     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
    10 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
    11 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
    12 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
    13 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
    14 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
    15 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
    16 
    17 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
    18 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
    19 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
    20 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
    21 
    22 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
    23 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
    24 
    25 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
    26 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
    27 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
    28 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
    29 dependencies properly.
    30 
    31 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
    32 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
    33 
    34 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
    35 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
    36 
    37 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for
    38 specifications: nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
    39 and "class ... context ...".
    40 
    41 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
    42 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
    43 
    44 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
    45 to name patterns (with clickable results).
    46 
    47 
    48 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    49 
    50 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
    51 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
    52 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
    53 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
    54 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
    55 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
    56 
    57 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
    58 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
    59 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
    60 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
    61 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
    62 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
    63 
    64 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
    65 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
    66 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
    67 that frequently occur in user interaction.
    68 
    69 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
    70 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
    71 
    72 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: output window informs about
    73 accumulated messages; prover transactions are limited to emit maximum
    74 amount of output, before being canceled (cf. system option
    75 "editor_tracing_limit").  This avoids swamping the front-end with
    76 potentially infinite message streams.
    77 
    78 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
    79 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
    80 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
    81 schemes.
    82 
    83 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
    84 symbols.
    85 
    86 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
    87 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
    88 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
    89 
    90 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
    91 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
    92 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS.
    93 
    94 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
    95 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
    96 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
    97 Isabelle distribution.
    98 
    99 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   100 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   101 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   102 
   103 
   104 *** Pure ***
   105 
   106 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   107 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   108 
   109 * Command "export_code": relative file names are interpreted
   110 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than
   111 the rather arbitrary current working directory.
   112 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   113 
   114 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   115 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   116 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   117 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   118 with some care where this is really required.
   119 
   120 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   121 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   122 given given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   123 
   124   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   125 
   126 
   127 *** HOL ***
   128 
   129 * Removed constant "chars".  Prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   130 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   131 
   132 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from Enum.thy
   133 to List.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   134 
   135 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   136 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   137 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   138 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   139 accordingly.
   140 
   141 * Theory "Library/Multiset":
   142 
   143   - Renamed constants
   144       fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold  -- for coherence with other fold combinators
   145 
   146   - Renamed facts
   147       fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm  -- for coherence with fold_comm
   148 
   149 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   150 
   151 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   152 
   153 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   154 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   155 
   156 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type
   157 to lattice type classes.
   158 
   159 * New combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   160 
   161 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist.
   162 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Related changes are:
   163 
   164   - Renamed constants:
   165 
   166       prefix ~> prefixeq
   167       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   168 
   169     Renamed lemmas accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   170 
   171   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument order
   172     (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped old infix
   173     syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.  Renamed lemmas
   174     accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   175 
   176   - New constant "emb" for homeomorphic embedding on lists. New
   177     abbreviation "sub" for special case "emb (op =)".
   178 
   179   - Library/Sublist does no longer provide "order" and "bot" type class
   180     instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   181     interpretations). The type class instances are to be found in
   182     Library/Prefix_Order. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   183 
   184   - The sublist relation from Library/Sublist_Order is now based on
   185     "Sublist.sub". Replaced lemmas:
   186 
   187       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sub_append_le_same_iff
   188       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.emb_append_mono
   189       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.emb_Nil, Sublist.emb_Nil2
   190       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.emb_ConsD
   191       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sub_Cons2'
   192       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sub_Cons2_neq
   193       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sub_Cons'
   194       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sub_drop_many
   195       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sub_filter_left
   196       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sub_rev_drop_many
   197       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sub_append
   198       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sub_same_length
   199       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sub_append'
   200       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   201       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   202       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sub_length
   203 
   204     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   205 
   206 * HOL/Rings: renamed lemmas
   207 
   208 left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   209 right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   210 
   211 in class semiring.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   212 
   213 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural
   214 functors with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting
   215 non-free datatypes.
   216 
   217 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals
   218 (supersedes the AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   219 
   220 * HOL/Probability:
   221   - Add simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability
   222 
   223   - Add induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint)
   224     and for Borel-measurable functions (borel_measurable_induct).
   225 
   226   - The Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a projective family)
   227 
   228 * Library/Countable_Set.thy: Theory of countable sets.
   229 
   230 * Library/Debug.thy and Library/Parallel.thy: debugging and parallel
   231 execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   232 
   233 * Library/FuncSet.thy: Extended support for Pi and extensional and introduce the
   234 extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaces extensional_funcset by an
   235 abbreviation, rename a couple of lemmas from extensional_funcset to PiE:
   236 
   237       extensional_empty ~> PiE_empty
   238       extensional_funcset_empty_domain ~> PiE_empty_domain
   239       extensional_funcset_empty_range ~> PiE_empty_range
   240       extensional_funcset_arb ~> PiE_arb
   241       extensional_funcset_mem > PiE_mem
   242       extensional_funcset_extend_domainI ~> PiE_fun_upd
   243       extensional_funcset_restrict_domain ~> fun_upd_in_PiE
   244       extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq ~> PiE_insert_eq
   245       card_extensional_funcset ~> card_PiE
   246       finite_extensional_funcset ~> finite_PiE
   247 
   248   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   249 
   250 * Library/FinFun.thy: theory of almost everywhere constant functions
   251 (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as Data").
   252 
   253 * Library/Phantom.thy: generic phantom type to make a type parameter
   254 appear in a constant's type. This alternative to adding TYPE('a) as
   255 another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated code.
   256 
   257 * Library/RBT_Impl.thy: efficient construction of red-black trees 
   258 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   259 return a structurally different tree than before. MINOR INCOMPATIBILITY.
   260 
   261 * Library/IArray.thy: immutable arrays with code generation.
   262 
   263 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   264 expressions.
   265 
   266 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   267 pointfree expressions.
   268 
   269 * Quickcheck:
   270 
   271   - added an optimisation for equality premises.
   272     It is switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting
   273     the configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   274 
   275 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   276 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   277 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   278 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".
   279 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   280 
   281 * Sledgehammer:
   282 
   283   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   284     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   285   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   286   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   287   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill".
   288   - Renamed options:
   289       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   290       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   291       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   292       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   293 
   294 
   295 *** Document preparation ***
   296 
   297 * Default for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package, instead of
   298 slightly exotic babel/greek.
   299 
   300 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   301 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   302 document/root.tex.
   303 
   304 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   305 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   306 
   307 
   308 *** ML ***
   309 
   310 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   311 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   312 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   313 
   314 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   315 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   316 necessarily printing visible text.
   317 
   318 
   319 *** System ***
   320 
   321 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   322 instead of 4.
   323 
   324 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   325 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   326 for home-made configurations.
   327 
   328 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   329 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   330 
   331 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   332 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   333 build" tool and its examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   334 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   335 
   336 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   337 
   338 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   339 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   340 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   341 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   342 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   343 
   344 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   345 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   346 
   347   isabelle build -s -b HOLCF
   348 
   349 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   350 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   351 
   352 * The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares session root directories for use
   353 with "isabelle build", similar to former "isabelle mkdir" for
   354 "isabelle usedir".
   355 
   356 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   357 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   358 version of Isabelle.
   359 
   360 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   361 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   362 
   363 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   364 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   365 configuration.
   366 
   367 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   368 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   369 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   370 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   371 bundled as Isabelle component.
   372 
   373 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   374 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   375 
   376 
   377 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   378 ------------------------------
   379 
   380 *** General ***
   381 
   382 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   383 
   384   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   385     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   386   - markup for bound variables
   387   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   388   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   389   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   390     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   391 
   392 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   393 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   394 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   395 
   396 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   397 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   398 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   399 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   400 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   401 
   402   context
   403     fixes x y z :: 'a
   404     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   405   begin
   406 
   407   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   408 
   409   end
   410 
   411   thm my_trans
   412 
   413 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   414 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   415 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   416 
   417 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   418 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   419 
   420 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   421 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   422 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   423 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   424 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   425 
   426 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   427 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   428 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   429 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   430 indices of schematic variables.
   431 
   432 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   433 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   434 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   435 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   436 etc. was exploited.
   437 
   438 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   439 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   440 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   441 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   442 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   443 of the material of that old tutorial.
   444 
   445 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   446 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   447 manual.
   448 
   449 
   450 *** Pure ***
   451 
   452 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   453 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   454 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   455 
   456 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   457 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   458 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   459 undocumented feature.)
   460 
   461 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   462 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   463 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   464 
   465   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   466 
   467   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   468     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   469 
   470 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   471 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   472 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   473 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   474 
   475 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   476 
   477     num ~> num_token
   478     xnum ~> xnum_token
   479     xstr ~> str_token
   480 
   481 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   482 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   483 position information via constraints).
   484 
   485 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   486 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   487 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   488 
   489 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   490 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   491 
   492 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   493 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   494 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   495 
   496 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   497 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   498 
   499 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   500 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   501 
   502   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   503 
   504 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   505 
   506 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   507 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   508 
   509 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
   510 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
   511 legacy since Isabelle2011).
   512 
   513 
   514 *** HOL ***
   515 
   516 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
   517 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
   518 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
   519 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
   520 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
   521 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
   522 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
   523 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
   524 possible.
   525 
   526 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
   527 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
   528 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
   529 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
   530 
   531 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
   532 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   533 
   534 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
   535 
   536 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
   537 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
   538 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
   539 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
   540 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
   541 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
   542 
   543   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
   544     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
   545 
   546   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
   547     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
   548     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
   549 
   550   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
   551     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
   552 
   553   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
   554     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
   555     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
   556 
   557   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
   558     Redefine using other integer operations.
   559 
   560 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
   561 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
   562 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
   563 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
   564 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
   565 
   566   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
   567     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
   568     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
   569     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
   570     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
   571 
   572     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
   573     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
   574 
   575   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
   576     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
   577     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
   578     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
   579     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
   580     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
   581     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
   582     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
   583 
   584   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
   585     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
   586     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
   587     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
   588 
   589   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
   590     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
   591     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
   592     after unfolding the constant definitions.
   593 
   594   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
   595     from type nat to type int.
   596 
   597 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
   598 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
   599 
   600   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
   601     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
   602     type.  Example syntax:
   603 
   604     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
   605       is List.insert
   606 
   607     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
   608     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
   609     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
   610     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
   611     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
   612     by the package.
   613 
   614   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
   615     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
   616     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
   617     code generation for each constant.
   618 
   619   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
   620     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
   621     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
   622     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
   623     lift_definition command to work with the type.
   624 
   625   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
   626     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
   627     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
   628 
   629 * Quotient package:
   630 
   631   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
   632     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
   633 
   634   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
   635     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
   636 
   637   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
   638     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
   639     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
   640 
   641   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
   642     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   643 
   644 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
   645 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
   646 
   647 * Quickcheck:
   648 
   649   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
   650     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
   651     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
   652     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
   653     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
   654 
   655     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
   656     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
   657     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
   658 
   659     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
   660     continues searching for genuine ones.
   661 
   662     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
   663     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
   664     show genuine counterexamples.
   665 
   666   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
   667     value generators for a given type and operations.
   668 
   669     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
   670     constructors of that type.
   671 
   672   - Support for multisets.
   673 
   674   - Added "use_subtype" options.
   675 
   676   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
   677     conjectures in a locale context.
   678 
   679 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
   680 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
   681 
   682 * Sledgehammer:
   683   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
   684     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
   685   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
   686   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
   687     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
   688   - Sped up the minimizer.
   689   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
   690   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
   691   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
   692 
   693 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
   694 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
   695 
   696 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
   697 
   698 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   699 
   700 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
   701 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
   702 
   703   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
   704 
   705 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
   706 a list and a nat.
   707 
   708 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
   709 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
   710 
   711 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
   712 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
   713 default.
   714 
   715 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
   716 
   717   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
   718 
   719 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
   720 
   721 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
   722 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
   723 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
   724 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
   725 one_case.
   726 
   727 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
   728 the result of the fact expression.
   729 
   730 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
   731 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
   732 of some relation theorems:
   733 
   734   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
   735   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   736   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
   737   transp_def ~> transp_trans
   738   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
   739   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
   740 
   741 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
   742 
   743 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
   744 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
   745 
   746 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   747 
   748 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
   749 to match the constant's name:
   750 
   751   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
   752   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
   753   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
   754   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
   755   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
   756   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
   757   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
   758   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
   759   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
   760   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
   761   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
   762   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
   763   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
   764   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
   765   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
   766   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
   767   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
   768   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
   769   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
   770   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
   771   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
   772   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
   773   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
   774   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
   775 
   776 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   777 
   778 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
   779 and corresponding theorem names:
   780 
   781   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
   782 
   783   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
   784 
   785   - Renamed theorems:
   786 
   787     rel_compI ~> relcompI
   788     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
   789     rel_compE ~> relcompE

   814 
   815 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   816 
   817 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
   818 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.

   840   mod_mult_distrib2 ~> mult_mod_right
   841 
   842 * Removed redundant theorems nat_mult_2 and nat_mult_2_right; use
   843 generic mult_2 and mult_2_right instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   844 
   845 * Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   846 
   847 * Consolidated theorem names concerning fold combinators:

   869 
   870 * Dropped rarely useful theorems concerning fold combinators:

   877 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
   878 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
   879 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
   880 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".

   886 lemmas over fold rather than foldr, or make use of lemmas
   887 fold_conv_foldr and fold_rev.

  1135 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1183 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1184 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1185 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1186 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1187 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1188 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1189 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1190 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1191 
  1192 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1193 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1194 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1195 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1196 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1197 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1198 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1199 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1200 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1201 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1202 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1203 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1365 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1366 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1367 
  1368 
  1369 *** FOL ***
  1370 
  1371 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1372 
  1373 
  1374 *** ZF ***
  1375 
  1376 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1377 analysis.
  1378 
  1379 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1380 
  1381 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1382 
  1383 
  1384 *** ML ***
  1385 
  1386 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1387 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1388 
  1389 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1390 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1391 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1392 
  1393 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1394 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1395 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1396 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1397 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1398 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1399 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1400 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1401 
  1402 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1403 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1404 
  1405 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1406 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1407 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1408 
  1409 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1410 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1411 
  1412 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1413 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1414 context as well.
  1415 
  1416 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1417 
  1418   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1419   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1420   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  1421   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  1422   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  1423   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  1424   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  1425   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  1426   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1427   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1428   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1429   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1430 
  1431 
  1432 *** System ***
  1433 
  1434 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1435 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1436 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1437 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1438 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1439 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1440 the generic user home was intended.
  1441 
  1442 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1443 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1444 
  1445 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1446 (not just JRE).
  1447 
  1448 
  1449 
  1450 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1451 ------------------------------------
  1452 
  1453 *** General ***
  1454 
  1455 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1456 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1457 
  1458   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1459     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1460     files for checking).
  1461 
  1462   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1463     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1464     positions.
  1465 
  1466   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1467     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1468     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1469 
  1470   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1471     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1472     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1473 
  1474   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1475     cores.
  1476 
  1477   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1478     versions (garbage collection).
  1479 
  1480 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1481 including some remaining limitations.
  1482 
  1483 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1484 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1485 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1486 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1487 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1488 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1489 
  1490 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1491 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1492 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1493 
  1494 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1495 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1496 usedir option -Q.
  1497 
  1498 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1499 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1500 
  1501   long_names   ~> names_long
  1502   short_names  ~> names_short
  1503   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1504 
  1505 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1506 
  1507   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1508 
  1509 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  1510 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  1511 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  1512 
  1513 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  1514 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  1515 
  1516 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  1517   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  1518   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  1519   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  1520     "Classical Reasoner".
  1521 
  1522 
  1523 *** HOL ***
  1524 
  1525 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  1526 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1527 
  1528 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  1529 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  1530 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  1531 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  1532 class complete_linorder.
  1533 
  1534 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  1535 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  1536 
  1537 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  1538 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  1539 
  1540   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  1541   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  1542   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1543   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1544   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1545   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1546   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  1547   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  1548   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  1549   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  1550   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  1551 
  1552 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  1553 
  1554   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  1555   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  1556   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  1567   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  1568   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  1569   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  1570 
  1571 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1572 
  1573 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  1574 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1575 
  1576 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  1577 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  1578 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  1579 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1580 
  1581 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  1582 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  1583 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  1584 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1585 
  1586 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  1587 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  1588 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  1589 
  1590 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  1591 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  1592 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1593 
  1594 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  1595 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  1596 
  1597 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  1598 
  1599     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  1600     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  1601 
  1602 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  1603 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1604 
  1605 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  1606 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1607 
  1608 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  1609 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  1610 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  1611 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1707 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  1708 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  1709 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  1710 
  1711 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  1712 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  1713 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  1714 
  1715 * Code generation:
  1716 
  1717   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  1718     characters in the target language.
  1719 
  1720   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  1721     instead.
  1722 
  1723   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  1724 
  1725   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  1726     reactivated by the following theory command:
  1727 
  1728       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  1729 
  1730 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1731 
  1732 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  1733 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  1734 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  1735 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  1736 syntax.
  1737 
  1738 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  1739 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  1740 
  1741 * Nitpick:
  1742   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  1743   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  1744   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  1745     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1746 
  1747 * Sledgehammer:
  1748   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  1749   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  1750     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  1751   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  1752     this can be done within reasonable time.
  1753   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  1754     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1755   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  1756     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  1757   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  1758     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1759 
  1760 * Metis:
  1761   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1762   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  1763     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1764 
  1765 * Command 'try':
  1766   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  1767     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1768   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  1769     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  1770 
  1771 * Quickcheck:
  1772   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  1773     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1774   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  1775     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1776   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  1777     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  1778     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  1779     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  1780   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  1781     (formly in HOL/Library).
  1782 
  1783 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1784 use 'partial_function' instead.
  1785 
  1786 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  1787 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  1788 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  1789 
  1790 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  1791 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  1792 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1793 
  1794 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  1795 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1796 
  1797 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  1798 arithmetic.
  1799 
  1800 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  1801 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  1802 and lattice type classes.
  1803 
  1804 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  1805 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  1806 
  1807 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  1808 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  1809 
  1810 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  1811 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  1812 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1813 
  1814   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  1815   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  1816   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  1817   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  1818 
  1819 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  1820 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  1821 constants:
  1822 
  1823   type inat   ~> type enat
  1824   Fin         ~> enat
  1825   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  1826   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  1827   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  1828 
  1829 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  1830 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1831 
  1832 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  1833 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  1834 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  1835 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  1836 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  1837 
  1838 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  1839 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  1840 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  1841 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  1842 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  1843 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  1844 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  1845 
  1846   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  1847   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  1848   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  1849   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  1850 
  1851 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  1852 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  1853 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1907 * Session HOL-Probability:
  1908   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  1909   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  1910   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  1911   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  1912     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1943 *** Document preparation ***
  1944 
  1945 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  1946 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  1947 same.
  1948 
  1949 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  1950 result.
  1951 
  1952 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  1953 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  1954 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  1955 
  1956 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  1957 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  1958 
  1959 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  1960 like this:
  1961 
  1962   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  1963   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  1964 
  1965 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  1966 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  1967 layouts.
  1968 
  1969 
  1970 *** ML ***
  1971 
  1972 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  1973 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  1974 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  1975 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  1976 under external program control.
  1977 
  1978 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  1979 data, which requires explicit setup.
  1980 
  1981 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  1982 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  1983 (better known as Proof General).
  1984 
  1985 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1986 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  1987 
  1988 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  1989 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  1990 
  1991 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  1992 (including quotes etc.).
  1993 
  1994 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  1995 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  1996 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  1997 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  1998 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  1999 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2000 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2001 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2002 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2003 
  2004 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2005 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2006 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2007 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2008 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2009 
  2010 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2011 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2012 
  2013 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2014 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2015 
  2016 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2017 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2018 
  2019 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2020 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2021 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2022 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2023 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2024 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2025 proper Proof.context.

  2029 
  2030 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2031 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2032 
  2033 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2034 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2035 
  2036 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2037 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2038 
  2039   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2040   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2041   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2042   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2043   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2044 
  2045 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2046 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2047 
  2048 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2049 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2050 example:
  2051 
  2052   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2053 
  2054 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2055 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2056 
  2057 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2058 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2059 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2060 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2061 
  2062 
  2063 
  2064 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2065 ----------------------------------
  2066 
  2067 *** General ***
  2068 
  2069 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2070 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2071 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2072 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2073 like this:
  2074 
  2075   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2076 
  2077 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2078 
  2079 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2080 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2081 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2082 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2083 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2084 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2085 
  2086 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2087 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2088 the following package declarations:
  2089 
  2090   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2091   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2092 
  2093 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2094 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2095 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2096 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2097 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2098 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2099 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2100 
  2101 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2102 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2103 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2104 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2105 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2106 
  2107 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2108 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2109 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2110 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2111 
  2112 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2113 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2114 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2115 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2116 
  2117   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  2118 
  2119   eta_contract                  eta_contract
  2120   show_brackets                 show_brackets
  2121   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  2122   show_types                    show_types

  2125   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  2126 
  2127   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  2128   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  2129   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2130 
  2131   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2132   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2133 
  2134   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2135 
  2136   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  2137   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  2138   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2139   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2140   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2141 
  2142 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2143 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2144 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2145 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2146 
  2147 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2148 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2149 
  2150   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2151   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2152 
  2153 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2154 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2155 float_token.
  2156 
  2157 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2158 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2159 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2160 
  2161 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2162 DejaVu Sans.
  2163 
  2164 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2165 
  2166 
  2167 *** Pure ***
  2168 
  2169 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2170 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2171 time.
  2172 
  2173 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2174 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2175 
  2176 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2177 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2178 
  2179 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2180 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2181 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2182 command already provided this functionality.
  2183 
  2184 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2185 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2186 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2187 without interpretations.
  2188 
  2189 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2190 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2191 
  2192 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2193 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2194 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2195 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2196 
  2197 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2198 'definition' instead.
  2199 
  2200 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2201 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2202 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2203 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2204 
  2205 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2206 constructors.
  2207 
  2208 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2209 the local file system.
  2210 
  2211 
  2212 *** HOL ***
  2213 
  2214 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2215 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2216 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2217 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2218 
  2219   declare [[coercion f]]
  2220 
  2221 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2222 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2223 
  2224   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2225 
  2226 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2227 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2228 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2229 other theories like this:
  2230 
  2231   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2232 
  2233 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2234 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2235 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2236 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2237 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2238 for examples.
  2239 
  2240 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2241 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2242 
  2243 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2244 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2245 
  2246 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2247 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2248 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2249 
  2250 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2251 functorial structure of types.
  2252 
  2253 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2254 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2255 
  2256 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2257 languages.
  2258 
  2259 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2260 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2261 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2262 
  2263 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2264 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2265 
  2266 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2267 combinators any longer.
  2268 
  2269 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2270 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2271 
  2272 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2273 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2274 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2275 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2276 
  2277   record 'a foo = ...
  2278   ...
  2279   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2280 
  2281 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2282 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2283 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2284 
  2285 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2286 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2287 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2288 
  2289 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2290 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2291 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2292 
  2293 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2294 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2295 
  2296 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2297 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2298 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2299 independently.
  2300 
  2301 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2302 counter example search.
  2303 
  2304 * Sledgehammer:
  2305   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2306     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2307     sledgehammer").
  2308   - Renamed commands:
  2309     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2310     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2311     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2312     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2313   - Renamed options:
  2314     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2315     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2316     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2317     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2318     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2319 
  2320 * Nitpick:
  2321   - Renamed options:
  2322     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2323     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2324     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2325   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2326   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2327   - Added "whack" option.
  2328   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2329   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2330   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2331   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2332     higher cardinalities.
  2333   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2334 
  2335 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2336 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2337 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2338 
  2339     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2340 
  2341 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2342 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2343 
  2344 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2345 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2346 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2347 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2348 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2349 "smt_solver".
  2350 
  2351 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2352 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2353 
  2354 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2355 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2356 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2357 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2358 
  2359 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2360   - Renamed:
  2361     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2362     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2363     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2364   - Added:
  2365     smt_verbose
  2366     smt_random_seed
  2367     smt_datatypes
  2368     smt_infer_triggers
  2369     smt_monomorph_limit
  2370     cvc3_options
  2371     remote_cvc3_options
  2372     remote_z3_options
  2373     yices_options
  2374 
  2375 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2376 header.
  2377 
  2378 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2379 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2380 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2381 
  2382   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2383 
  2384 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2385 
  2386 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2387 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2388 
  2389 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2390 
  2391 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2392 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2393 
  2394 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2395 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2396 
  2397 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2398 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2399 
  2400 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2401 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2402 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2403 
  2404 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2405 
  2406 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2407 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2408 
  2409 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2410 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2411 
  2412 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2413 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2414 for congruent(2)).
  2415 
  2416 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2417 
  2418   types
  2419     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2420     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2421 
  2422   constants
  2423     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  2424     True ~> HOL.True
  2425     False ~> HOL.False
  2426     op & ~> HOL.conj
  2427     op | ~> HOL.disj
  2428     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  2429     op = ~> HOL.eq
  2430     Not ~> HOL.Not
  2431     The ~> HOL.The
  2432     All ~> HOL.All
  2433     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  2434     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  2435     Let ~> HOL.Let
  2436     If ~> HOL.If
  2437     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  2438     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  2439     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  2440     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  2441     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  2442     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  2443     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  2444     op : ~> Set.member
  2445     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2446 
  2447 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2448 
  2449 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2450 
  2451     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2452     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2453     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2454     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2455     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  2456     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  2457     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2458     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2459 
  2460 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2461 
  2462 * More stylized fact names:
  2463 
  2464   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2465   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2466   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2467   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2468 
  2469 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2470 
  2471 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2472 
  2473   constants
  2474     null ~> List.null
  2475 
  2476   facts
  2477     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2478     null_empty ~> null_def
  2479 
  2480 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2481 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2482 generation.
  2483 
  2484 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2485 Haskell code.
  2486 
  2487 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2488 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2489 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2490 
  2491 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2492 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2493 
  2494 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2495 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2496 
  2497 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2498 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2499 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2500 
  2501 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2502 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2503 
  2504 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2505 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2506 
  2507 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2508 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2509 referred to by its qualified name.
  2510 
  2511   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  2512   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  2513   product ~>  Enum.product
  2514 
  2515 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  2516 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  2517 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2518 
  2519 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  2520 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  2521 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  2522 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2523 
  2524 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  2525 sort_key.
  2526 
  2527 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  2528 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2529 
  2530 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  2531 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  2532 instead of finite cartesian products.
  2533 
  2534   types
  2535     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  2536               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  2537               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  2538         (depends on your needs)
  2539 
  2540   constants
  2541      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  2542      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  2543      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  2544 
  2545 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  2546 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  2547 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  2548 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2549 
  2550 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  2551 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  2552 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  2553 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  2554 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2555 
  2556 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  2557 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2558 
  2559 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  2560 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  2561 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  2562 
  2563 
  2564 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  2565 
  2566 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  2567 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  2568 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  2569 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  2570 compatibility.
  2571 
  2572 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  2573 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  2574 
  2575 
  2576 *** HOLCF ***
  2577 
  2578 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  2579 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  2580 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  2581 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2582 
  2583 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  2584 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  2585 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2586 
  2587   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  2588   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  2589   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  2590 
  2591 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  2592 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  2593 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2594 
  2595 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  2596 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  2597 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  2598 domain definition now works:
  2599 
  2600   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  2601 
  2602 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  2603 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  2604 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  2605 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  2606 
  2607   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  2608     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  2609 
  2610   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  2611 
  2612 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  2613 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  2614 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2615 
  2616 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  2617 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2618 
  2619 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  2620 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  2621 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  2622 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  2623 
  2624 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  2625 
  2626 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2627 
  2628 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2629 
  2630 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  2631 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2632 
  2633 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  2634 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  2635 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  2636 
  2637 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  2638 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  2639 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2640 
  2641 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  2642 still supported as an input translation.
  2643 
  2644 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  2645 
  2646   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  2647   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  2648   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  2649   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  2650   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  2651   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  2652   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  2653 
  2654 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  2655 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2656 
  2657   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  2658   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  2659   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  2660   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  2661   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  2662   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  2663 
  2664 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  2665 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2666 
  2667 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  2668 
  2669   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  2670   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  2671   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  2672   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  2673 
  2674 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2675 
  2676 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  2677 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2678 
  2679 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  2680 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2750 
  2751 
  2752 *** FOL and ZF ***
  2753 
  2754 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  2755 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2756 
  2757 
  2758 *** ML ***
  2759 
  2760 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  2761 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  2762 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  2763 
  2764 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  2765 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  2766 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  2767 
  2768 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  2769 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  2770 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  2771 
  2772 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  2773 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  2774 
  2775 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  2776 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  2777 
  2778 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  2779 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  2780 
  2781 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  2782 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  2783 
  2784 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  2785 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  2786 almost all situations.
  2787 
  2788 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  2789 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  2790 Isabelle/ML.
  2791 
  2792 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  2793 meaning.
  2794 
  2795 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  2796 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  2797 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  2798 
  2799 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  2800 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  2801 
  2802 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  2803 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  2804 
  2805 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  2806 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  2807 @{thms} for most purposes.
  2808 
  2809 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  2810 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  2811 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  2812 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  2813 configuration options.
  2814 
  2815 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  2816 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  2817 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  2818 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  2819 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  2820 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  2821 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  2822 
  2823 
  2824 
  2825 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  2826 ---------------------------------
  2827 
  2828 *** General ***
  2829 
  2830 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  2831 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  2832 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  2833 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  2834 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  2835 their full internal name.
  2836 
  2837 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  2838 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  2839 Some hints on upgrading:
  2840 
  2841   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  2842     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  2843     which are independent of this issue.
  2844 
  2845   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  2846     provides the following special forms:
  2847 
  2848       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  2849       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  2850       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  2851 
  2852     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  2853     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  2854     extra variables".
  2855 
  2856     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  2857     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  2858     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  2859     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  2860     "logic".
  2861 
  2862   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  2863     antiquotations:
  2864 
  2865       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  2866       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  2867       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  2868       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  2869 
  2870   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  2871     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  2872     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  2873     antiquotations.
  2874 
  2875 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  2876 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  2877 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  2878 diagnose syntax problems.
  2879 
  2880 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  2881 
  2882 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  2883 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  2884 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  2885 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  2886 
  2887 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  2888 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  2889 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  2890 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2891 
  2892 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  2893 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  2894 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  2895 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  2896 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2897 
  2898 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  2899 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  2900 
  2901 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  2902 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  2903 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  2904 
  2905   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  2906 
  2907 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  2908 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  2909 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  2910 
  2911 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  2912 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  2913 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2914 
  2915 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  2916 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  2917 
  2918 
  2919 *** Pure ***
  2920 
  2921 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  2922 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  2923 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  2924 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  2925 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  2926 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  2927 inspect proof terms.
  2928 
  2929 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  2930 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  2931 are added internally.  For example:
  2932 
  2933   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  2934 
  2935 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  2936 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2937 
  2938 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2939 
  2940 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2941 'class' instead.
  2942 
  2943 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  2944 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  2945 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2946 
  2947 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  2948 invariants.
  2949 
  2950 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  2951 user space functionality any longer.
  2952 
  2953 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  2954 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  2955 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2956 
  2957 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  2958 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  2959 
  2960 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  2961 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  2962 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  2963 
  2964 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  2965 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  2966 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  2967 
  2968 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  2969 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2970 
  2971 
  2972 *** HOL ***
  2973 
  2974 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  2975 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  2976 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  2977 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  2978 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  2979 
  2980 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  2981 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  2982 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  2983 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  2984 
  2985   fun
  2986     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  2987   where
  2988     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  2989 
  2990   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  2991     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  2992 
  2993   quotient_definition
  2994     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  2995 
  2996 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  2997 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  2998 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  2999 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3000 
  3001 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3002 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3003 
  3004 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3005 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3006 
  3007 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3008 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3009 
  3010 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3011 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3012 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3013 
  3014 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3015 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3016 
  3017 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3018 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3019 
  3020 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3021 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3022 
  3023 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3024 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3025 
  3026 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3027 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3028 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3060 
  3061 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3062 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3063 
  3064 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3065 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3066 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3067 
  3068 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3069 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3070 
  3071 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3072 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3073 
  3074 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3075 
  3076 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3077 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3078 
  3079 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3080 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3081 
  3082 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3083 
  3084 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3085 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3086 
  3087 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3088 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3089 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3090 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3091 
  3092 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3093   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3094   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3095   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3096 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3097 
  3098 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3099 lattices):
  3100 
  3101     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3137     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  3138 
  3139   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3140   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3141 
  3142     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3143     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3144     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3145     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3146     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3147 
  3148 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3149 
  3150 * Refined field classes:
  3151   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3152     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3153     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3154   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3155 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3156 
  3157 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3158   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3159   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3160   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3161     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3162   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3163     equal_neg_zero.
  3164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3165 
  3166 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3167 sets to lattices:
  3168 
  3169   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3170   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3171   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf

  3178   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3179 
  3180 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3181 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3182 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3183 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3184 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3185 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3186 
  3187 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3188 multiset order:
  3189 
  3190   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3191     <= and <;
  3192   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3193     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3194     multiset_order;
  3195   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3196     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3197     generation;
  3198   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3199     if needed.
  3200 
  3201 Renamed:
  3202 
  3203   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3204   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3205   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3206 
  3207 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3208 
  3209 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3210 
  3211 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3212 
  3213 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3214 
  3215 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3216 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3217 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3249 * Sledgehammer:
  3250   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3251     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3252     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3253     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages

  3255     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3256     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3257   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3258   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3259     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3260   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3261     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3262     is still experimental.)
  3263   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3264     full-typed mode.
  3265   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3266 
  3267 * Nitpick:
  3268   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3269   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3270   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3271     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3272   - Added support for quotient types.
  3273   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3274     constructs.
  3275   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3276     "termination" proofs).
  3277   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3278   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3279   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3280   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3281     record getters.
  3282   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3283   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3284   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3285   - Added "atoms" option.
  3286   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3287     problems.
  3288   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3289     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3290     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3291   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3292     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3293   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3294 
  3295 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3296   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3297   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3298   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3299   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3300   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3301   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3302   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3303   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3304   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3305 
  3306 
  3307 *** HOLCF ***
  3308 
  3309 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3310 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3311 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3312 
  3313 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3314 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3315 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3316 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3317 
  3318 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3319 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3320 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3321 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3322 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3323 
  3324 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3325 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3326 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3327 
  3328 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3329 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3330 
  3331   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3332   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3333 
  3334 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3335 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3336 
  3337   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3338   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3339   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3340   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3341   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3342 
  3343 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3344 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3345 
  3346   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3347   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3348   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3349 
  3350 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3351 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3352 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3353 
  3354 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3355 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3356 
  3357 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3358 
  3359 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3360 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3361 
  3362 
  3363 *** ML ***
  3364 
  3365 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3366 
  3367     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3368     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3369 
  3370     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3371     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3372     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3373     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3374 
  3375     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3376     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3377     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3378 
  3379 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3380 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3381 
  3382 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3383 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3384 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3385 
  3386 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3387 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3388 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3389 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3390 
  3391 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3392 the context or even global references.
  3393 
  3394 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3395 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3396 
  3397 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3398 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3399 
  3400   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3401   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3402   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3403   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3404   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3405   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3406   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3407   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3408   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3409   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3410 
  3411 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3412 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3413 
  3414 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3415 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3416 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3417 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3418 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3419 
  3420 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3421 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3422 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3423 Theory_Data version.
  3424 
  3425 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3426 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3427 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3428 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3429 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3430 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3431 explicitly in rare situations.
  3432 
  3433 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3434 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3435 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3436 
  3437 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3438 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3439 
  3440 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3441 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3442 quite rare).
  3443 
  3444 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3445 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3446 
  3447 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3448 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3449 terms.
  3450 
  3451 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3452 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3453 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3454 
  3455 
  3456 *** System ***
  3457 
  3458 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3459 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3460 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3461 
  3462 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3463 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3464 respectively.
  3465 
  3466 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3467 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3468 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3469 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3470 
  3471   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3472 
  3473 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3474 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3475 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3476 component.
  3477 
  3478 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3479 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3480 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3481 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3482 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3483 the user for manual installation.
  3484 
  3485 
  3486 
  3487 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3488 -------------------------------------
  3489 
  3490 *** General ***
  3491 
  3492 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3493 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3494 
  3495 
  3496 *** Pure ***
  3497 
  3498 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3499 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3500 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3501 
  3502 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3503 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3504 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3505 
  3506 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3507 interpretation.
  3508 
  3509 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  3510 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3511 
  3512 
  3513 *** Document preparation ***
  3514 
  3515 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  3516 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  3517 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  3518 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  3519 
  3520 
  3521 *** HOL ***
  3522 
  3523 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  3524 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  3525 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  3526 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  3527 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  3528 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  3529 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  3530 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  3531 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  3532 
  3533 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  3534 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  3535 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  3536 
  3537 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  3538 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  3539 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  3540 
  3541 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  3542 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  3543 
  3544 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  3545 
  3546 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  3547 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  3548 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  3549 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  3550 
  3551 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  3552 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  3553 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  3554 "mirabelle" utility.
  3555 
  3556 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  3557 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  3558 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  3559 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  3560 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  3561 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  3562 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  3563 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  3564 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  3565 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  3566 
  3567 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  3568 procedure only.
  3569 
  3570 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  3571 
  3572 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  3573 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  3574 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  3575 that fail later.
  3576 
  3577 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  3578 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  3579 
  3580 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  3581 the same method as the approximation method.
  3582 
  3583 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  3584 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  3585 series expansion.
  3586 
  3587 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  3588 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  3589 
  3590 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  3591 reals.
  3592 
  3593 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  3594 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  3595 
  3596 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  3597 fixpoint theorem.
  3598 
  3599 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3600   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  3601     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  3602   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  3603     accordingly
  3604   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  3605     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  3606   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  3607     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  3608 
  3609 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  3610 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  3611 lattice.
  3612 
  3613 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  3614 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  3615 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  3616 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  3617 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  3618 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  3619 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3620 
  3621 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  3622   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  3623     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  3624   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  3625     le_inf_iff
  3626   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  3627     sup_aci)
  3628   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  3629   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  3630   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  3631     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  3632     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  3633     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  3634     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  3635     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  3636     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  3637     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  3638     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  3639     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  3640     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  3641   - authentic syntax for
  3642     Set.Pow
  3643     Set.image
  3644   - mere abbreviations:
  3645     Set.empty               (for bot)
  3646     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  3647     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  3648     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  3649     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  3650     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  3651     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  3652     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  3653   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  3654 
  3655 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  3656 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  3657 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  3658 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  3659 
  3660 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  3661 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  3662 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3663 
  3664 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  3665 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3666 
  3667 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  3668 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  3669 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  3670 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3671 
  3672 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  3673 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3674 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  3675 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  3676 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  3677 
  3678 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  3679 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  3680 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3681 
  3682 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  3683 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3684 
  3685 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  3686 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  3687 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  3688 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  3689 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  3690 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  3691 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  3692 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3693 
  3694 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  3695     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  3696     code_post       replaces    code post
  3697     etc.
  3698   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3699 
  3700 * Renamed methods:
  3701     sizechange -> size_change
  3702     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  3703   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3704 
  3705 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  3706 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  3707 
  3708 * Renamed theorems:
  3709     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3710     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  3711     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3712     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  3713     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  3714   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3715 
  3716 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  3717 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3718 
  3719 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  3720 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3721 
  3722 
  3723 *** HOLCF ***
  3724 
  3725 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  3726 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  3727 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  3728 
  3729 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  3730 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  3731 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  3732 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  3733 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  3734 
  3735 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  3736 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  3737 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  3738 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  3739 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  3740 
  3741 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  3742 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  3743 constructor are pre-configured.
  3744 
  3745 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  3746 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  3747 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  3748 
  3749 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  3750 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  3751 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  3752 as well.)
  3753 
  3754 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  3755 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  3756 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  3757 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  3758 examples.
  3759 
  3760 
  3761 *** ML ***
  3762 
  3763 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  3764 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  3765 
  3766 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  3767 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  3768 position, logical grouping etc.
  3769 
  3770 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  3771 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  3772 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  3773 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  3774 
  3775 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  3776 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  3777 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  3778 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  3779 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  3780 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  3781 
  3782 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  3783 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  3784 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  3785 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  3786 experiments with references.
  3787 
  3788 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  3789 parallel tactical reasoning.
  3790 
  3791 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  3792 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  3793 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  3794 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  3795 
  3796 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  3797 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  3798 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  3799 
  3800 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  3801 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  3802 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3803 
  3804 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3805 
  3806 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  3807 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3808 
  3809 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  3810 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  3811 
  3812 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  3813 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  3814 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  3815 
  3816 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  3817 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  3818 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3819 
  3820 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  3821 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  3822 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  3823 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3824 
  3825 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3826 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  3827 instead of global theory.
  3828 
  3829 
  3830 *** System ***
  3831 
  3832 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  3833 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  3834 usedir option -q.
  3835 
  3836 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  3837 also the system manual.
  3838 
  3839 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  3840 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  3841 
  3842 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  3843 this is always enabled.
  3844 
  3845 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  3846 
  3847 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  3848 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  3849 currently supported on Linux only.
  3850 
  3851 
  3852 
  3853 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  3854 --------------------------------
  3855 
  3856 *** General ***
  3857 
  3858 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  3859 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3860 
  3861   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  3862     "isatool."
  3863 
  3864   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  3865     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  3866 
  3867   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  3868     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  3869 
  3870 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  3871 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  3872 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  3873 
  3874 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  3875 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  3876 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  3877 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  3878 via "isabelle emacs".
  3879 
  3880 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  3881 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  3882 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  3883 
  3884 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  3885 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  3886 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3887 
  3888 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  3889 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  3890 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  3891 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  3892 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  3893 
  3894 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  3895 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  3896 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  3897 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  3898 
  3899 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  3900 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  3901 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  3902 
  3903 
  3904 *** Pure ***
  3905 
  3906 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  3907 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  3908 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  3909 
  3910 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  3911 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  3912 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  3913 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  3914 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  3915 
  3916 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  3917 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  3918 useful in locale declarations.
  3919 
  3920 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  3921 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  3922 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  3923 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  3924 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  3925 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  3926 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  3927 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  3928 no longer generated.
  3929 
  3930 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  3931 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  3932 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  3933 
  3934 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  3935 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  3936 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  3937 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  3938 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  3939 
  3940 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3941 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  3942 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  3943 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  3944 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  3945 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  3946 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  3947 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  3948 
  3949 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  3950 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  3951 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  3952 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  3953 
  3954 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3955 
  3956 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  3957 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  3958 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  3959 
  3960 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  3961 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3962 
  3963 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  3964 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  3965 in HOL, write
  3966 
  3967     class foo = ...
  3968 
  3969 instead of
  3970 
  3971     class foo = type + ...
  3972 
  3973 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  3974 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3975 
  3976 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  3977 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  3978 
  3979 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  3980 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  3981 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  3982 
  3983 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  3984 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  3985 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  3986 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  3987 directly in regular applications.
  3988 
  3989 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  3990 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  3991 
  3992 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  3993 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  3994 
  3995 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  3996 theory context.
  3997 
  3998 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  3999 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4000 
  4001 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4002 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4003 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4004 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4005 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4006 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4007 
  4008   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4009 
  4010 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4011 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4012 normalization.
  4013 
  4014 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4015 addressing etc.
  4016 
  4017 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4018 
  4019   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4020   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4021 
  4022 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4023 
  4024   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4025      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4026      parts of the code generator framework).
  4027 
  4028   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4029      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4030      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4031 
  4032 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4033 
  4034 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4035 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4036 
  4037 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4038 patterns, e.g.
  4039 
  4040     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4041 
  4042 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4043 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4044 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4045 hyphen:
  4046 
  4047     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4048 
  4049 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4050 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4051 
  4052 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4053 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4054 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4055 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4056 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4057 higher-order unification.
  4058 
  4059 
  4060 *** Document preparation ***
  4061 
  4062 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4063 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4064 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4065 
  4066 
  4067 *** HOL ***
  4068 
  4069 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4070 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4071 
  4072 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4073 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4074 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4075 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4076 Main, as before.
  4077 
  4078 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4079 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4080 
  4081 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4082 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4083 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4084 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4085 
  4086 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4087 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4088 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4089 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4090 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4091 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4092 
  4093 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4094 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4095 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4096 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4097 
  4098 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4099 menu.
  4100 
  4101 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4102 (contains the empty clause).
  4103 
  4104 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4105 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4106 
  4107 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4108 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4109 
  4110 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4111 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4112 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4113 
  4114 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4115 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4116 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4117 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4118 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4119 
  4120 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4121 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4122 
  4123 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4124 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4125 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4126 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4127 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4128 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4129 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4130 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4131 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4132 
  4133 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4134 
  4135 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4136 
  4137 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4138 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4139 
  4140 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4141 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4142 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4143 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4144 
  4145 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4146 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4147

  4157 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4158 theory Set.
  4159 
  4160 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4161 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4162 
  4163 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4164 
  4165 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4166 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4167 
  4168 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4169 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4170 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4171 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4172 allowed. For examples see
  4173 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4174 
  4175 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4176 
  4177 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4178 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4179 
  4180 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4181 structure:

  4235 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4236 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4237 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4238 
  4239 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4240 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4241 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4242 
  4243 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4244 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4245 
  4246 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4247 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4248 
  4249 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4250 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4251 proofs, e.g.
  4252 
  4253   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4254 
  4255 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4256 
  4257 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4258 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4259 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4260 
  4261 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4262 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4263 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4264 
  4265 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4266 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4267 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4268 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4269 
  4270 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4271 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4272 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4273 preorder_class.*.
  4274 
  4275 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4276 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4277 
  4278 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4279 
  4280   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4281 
  4282 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4283 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4284 fold_image.
  4285 
  4286 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4287 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4288 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4289 the former will disappear at some point.
  4290 
  4291 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4292 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4293 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4294 
  4295 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4296 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4297 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4298 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4299 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4300 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4301 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4302 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4303 
  4304 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4305 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4306 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4307 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4308 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4309 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4310 
  4311     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4312     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4313     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4314     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4315     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4316     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4317     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4318 
  4319 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4320 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4321 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4322 
  4323 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4324 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  4328 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4329 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4330 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4331 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial

  4337 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4338 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4339 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4340 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]

  4342 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4343 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4344 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4345 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4346 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4347 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel

  4365 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4366 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4367 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4368 
  4369 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4370 
  4371 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4372 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4373 
  4374 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4375 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4376 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4377 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4378 
  4379 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4380 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4381 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4382 theory RealVector.
  4383 
  4384 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4385 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4386 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4387 and inner products are included.
  4388 
  4389 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4390 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4391 supported.
  4392 
  4393 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4394 first diagonalization argument.
  4395 
  4396 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4397 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4398 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4399 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4400 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4401 
  4402     hide (open) const gcd
  4403     abbreviation gcd where
  4404       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4405     notation (output)
  4406       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4407 
  4408 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4409 
  4410 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4411 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4412 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4413 
  4414 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4415 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4416 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4417 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4418 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4419 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4420 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4421 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4422 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4423 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4424 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4425 cases.
  4426 
  4427 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4428 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4429 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4430 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4431 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4432 
  4433     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4434     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4435     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4436     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4437     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4438 
  4439 
  4440 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4441 
  4442 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4443 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4444 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4445 
  4446 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4447 
  4448 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4449 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4450 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4451 
  4452 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4453 
  4454 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4455 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4456 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4457 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4458 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4459 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4460 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4461 
  4462 
  4463 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4464 
  4465 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4466 
  4467 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4468 theory targets.
  4469 
  4470 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4471 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4472 'inductive' etc.
  4473 
  4474 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4475 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4476 
  4477 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4478 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4479 
  4480 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4481 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4482 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4483 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4484 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4485 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4486 the algorithm W:
  4487 
  4488  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4489  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4490          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4491 
  4492 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4493 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4494 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4495 
  4496 
  4497 *** HOLCF ***
  4498 
  4499 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4500 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4501 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4502 
  4503 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4504 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4505 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4506 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4507 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4508 
  4509 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  4510 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4511 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4512 
  4513 
  4514 *** ZF ***
  4515 
  4516 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  4517 
  4518 
  4519 *** ML ***
  4520 
  4521 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  4522 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  4523 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  4524 5.2.1!
  4525 
  4526 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  4527 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  4528 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  4529 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  4530 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  4531 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  4532 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4533 
  4534 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  4535 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  4536 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  4537 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  4538 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  4539 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  4540 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4541 
  4542 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  4543 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  4544 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  4545 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  4546 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4547 
  4548 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  4549 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  4550 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  4551 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  4552 Method.add_method.
  4553 
  4554 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  4555 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  4556 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  4557 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  4558 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  4559 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  4560 
  4561 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  4562 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  4563 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  4564 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  4565 examples.
  4566 
  4567 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  4568 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  4569 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  4570 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  4571 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  4572 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  4573 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  4574 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  4575 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  4576 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  4577 
  4578 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  4579 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  4580 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  4581 
  4582 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  4583 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  4584 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  4585 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  4586 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  4587 resort for legacy applications.
  4588 
  4589 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  4590 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  4591 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  4592 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  4593 explicit runtime argument.
  4594 
  4595 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  4596 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  4597 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  4598 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  4599 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4600 
  4601 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  4602 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  4603 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  4604 theory state.
  4605 
  4606 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  4607 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  4608 
  4609   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  4610   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  4611   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  4612   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  4613   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  4614   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  4615   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  4616   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  4617   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  4618   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  4619 
  4620 
  4621 *** System ***
  4622 
  4623 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  4624 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  4625 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  4626 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  4627 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  4628 
  4629 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  4630 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  4631 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  4632 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  4633 
  4634 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  4635 
  4636 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  4637 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  4638 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  4639 prover operations.
  4640 
  4641 
  4642 
  4643 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  4644 -------------------------------
  4645 
  4646 *** General ***
  4647 
  4648 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  4649 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  4650 
  4651 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  4652 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  4653 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  4654 provides a proper context already.
  4655 
  4656 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4657 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  4658 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  4659 
  4660 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  4661 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  4662 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  4663 swap theory imports.
  4664 
  4665 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  4666 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  4667 
  4668 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  4669 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4670 white space without escapes.
  4671 
  4672 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  4673 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  4674 "foo_bar".
  4675 
  4676 
  4677 *** Pure ***
  4678 
  4679 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  4680 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  4681 
  4682 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  4683 There are three ways of invoking it:
  4684 
  4685 (1) unused_thms
  4686      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  4687 
  4688 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  4689      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  4690      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  4691 
  4692 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  4693      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  4694      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  4695      their ancestors.
  4696 
  4697 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  4698 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  4699 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  4700 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  4701 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  4702 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  4703 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  4704 
  4705 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  4706 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  4707 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  4708 
  4709 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  4710 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  4711 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  4712 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  4713 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  4714 
  4715 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  4716 
  4717 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  4718 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  4719 update of theories within ML code.
  4720 
  4721 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  4722 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  4723 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  4724 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  4725 
  4726 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  4727 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  4728 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  4729 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4730 
  4731 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  4732 
  4733 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  4734 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  4735 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  4736 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  4737 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  4738 
  4739 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  4740 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  4741 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  4742 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  4743 situations.
  4744 
  4745 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  4746 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  4747 proof text.
  4748 
  4749 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  4750 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  4751 
  4752 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  4753 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  4754 predicates.
  4755 
  4756 
  4757 *** Document preparation ***
  4758 
  4759 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  4760 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  4761 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  4762 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  4763 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  4764 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  4765 
  4766 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  4767 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  4768 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  4769 
  4770 
  4771 *** HOL ***
  4772 
  4773 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  4774 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  4775 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  4776 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  4777 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  4778 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  4779 
  4780 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  4781 with multithreading.
  4782 
  4783 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  4784 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  4785 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  4786 
  4787 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  4788 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  4789 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  4790 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4791 
  4792 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  4793 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  4794 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  4795 and makes them available separately.  See
  4796 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  4797 
  4798 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  4799 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  4800 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  4801 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  4802 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  4803 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  4804 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  4805 the declared rules.
  4806 
  4807 This setup also deals with rules like
  4808 
  4809   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  4810 
  4811 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  4812 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  4813 
  4814 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  4815 
  4816   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  4817 
  4818   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  4819     definitions on => and bool.
  4820 
  4821   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  4822     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  4823     the following theorems have been renamed:
  4824 
  4825       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  4826       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  4827       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  4828       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  4829       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  4830       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  4831       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  4832       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  4833 
  4834   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  4835     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  4836     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  4837 
  4838   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  4839     The proof pattern
  4840 
  4841       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4842       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  4843 
  4844     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  4845     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  4846 
  4847       have "EX S. P S"
  4848       proof
  4849         show "P S" <...>
  4850       qed
  4851 
  4852   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  4853     The proof pattern
  4854 
  4855       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4856       also have "S = T" <...>
  4857       finally have "P T" .
  4858 
  4859     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  4860     must be replaced by something like
  4861 
  4862       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4863       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  4864       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  4865 
  4866   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  4867     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  4868 
  4869       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  4870 
  4871     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  4872     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  4873     type of the form
  4874 
  4875       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  4876 
  4877     rather than
  4878 
  4879       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  4880 
  4881 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  4882 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  4883 
  4884 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4885 
  4886 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  4887 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  4888 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4889 
  4890 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  4891 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4892 
  4893 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  4894 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4895 
  4896 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  4897 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  4898 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4899 
  4900 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  4901 the same name in theory Orderings:
  4902 
  4903   less_trans
  4904   less_linear
  4905   le_imp_less_or_eq
  4906   le_less_trans
  4907   less_le_trans
  4908   less_not_sym
  4909   less_asym
  4910 
  4911 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  4912 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  4913 and different variable names.
  4914 
  4915 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  4916 
  4917 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  4918 finite maps.
  4919 
  4920 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  4921 
  4922 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  4923 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  4924 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  4925 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  4926 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  4927 accordingly.
  4928 
  4929 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  4930 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  4931 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  4932 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  4933 
  4934 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  4935 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  4936 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  4937 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  4938 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  4939 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4940 
  4941 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  4942 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4943 
  4944 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  4945 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  4946 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  4947 
  4948 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  4949 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4950 
  4951 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  4952 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  4953 
  4954 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  4955 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4956 
  4957 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  4958 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4959 
  4960 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  4961 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  4962 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4963 
  4964 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  4965 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4966 
  4967 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  4968 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  4969 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  4970 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  4971 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  4972 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4973 
  4974 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  4975 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  4976 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  4977 
  4978 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  4979 
  4980 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  4981 
  4982 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  4983 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  4984 well-orders on sets and on types.
  4985 
  4986 
  4987 *** ZF ***
  4988 
  4989 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  4990 same session:
  4991 
  4992   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  4993   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  4994   Int       -> Int_ZF
  4995   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  4996   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  4997   List      -> List_ZF
  4998   Main      -> Main_ZF
  4999 
  5000 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5001 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5002 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5003 
  5004 
  5005 *** ML ***
  5006 
  5007 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5008 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5009 
  5010 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5011 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5012 
  5013 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5014 
  5015 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5016 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5017 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5018 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5019 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5020 
  5021 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5022 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5023 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5024 
  5025 
  5026 *** System ***
  5027 
  5028 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5029 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5030 
  5031 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5032 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5033 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5034 
  5035 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5036 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5037 
  5038 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5039 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5040 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5041 
  5042 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5043 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5044 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5045 
  5046 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5047 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5048 
  5049 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5050 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5051 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5052 script.
  5053 
  5054 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5055 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5056 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5057 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5058 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5059 
  5060 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5061 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5062 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5063 
  5064 
  5065 
  5066 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5067 -----------------------------------
  5068 
  5069 *** General ***
  5070 
  5071 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5072 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5073 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5074 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5075 
  5076 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5077 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5078 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5079 
  5080 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5081 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5082 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5083 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5084 
  5085 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5086 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5087 quotes.
  5088 
  5089 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5090 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5091 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5092 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5093 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5094 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5095 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5096 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5097 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5098 
  5099 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5100 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5101 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5102 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5103 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5104 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5105 
  5106 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5107 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5108 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5109 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5110 
  5111 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5112 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5113 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5114 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5115 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5116 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5117 
  5118 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5119 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5120 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5121 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5122 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5123 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5124 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5125 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5126 
  5127 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5128 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5129 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5130 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5131 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5132 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5133 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5134 
  5135 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5136 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5137 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5138 
  5139 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5140 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5141 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5142 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5143 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5144 limit is imposed.
  5145 
  5146 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5147 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5148 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5149 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5150 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5151 and scalability.
  5152 
  5153 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5154 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5155 
  5156 
  5157 *** Document preparation ***
  5158 
  5159 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5160 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5161 current context.
  5162 
  5163 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5164 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5165 
  5166 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5167 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5168 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5169 
  5170 
  5171 *** Pure ***
  5172 
  5173 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5174 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5175 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5176 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5177 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5178 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5179 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5180 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5181 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5182 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5183 
  5184 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5185 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5186 sketch:
  5187 
  5188     internal compilation:
  5189         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5190     writing SML code to a file:
  5191         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5192     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5193         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5194     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5195         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5196 
  5197     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5198         method ``eval''
  5199 
  5200 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5201 
  5202 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5203 
  5204     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5205     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5206     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5207     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5208 
  5209 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5210 
  5211     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5212       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5213 
  5214     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5215       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5216 
  5217     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5218       {(target)}+
  5219         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5220 
  5221     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5222       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5223         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5224 
  5225 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5226 
  5227 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5228 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5229 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5230 codegen".
  5231 
  5232 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5233 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5234 annotations).
  5235 
  5236 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5237 syntax.
  5238 
  5239 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5240 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5241 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5242 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5243 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5244 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5245 
  5246 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5247 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5248 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5249 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5250 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5251 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5252 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5253 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5254 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5255 equations, see section "definitions".
  5256 
  5257 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5258 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5259 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5260 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5261 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5262 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5263 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5264 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5265 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5266 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5267 
  5268 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5269 configuration options:
  5270 
  5271   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5272   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5273   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5274   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5275   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5276   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5277   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5278   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5279   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5280 
  5281 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5282 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5283 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5284 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5285 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5286 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5287 order.
  5288 
  5289 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5290 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5291 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5292 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5293 context encountered later on.
  5294 
  5295 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5296 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5297 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5298 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5299 
  5300 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5301 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5302 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5303 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5304 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5305 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5306 
  5307 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5308 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5309 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5310 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5311 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5312 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5313 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5314 more permissive.
  5315 
  5316 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5317 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5318 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5319 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5320 maintainability of proof texts.
  5321 
  5322 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5323 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5324 
  5325   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5326   then guess x and y by clarify
  5327 
  5328 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5329 proof tools being involved here.
  5330 
  5331 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5332 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5333 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5334 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5335 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5336 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5337 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5338 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5339 
  5340 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5341 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5342 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5343 
  5344   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5345   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5346   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5347   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5348 
  5349 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5350 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5351 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5352 
  5353 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5354 both named and unnamed ones.
  5355 
  5356 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5357 
  5358   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5359 
  5360 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5361 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5362 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5363 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5364 
  5365 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5366 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5367 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5368 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5369 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5370 
  5371 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5372 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5373 
  5374 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5375 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5376 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5377 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5378 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5379 originally first one.
  5380 
  5381 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5382 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5383 expected.
  5384 
  5385 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5386 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5387 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5388 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5389 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5390 
  5391   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5392     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5393     obtains x where "P x"
  5394 
  5395   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5396     assumes "A & B"
  5397     obtains A and B
  5398 
  5399   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5400     assumes "A | B"
  5401     obtains
  5402       A
  5403     | B
  5404 
  5405 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5406 explicitly:
  5407 
  5408   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5409     obtains "~ thesis"
  5410 
  5411   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5412     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5413 
  5414 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5415 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5416 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5417 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5418 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5419 case_names).
  5420 
  5421 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5422 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5423 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5424 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5425 
  5426 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5427 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5428 top-level lemma.
  5429 
  5430 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5431 introduction rule (default "that").
  5432 
  5433 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5434 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5435 to occur.
  5436 
  5437 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5438 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5439 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5440 representations independently of name spaces.
  5441 
  5442 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5443 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5444 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5445 
  5446 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5447 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5448 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5449 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5450 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5451 current context.
  5452 
  5453 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5454 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5455 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5456 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5457 
  5458   axiomatization
  5459     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5460     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5461 
  5462   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5463   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5464 
  5465   abbreviation
  5466     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5467     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5468 
  5469 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5470 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5471 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5472 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5473 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5474 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5475 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5476 
  5477 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5478 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5479 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5480 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5481 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5482 
  5483 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5484 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5485 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5486 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5487 
  5488 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5489 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5490 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5491 
  5492   definition "K x _ = x"
  5493 
  5494   inductive conj for A B
  5495   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5496 
  5497 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5498 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5499 abbreviations on output.
  5500 
  5501 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5502 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5503 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5504 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5505 
  5506 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5507 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5508 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5509 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  5510 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  5511 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  5512 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  5513 
  5514 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  5515 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  5516 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  5517 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  5518 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  5519 
  5520 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  5521 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  5522 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  5523 
  5524 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  5525 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  5526 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  5527 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  5528 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  5529 
  5530   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  5531     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  5532 
  5533 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  5534 definition specification element in the context of locale
  5535 partial_order.
  5536 
  5537 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  5538 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  5539 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  5540 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  5541 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  5542 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  5543 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  5544 examples.
  5545 
  5546 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  5547 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  5548 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  5549 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  5550 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  5551 
  5552 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  5553 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  5554 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  5555 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  5556 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  5557 
  5558   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  5559   (induct set: foo bar)
  5560   (induct pred: foo bar)
  5561   (induct type: foo bar)
  5562 
  5563 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  5564 new format.
  5565 
  5566 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  5567 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  5568 
  5569 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  5570 considered a legacy feature.
  5571 
  5572 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  5573 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5574 
  5575 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  5576 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  5577 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  5578 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  5579 
  5580 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  5581 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  5582 manipulating the claset.
  5583 
  5584 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  5585 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  5586 least one premise.
  5587 
  5588 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  5589 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  5590 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  5591 rule steps.
  5592 
  5593 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  5594 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  5595 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  5596 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  5597 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  5598 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  5599 
  5600 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  5601 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  5602 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  5603 
  5604 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  5605 the graph browser tool.
  5606 
  5607 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  5608 default; use '!' option for full details.
  5609 
  5610 
  5611 *** HOL ***
  5612 
  5613 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  5614 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  5615 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  5616 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  5617 multi-threading.
  5618 
  5619 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  5620 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  5621 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  5622 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  5623 work with multi-threading.
  5624 
  5625 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  5626 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  5627 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  5628 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  5629 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  5630 
  5631 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  5632 
  5633 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  5634 equality.
  5635 
  5636 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  5637 the new 'class' package:
  5638 
  5639     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  5640     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  5641     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  5642     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  5643     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  5644     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  5645     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  5646     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  5647     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  5648     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  5649     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  5650     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  5651     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  5652     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  5653     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  5654     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  5655     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  5656     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  5657     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  5658     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  5659 
  5660 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  5661 
  5662 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  5663 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  5664 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  5665 names.
  5666 
  5667 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  5668 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  5669 
  5670 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  5671 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  5672 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  5673 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  5674 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  5675 
  5676 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  5677 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  5678 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  5679 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  5680 
  5681 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  5682 
  5683 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  5684 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  5685 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  5686 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  5687 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5688 
  5689 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  5690 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5691 
  5692 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  5693 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  5694 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5695 
  5696 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  5697 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  5698 
  5699 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  5700 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  5701 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  5702 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  5703 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  5704 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  5705 in the current context.
  5706 
  5707 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  5708 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  5709 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5710 
  5711 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  5712 with new class dense_linear_order.
  5713 
  5714 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  5715 
  5716     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  5717     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  5718 
  5719     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  5720       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  5721     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  5722     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  5723 
  5724     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  5725     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  5726 
  5727   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  5829 
  5830 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  5831 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  5832 
  5833 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  5834 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  5835 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  5836 "*.size".
  5837 
  5838 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  5839 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5840 
  5841 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  5842 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  5843 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5844 
  5845 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5846 
  5847 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  5848 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  5849 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  5850 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  5851 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  5852 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  5853 numerals on all operations.
  5854 
  5855 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  5856 
  5857 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  5858 
  5859 * Code generator library theories:
  5860   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  5861     languages.
  5862   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  5863     languages.
  5864   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  5865     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  5866   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  5867   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  5868     denominator).
  5869   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  5870     representable by rational numbers.
  5871   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  5872     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  5873     includes Code_Integer.
  5874   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  5875     target-language built-in integers.
  5876   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  5877     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  5878 
  5879 * New package for inductive predicates
  5880 
  5881   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  5882 
  5883     inductive
  5884       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5885       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5886     where
  5887       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5888     | ...
  5889 
  5890   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  5891 
  5892     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5893 
  5894     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5895     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5896 
  5897     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  5898     intros
  5899       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5900       ...
  5901 
  5902   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  5903   sets to be defined with the new package via
  5904 
  5905     inductive_set
  5906       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5907       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5908     where
  5909       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5910     | ...
  5911 
  5912   or
  5913 
  5914     inductive_set
  5915       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5916       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5917       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5918     where
  5919       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5920     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5921     | ...
  5922 
  5923   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  5924 
  5925   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  5926   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  5927 
  5928   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5929 
  5930   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  5931     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  5932     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  5933     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  5934     than before the actual inductive definition.
  5935 
  5936   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  5937     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  5938     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  5939     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  5940     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  5941     statements of the form
  5942 
  5943       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  5944 
  5945     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  5946     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  5947 
  5948       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  5949 
  5950   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  5951 
  5952       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  5953         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  5954         ==> ... ==> P
  5955 
  5956     for predicates and
  5957 
  5958       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  5959         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  5960         ==> ... ==> P
  5961 
  5962     for sets rather than
  5963 
  5964       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  5965         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  5966         ==> ... ==> P
  5967 
  5968     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  5969     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  5970     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  5971 
  5972   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  5973     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  5974     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  5975 
  5976 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  5977 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  5978 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  5979 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  5980 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  5981 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  5982 
  5983 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  5984 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  5985 
  5986 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  5987 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  5988 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  5989 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  5990 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  5991 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  5992 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  5993 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  5994 variable.
  5995 
  5996 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  5997 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  5998 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  5999 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6000   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6001   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6002 
  6003 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6004 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6005 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6006 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6007 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6008 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6009 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6010 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6011 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6012 
  6013 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6014 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6015 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6016 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6017 rat, etc.
  6018 
  6019 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6020 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6021 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6022 
  6023 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6024 
  6025 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6026 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6027 
  6028 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6029 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6030 
  6031 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6032 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6033 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6034 
  6035 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6036 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6037 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6038 
  6039 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6040 
  6041 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6042 
  6043 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6044 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6045 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6046 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6047 
  6048 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6049 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6050 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6051 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6052 
  6053 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6054 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6055 algebraic operations.
  6056 
  6057 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6058 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6059 
  6060 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6061 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6062 
  6063 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6064 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6065 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6066 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6067 adapted.
  6068 
  6069 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6070 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6071 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6072 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6073 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6074 
  6075 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6076 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6077 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6078 
  6079 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6080 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6081 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6082 
  6083 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6084 
  6085 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6086 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6087 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6088   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6089       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6090   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6091   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6092   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6093 
  6094 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6095 
  6096 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6097 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6098 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6099 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6100 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6101 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6102 
  6103 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6104 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6105 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6106 
  6107 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6108 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6109 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6110 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6111 
  6112 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6113 
  6114 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6115 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6116 
  6117 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6118 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6119 
  6120 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6121 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6122 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6123 
  6124 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6125 True/False.
  6126 
  6127 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6128 
  6129 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6130 
  6131 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6132 ``rule'' method.
  6133 
  6134 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6135 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6136 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6137 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6138 
  6139 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6140 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6141 
  6142 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6143 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6144 
  6145 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6146 Library.
  6147 
  6148 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6149 
  6150 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6151 as greatest fixed-point.
  6152 
  6153 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6154 association lists.
  6155 
  6156 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6157 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6158 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6159 
  6160 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6161 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6162 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6163 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6164 behavior.
  6165 
  6166 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6167 
  6168 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6169 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6170 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6171 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6172 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6173 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6174 
  6175 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6176 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6177 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6178 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6179 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6180 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6181 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6182 
  6183 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6184 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6185 
  6186 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6187 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6188 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6189 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6190 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6191 
  6192 
  6193 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6194 
  6195 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6196 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6197 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6198 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6199 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6200 
  6201 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6202 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6203 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6204 
  6205 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6206 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6207 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6208 
  6209 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6210 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6211 
  6212 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6213 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6214 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6215 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6231   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6232 
  6233 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6234 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6235 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6236 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6237

  6245   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  6246   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6247 
  6248 
  6249 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6250 
  6251 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6252 
  6253 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6254 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6255 
  6256 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6257 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6258 
  6259 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6260 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6261 of algebraic structures.
  6262 
  6263 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6264 
  6265 
  6266 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6267 
  6268 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6269 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6270 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6271 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6272 
  6273 
  6274 *** ML ***
  6275 
  6276 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6277 (even on SML/NJ).
  6278 
  6279 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6280 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6281 compile-time.  For example:
  6282 
  6283 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6284 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6285 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6286 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6287 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6288 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6289 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6290 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6291 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6292 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6293 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6294 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6295 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6296 ML {* @{context} *}
  6297 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6298 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6299 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6300 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6301 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6302 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6303 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6304 
  6305 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6306 
  6307 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6308 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6309 
  6310 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6311 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6312 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6313 
  6314 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6315 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6316 
  6317 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6318 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6319 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6320 
  6321 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6322 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6323 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6324 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6325 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6326 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6327 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6328 declarations and definitions.
  6329 
  6330 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6331 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6332 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6333 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6334 
  6335 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6336 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6337 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6338 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6339 
  6340 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6341 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6342 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6343 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6344 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6345 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6346 
  6347 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6348 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6349 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6350 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6351 attributes, methods, etc.
  6352 
  6353 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6354 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6355 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6356 fold_map combinators.
  6357 
  6358 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6359 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6360 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6361 derivation.
  6362 
  6363 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6364 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6365 achieve the old behaviour.
  6366 
  6367 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6368 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6369 statements.
  6370 
  6371 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6372 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6373 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6374 
  6375 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6376 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6377 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6378 
  6379   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6380   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6381   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6382 
  6383 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6384 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6385 
  6386 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6387 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6388 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6389 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6390 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6391 
  6392 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6393 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6394 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6395 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6396 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6397 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6398 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6399 in a locale context).
  6400 
  6401 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6402 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6403 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6404 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6405 
  6406 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6407 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6408 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6409 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6410 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6411 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6412 
  6413 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6414 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6415 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6416 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6417 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6418 
  6419   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6420 
  6421 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6422 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6423 this:
  6424 
  6425   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6426 
  6427 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6428 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6429 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6430 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6431 
  6432 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6433 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6434 
  6435 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6436 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6437 
  6438 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6439 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6440 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6441 batch mode.
  6442 
  6443 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6444 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6445 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6446 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6447 
  6448 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6449 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6450 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6451 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6452 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6453 
  6454 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6455 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6456 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6457 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6458 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6459 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6460 
  6461 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6462 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6463 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6464 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6465 
  6466 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6467 "Trueprop" etc.
  6468 
  6469 
  6470 *** System ***
  6471 
  6472 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6473 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6474 Isabelle installations.
  6475 
  6476 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6477 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6478 code.
  6479 
  6480 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6481 
  6482 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6483 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6484 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6485 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6486 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6487 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6488 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6489 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6490 Implementation manual.
  6491 
  6492 
  6493 
  6494 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  6495 ----------------------------------
  6496 
  6497 *** General ***
  6498 
  6499 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6500 
  6501   theory <name>
  6502   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6503   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6504   begin
  6505 
  6506 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6507 
  6508   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6509 
  6510 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  6511 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  6512 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  6513 
  6514 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  6515 relative and absolute paths.
  6516 
  6517 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  6518 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  6519 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  6520 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  6521 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  6522 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  6523 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  6524 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  6525 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  6526 
  6527   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  6528 
  6529 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  6530 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  6531 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  6532 
  6533 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  6534 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6535 
  6536 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  6537 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  6538 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  6539 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  6540 
  6541   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  6542   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  6543 
  6544 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  6545 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  6546 faster.
  6547 
  6548 
  6549 *** Document preparation ***
  6550 
  6551 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  6552 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  6553 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  6554 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  6555 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  6556 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  6557 
  6558 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  6559 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  6560 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  6561 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  6562 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  6563 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  6564 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  6565 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  6566 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  6567 \isadroptag.
  6568 
  6569 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  6570 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  6571 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  6572 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  6573 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  6574 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  6575 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  6576 specified above.
  6577 
  6578 * Several new antiquotations:
  6579 
  6580   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  6581 
  6582   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  6583 
  6584   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  6585   argument is a known logical constant;
  6586 
  6587   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  6588   theorem applying a "style" to it
  6589 
  6590   @{ML text}
  6591 
  6592 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  6593 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  6594 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  6595 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  6596 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  6597 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  6598 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  6599 
  6600 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  6601 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  6602 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  6603 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  6604 
  6605 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  6606 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  6607 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  6608 
  6609 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  6610 a proof context.
  6611 
  6612 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  6613 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  6614 
  6615 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  6616 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  6617 
  6618 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  6619 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  6620 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  6621 
  6622 
  6623 *** Pure ***
  6624 
  6625 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  6626 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  6627 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  6628 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  6629 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  6630 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  6631 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  6632 
  6633 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  6634 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  6635 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  6636 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  6637 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  6638 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  6639 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  6640 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  6641 
  6642 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  6643 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  6644 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  6645 
  6646 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  6647 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  6648 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  6649 
  6650 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  6651 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  6652 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  6653 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  6654 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6655 
  6656 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  6657 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  6658 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  6659 axclasses vs. locales.
  6660 
  6661 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  6662 instead of base 26 numbers.
  6663 
  6664 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  6665 marks in schematic variable names.
  6666 
  6667 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  6668 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  6669 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  6670 
  6671   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  6672     by simp
  6673 
  6674 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  6675 
  6676 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  6677 annotations as "(00...)".
  6678 
  6679 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  6680 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  6681 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  6682 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  6683 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  6684 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  6685 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  6686 
  6687 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  6688 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  6689 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  6690 specifications.
  6691 
  6692 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  6693 locally fixed variables as well.
  6694 
  6695 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  6696 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  6697 Limit.
  6698 
  6699 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  6700 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  6701 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  6702 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  6703 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  6704 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  6705 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  6706 
  6707 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  6708 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  6709 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  6710 
  6711 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6712 
  6713 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  6714 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  6715 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  6716 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  6717 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  6718 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  6719 
  6720 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  6721 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  6722 
  6723 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  6724 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  6725 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  6726 
  6727 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  6728 
  6729 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  6730 theory development.
  6731 
  6732 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  6733 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  6734 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  6735 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  6736 
  6737 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  6738 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  6739 quoted when used as identifier.
  6740 
  6741 
  6742 *** Locales ***
  6743 
  6744 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  6745 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  6746 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  6747 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  6748 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  6749 commands is a follows:
  6750 
  6751   (1) interpretation expr inst
  6752   (2) interpretation target < expr
  6753   (3) interpret expr inst
  6754 
  6755 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  6756 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  6757 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  6758 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  6759 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  6760 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  6761 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  6762 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  6763 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  6764 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  6765 
  6766 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  6767 'interpret' instead.
  6768 
  6769 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  6770 parameters.
  6771 
  6772 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  6773 redeclaration.
  6774 
  6775 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  6776 
  6777 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  6778 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  6779 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  6780 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  6781 to attribute arguments as expected.
  6782 
  6783 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  6784 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  6785 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  6786 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  6787 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  6788 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  6789 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  6790 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  6791 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  6792 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  6793 
  6794 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  6795 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  6796 theorem statement in rare situations.
  6797 
  6798 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  6799 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  6800 
  6801 
  6802 *** Provers ***
  6803 
  6804 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  6805 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  6806 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  6807 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  6808 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  6809 
  6810 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  6811 and quasi orders.
  6812 
  6813 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  6814 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  6815 
  6816 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  6817 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  6818 
  6819 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  6820 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  6821 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6822 
  6823 
  6824 *** HOL ***
  6825 
  6826 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  6827 
  6828   syntax (epsilon)
  6829     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  6830 
  6831 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  6832 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  6833 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  6834 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6835 
  6836 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  6837 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  6838 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  6839 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  6840 
  6841 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  6842 instead of ":".
  6843 
  6844 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  6845 
  6846   Old       New
  6847   {..n(}    {..<n}
  6848   {)n..}    {n<..}
  6849   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  6850   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  6851   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  6852 
  6853 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  6854 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  6855 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  6856 
  6857   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  6858   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  6859 
  6860 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  6861 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  6862 interface.
  6863 
  6864 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  6865 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  6866 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  6867 be a tuple pattern.
  6868 
  6869 Some new syntax forms are available:
  6870 
  6871   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  6872   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  6873   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  6874   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  6875 
  6876 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  6877 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  6878 
  6879 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  6880 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  6881 (insert F x)'.
  6882 
  6883 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  6884 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  6885 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  6886 
  6887 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  6888 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  6889 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  6890 
  6891 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  6892 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  6893 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  6894 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  6895 in unstructured proof scripts.
  6896 
  6897 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  6898 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  6899 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  6900 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  6901 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  6902 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  6903 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  6904 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  6905 <record_name>_ext_type.
  6906 
  6907 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  6908 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  6909 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  6910 quite long.
  6911 
  6912 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  6913 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  6914 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  6915 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6916 
  6917 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  6918 type-variables in the term.
  6919 
  6920 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  6921 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  6922 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6923 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  6924 goals than previously.
  6925 
  6926 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  6927 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  6928 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  6929 just like y <= x.
  6930 
  6931 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  6932 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  6933 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  6934 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  6935 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  6936 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  6937 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6938 
  6939 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  6940 
  6941 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  6942 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  6943 
  6944 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  6945 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  6946 inequalities.
  6947 
  6948 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6949 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6950 
  6951   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  6952   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  6953   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  6954   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  6955   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  6956   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  6957   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  6958   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  6959   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  6960   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  6961   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  6962 
  6963 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  6964 
  6965      zero_le_square
  6966      not_square_less_zero
  6967 
  6968   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  6969 
  6970      realpow_zero_zero
  6971      realpow_two
  6972      realpow_less
  6973      zero_le_power
  6974      realpow_two_le
  6975      abs_realpow_two
  6976      realpow_two_abs
  6977 
  6978 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  6979 
  6980 * Theory List:
  6981 
  6982 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6983 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6984 
  6985   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  6986   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  6987   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  6988   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  6989 
  6990 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  6991 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  6992 
  6993 
  6994 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6995 
  6996 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  6997 integers in the reals.
  6998 
  6999 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7000 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7001 
  7002   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7003   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7004   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7005   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7006   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7007 
  7008 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7009 
  7010 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7011 
  7012 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7013 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7014 
  7015   hypreal = real star
  7016   hypnat = nat star
  7017   hcomplex = complex star
  7018 
  7019 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7020 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7021 
  7022   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  7023 
  7024   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  7025   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  7026   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  7027   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  7028   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  7029 
  7030   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  7031   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  7032   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  7033   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  7034   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs

  7036 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7037 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7064 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7065 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7066 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7155   star_of_eq_0 <-- hcomplex_of_complex_zero_iff
  7156 
  7157 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7158 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7159 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7160 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7161 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7162 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7163 
  7164 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7165 
  7166 
  7167 *** HOLCF ***
  7168 
  7169 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7170 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7171 type-inference.
  7172 
  7173 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7174 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7175 instead of exponential time).
  7176 
  7177 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7178 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7179 
  7180   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7181 
  7182 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7183 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7184 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7185 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7186 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7187 syntax and examples.
  7188 
  7189 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7190 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7191 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7192 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7193 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7194 
  7195 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7196 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7197 
  7198   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7199   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7200   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7201   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7202   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7203   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7204 
  7205 
  7206 *** ZF ***
  7207 
  7208 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7209 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7210 of a homomorphism).
  7211 
  7212 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7213 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7214 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7215 
  7216 
  7217 *** Cube ***
  7218 
  7219 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7220 theories.
  7221 
  7222 
  7223 *** ML ***
  7224 
  7225 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7226 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7227 
  7228 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7229 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7230 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7231 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7232 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7233 
  7234 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7235 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7236 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7237 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7238 
  7239 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7240 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7241 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7242 
  7243     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7244     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7245     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7246     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7247     seq fs = List.app fs
  7248     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7249     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7250 
  7251 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7252 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7253 
  7254   x |> f                f #> g
  7255   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7256 
  7257 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7258 
  7259   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7260   infix 2 ?;
  7261   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7262   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7263 
  7264 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7265 infix operators.
  7266 
  7267 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7268 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7269 example:
  7270 
  7271   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7272     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7273 
  7274   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7275     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7276 
  7277   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7278     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7279 
  7280   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7281     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7282 
  7283 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7284 available:
  7285 
  7286   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7287   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7288   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7289   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7290 
  7291 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7292 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7293 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7294 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7295 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7296 
  7297   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7298   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7299   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7300 
  7301 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7302 
  7303   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7304   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7305 
  7306 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7307 Naive rewrites:
  7308 
  7309   make_keylist = AList.make
  7310   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7311 
  7312 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7313   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7314 
  7315     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7316     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7317 
  7318 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7319   Naive rewrites:
  7320 
  7321     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7322     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7323 
  7324 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7325 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7326 lists.
  7327 
  7328 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7329 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7330 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7331 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7332 
  7333 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7334 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7335 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7336 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7337 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7338 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7339 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7340 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7341 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7342 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7343 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7344 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7345 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7346 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7347 Output.raw have no effect.
  7348 
  7349 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7350 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7351 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7352 
  7353 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7354 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7355 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7356 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7357 
  7358 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7359 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7360 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7361 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7362 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7363 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7364 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7365 
  7366 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7367 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7368 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7369 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7370 
  7371 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7372 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7373 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7374 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7375 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7376 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7377 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7378 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7379 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7380 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7381 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7382 
  7383 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7384 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7385 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7386 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7387 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7388 with earlier declarations.
  7389 
  7390 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7391 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7392 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7393 
  7394 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7395 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7396 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7397 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7398 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7399 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7400 
  7401   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7402     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7403 
  7404   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7405     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7406 
  7407   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7408     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7409     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7410     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7411 
  7412 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7413 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7414 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7415 
  7416 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7417 
  7418 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7419 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7420 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7421 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7422 
  7423 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7424 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7425 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7426 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7427 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7428 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7429 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7430 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7431 
  7432 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7433 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7434 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7435 
  7436 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7437 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7438 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7439 
  7440 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7441 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7442 
  7443   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7444   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7445   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7446   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7447 
  7448 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7449 
  7450 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7451 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7452 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7453 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7454 (both increase the runtime).
  7455 
  7456 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7457 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7458 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7459 
  7460 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7461 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7462 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7463 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7464 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7465 for further details.
  7466 
  7467 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7468 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7469 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7470 scripts for the time being.
  7471 
  7472 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7473 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7474 
  7475   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7476   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7477 
  7478 
  7479 *** System ***
  7480 
  7481 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7482 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7483 
  7484 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7485 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7486 
  7487 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7488 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7489 
  7490 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7491 distribution being used.
  7492 
  7493 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7494 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7495 theories.
  7496 
  7497 
  7498 
  7499 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7500 --------------------------------
  7501 
  7502 *** General ***
  7503 
  7504 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7505   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7506 
  7507 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7508   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7509   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  7510   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  7511   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  7512   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  7513   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  7514   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  7515   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  7516   existing theory and ML files.
  7517 
  7518 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  7519 
  7520 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  7521   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  7522   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  7523   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  7524 
  7525 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  7526   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  7527   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  7528   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  7529 
  7530 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  7531   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  7532   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  7533 
  7534 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  7535   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  7536   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  7537   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  7538   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  7539 
  7540 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  7541   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  7542 
  7543 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  7544   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  7545   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  7546 
  7547 
  7548 *** Isar ***
  7549 
  7550 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  7551   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  7552   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  7553     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  7554     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  7555     emulations.
  7556   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  7557     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  7558     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  7559 
  7560 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  7561   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  7562     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  7563     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  7564   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  7565 
  7566 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  7567   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  7568   and derived forms.
  7569 
  7570 * Locales:
  7571   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  7572     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  7573     "_axioms") in the premise.
  7574     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  7575   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  7576     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  7577   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  7578     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  7579   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  7580         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  7581     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  7582     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  7583     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  7584     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  7585     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  7586       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  7587     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  7588     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  7589     with "locale (open)".
  7590       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  7591 
  7592 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  7593   (Isar) contexts.
  7594 
  7595 
  7596 *** HOL ***
  7597 
  7598 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  7599   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  7600   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  7601   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  7602   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  7603 
  7604 * Simplifier:
  7605   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  7606     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  7607     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  7608     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  7609     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  7610   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  7611     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  7612     is solved by simplification already.
  7613 
  7614 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  7615     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  7616 
  7617 * Numerics:
  7618   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  7619     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  7620   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  7621     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  7622   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  7623     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  7624     exponentiation).
  7625 
  7626 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  7627 
  7628 * Records:
  7629   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  7630     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  7631     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  7632   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  7633     (not enabled by default).
  7634   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  7635     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  7636   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  7637 
  7638 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  7639   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  7640   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  7641 
  7642 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  7643 
  7644 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  7645 
  7646 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  7647   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  7648 
  7649 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  7650   matrix theory to linear programming.
  7651 
  7652 * Unions and Intersections:
  7653   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  7654   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  7655   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  7656   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  7657 
  7658 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  7659   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  7660   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  7661   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  7662 
  7663 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  7664   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  7665 
  7666 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  7667   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  7668 
  7669 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  7670   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  7671   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  7672 
  7673 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  7674   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  7675   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  7676   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  7677   for examples.
  7678 
  7679 
  7680 *** HOLCF ***
  7681 
  7682 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  7683 
  7684 
  7685 
  7686 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  7687 ------------------------------
  7688 
  7689 *** General ***
  7690 
  7691 * Provers/simplifier:
  7692 
  7693   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  7694     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  7695     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  7696     the order of assumptions.
  7697 
  7698     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7699 
  7700     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  7701        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  7702 
  7703         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  7704 
  7705        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  7706 
  7707         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  7708 
  7709        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  7710        kind of problem.
  7711 
  7712     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  7713        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  7714        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  7715        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  7716        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  7717        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  7718        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  7719 
  7720   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  7721 
  7722   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  7723     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  7724     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  7725     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  7726     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  7727     the simplifier would diverge.
  7728 
  7729   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  7730 
  7731   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  7732     congruence is ignored.
  7733 
  7734 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  7735   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  7736   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  7737 
  7738 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  7739 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  7740    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  7741 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  7742 
  7743 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  7744 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  7745       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  7746 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  7747 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  7748 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  7749 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  7750 
  7751 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  7752 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  7753 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  7754 assumption failed.
  7755 
  7756 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  7757 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  7758 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  7759 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  7760 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  7761 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  7762 on the old view without predicates;
  7763 
  7764 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  7765 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  7766 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  7767 
  7768 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  7769 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  7770 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  7771 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  7772 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  7773 be given (the default is 40);
  7774 
  7775 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  7776 (batch-mode only);
  7777 
  7778 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  7779 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  7780 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  7781 
  7782 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  7783 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  7784 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  7785 
  7786 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  7787 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  7788 
  7789 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  7790 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  7791 
  7792 
  7793 *** HOL ***
  7794 
  7795 * arith(_tac)
  7796 
  7797  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  7798    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  7799    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  7800    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  7801 
  7802  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  7803 
  7804  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  7805    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  7806    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  7807 
  7808 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  7809 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  7810 
  7811 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  7812 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  7813 
  7814 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  7815 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  7816 "<=", "<" and "=").
  7817 
  7818 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  7819 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  7820 
  7821 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  7822 definition;
  7823 
  7824 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  7825 Finite_Set);
  7826 
  7827 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  7828 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  7829 
  7830 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  7831   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  7832 
  7833 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  7834 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  7835 of the empty set.
  7836 
  7837 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  7838 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  7839 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  7840 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  7841 
  7842 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  7843 
  7844 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  7845 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  7846 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  7847 
  7848 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  7849 
  7850 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  7851 Fleuriot);
  7852 
  7853 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  7854 
  7855 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  7856 Gray and Kramer);
  7857 
  7858 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  7859 
  7860 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  7861 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  7862 
  7863 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  7864 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  7865 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  7866 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  7867 assignment, exceptions.
  7868 
  7869 
  7870 *** ZF ***
  7871 
  7872 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  7873 universe, etc.);
  7874 
  7875 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  7876 
  7877 
  7878 *** ML ***
  7879 
  7880 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  7881 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  7882 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  7883 
  7884 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  7885 
  7886 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  7887 up simprocs;
  7888 
  7889 
  7890 *** Document preparation ***
  7891 
  7892 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  7893 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  7894 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  7895 
  7896 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  7897 other packages
  7898 
  7899 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  7900 broke \Rightarrow)
  7901 
  7902 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  7903 textcomp package)
  7904 
  7905 
  7906 
  7907 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  7908 --------------------------------
  7909 
  7910 *** Document preparation ***
  7911 
  7912 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  7913 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  7914 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  7915 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  7916 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  7917 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  7918 
  7919 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  7920 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  7921 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  7922 
  7923 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  7924 blocks after section headings;
  7925 
  7926 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  7927 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  7928 
  7929 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  7930 better in printed text;
  7931 
  7932 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  7933 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  7934 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  7935 
  7936 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  7937 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  7938 location;
  7939 
  7940 
  7941 *** Isar ***
  7942 
  7943 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  7944   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  7945     "case (Suc n)");
  7946   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  7947     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  7948     instantiation of cases;
  7949   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  7950     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  7951     rules without further ado;
  7952   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  7953     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  7954     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  7955     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  7956     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  7957   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  7958     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  7959     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  7960     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  7961     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  7962     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  7963   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  7964     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  7965     below);
  7966   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  7967     success (no backtracking);
  7968   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  7969   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  7970   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  7971     General versions);
  7972   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  7973   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  7974 
  7975 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  7976 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  7977 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  7978 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  7979 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  7980 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  7981 fails:
  7982 
  7983   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  7984 
  7985 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  7986 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  7987 
  7988 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  7989 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  7990 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  7991 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  7992 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  7993 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  7994 some examples;
  7995 
  7996 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  7997 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  7998 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  7999 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8000 qualified by the locale name);
  8001 
  8002 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8003 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8004 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8005 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8006 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8007 
  8008 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8009 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8010 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8011 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8012 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8013 
  8014 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8015 
  8016 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8017 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8018 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8019 
  8020 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8021 
  8022 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8023 
  8024 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8025 
  8026 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8027 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8028 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8029 
  8030 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8031 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8032 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8033 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8034 proof *scripts*;
  8035 
  8036 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8037 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8038 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8039 especially important for locales);
  8040 
  8041 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8042 mode;
  8043 
  8044 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8045 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8046 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8047 situations;
  8048 
  8049 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8050 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8051 
  8052 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8053 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8054 discontinued;
  8055 
  8056 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8057 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8058 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8059 
  8060 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8061 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8062 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8063 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8064 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8065 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8066 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8067 
  8068 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8069 of introduction rules;
  8070 
  8071 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8072 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8073 conditional rules;
  8074 
  8075 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8076 
  8077 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8078 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8079 
  8080 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8081 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8082 
  8083 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8084 wf_induct_rule;
  8085 
  8086 
  8087 *** HOL ***
  8088 
  8089 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8090 follows:
  8091 
  8092   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8093   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8094 
  8095   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8096   binary representation internally;
  8097 
  8098   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8099   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8100 
  8101 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8102 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8103 
  8104   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8105   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8106   to be spaced properly;
  8107 
  8108   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8109   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8110 
  8111   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8112 
  8113   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8114 
  8115 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8116 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8117 
  8118 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8119 
  8120 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8121 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8122 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8123 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8124 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8125 
  8126 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8127   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8128     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8129     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8130     declared as simp by default;
  8131   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8132     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8133   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8134     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8135   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8136   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8137     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8138     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8139   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8140     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8141 
  8142 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8143 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8144 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8145 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8146 
  8147 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8148 
  8149 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8150         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8151         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8152 
  8153 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8154 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8155 
  8156 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8157 
  8158 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8159 
  8160 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8161 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8162   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8163 
  8164 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8165 in this (rare) case use:
  8166 
  8167   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8168   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8169 
  8170 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8171 MAY FAIL;
  8172 
  8173 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8174 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8175 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8176 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8177 
  8178 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8179 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8180 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8181 
  8182 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8183 expressions;
  8184 
  8185 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8186 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8187 
  8188 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8189 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8190 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8191 
  8192 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8193 
  8194 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8195 the "cases" method);
  8196 
  8197 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8198 Florian Kammller);
  8199 
  8200 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8201 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8202 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8203 
  8204 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8205 
  8206 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8207 
  8208 
  8209 *** HOLCF ***
  8210 
  8211 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8212 operations;
  8213 
  8214 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8215 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8216 
  8217 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8218 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8219 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8220 
  8221 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8222 
  8223 
  8224 *** ZF ***
  8225 
  8226 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8227 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8228 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8229 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8230 
  8231 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8232 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8233 
  8234 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8235 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8236 
  8237 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8238 typeless version of the formalism;
  8239 
  8240 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8241 format;
  8242 
  8243 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8244 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8245 new-style theory format;
  8246 
  8247 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8248 
  8249 
  8250 *** General ***
  8251 
  8252 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8253 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8254 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8255 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8256 
  8257 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8258 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8259 
  8260 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8261 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8262 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8263 properly;
  8264 
  8265 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8266 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8267 
  8268 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8269 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8270 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8271 type variable);
  8272 
  8273 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8274 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8275 "type_brackets";
  8276 
  8277 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8278 tokens into AST constants;
  8279 
  8280 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8281 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8282 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8283 
  8284 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8285 practice);
  8286 
  8287 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8288 addSafter;
  8289 
  8290 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8291 as well;
  8292 
  8293 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8294 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8295 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8296 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8297 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8298 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8299 
  8300 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8301 
  8302 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8303 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8304 
  8305 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8306 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8307 
  8308 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8309 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8310 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8311 
  8312 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8313 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8314 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8315 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8316 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8317 
  8318 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8319 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8320 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8321 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8322 
  8323 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8324 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8325 terminal);
  8326 
  8327 
  8328 
  8329 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8330 -----------------------------------
  8331 
  8332 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8333 
  8334 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8335 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8336 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8337 
  8338 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8339 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8340 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8341 'split_rule (complete)';
  8342 
  8343 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8344 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8345 
  8346 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8347 
  8348 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8349 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8350 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8351 
  8352 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8353 operation;
  8354 
  8355 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8356 
  8357 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8358 
  8359 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8360 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8361 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8362 
  8363 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8364 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8365 
  8366 
  8367 *** Document preparation ***
  8368 
  8369 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8370 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8371 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8372 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8373 type-writer);
  8374 
  8375 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8376 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8377 
  8378 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8379 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8380 
  8381 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8382 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8383 definitions);
  8384 
  8385 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8386 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8387 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8388 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8389 
  8390 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8391 fonts;
  8392 
  8393 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8394 generation;
  8395 
  8396 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8397 
  8398 
  8399 *** Isar ***
  8400 
  8401 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8402 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8403 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8404 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8405 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8406 
  8407 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8408 rules as well;
  8409 
  8410 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8411 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8412 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8413 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8414 
  8415 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8416 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8417 
  8418 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8419 statements as well;
  8420 
  8421 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8422 
  8423 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8424 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8425 
  8426 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8427 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8428 
  8429 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8430 
  8431 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8432 
  8433 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8434 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8435 
  8436 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8437 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8438 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8439 
  8440 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8441 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8442 the result to be shown in each case;
  8443 
  8444 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8445 
  8446 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8447 
  8448 
  8449 *** HOL ***
  8450 
  8451 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8452 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8453 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8454 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8455 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8456 
  8457 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8458 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8459 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8460 
  8461 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8462 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8463 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8464 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8465 literature;
  8466 
  8467 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8468 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8469 operator \<Sum>;
  8470 
  8471 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8472 HOL/subset.thy);
  8473 
  8474 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8475 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8476 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8477 
  8478 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8479 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8480 
  8481 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8482 rules with string literals);
  8483 
  8484 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8485  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8486  functions for the reals;
  8487 
  8488 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8489 
  8490 
  8491 *** CTT ***
  8492 
  8493 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8494 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8495 
  8496 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8497 and Arith);
  8498 
  8499 
  8500 *** General ***
  8501 
  8502 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8503 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8504 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8505 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8506 
  8507 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8508 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8509 
  8510 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  8511 as assumptions as well;
  8512 
  8513 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  8514 
  8515 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  8516 
  8517 
  8518 
  8519 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  8520 ----------------------------------
  8521 
  8522 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8523 
  8524 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  8525 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  8526 issue the following ML commands:
  8527 
  8528   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  8529   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  8530 
  8531 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  8532 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  8533 
  8534 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  8535 
  8536 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  8537 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  8538 
  8539   select_equality  -> some_equality
  8540   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  8541   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  8542   selectI2         -> someI2
  8543   selectI          -> someI
  8544   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  8545   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  8546   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  8547 
  8548 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  8549 
  8550 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  8551 instead);
  8552 
  8553 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  8554 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  8555 
  8556 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  8557 
  8558 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  8559 sometimes be needed;
  8560 
  8561 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  8562 
  8563 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  8564 
  8565 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  8566 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  8567 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  8568 
  8569 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  8570 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  8571 
  8572 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  8573 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  8574 
  8575   syntax (symbols)
  8576     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  8577       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  8578 
  8579 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8580 
  8581 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  8582 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  8583 internally;
  8584 
  8585 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  8586 changed from A/r to A//r;
  8587 
  8588 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  8589 proofs;
  8590 
  8591 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  8592 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  8593 
  8594 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8595 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  8596 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  8597 "rule del";
  8598 
  8599 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  8600 
  8601 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  8602 
  8603 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  8604 lib/texinputs);
  8605 
  8606 
  8607 *** Document preparation ***
  8608 
  8609 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  8610 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  8611 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  8612 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  8613 
  8614 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  8615 including proper document sources;
  8616 
  8617 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  8618 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  8619 of isatool usedir;
  8620 
  8621 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  8622 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  8623 LaTeX debugging;
  8624 
  8625 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  8626 
  8627 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  8628 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  8629 graph for 'all sessions';
  8630 
  8631 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  8632 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  8633 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  8634 
  8635 
  8636 *** Isar ***
  8637 
  8638 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  8639 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  8640 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  8641 
  8642 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  8643 generalized existence reasoning;
  8644 
  8645 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  8646 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  8647 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  8648 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  8649 premises;
  8650 
  8651 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  8652 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  8653 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  8654 to theorems as "tags";
  8655 
  8656 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  8657 class/type/const name spaces;
  8658 
  8659 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  8660 indicate potential overloading;
  8661 
  8662 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  8663 
  8664 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  8665 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  8666 
  8667 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  8668 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  8669 with the version in Provers/classical;
  8670 
  8671 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  8672 case name 'antecedent';
  8673 
  8674 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  8675 to the current context is now done automatically);
  8676 
  8677 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  8678 for definining proof methods in ML;
  8679 
  8680 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8681 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  8682 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  8683 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  8684 
  8685 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  8686 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  8687 
  8688 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  8689 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  8690 well (including splits);
  8691 
  8692 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  8693 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  8694 
  8695 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  8696 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  8697 
  8698 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  8699 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  8700 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  8701 
  8702 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  8703 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  8704 calculations;
  8705 
  8706 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  8707 method anyway;
  8708 
  8709 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  8710 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  8711 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  8712 
  8713 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  8714 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  8715 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  8716 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  8717 
  8718 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  8719 
  8720 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  8721 
  8722 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  8723 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  8724 proof states;
  8725 
  8726 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  8727 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  8728 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  8729 
  8730 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  8731 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  8732 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  8733 (for HOL datatypes);
  8734 
  8735 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  8736 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  8737 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  8738 
  8739 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  8740 
  8741 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  8742 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  8743 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  8744 
  8745 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  8746 
  8747 
  8748 *** HOL ***
  8749 
  8750 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  8751 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  8752 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  8753 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  8754 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  8755 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  8756 
  8757 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  8758 Clemens Ballarin;

  8760 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  8761 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  8762 Rasmussen;
  8763 
  8764 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  8765 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  8766 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  8767 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  8768 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  8769 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  8770 
  8771 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  8772 von Oheimb;
  8773 
  8774 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  8775 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  8776 
  8777 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  8778 
  8779 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  8780 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  8781 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  8782 
  8783 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  8784 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  8785 well; admit "r" as field name;
  8786 
  8787 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  8788 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  8789 
  8790 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  8791 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  8792 
  8793 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  8794    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  8795    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  8796   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  8797     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  8798   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  8799     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  8800 
  8801 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  8802 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  8803 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  8804 
  8805 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  8806 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  8807 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  8808 
  8809 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  8810 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  8811 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  8812 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  8813 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  8814 
  8815 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  8816 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  8817 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  8818 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  8819 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  8820 each equation;
  8821 
  8822 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  8823 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  8824 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  8825 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  8826 
  8827 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  8828 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  8829 
  8830 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  8831 
  8832 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  8833 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  8834 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  8835 
  8836 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8837 
  8838 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  8839 main HOL, but was unused);
  8840 
  8841 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  8842 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  8843 
  8844 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  8845 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  8846 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  8847 bogus);
  8848 
  8849 
  8850 *** ZF ***
  8851 
  8852 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  8853 expressions over nat and int;
  8854 
  8855 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  8856 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  8857 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  8858 
  8859 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  8860 using the function intify;
  8861 
  8862 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  8863 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  8864 
  8865 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  8866 simplification;
  8867 
  8868 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  8869 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  8870 
  8871 
  8872 *** General ***
  8873 
  8874 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  8875 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  8876 
  8877 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  8878 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  8879 
  8880 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  8881 explicit make_elim);
  8882 
  8883 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  8884   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8885 use instead the strong form,
  8886   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8887 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  8888 from destruct-rules;
  8889 
  8890 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  8891 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  8892 
  8893 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  8894 
  8895 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  8896 for hiding of names;
  8897 
  8898 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  8899 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  8900 situations;
  8901 
  8902 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  8903 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  8904 Poly/ML);
  8905 
  8906 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  8907 useful for remote X11);
  8908 
  8909 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  8910 
  8911 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  8912 order;
  8913 
  8914 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  8915 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  8916 
  8917 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  8918 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  8919 
  8920 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  8921 overloading (usually false);
  8922 
  8923 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  8924 results;
  8925 
  8926 
  8927 
  8928 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  8929 --------------------------------
  8930 
  8931 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  8932 
  8933 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  8934 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  8935 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  8936 
  8937     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  8938 
  8939 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  8940 complement;
  8941 
  8942 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  8943 
  8944 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  8945   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  8946 
  8947 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  8948 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  8949 
  8950 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  8951 to constants declared in the same theory;
  8952 
  8953 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  8954 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  8955 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  8956 
  8957 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  8958 
  8959 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  8960         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  8961 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  8962 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  8963         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  8964 where the string argument is only a comment.
  8965 
  8966 
  8967 *** Proof tools ***
  8968 
  8969 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  8970 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  8971 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  8972 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  8973 
  8974 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  8975      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  8976   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  8977   matching.
  8978 
  8979 
  8980 *** General ***
  8981 
  8982 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  8983 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  8984 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  8985 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  8986 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  8987 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  8988 
  8989 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  8990 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  8991 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  8992 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  8993 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  8994 
  8995 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  8996 Isabelle/Isar;
  8997 
  8998 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  8999 using the graph browser tool;
  9000 
  9001 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9002 
  9003 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9004 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9005 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9006 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9007 isatool doc ref);
  9008 
  9009 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9010 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9011 
  9012 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9013 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9014 
  9015 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9016 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9017 Isabelle;
  9018 
  9019 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9020 
  9021 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9022 empty;
  9023 
  9024 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9025 long arrows);
  9026 
  9027 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9028 
  9029 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9030 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9031 
  9032 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9033 mode and goal output format:
  9034 
  9035 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9036 244c244
  9037 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9038 ---
  9039 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9040 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9041 181c181
  9042 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9043 ---
  9044 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9045 
  9046 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9047 
  9048 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9049 
  9050 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9051 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9052 result still apply;
  9053 
  9054 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9055 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9056 
  9057 
  9058 *** HOL ***
  9059 
  9060 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9061 
  9062 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9063 int:
  9064 
  9065 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9066 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9067 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9068 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9069 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9070 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9071 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9072 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9073 
  9074 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9075 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9076 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9077 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9078 simplifier.
  9079 
  9080 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9081 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9082 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9083 
  9084 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9085 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9086 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9087 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9088 type constraints;
  9089 
  9090 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9091 arguments;
  9092 
  9093 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9094 are now available;
  9095 
  9096 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9097 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9098 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9099 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9100 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9101   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9102 
  9103 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9104 
  9105 
  9106 ** HOL misc **
  9107 
  9108 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9109 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9110 
  9111 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9112 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9113 
  9114 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9115 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9116 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9117 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9118 
  9119 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9120   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9121   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9122   "mono" attribute);
  9123 
  9124 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9125   (using function types) such as
  9126 
  9127   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9128 
  9129 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9130 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9131 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9132 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9133 
  9134   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9135   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9136 
  9137 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9138 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9139 
  9140 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9141 names rather than an ML expression;
  9142 
  9143 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9144 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9145     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9146 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9147 
  9148 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9149 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9150 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9151 
  9152 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9153 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9154 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9155 
  9156 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9157 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9158 
  9159 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9160 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9161 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9162 
  9163 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9164 
  9165 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9166 thus available for user theories;
  9167 
  9168 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9169 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9170 time;
  9171 
  9172 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9173 several times and then mp;
  9174 
  9175 
  9176 *** LK ***
  9177 
  9178 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9179 formulas;
  9180 
  9181 * the simplifier is now installed
  9182 
  9183 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9184 
  9185 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9186 
  9187 
  9188 *** ZF ***
  9189 
  9190 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9191 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9192 
  9193 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9194 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9195 
  9196 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9197 
  9198 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9199 constructors;
  9200 
  9201 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9202 type-checking rules;
  9203 
  9204 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9205 to the claset;
  9206 
  9207 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9208 if(P,x,y);
  9209 
  9210 
  9211 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9212 
  9213 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9214 
  9215 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9216 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9217 
  9218 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9219 
  9220 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9221 printing empty lines;
  9222 
  9223 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9224 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9225 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9226 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9227 
  9228 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9229 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9230 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9231 
  9232 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9233 now of type real instead of int;
  9234 
  9235 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9236 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9237 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9238 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9239 
  9240 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9241 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9242 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9243 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9244 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9245 
  9246 
  9247 
  9248 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9249 ----------------------------------
  9250 
  9251 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9252 
  9253 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9254 
  9255 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9256 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9257 
  9258 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9259 called `inj_on';
  9260 
  9261 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9262   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9263   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9264 
  9265 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9266 required);
  9267 
  9268 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9269 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9270 now taken as an integer constant.
  9271 
  9272 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9273 
  9274 
  9275 *** Proof tools ***
  9276 
  9277 * Simplifier:
  9278   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9279      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9280         simplify.
  9281      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9282         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9283      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9284      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9285   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9286 
  9287 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9288 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9289 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9290 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9291 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9292 one (emitting a warning).
  9293   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9294   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9295   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9296   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9297   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9298 
  9299 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9300 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9301 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9302 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9303 by Force_tac;
  9304 
  9305 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9306 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9307 
  9308 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9309 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9310 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9311 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9312 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9313 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9314 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9315 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9316 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9317 
  9318 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9319 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9320 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9321 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9322 
  9323 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9324 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9325 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9326 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9327 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9328 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9329 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9330 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9331 t is the name of the datatype).
  9332 
  9333 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9334 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9335 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9336 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9337 
  9338 
  9339 *** General ***
  9340 
  9341 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9342 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9343 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9344 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9345 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9346 (backup your sources first!);
  9347 
  9348 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9349 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9350 
  9351 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9352 definitions that have local scope;
  9353 
  9354 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9355 
  9356 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9357 (e.g. package initialization);
  9358 
  9359 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9360 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9361 
  9362 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9363 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9364 
  9365 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9366 
  9367 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9368 
  9369 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9370 
  9371 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9372 
  9373 
  9374 *** HOL ***
  9375 
  9376 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9377 
  9378 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9379 definitions such as
  9380 
  9381   inductive EVEN ODD
  9382     intrs
  9383       null "0 : EVEN"
  9384       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9385       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9386 
  9387 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9388 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9389 correctly (also ZF);
  9390 
  9391 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9392 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9393 contained in "induct";
  9394 
  9395 
  9396 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9397 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9398 
  9399   datatype
  9400     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9401             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9402             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9403             | NUM 'a
  9404   and
  9405     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9406             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9407             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9408 
  9409 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9410 
  9411   datatype
  9412     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9413                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9414 
  9415 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9416 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9417 
  9418 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9419 <function_name>.simps.
  9420 
  9421 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9422 
  9423   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9424     ancestor.
  9425   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9426     generic induct_tac instead.
  9427   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9428     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9429     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9430     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9431   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9432     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9433   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9434     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9435     sort constraints.
  9436   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9437     of recursive argument.
  9438 
  9439 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9440 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9441 
  9442 
  9443 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9444 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9445 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9446 support is as follows:
  9447 
  9448   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9449 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9450 
  9451   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9452 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9453 
  9454   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9455 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9456 
  9457 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9458 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9459 the name of your record type.
  9460 
  9461 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9462 
  9463   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9464 
  9465 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9466 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9467 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9468 solve record problems automatically.
  9469 
  9470 
  9471 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9472 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9473 
  9474 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9475 
  9476 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9477 
  9478 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9479 
  9480 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9481 
  9482 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9483 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9484 with add/delsplits);
  9485 
  9486 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9487 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9488 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9489 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9490 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9491 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9492 %u.f();
  9493 
  9494 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9495 makes more sense);
  9496 
  9497 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9498   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9499   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9500 
  9501 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9502 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9503 literature);
  9504 
  9505 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9506 the well-founded relation;
  9507 
  9508 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9509     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
  9510     release ONLY.
  9511 
  9512 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
  9513     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
  9514 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9515 
  9516 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
  9517 
  9518 * HOL/List:
  9519   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
  9520     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
  9521   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
  9522     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
  9523     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
  9524   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
  9525 
  9526 * HOL/Arith:
  9527   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
  9528   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
  9529   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
  9530   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
  9531 
  9532 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
  9533 instead of "inverse";
  9534 
  9535 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
  9536   of the multiset ordering;
  9537 
  9538 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
  9539   (not included by default);
  9540 
  9541 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
  9542 
  9543 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
  9544   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
  9545 
  9546 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9547   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9548   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9549 
  9550 
  9551 *** ZF ***
  9552 
  9553 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
  9554   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
  9555 
  9556 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9557   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9558   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9559 
  9560 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
  9561     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
  9562   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9563 
  9564 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
  9565 
  9566 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9567   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9568   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9569 
  9570 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
  9571     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
  9572 
  9573 
  9574 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9575 
  9576 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
  9577 also src/Pure/README;
  9578 
  9579 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
  9580 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
  9581 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
  9582 print_data function becomes basically useless;
  9583 
  9584 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
  9585 are qualified by default;
  9586 
  9587 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
  9588 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
  9589 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
  9590 
  9591 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
  9592 cterm -> thm;
  9593 
  9594 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
  9595 subgoal;
  9596 
  9597 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
  9598 
  9599 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
  9600 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
  9601 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
  9602 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
  9603 for example;
  9604 
  9605 
  9606 
  9607 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
  9608 --------------------------------
  9609 
  9610 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9611 
  9612 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
  9613 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
  9614 
  9615 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
  9616 simpset / simpset_ref;
  9617 
  9618 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
  9619 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
  9620 
  9621 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
  9622 
  9623 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
  9624 
  9625 
  9626 *** General Changes ***
  9627 
  9628 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
  9629 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
  9630 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
  9631 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
  9632 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
  9633 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
  9634 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
  9635 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
  9636 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
  9637 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
  9638 section;
  9639 
  9640 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
  9641 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
  9642 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
  9643 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
  9644 to patch your ML files accordingly;
  9645 
  9646 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
  9647 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
  9648 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
  9649 
  9650 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
  9651 conditional equations;
  9652 
  9653 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
  9654 
  9655 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
  9656 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
  9657 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
  9658 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
  9659 
  9660 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
  9661 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
  9662 
  9663 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
  9664 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
  9665 
  9666 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
  9667 show_types);
  9668 
  9669 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
  9670 
  9671 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
  9672 
  9673 * removed old README and Makefiles;
  9674 
  9675 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
  9676 
  9677 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
  9678 
  9679 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
  9680     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
  9681 
  9682 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
  9683 (which abbreviates $HOME);
  9684 
  9685 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
  9686 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
  9687 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
  9688 
  9689 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
  9690 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
  9691 
  9692 
  9693 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9694 
  9695 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
  9696 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
  9697 splitting it into several subgoals;
  9698 
  9699 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
  9700 
  9701 
  9702 *** Simplifier ***
  9703 
  9704 * added simplification meta rules:
  9705     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
  9706 
  9707 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
  9708 logics (again);
  9709 
  9710 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
  9711 
  9712 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
  9713   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
  9714   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
  9715 
  9716 
  9717 *** Syntax ***
  9718 
  9719 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
  9720 
  9721 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
  9722 
  9723 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
  9724 
  9725 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
  9726 
  9727 
  9728 *** HOL ***
  9729 
  9730 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9731   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9732 
  9733 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
  9734 
  9735 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
  9736   protocol TLS;
  9737 
  9738 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
  9739 
  9740 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
  9741 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
  9742 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
  9743 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
  9744 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
  9745 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
  9746 
  9747 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
  9748   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
  9749   are rewritten to
  9750   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
  9751   and those of the form
  9752   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
  9753   are rewritten to
  9754   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
  9755 
  9756 * HOL/datatype
  9757   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
  9758 
  9759   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9760      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
  9761         ...
  9762        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9763      )
  9764 
  9765   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
  9766 
  9767   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9768     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
  9769         ...
  9770        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9771      )
  9772   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
  9773   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
  9774   split_list_case and split_option_case.
  9775 
  9776 * HOL/Arithmetic:
  9777   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
  9778     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
  9779     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
  9780   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
  9781     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
  9782     `standard'.
  9783 
  9784 * HOL/Lists:
  9785   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
  9786   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
  9787   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
  9788 
  9789 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
  9790 
  9791 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
  9792   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
  9793 
  9794 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
  9795 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
  9796 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
  9797 
  9798 
  9799 *** HOLCF ***
  9800 
  9801 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
  9802 
  9803 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
  9804   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
  9805 
  9806 * domain package:
  9807   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
  9808   . creates hierachical name space,
  9809   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
  9810   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
  9811   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
  9812   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
  9813   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
  9814     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
  9815 
  9816 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
  9817 
  9818 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
  9819 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
  9820 
  9821 
  9822 *** FOL and ZF ***
  9823 
  9824 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9825   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9826 
  9827 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
  9828 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
  9829 
  9830 
  9831 
  9832 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
  9833 ------------------------------
  9834 
  9835 *** General Changes ***
  9836 
  9837 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
  9838 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
  9839 
  9840 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
  9841 
  9842 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
  9843 
  9844 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
  9845 messages and clean internal interface;
  9846 
  9847 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
  9848 setting goals_limit);
  9849 
  9850 
  9851 *** Syntax ***
  9852 
  9853 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
  9854 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
  9855 
  9856 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
  9857 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
  9858 "symbols" syntax table;
  9859 
  9860 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
  9861 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
  9862 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
  9863 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
  9864 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
  9865 
  9866 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
  9867 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
  9868 version of xterm);
  9869 
  9870 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
  9871 
  9872 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
  9873 access type of constant);
  9874 
  9875 
  9876 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9877 
  9878 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
  9879 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
  9880   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
  9881   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
  9882         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
  9883   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
  9884   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
  9885     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
  9886   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
  9887 
  9888 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
  9889 assumptions;
  9890 
  9891 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
  9892 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
  9893 (and access functions for it);
  9894 
  9895 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
  9896   + functions for handling clasimpsets
  9897   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
  9898     safe steps.
  9899   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
  9900     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
  9901     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
  9902 
  9903 *** Simplifier ***
  9904 
  9905 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
  9906 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
  9907 redex);
  9908 
  9909 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
  9910 
  9911 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
  9912 
  9913 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
  9914 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
  9915 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
  9916 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
  9917 
  9918 
  9919 *** HOL ***
  9920 
  9921 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
  9922 also for type `nat';
  9923 
  9924 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
  9925 datatypes and also for type `nat';
  9926 
  9927 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
  9928 
  9929 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
  9930 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
  9931 
  9932 * primrec now also works with type nat;
  9933 
  9934 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
  9935 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
  9936 
  9937 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
  9938 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
  9939 
  9940 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
  9941 infinite lists;
  9942 
  9943 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
  9944 
  9945 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
  9946 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
  9947 
  9948 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
  9949 
  9950 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
  9951 
  9952 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
  9953 
  9954 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
  9955 
  9956 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
  9957   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
  9958   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
  9959   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
  9960   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
  9961   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
  9962   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
  9963   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
  9964   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
  9965 
  9966 
  9967 *** ZF ***
  9968 
  9969 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
  9970 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
  9971 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
  9972 
  9973 
  9974 
  9975 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
  9976 ---------------------------------
  9977 
  9978 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
  9979 
  9980 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
  9981 
  9982 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
  9983 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
  9984 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
  9985 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
  9986 
  9987 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
  9988 
  9989 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
  9990 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
  9991 
  9992 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
  9993 
  9994 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
  9995 examples on HOL/Auth);
  9996 
  9997 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
  9998 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9999 
 10000 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10001 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10002 
 10003 
 10004 
 10005 New in Isabelle94-6
 10006 -------------------
 10007 
 10008 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10009 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10010 
 10011 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10012 
 10013 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10014 
 10015 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10016 
 10017 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10018 
 10019 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10020 
 10021 
 10022 
 10023 New in Isabelle94-5
 10024 -------------------
 10025 
 10026 * reduced space requirements;
 10027 
 10028 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10029 
 10030 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10031 
 10032 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10033 
 10034 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10035 
 10036 
 10037 
 10038 New in Isabelle94-4
 10039 -------------------
 10040 
 10041 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10042 
 10043 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10044 
 10045 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10046 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10047 
 10048 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10049 Axiom of Choice;
 10050 
 10051 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10052 
 10053 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10054 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10055 
 10056 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10057 
 10058 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10059 translates to the operator "split";
 10060 
 10061 
 10062 
 10063 New in Isabelle94-3
 10064 -------------------
 10065 
 10066 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10067 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10068         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10069 
 10070 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10071 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10072 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10073 
 10074 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10075 
 10076 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10077 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10078 
 10079 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10080 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10081 
 10082 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10083 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10084 
 10085 
 10086 
 10087 New in Isabelle94-2
 10088 -------------------
 10089 
 10090 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10091 
 10092 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10093 freely;
 10094 
 10095 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10096 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10097 
 10098 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10099 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10100 (theory_of_thm);
 10101 
 10102 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10103 
 10104 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10105 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10106 
 10107 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10108 have been removed;
 10109 
 10110 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10111 
 10112 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10113 
 10114 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10115 types;
 10116 
 10117 :mode=text:wrap=hard:maxLineLen=72:
