11021         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 11022      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 11023      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 11024   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 11025 
 11026 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 11027 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 11028 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 11029 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 11030 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 11031 one (emitting a warning).
 11032   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 11033   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 11034   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 11035   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 11036   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 11037 
 11038 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 11039 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 11040 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 11041 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 11042 by Force_tac;
 11043 
 11044 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 11045 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 11046 
 11047 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 11048 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 11049 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 11050 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 11051 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 11052 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 11053 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 11054 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 11055 split_all_tac for record fields.
 11056 
 11057 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 11058 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 11059 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 11060 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 11061 
 11062 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 11063 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 11064 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 11065 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 11066 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 11067 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 11068 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 11069 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 11070 t is the name of the datatype).
 11071 
 11072 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 11073 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 11074 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 11075 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 11076 
 11077 
 11078 *** General ***
 11079 
 11080 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 11081 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 11082 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 11083 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 11084 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 11085 (backup your sources first!);
 11086 
 11087 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 11088 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 11089 
 11090 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 11091 definitions that have local scope;
 11092 
 11093 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 11094 
 11095 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 11096 (e.g. package initialization);
 11097 
 11098 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 11099 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 11100 
 11101 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 11102 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 11103 
 11104 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 11105 
 11106 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 11107 
 11108 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 11109 
 11110 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 11111 
 11112 
 11113 *** HOL ***
 11114 
 11115 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 11116 
 11117 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 11118 definitions such as
 11119 
 11120   inductive EVEN ODD
 11121     intrs
 11122       null "0 : EVEN"
 11123       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 11124       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 11125 
 11126 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 11127 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 11128 correctly (also ZF);
 11129 
 11130 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 11131 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 11132 contained in "induct";
 11133 
 11134 
 11135 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11136 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11137 
 11138   datatype
 11139     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11140             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11141             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11142             | NUM 'a
 11143   and
 11144     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11145             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11146             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11147 
 11148 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11149 
 11150   datatype
 11151     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11152                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11153 
 11154 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11155 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11156 
 11157 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11158 <function_name>.simps.
 11159 
 11160 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11161 
 11162   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11163     ancestor.
 11164   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11165     generic induct_tac instead.
 11166   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11167     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11168     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11169     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11170   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11171     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11172   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11173     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11174     sort constraints.
 11175   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11176     of recursive argument.
 11177 
 11178 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11179 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11180 
 11181 
 11182 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11183 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11184 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11185 support is as follows:
 11186 
 11187   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11188 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11189 
 11190   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11191 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11192 
 11193   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11194 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11195 
 11196 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11197 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11198 the name of your record type.
 11199 
 11200 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11201 
 11202   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11203 
 11204 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11205 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11206 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11207 solve record problems automatically.
 11208 
 11209 
 11210 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11211 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11212 
 11213 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11214 
 11215 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11216 
 11217 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11218 
 11219 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11220 
 11221 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11222 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11223 with add/delsplits);
 11224 
 11225 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11226 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11227 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11228 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11229 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11230 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11231 %u.f();
 11232 
 11233 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11234 makes more sense);
 11235 
 11236 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11237   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11238   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11239 
 11240 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11241 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11242 literature);
 11243 
 11244 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11245 the well-founded relation;
 11246 
 11247 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11248     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11249     release ONLY.
 11250 
 11251 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11252     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11253 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11254 
 11255 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11256 
 11257 * HOL/List:
 11258   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11259     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11260   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11261     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11262     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11263   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11264 
 11265 * HOL/Arith:
 11266   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11267   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11268   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11269   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11270 
 11271 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11272 instead of "inverse";
 11273 
 11274 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11275   of the multiset ordering;
 11276 
 11277 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11278   (not included by default);
 11279 
 11280 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11281 
 11282 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11283   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11284 
 11285 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11286   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11287   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11288 
 11289 
 11290 *** ZF ***
 11291 
 11292 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11293   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11294 
 11295 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11296   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11297   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11298 
 11299 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11300     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11301   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11302 
 11303 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11304 
 11305 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11306   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11307   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11308 
 11309 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11310     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11311 
 11312 
 11313 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11314 
 11315 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11316 also src/Pure/README;
 11317 
 11318 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11319 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11320 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11321 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11322 
 11323 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11324 are qualified by default;
 11325 
 11326 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11327 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11328 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11329 
 11330 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11331 cterm -> thm;
 11332 
 11333 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11334 subgoal;
 11335 
 11336 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11337 
 11338 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11339 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11340 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11341 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11342 for example;
 11343 
 11344 
 11345 
 11346 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11347 --------------------------------
 11348 
 11349 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11350 
 11351 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11352 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11353 
 11354 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11355 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11356 
 11357 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11358 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11359 
 11360 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11361 
 11362 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11363 
 11364 
 11365 *** General Changes ***
 11366 
 11367 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11368 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11369 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11370 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11371 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11372 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11373 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11374 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11375 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11376 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11377 section;
 11378 
 11379 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11380 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11381 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11382 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11383 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11384 
 11385 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11386 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11387 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11388 
 11389 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11390 conditional equations;
 11391 
 11392 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11393 
 11394 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11395 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11396 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11397 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11398 
 11399 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11400 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11401 
 11402 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11403 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11404 
 11405 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11406 show_types);
 11407 
 11408 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11409 
 11410 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11411 
 11412 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11413 
 11414 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11415 
 11416 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11417 
 11418 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11419     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11420 
 11421 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11422 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11423 
 11424 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11425 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11426 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11427 
 11428 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11429 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11430 
 11431 
 11432 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11433 
 11434 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11435 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11436 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11437 
 11438 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11439 
 11440 
 11441 *** Simplifier ***
 11442 
 11443 * added simplification meta rules:
 11444     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11445 
 11446 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11447 logics (again);
 11448 
 11449 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11450 
 11451 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11452   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11453   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11454 
 11455 
 11456 *** Syntax ***
 11457 
 11458 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11459 
 11460 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11461 
 11462 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11463 
 11464 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11465 
 11466 
 11467 *** HOL ***
 11468 
 11469 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11470   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11471 
 11472 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11473 
 11474 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11475   protocol TLS;
 11476 
 11477 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11478 
 11479 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11480 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11481 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11482 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11483 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11484 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11485 
 11486 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11487   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11488   are rewritten to
 11489   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11490   and those of the form
 11491   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11492   are rewritten to
 11493   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11494 
 11495 * HOL/datatype
 11496   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11497 
 11498   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11499      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11500         ...
 11501        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11502      )
 11503 
 11504   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11505 
 11506   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11507     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11508         ...
 11509        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11510      )
 11511   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11512   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11513   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11514 
 11515 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11516   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11517     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11518     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11519   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11520     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11521     `standard'.
 11522 
 11523 * HOL/Lists:
 11524   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11525   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11526   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11527 
 11528 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11529 
 11530 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11531   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11532 
 11533 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11534 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11535 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11536 
 11537 
 11538 *** HOLCF ***
 11539 
 11540 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11541 
 11542 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11543   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11544 
 11545 * domain package:
 11546   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11547   . creates hierachical name space,
 11548   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11549   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11550   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11551   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11552   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11553     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11554 
 11555 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11556 
 11557 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11558 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11559 
 11560 
 11561 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11562 
 11563 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11564   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11565 
 11566 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11567 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11568 
 11569 
 11570 
 11571 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11572 ------------------------------
 11573 
 11574 *** General Changes ***
 11575 
 11576 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11577 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11578 
 11579 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11580 
 11581 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11582 
 11583 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11584 messages and clean internal interface;
 11585 
 11586 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11587 setting goals_limit);
 11588 
 11589 
 11590 *** Syntax ***
 11591 
 11592 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11593 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11594 
 11595 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11596 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11597 "symbols" syntax table;
 11598 
 11599 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11600 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11601 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11602 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11603 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11604 
 11605 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11606 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11607 version of xterm);
 11608 
 11609 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11610 
 11611 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11612 access type of constant);
 11613 
 11614 
 11615 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11616 
 11617 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11618 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11619   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11620   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11621         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11622   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11623   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11624     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11625   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11626 
 11627 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11628 assumptions;
 11629 
 11630 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11631 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11632 (and access functions for it);
 11633 
 11634 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11635   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11636   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11637     safe steps.
 11638   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11639     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11640     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11641 
 11642 *** Simplifier ***
 11643 
 11644 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11645 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11646 redex);
 11647 
 11648 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11649 
 11650 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11651 
 11652 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11653 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11654 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11655 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11656 
 11657 
 11658 *** HOL ***
 11659 
 11660 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11661 also for type `nat';
 11662 
 11663 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11664 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11665 
 11666 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11667 
 11668 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11669 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11670 
 11671 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11672 
 11673 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11674 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11675 
 11676 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11677 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11678 
 11679 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11680 infinite lists;
 11681 
 11682 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11683 
 11684 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11685 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11686 
 11687 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11688 
 11689 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11690 
 11691 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11692 
 11693 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11694 
 11695 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11696   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11697   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11698   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11699   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11700   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11701   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11702   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11703   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11704 
 11705 
 11706 *** ZF ***
 11707 
 11708 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11709 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11710 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11711 
 11712 
 11713 
 11714 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11715 ---------------------------------
 11716 
 11717 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11718 
 11719 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11720 
 11721 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11722 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11723 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11724 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11725 
 11726 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11727 
 11728 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11729 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11730 
 11731 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11732 
 11733 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11734 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11735 
 11736 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11737 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11738 
 11739 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11740 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11741 
 11742 
 11743 
 11744 New in Isabelle94-6
 11745 -------------------
 11746 
 11747 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11748 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11749 
 11750 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11751 
 11752 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11753 
 11754 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11755 
 11756 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11757 
 11758 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11759 
 11760 
 11761 
 11762 New in Isabelle94-5
 11763 -------------------
 11764 
 11765 * reduced space requirements;
 11766 
 11767 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11768 
 11769 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11770 
 11771 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11772 
 11773 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11774 
 11775 
 11776 
 11777 New in Isabelle94-4
 11778 -------------------
 11779 
 11780 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11781 
 11782 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11783 
 11784 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11785 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11786 
 11787 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11788 Axiom of Choice;
 11789 
 11790 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11791 
 11792 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11793 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11794 
 11795 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11796 
 11797 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11798 translates to the operator "split";
 11799 
 11800 
 11801 
 11802 New in Isabelle94-3
 11803 -------------------
 11804 
 11805 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11806 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11807         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11808 
 11809 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11810 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11811 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11812 
 11813 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11814 
 11815 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11816 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11817 
 11818 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11819 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11820 
 11821 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11822 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11823 
 11824 
 11825 
 11826 New in Isabelle94-2
 11827 -------------------
 11828 
 11829 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11830 
 11831 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11832 freely;
 11833 
 11834 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11835 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11836 
 11837 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11838 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11839 (theory_of_thm);
 11840 
 11841 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11842 
 11843 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11844 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11845 
 11846 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11847 have been removed;
 11848 
 11849 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11850 
 11851 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11852 
 11853 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11854 types;
