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

   284 
   285 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   286 
   287 * New (co)datatype package:
   288   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.

   300     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   301   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   302     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   303     using "prim(co)rec".
   304     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   305   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   306     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   307     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   308   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   309     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   310     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   311     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   312 
   313 * Old datatype package:
   314   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   315     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   316     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   317   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   318     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   319     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   320 
   321 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,

   323   BNF-based datatype package.
   324 
   325   Renamed constants:
   326     Option.set ~> set_option

   432 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   433 
   434 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   435 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   436 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   437 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   438 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   439 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   440 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   441 
   442 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   443 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   444 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   445 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   446 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   447 
   448 * Sledgehammer:
   449   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   450   - MaSh overhaul:
   451     . New SML-based learning engines eliminate the dependency on
   452       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   453     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
   454       traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
   455       MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
   456       Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
   457   - New option:
   458       smt_proofs
   459   - Renamed options:
   460       isar_compress ~> compress
   461       isar_try0 ~> try0
   462 
   463 INCOMPATIBILITY.

   465 * Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
   466 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   467 
   468 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   469 
   470 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   471 
   472 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   473 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   474 
   475 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   476 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   477 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   478 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   479 
   480 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   481 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   482 
   483 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   484 with the given constants.

   562 
   563 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   564 
   565 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   566   - Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   567   - Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   568   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   569     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   570   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   571     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   572   - Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

   600 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   601 
   602 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   603 
   604 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   605 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   606 
   607 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   608 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   609 
   610 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   611 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   612 or the brute way with
   613 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   614 
   615 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.
   616 
   617 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   618 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   619 
   620 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   621 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   622 stating boundedness of sets.
   623 
   624 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   625 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   626 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   627 
   628 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:

   652 
   653 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:

   655 
   656   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   657 
   658   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   659 
   660   - removed constant isDiff
   661 
   662   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   663     input syntax.
   664 
   665   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.
   666 
   667   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   668 
   669   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   670 
   671   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   672 
   673   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   674     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   675     has_vector_derivative.

   686 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   687 
   688 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
   689 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   690 in continuous_intros.
   691 
   692 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   693 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   694 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   695 
   696 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   697 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
   698 especially removes
   699 
   700     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   701 
   702 Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   703     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"
   704 
   705 Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.

   736 
   737 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   738 
   739 * Nitpick:
   740   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   741     take infinite values.
   742   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   743     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   744   - Removed "std" option.
   745   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   746     "hide_types".
   747 
   748 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   749   - Type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces.
   750   - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   751     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   752   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   753     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   754     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   755     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   756     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   757     intervals.
   758   - renamed theorems:

   816     The following theorems where removed:
   817 
   818     lebesgue_integral_nonneg
   819     lebesgue_integral_uminus
   820     lebesgue_integral_cmult
   821     lebesgue_integral_multc
   822     lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
   823     integral_cmul_indicator
   824     integral_real
   825 
   826   - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:
   827 
   828     . Renamed all lemmas "*positive_integral*" to *nn_integral*"
   829       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   830 
   831     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.
   832 
   833   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   834     distributed random variables.
   835 
   836 * Removed theory src/HOL/Library/Kleene_Algebra.thy; it is subsumed by
   837 session Kleene_Algebra in AFP.
   838 
   839 
   840 *** Scala ***
   841 
   842 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   843 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   844 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   845 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   846 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   847 
   848 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   849 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   850 
   851 
   852 *** ML ***
   853 
   854 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   855 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   856 
   857 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   858 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
   859 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   860 
   861 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   862 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   863 
   864 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   865 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   866 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   867 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   868 
   869 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   870 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   871 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   872 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   873 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   874 of schematic variables.
   875 
   876 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   877 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   878 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   879 formal context.
   880 
   881 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   882 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   883 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   884 actually belongs to it).
   885 
   886 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   887 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   888 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   889 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   890 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   891 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   892 
   893 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   894 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   895 
   896 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   897 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   898 
   899 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   900 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   901 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   902 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   903 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
   904 
   905 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
   906 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
   907 purposes.
   908 
   909 
   910 *** System ***
   911 
   912 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
   913 Isabelle component, e.g. ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
   914 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  See also
   915 the "system" manual for general explanations about add-on components,
   916 notably those that are not bundled with the normal release.
   917 
   918 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
   919 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
   920 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
   921 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
   922 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS
   923 settings variable yet.
   924 
   925 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
   926 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
   927 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
   928 
   929 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
   930 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
   931 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
   932 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
   933 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
   934 
   935 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
   936 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
   937 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
   938 
   939 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
   940 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
   941 
   942 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
   943 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
   944 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
   945 
   946 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
   947 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
   948 
   949 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
   950 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
   951 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
   952 processing is started.
   953 
   954 
   955 
   956 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
   957 -------------------------------------
   958 
   959 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   960 
   961 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
   962 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
   963 
   964 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
   965 after edits surrounding the command location.
   966 
   967 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
   968 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
   969 e.g. out-of-memory).
   970 
   971 
   972 *** System ***
   973 
   974 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
   975 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
   976 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
   977 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
   978 
   979 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
   980 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
   981 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
   982 
   983 
   984 
   985 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
   986 -------------------------------------
   987 
   988 *** General ***
   989 
   990 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
   991 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
   992 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   993 
   994 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
   995 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   996 
   997 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
   998 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
   999 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1000 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1001 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1002 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1003 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1004 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1005 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1006 syntax.
  1007 
  1008 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1009 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1010 
  1011 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1012 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1013 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1014 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1015 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1016 
  1017 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1018 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1019 
  1020 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1021 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1022 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1023 
  1024 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1025 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1026 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1027 
  1028 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1029 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1030 
  1031 
  1032 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1033 
  1034 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1035 Documentation panel.
  1036 
  1037 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1038 documentation.
  1039 
  1040 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1041 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1042 
  1043 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1044 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1045 normal editing and checking process.
  1046 
  1047 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1048 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1049 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1050 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1051 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1052 
  1053 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1054 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1055 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1056 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1057 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1058 
  1059 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1060 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1061 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1062 
  1063 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1064 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1065 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1066 to resolve conflict.
  1067 
  1068 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1069 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1070 
  1071 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1072 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1073 such command executions while editing.
  1074 
  1075 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1076 document content.
  1077 
  1078 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1079 toplevel theorem statements.
  1080 
  1081 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1082 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1083 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1084 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1085 
  1086 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1087 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1088 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1089 
  1090 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1091 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1092 
  1093 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1094 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1095 
  1096 
  1097 *** Pure ***
  1098 
  1099 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1100 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1101 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1102 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1103 details.
  1104 
  1105 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1106 
  1107 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1108 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1109 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1110 
  1111 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1112 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1113 
  1114 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1115 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1116 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1117 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1118 
  1119 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1120 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1121 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1122 
  1123 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1124 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1125 
  1126 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1127 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1128 situations.
  1129 
  1130 
  1131 *** HOL ***
  1132 
  1133 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1134 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1135 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1136 
  1137 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1138 
  1139 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1140 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1141 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1142 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1143 
  1144   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1145 
  1146 * Code generator:
  1147   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1148     'code_instance'.
  1149   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1150     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1151 
  1152 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1153 examples.
  1154 
  1155 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1156 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1157 to distinguish both when desired.
  1158 
  1159 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1160 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1161 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1162 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1163 
  1164 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1165 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1166 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1167 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1168 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1169 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1170 
  1171 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1172 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1173 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1174 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1175 
  1176 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1177 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1178 
  1179 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1180 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1181 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1182 
  1183 * Lifting:
  1184   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1185     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1186       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1187       transfer rules
  1188     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1189       correspondence relation can be generated
  1190     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1191       parametricity
  1192     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1193   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1194   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1195     copies
  1196   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1197     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1198     anonymous context)
  1199   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1200     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1201   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1202     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1203   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1204     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1205 
  1206 * Transfer:
  1207   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1208     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1209   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1210   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1211     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1212   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1213 
  1214 * Reification and reflection:
  1215   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1216     "Reification".
  1217   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1218   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1219 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1220 
  1221 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1222   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1223     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1224     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1225   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1226     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1227   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1228     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1229     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1230     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1231     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1232     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1233     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1234     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1235   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1236     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1237   - Fact renames:
  1238       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1239       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1240 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1241 
  1242 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1243 
  1244 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1245 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1246 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1247 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1248 
  1249 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1250 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1251 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1252 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1253 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1254 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1255 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1256 lemmas.
  1257 
  1258 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1259 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1260 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1261 
  1262 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1263 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1264 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1265 
  1266 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1267 top and bottom elements.
  1268 
  1269 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1270 
  1271 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1272 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1273 
  1274  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1275    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1276    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1277 
  1278  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1279    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1280    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1281 
  1282    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1283    arbitrary filter.
  1284 
  1285  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1286    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1287    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1288    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1289    on a compact set.
  1290 
  1291  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1292    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1293    linear_continuum_topology).
  1294 
  1295  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1296    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1297    on all sequences converging to x.
  1298 
  1299  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1300    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1301    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1302    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1303    left or right.
  1304 
  1305  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1306 
  1307      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1308 
  1309  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1310    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1311 
  1312  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1313    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1314    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1315    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1316    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1317    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1318 
  1319  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1320 
  1321    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1322 
  1323    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1324      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1325 
  1326    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1327 
  1328    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1329      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1330 
  1331    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1332 
  1333    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1334 
  1335  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1336 
  1337 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1338 
  1339 * Nitpick:
  1340   - Added option "spy".
  1341   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1342 
  1343 * Sledgehammer:
  1344   - Renamed option:
  1345       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1346     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1347   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1348   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1349   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1350 
  1351 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1352 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1353 
  1354 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1355   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1356   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1357     generated code.
  1358   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1359   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1360   - Fact renames:
  1361     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1362     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1363     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1364 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1365 
  1366 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1367 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1368 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1369 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1370 
  1371 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1372 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1373 
  1374 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1375 
  1376 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1377 
  1378     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1379     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1380 
  1381 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1382 
  1383 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1384 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1385 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1386 
  1387 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1388 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1389 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1390 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1391 
  1392 * HOL-BNF:
  1393   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1394     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1395     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1396     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1397   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1398     coinduct).
  1399   - Renamed keywords:
  1400     data ~> datatype_new
  1401     codata ~> codatatype
  1402     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1403   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1404     discs ~> disc
  1405     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1406     map_id' ~> map_id
  1407     sels ~> sel
  1408     set_map' ~> set_map
  1409     sets ~> set
  1410 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1411 
  1412 
  1413 *** ML ***
  1414 
  1415 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1416 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1417 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1418 Examples.thy in particular.
  1419 
  1420 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1421 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1422 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1423 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1424 
  1425 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1426 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1427 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1428 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1429 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1430 
  1431 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1432 
  1433     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1434     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1435 
  1436 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1437 
  1438 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1439 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1440 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1441 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1442 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1443 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1444 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1445 
  1446 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1447 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1448 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1449 clasets separately from the context.
  1450 
  1451 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1452 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1453 
  1454 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1455 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1456 
  1457 
  1458 *** System ***
  1459 
  1460 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1461 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1462 
  1463 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1464 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1465 
  1466 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1467 settings variable.
  1468 
  1469 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1470 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1471 always pdf.
  1472 
  1473 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1474 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1475 
  1476 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1477 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1478 
  1479 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1480 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1481 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1482 
  1483 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1484 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1485 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1486 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1487 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1488 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1489 
  1490 
  1491 
  1492 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1493 -----------------------------------
  1494 
  1495 *** General ***
  1496 
  1497 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1498 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1499 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1500 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1501 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1502 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1503 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1504 
  1505 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1506 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1507 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1508 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1509 
  1510 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1511 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1512 
  1513 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1514 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1515 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1516 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1517 dependencies properly.
  1518 
  1519 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1520 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1521 
  1522 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1523 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1524 
  1525 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1526 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1527 and "class ... context ...".
  1528 
  1529 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1530 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1531 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1532 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1533 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1534 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1535 
  1536 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1537 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1538 
  1539 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1540 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1541 
  1542 
  1543 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1544 
  1545 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1546 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1547 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1548 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1549 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1550 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1551 
  1552 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1553 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1554 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1555 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1556 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1557 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1558 
  1559 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1560 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1561 browser on demand.
  1562 
  1563 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1564 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1565 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1566 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1567 
  1568 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1569 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1570 
  1571 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1572 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1573 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1574 potentially infinite message streams.
  1575 
  1576 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1577 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1578 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1579 schemes.
  1580 
  1581 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1582 symbols.
  1583 
  1584 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1585 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1586 
  1587 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1588 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1589 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1590 
  1591 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1592 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1593 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1594 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1595 
  1596 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1597 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1598 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1599 
  1600 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1601 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1602 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1603 Isabelle distribution.
  1604 
  1605 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1606 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1607 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1608 
  1609 
  1610 *** Pure ***
  1611 
  1612 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1613 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1614 
  1615 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1616 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1617 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1618 
  1619 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1620 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1621 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1622 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1623 with some care where this is really required.
  1624 
  1625 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1626 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1627 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1628 
  1629   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1630 
  1631 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1632 a Hasse diagram.
  1633 
  1634 
  1635 *** HOL ***
  1636 
  1637 * Sledgehammer:
  1638 
  1639   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1640     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1641   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1642   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1643   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1644   - Renamed options:
  1645       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1646       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1647       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1648       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1649 
  1650 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1651 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1652 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1653 
  1654 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1655 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1656 
  1657 * Lifting:
  1658   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1659   - quot_del attribute
  1660   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1661 
  1662 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1663 expressions.
  1664 
  1665 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1666 pointfree expressions.
  1667 
  1668 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1669 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1670 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1671 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1672 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1673 
  1674 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1675 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1676 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1677 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1678 accordingly.
  1679 
  1680 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1681 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1682 
  1683 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1684 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1685 
  1686 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1687 
  1688 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1689 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1690 
  1691 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1692 
  1693 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1694 
  1695   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1696   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1697 
  1698 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1699 
  1700 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1701 
  1702   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1703   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1704 
  1705 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1706 
  1707 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1708 
  1709   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1710     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1711     output f x converges to G.
  1712 
  1713   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1714     infinity (at_bot).
  1715 
  1716   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1717     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1718 
  1719   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1720     at_top".
  1721 
  1722 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1723 
  1724 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1725 lattice type classes.
  1726 
  1727 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1728 
  1729     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1730     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1731 
  1732 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1733 
  1734 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1735 changes as follows.
  1736 
  1737   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1738 
  1739       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1740       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1741 
  1742   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1743     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1744     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1745     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1746 
  1747   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1748     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1749     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1750 
  1751   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1752     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1753     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1754     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1755 
  1756   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1757     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1758 
  1759       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1760       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1761       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1762       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1763       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1764       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1765       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1766       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1767       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1768       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1769       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1770       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1771       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1772       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1773       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1774       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1775 
  1776 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1777 
  1778 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1779 
  1780 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1781 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1782 
  1783 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1784 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1785 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1786 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1787 
  1788   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1789   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1790   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1791   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1792   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1793   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1794   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1795   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1796   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1797   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1798 
  1799 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1800 
  1801 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1802 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1803 Data").
  1804 
  1805 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1806 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1807 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1808 code.
  1809 
  1810 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1811 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1812 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1813 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1814 
  1815 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1816 
  1817 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1818 
  1819 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1820 
  1821   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1822   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1823 
  1824 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1825 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1826 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1827 
  1828   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1829 
  1830     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1831     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1832     cart_base i  removed
  1833     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1834 
  1835   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1836 
  1837   Renamed lemmas:
  1838 
  1839     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1840     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1841     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1842     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1843     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1844     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1845     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1846     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1847     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1848     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1849 
  1850 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1851 
  1852 * HOL/Probability:
  1853 
  1854   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1855 
  1856   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1857     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1858     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1859 
  1860   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1861     projective family).
  1862 
  1863 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1864 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1865 
  1866 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1867 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1868 datatypes.
  1869 
  1870 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1871 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1872 
  1873 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1874 trees for the code generator.
  1875 
  1876 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1877 Lifting/Transfer.
  1878 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1879 
  1880 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1881 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1882 
  1883 
  1884 *** Document preparation ***
  1885 
  1886 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1887 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1888 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1889 
  1890 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1891 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1892 
  1893 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1894 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1895 document/root.tex.
  1896 
  1897 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1898 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1899 
  1900 
  1901 *** ML ***
  1902 
  1903 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1904 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1905 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1906 
  1907 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1908 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1909 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1910 
  1911 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1912 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1913 necessarily printing visible text.
  1914 
  1915 
  1916 *** System ***
  1917 
  1918 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1919 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1920 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1921 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1922 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1923 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1924 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1925 
  1926 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1927 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1928 
  1929   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1930 
  1931 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1932 
  1933 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1934 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1935 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1936 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1937 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1938 
  1939 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1940 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1941 
  1942 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1943 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1944 
  1945 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1946 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1947 
  1948 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1949 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1950 version of Isabelle.
  1951 
  1952 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1953 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1954 
  1955 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1956 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1957 for home-made settings.
  1958 
  1959 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1960 
  1961 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1962 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1963 configuration.
  1964 
  1965 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1966 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1967 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1968 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1969 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1970 
  1971 
  1972 
  1973 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1974 ------------------------------
  1975 
  1976 *** General ***
  1977 
  1978 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1979 
  1980   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1981     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1982   - markup for bound variables
  1983   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1984   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1985   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1986     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1987 
  1988 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1989 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1990 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1991 
  1992 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1993 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1994 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1995 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1996 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1997 
  1998   context
  1999     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2000     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2001   begin
  2002 
  2003   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2004 
  2005   end
  2006 
  2007   thm my_trans
  2008 
  2009 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2010 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2011 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2012 
  2013 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2014 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2015 
  2016 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2017 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2018 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2019 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2020 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2021 
  2022 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2023 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2024 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2025 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2026 indices of schematic variables.
  2027 
  2028 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2029 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2030 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2031 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2032 etc. was exploited.
  2033 
  2034 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2035 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2036 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2037 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2038 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2039 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2040 
  2041 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2042 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2043 manual.
  2044 
  2045 
  2046 *** Pure ***
  2047 
  2048 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2049 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2050 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2051 
  2052 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2053 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2054 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2055 undocumented feature.)
  2056 
  2057 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2058 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2059 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2060 
  2061   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2062 
  2063   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2064     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2065 
  2066 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2067 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2068 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2069 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2070 
  2071 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2072 
  2073     num ~> num_token
  2074     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2075     xstr ~> str_token
  2076 
  2077 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2078 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2079 position information via constraints).
  2080 
  2081 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2082 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2083 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2084 
  2085 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2086 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2087 
  2088 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2089 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2090 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2091 
  2092 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2093 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2094 
  2095 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2096 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2097 
  2098   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2099 
  2100 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2101 
  2102 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2103 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2104 
  2105 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2106 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2107 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2108 
  2109 
  2110 *** HOL ***
  2111 
  2112 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2113 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2114 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2115 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2116 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2117 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2118 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2119 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2120 possible.
  2121 
  2122 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2123 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2124 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2125 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2126 
  2127 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2128 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2129 
  2130 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2131 
  2132 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2133 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2134 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2135 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2136 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2137 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2138 
  2139   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2140     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2141 
  2142   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2143     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2144     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2145 
  2146   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2147     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2148 
  2149   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2150     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2151     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2152 
  2153   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2154     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2155 
  2156 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2157 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2158 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2159 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2160 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2161 
  2162   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2163     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2164     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2165     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2166     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2167 
  2168     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2169     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2170 
  2171   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2172     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2173     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2174     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2175     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2176     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2177     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2178     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2179 
  2180   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2181     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2182     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2183     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2184 
  2185   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2186     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2187     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2188     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2189 
  2190   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2191     from type nat to type int.
  2192 
  2193 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2194 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2195 
  2196   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2197     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2198     type.  Example syntax:
  2199 
  2200     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2201       is List.insert
  2202 
  2203     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2204     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2205     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2206     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2207     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2208     by the package.
  2209 
  2210   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2211     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2212     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2213     code generation for each constant.
  2214 
  2215   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2216     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2217     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2218     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2219     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2220 
  2221   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2222     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2223     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2224 
  2225 * Quotient package:
  2226 
  2227   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2228     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2229 
  2230   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2231     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2232 
  2233   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2234     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2235     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2236 
  2237   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2238     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2239 
  2240 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2241 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2242 
  2243 * Quickcheck:
  2244 
  2245   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2246     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2247     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2248     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2249     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2250 
  2251     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2252     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2253     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2254 
  2255     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2256     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2257 
  2258     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2259     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2260     show genuine counterexamples.
  2261 
  2262   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2263     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2264 
  2265     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2266     constructors of that type.
  2267 
  2268   - Support for multisets.
  2269 
  2270   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2271 
  2272   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2273     conjectures in a locale context.
  2274 
  2275 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2276 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2277 
  2278 * Sledgehammer:
  2279   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2280     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2281   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2282   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2283     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2284   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2285   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2286   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2287   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2288 
  2289 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2290 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2291 
  2292 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2293 
  2294 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2295 
  2296 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2297 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2298 
  2299   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2300 
  2301 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2302 a list and a nat.
  2303 
  2304 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2305 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2306 
  2307 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2308 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2309 default.
  2310 
  2311 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2312 
  2313   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2314 
  2315 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2316 
  2317 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2318 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2319 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2320 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2321 one_case.
  2322 
  2323 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2324 the result of the fact expression.
  2325 
  2326 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2327 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2328 of some relation theorems:
  2329 
  2330   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2331   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2332   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2333   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2334   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2335   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2336 
  2337 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2338 
  2339 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2340 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2341 
  2342 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2343 
  2344 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2345 to match the constant's name:
  2346 
  2347   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2348   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2349   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I

  2356   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2357   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2358   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2359   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2360   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:

  2363   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow

  2369   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2370   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2371 
  2372 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2373 
  2374 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2375 and corresponding theorem names:
  2376 
  2377   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2378 
  2379   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2380 
  2381   - Renamed theorems:
  2382 
  2383     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2384     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2385     rel_compE ~> relcompE

  2440 
  2441 * Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2463 
  2464 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2465 
  2466 * Dropped rarely useful theorems concerning fold combinators:

  2472 foldr_conv_foldl, start_le_sum, elem_le_sum, sum_eq_0_conv.
  2473 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
  2474 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
  2475 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
  2476 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".
  2477 
  2478 * Dropped lemmas minus_set_foldr, union_set_foldr, union_coset_foldr,

  2480 Min_fin_set_foldr, Max_fin_set_foldr, Inf_set_foldr, Sup_set_foldr,

  2543 * Theory HOL/Library/Diagonalize has been removed. INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2544 use theory HOL/Library/Nat_Bijection instead.
  2545 
  2546 * Theory HOL/Library/RBT_Impl: Backing implementation of red-black
  2547 trees is now inside a type class context.  Names of affected
  2548 operations and lemmas have been prefixed by rbt_.  INCOMPATIBILITY for
  2549 theories working directly with raw red-black trees, adapt the names as

  2722 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  2723 association lists with distinct keys.
  2724 
  2725 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  2726 annotated commands.
  2727 
  2728 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2729 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  2730 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  2731 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2732 
  2733 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  2734 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  2735 instead.

  2779 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2780 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2781 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2782 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2783 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2784 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2785 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2786 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2787 
  2788 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2789 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2790 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2791 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2792 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2793 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2794 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2795 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2796 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2797 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2798 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2799 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2960 
  2961 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2962 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2963 
  2964 
  2965 *** FOL ***
  2966 
  2967 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2968 
  2969 
  2970 *** ZF ***
  2971 
  2972 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2973 analysis.
  2974 
  2975 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2976 
  2977 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2978 
  2979 
  2980 *** ML ***
  2981 
  2982 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2983 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2984 
  2985 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2986 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2987 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2988 
  2989 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2990 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2991 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2992 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2993 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2994 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2995 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2996 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2997 
  2998 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2999 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3000 
  3001 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3002 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3003 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3004 
  3005 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3006 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3007 
  3008 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3009 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3010 context as well.
  3011 
  3012 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3013 
  3014   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3015   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3016   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3017   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  3018   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  3019   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  3020   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  3021   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  3022   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3023   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3024   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3025   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3026 
  3027 
  3028 *** System ***
  3029 
  3030 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3031 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3032 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3033 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3034 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3035 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3036 the generic user home was intended.
  3037 
  3038 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3039 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3040 
  3041 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3042 (not just JRE).
  3043 
  3044 
  3045 
  3046 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3047 ------------------------------------
  3048 
  3049 *** General ***
  3050 
  3051 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3052 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3053 
  3054   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3055     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3056     files for checking).
  3057 
  3058   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3059     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3060     positions.
  3061 
  3062   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3063     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3064     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3065 
  3066   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3067     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3068     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3069 
  3070   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3071     cores.
  3072 
  3073   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3074     versions (garbage collection).
  3075 
  3076 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3077 including some remaining limitations.
  3078 
  3079 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3080 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3081 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3082 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3083 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3084 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3085 
  3086 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3087 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3088 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3089 
  3090 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3091 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3092 usedir option -Q.
  3093 
  3094 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3095 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3096 
  3097   long_names   ~> names_long
  3098   short_names  ~> names_short
  3099   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3100 
  3101 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3102 
  3103   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3104 
  3105 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3106 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3107 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3108 
  3109 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3110 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3111 
  3112 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3113   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3114   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3115   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3116     "Classical Reasoner".
  3117 
  3118 
  3119 *** HOL ***
  3120 
  3121 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3122 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3123 
  3124 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3125 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3126 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3127 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3128 class complete_linorder.
  3129 
  3130 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3131 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3132 
  3133 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3134 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3135 
  3136   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3137   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3138   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3139   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3140   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3141   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3142   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3143   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3144   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3145   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3146   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3147 
  3148 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3149 
  3150   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3151   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3152   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  3153   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  3154   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  3155   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  3156   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  3157   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  3158   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  3159   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  3160   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  3161   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  3162   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  3163   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3164   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3165   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3166 
  3167 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3168 
  3169 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3170 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3171 
  3172 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3173 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3174 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3175 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3176 
  3177 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3178 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3179 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3180 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3181 
  3182 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3183 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3184 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3185 
  3186 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3187 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3188 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3189 
  3190 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3191 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3192 
  3193 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3194 
  3195     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3196     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3197 
  3198 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3199 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3200 
  3201 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3202 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3203 
  3204 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3205 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3206 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3207 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3302 
  3303 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3304 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3305 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3306 
  3307 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3308 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3309 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3310 
  3311 * Code generation:
  3312 
  3313   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3314     characters in the target language.
  3315 
  3316   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3317     instead.
  3318 
  3319   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3320 
  3321   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3322     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3323 
  3324       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3325 
  3326 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3327 
  3328 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3329 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3330 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3331 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3332 syntax.
  3333 
  3334 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3335 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3336 
  3337 * Nitpick:
  3338   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3339   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3340   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3341     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3342 
  3343 * Sledgehammer:
  3344   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3345   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3346     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3347   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3348     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3349   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3350     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3351   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3352     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3353   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3354     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3355 
  3356 * Metis:
  3357   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3358   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3359     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3360 
  3361 * Command 'try':
  3362   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3363     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3364   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3365     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3366 
  3367 * Quickcheck:
  3368   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3369     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3370   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3371     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3372   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3373     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3374     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3375     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3376   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3377     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3378 
  3379 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3380 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3381 
  3382 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3383 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3384 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3385 
  3386 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3387 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3388 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3389 
  3390 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3391 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3392 
  3393 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3394 arithmetic.
  3395 
  3396 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3397 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3398 and lattice type classes.
  3399 
  3400 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3401 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3402 
  3403 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3404 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3405 
  3406 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3407 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3408 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3409 
  3410   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3411   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3412   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3413   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3414 
  3415 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3416 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3417 constants:
  3418 
  3419   type inat   ~> type enat
  3420   Fin         ~> enat
  3421   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3422   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3423   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3424 
  3425 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3426 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3427 
  3428 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3429 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3430 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3431 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3432 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3433 
  3434 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3435 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3436 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3437 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3438 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3439 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3440 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3441 
  3442   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3443   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3444   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3445   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3446 
  3447 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3448 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3449 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3502 
  3503 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3504   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3505   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3506   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3507   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3508     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3539 *** Document preparation ***
  3540 
  3541 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3542 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3543 same.
  3544 
  3545 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3546 result.
  3547 
  3548 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3549 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3550 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3551 
  3552 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3553 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3554 
  3555 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3556 like this:
  3557 
  3558   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3559   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3560 
  3561 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3562 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3563 layouts.
  3564 
  3565 
  3566 *** ML ***
  3567 
  3568 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3569 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3570 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3571 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3572 under external program control.
  3573 
  3574 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3575 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3576 
  3577 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3578 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3579 (better known as Proof General).
  3580 
  3581 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3582 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3583 
  3584 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3585 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3586 
  3587 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3588 (including quotes etc.).
  3589 
  3590 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3591 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3592 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3593 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3594 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3595 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3596 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3597 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3598 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3599 
  3600 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3601 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3602 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3603 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3604 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3605 
  3606 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3607 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3608 
  3609 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3610 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3611 
  3612 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3613 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3614 
  3615 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3616 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3617 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3618 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3619 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3620 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3621 proper Proof.context.
  3622 
  3623 
  3624 *** System ***
  3625 
  3626 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3627 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3628 
  3629 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3630 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3631 
  3632 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3633 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3634 
  3635   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3636   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3637   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3638   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3639   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3640 
  3641 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3642 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3643 
  3644 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3645 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3646 example:
  3647 
  3648   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3649 
  3650 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3651 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3652 
  3653 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3654 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3655 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3656 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3657 
  3658 
  3659 
  3660 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3661 ----------------------------------
  3662 
  3663 *** General ***
  3664 
  3665 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3666 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3667 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3668 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3669 like this:
  3670 
  3671   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3672 
  3673 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3674 
  3675 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3676 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3677 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3678 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3679 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3680 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3681 
  3682 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3683 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3684 the following package declarations:
  3685 
  3686   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3687   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3688 
  3689 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3690 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3691 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3692 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3693 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3694 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3695 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3696 
  3697 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3698 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3699 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3700 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3701 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3702 
  3703 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3704 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3705 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3706 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3707 
  3708 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3709 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3710 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3711 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3712

  3737 
  3738 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3739 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3740 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3741 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3742 
  3743 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3744 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3745 
  3746   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3747   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3748 
  3749 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3750 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3751 float_token.
  3752 
  3753 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3754 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3755 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3756 
  3757 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3758 DejaVu Sans.
  3759 
  3760 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3761 
  3762 
  3763 *** Pure ***
  3764 
  3765 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3766 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3767 time.
  3768 
  3769 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3770 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3771 
  3772 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3773 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3774 
  3775 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3776 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3777 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3778 command already provided this functionality.
  3779 
  3780 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3781 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3782 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3783 without interpretations.
  3784 
  3785 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3786 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3787 
  3788 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3789 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3790 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3791 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3792 
  3793 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3794 'definition' instead.
  3795 
  3796 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3797 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3798 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3799 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3800 
  3801 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3802 constructors.
  3803 
  3804 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3805 the local file system.
  3806 
  3807 
  3808 *** HOL ***
  3809 
  3810 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3811 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3812 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3813 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3814 
  3815   declare [[coercion f]]
  3816 
  3817 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3818 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3819 
  3820   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3821 
  3822 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3823 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3824 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3825 other theories like this:
  3826 
  3827   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3828 
  3829 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3830 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3831 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3832 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3833 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3834 for examples.
  3835 
  3836 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3837 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3838 
  3839 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3840 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3841 
  3842 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3843 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3844 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3845 
  3846 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3847 functorial structure of types.
  3848 
  3849 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3850 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3851 
  3852 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3853 languages.
  3854 
  3855 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3856 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3857 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3858 
  3859 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3860 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3861 
  3862 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3863 combinators any longer.
  3864 
  3865 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3866 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3867 
  3868 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3869 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3870 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3871 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3872 
  3873   record 'a foo = ...
  3874   ...
  3875   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3876 
  3877 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3878 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3879 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3880 
  3881 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3882 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3883 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3884 
  3885 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3886 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3887 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3888 
  3889 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3890 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3891 
  3892 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3893 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3894 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3895 independently.
  3896 
  3897 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3898 counter example search.
  3899 
  3900 * Sledgehammer:
  3901   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3902     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3903     sledgehammer").
  3904   - Renamed commands:
  3905     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3906     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3907     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3908     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3909   - Renamed options:
  3910     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3911     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3912     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3913     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3914     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3915 
  3916 * Nitpick:
  3917   - Renamed options:
  3918     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3919     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3920     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3921   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3922   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3923   - Added "whack" option.
  3924   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3925   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3926   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3927   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3928     higher cardinalities.
  3929   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3930 
  3931 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3932 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3933 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3934 
  3935     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3936 
  3937 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3938 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3939 
  3940 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3941 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3942 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3943 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3944 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3945 "smt_solver".
  3946 
  3947 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3948 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3949 
  3950 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3951 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3952 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3953 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3954 
  3955 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3956   - Renamed:
  3957     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3958     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3959     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3960   - Added:
  3961     smt_verbose
  3962     smt_random_seed
  3963     smt_datatypes
  3964     smt_infer_triggers
  3965     smt_monomorph_limit
  3966     cvc3_options
  3967     remote_cvc3_options
  3968     remote_z3_options
  3969     yices_options
  3970 
  3971 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3972 header.
  3973 
  3974 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3975 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3976 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3977 
  3978   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3979 
  3980 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3981 
  3982 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3983 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3984 
  3985 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3986 
  3987 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3988 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3989 
  3990 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3991 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3992 
  3993 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3994 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3995 
  3996 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3997 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3998 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3999 
  4000 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4001 
  4002 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4003 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4004 
  4005 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4006 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4007 
  4008 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4009 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4010 for congruent(2)).
  4011 
  4012 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4013 
  4014   types
  4015     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4016     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4017 
  4018   constants

  4020     True ~> HOL.True
  4021     False ~> HOL.False
  4022     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4023     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4024     op --> ~> HOL.implies

  4035     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  4036     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  4037     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  4038     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  4039     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4040     op : ~> Set.member
  4041     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4042 
  4043 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4044 
  4045 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4046 
  4047     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4048     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4049     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4050     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4051     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4052     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4053     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4054     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4055 
  4056 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4057 
  4058 * More stylized fact names:
  4059 
  4060   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4061   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4062   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4063   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4064 
  4065 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4066 
  4067 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4068 
  4069   constants
  4070     null ~> List.null
  4071 
  4072   facts
  4073     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4074     null_empty ~> null_def
  4075 
  4076 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4077 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4078 generation.
  4079 
  4080 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4081 Haskell code.
  4082 
  4083 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4084 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4085 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4086 
  4087 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4088 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4089 
  4090 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4091 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4092 
  4093 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4094 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4095 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4096 
  4097 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4098 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4099 
  4100 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4101 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4102 
  4103 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4104 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4105 referred to by its qualified name.
  4106 
  4107   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4108   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4109   product ~>  Enum.product
  4110 
  4111 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4112 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4113 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4114 
  4115 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4116 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4117 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4119 
  4120 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4121 sort_key.
  4122 
  4123 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4124 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4125 
  4126 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4127 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4128 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4129 
  4130   types
  4131     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4132               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4133               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4134         (depends on your needs)
  4135 
  4136   constants
  4137      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4138      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4139      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4140 
  4141 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4142 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4143 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4144 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4145 
  4146 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4147 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4148 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4149 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4150 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4151 
  4152 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4153 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4154 
  4155 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4156 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4157 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4158 
  4159 
  4160 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4161 
  4162 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4163 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4164 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4165 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4166 compatibility.
  4167 
  4168 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4169 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4170 
  4171 
  4172 *** HOLCF ***
  4173 
  4174 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4175 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4176 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4177 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4178 
  4179 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4180 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4181 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4182 
  4183   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4184   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4185   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4186 
  4187 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4188 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4189 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4190 
  4191 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4192 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4193 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4194 domain definition now works:
  4195 
  4196   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4197 
  4198 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4199 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4200 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4201 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4202 
  4203   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4204     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4205 
  4206   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4207 
  4208 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4209 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4210 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4211 
  4212 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4213 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4214 
  4215 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4216 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4217 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4218 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4219 
  4220 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4221 
  4222 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4223 
  4224 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4225 
  4226 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4227 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4228 
  4229 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4230 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4231 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4232 
  4233 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4234 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4235 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4236 
  4237 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4238 still supported as an input translation.
  4239 
  4240 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4241 
  4242   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4243   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4244   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4245   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4246   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4247   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4248   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4249 
  4250 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4251 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4252 
  4253   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4254   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4255   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4256   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4257   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4258   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4259 
  4260 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4261 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4262 
  4263 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4264 
  4265   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4266   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4267   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4268   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4269 
  4270 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4271 
  4272 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4273 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4274 
  4275 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4276 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4346 
  4347 
  4348 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4349 
  4350 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4351 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4352 
  4353 
  4354 *** ML ***
  4355 
  4356 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4357 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4358 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4359 
  4360 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4361 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4362 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4363 
  4364 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4365 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4366 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4367 
  4368 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4369 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4370 
  4371 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4372 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4373 
  4374 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4375 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4376 
  4377 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4378 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4379 
  4380 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4381 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4382 almost all situations.
  4383 
  4384 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4385 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4386 Isabelle/ML.
  4387 
  4388 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4389 meaning.
  4390 
  4391 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4392 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4393 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4394 
  4395 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4396 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4397 
  4398 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4399 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4400 
  4401 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4402 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4403 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4404 
  4405 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4406 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4407 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4408 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4409 configuration options.
  4410 
  4411 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4412 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4413 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4414 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4415 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4416 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4417 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  4418 
  4419 
  4420 
  4421 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4422 ---------------------------------
  4423 
  4424 *** General ***
  4425 
  4426 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4427 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4428 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4429 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4430 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4431 their full internal name.
  4432 
  4433 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4434 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4435 Some hints on upgrading:
  4436 
  4437   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4438     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4439     which are independent of this issue.
  4440 
  4441   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4442     provides the following special forms:
  4443 
  4444       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4445       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4446       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4447 
  4448     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4449     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4450     extra variables".
  4451 
  4452     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4453     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4454     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4455     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4456     "logic".
  4457 
  4458   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4459     antiquotations:
  4460 
  4461       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4462       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4463       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4464       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4465 
  4466   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4467     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4468     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4469     antiquotations.
  4470 
  4471 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4472 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4473 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4474 diagnose syntax problems.
  4475 
  4476 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4477 
  4478 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4479 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4480 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4481 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4482 
  4483 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4484 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4485 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4486 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4487 
  4488 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4489 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4490 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4491 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4492 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4493 
  4494 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4495 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4496 
  4497 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4498 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4499 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4500 
  4501   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4502 
  4503 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4504 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4505 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4506 
  4507 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4508 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4509 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4510 
  4511 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4512 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4513 
  4514 
  4515 *** Pure ***
  4516 
  4517 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4518 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4519 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4520 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4521 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4522 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4523 inspect proof terms.
  4524 
  4525 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4526 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4527 are added internally.  For example:
  4528 
  4529   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4530 
  4531 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4532 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4533 
  4534 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4535 
  4536 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4537 'class' instead.
  4538 
  4539 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4540 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4541 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4542 
  4543 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4544 invariants.
  4545 
  4546 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4547 user space functionality any longer.
  4548 
  4549 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4550 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4551 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4552 
  4553 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4554 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4555 
  4556 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4557 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4558 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4559 
  4560 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4561 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4562 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4563 
  4564 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4565 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4566 
  4567 
  4568 *** HOL ***
  4569 
  4570 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4571 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4572 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4573 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4574 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4575 
  4576 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4577 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4578 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4579 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4580 
  4581   fun
  4582     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4583   where
  4584     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4585 
  4586   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4587     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4588 
  4589   quotient_definition
  4590     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4591 
  4592 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4593 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4594 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4595 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4596 
  4597 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4598 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4599 
  4600 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4601 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4602 
  4603 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4604 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4605 
  4606 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4607 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4608 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4609 
  4610 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4611 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4612 
  4613 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4614 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4615 
  4616 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4617 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4618 
  4619 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4620 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4621 
  4622 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4623 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4624 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4657 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4658 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4659 
  4660 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4661 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4662 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4663 
  4664 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4665 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4666 
  4667 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4668 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4669 
  4670 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4671 
  4672 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4673 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4674 
  4675 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4676 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4677 
  4678 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4679 
  4680 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4681 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4682 
  4683 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4684 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4685 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4686 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4687 
  4688 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4689   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4690   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4691   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4692 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4693 
  4694 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4695 lattices):
  4696 
  4697     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4733     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4734 
  4735   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4736   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4737 
  4738     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4739     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4740     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4741     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4742     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4743 
  4744 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4745 
  4746 * Refined field classes:
  4747   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4748     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4749     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4750   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4752 
  4753 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4754   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4755   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4756   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4757     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4758   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4759     equal_neg_zero.
  4760 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4761 
  4762 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4763 sets to lattices:
  4764 
  4765   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4766   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4767   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  4768   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  4769   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf

  4773   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4774   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4775 
  4776 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4777 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4778 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4779 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4780 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4781 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4782 
  4783 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4784 multiset order:
  4785 
  4786   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4787     <= and <;
  4788   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4789     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4790     multiset_order;
  4791   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4792     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4793     generation;
  4794   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4795     if needed.
  4796 
  4797 Renamed:
  4798 
  4799   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4800   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4801   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4802 
  4803 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4804 
  4805 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4806 
  4807 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4808 
  4809 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4810 
  4811 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4812 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4813 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4844 
  4845 * Sledgehammer:
  4846   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4847     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4848     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4849     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4850     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4851     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4852     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4853   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4854   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4855     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4856   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4857     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4858     is still experimental.)
  4859   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4860     full-typed mode.
  4861   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4862 
  4863 * Nitpick:
  4864   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4865   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4866   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4867     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4868   - Added support for quotient types.
  4869   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4870     constructs.
  4871   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4872     "termination" proofs).
  4873   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4874   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4875   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4876   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4877     record getters.
  4878   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4879   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4880   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4881   - Added "atoms" option.
  4882   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4883     problems.
  4884   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4885     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4886     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4887   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4888     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4889   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4890 
  4891 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4892   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4893   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4894   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4895   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4896   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4897   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4898   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4899   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4900   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4901 
  4902 
  4903 *** HOLCF ***
  4904 
  4905 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4906 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4907 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4908 
  4909 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4910 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4911 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4912 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4913 
  4914 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4915 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4916 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4917 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4918 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4919 
  4920 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4921 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4922 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4923 
  4924 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4925 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4926 
  4927   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4928   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4929 
  4930 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4931 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4933   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4934   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4935   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4936   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4937   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4938 
  4939 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4940 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4941 
  4942   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4943   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4944   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4945 
  4946 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4947 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4948 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4949 
  4950 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4951 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4952 
  4953 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4954 
  4955 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4956 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4957 
  4958 
  4959 *** ML ***
  4960 
  4961 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4962 
  4963     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4964     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4965 
  4966     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4967     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4968     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4969     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4970 
  4971     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4972     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4973     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4974 
  4975 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4976 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4977 
  4978 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4979 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4980 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4981 
  4982 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4983 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4984 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4985 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4986 
  4987 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4988 the context or even global references.
  4989 
  4990 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4991 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4992 
  4993 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4994 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4995 
  4996   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4997   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4998   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4999   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5000   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5001   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5002   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5003   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5004   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5005   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5006 
  5007 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5008 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5009 
  5010 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5011 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5012 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5013 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5014 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5015 
  5016 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5017 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5018 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5019 Theory_Data version.
  5020 
  5021 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5022 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5023 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5024 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5025 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5026 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5027 explicitly in rare situations.
  5028 
  5029 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5030 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5031 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5032 
  5033 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5034 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5035 
  5036 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5037 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5038 quite rare).
  5039 
  5040 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5041 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5042 
  5043 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5044 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5045 terms.
  5046 
  5047 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5048 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5049 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5050 
  5051 
  5052 *** System ***
  5053 
  5054 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5055 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5056 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5057 
  5058 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5059 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5060 respectively.
  5061 
  5062 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5063 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5064 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5065 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5066 
  5067   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5068 
  5069 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5070 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5071 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5072 component.
  5073 
  5074 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5075 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5076 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5077 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5078 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5079 the user for manual installation.
  5080 
  5081 
  5082 
  5083 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5084 -------------------------------------
  5085 
  5086 *** General ***
  5087 
  5088 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5089 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5090 
  5091 
  5092 *** Pure ***
  5093 
  5094 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5095 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5096 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5097 
  5098 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5099 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5100 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5101 
  5102 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5103 interpretation.
  5104 
  5105 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5106 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5107 
  5108 
  5109 *** Document preparation ***
  5110 
  5111 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5112 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5113 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5114 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5115 
  5116 
  5117 *** HOL ***
  5118 
  5119 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5120 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5121 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5122 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5123 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5124 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5125 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5126 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5127 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5128 
  5129 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5130 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5131 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5132 
  5133 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5134 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5135 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5136 
  5137 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5138 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5139 
  5140 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5141 
  5142 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5143 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5144 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5145 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5146 
  5147 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5148 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5149 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5150 "mirabelle" utility.
  5151 
  5152 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5153 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5154 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5155 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5156 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5157 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5158 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5159 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5160 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5161 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5162 
  5163 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5164 procedure only.
  5165 
  5166 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5167 
  5168 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5169 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5170 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5171 that fail later.
  5172 
  5173 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5174 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5175 
  5176 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5177 the same method as the approximation method.
  5178 
  5179 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5180 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5181 series expansion.
  5182 
  5183 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5184 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5185 
  5186 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5187 reals.
  5188 
  5189 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5190 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5191 
  5192 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5193 fixpoint theorem.
  5194 
  5195 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5196   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5197     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5198   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5199     accordingly
  5200   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5201     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5202   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5203     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5204 
  5205 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5206 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5207 lattice.
  5208 
  5209 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5210 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5211 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5212 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5213 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5214 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5215 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5216 
  5217 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5218   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5219     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5220   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5221     le_inf_iff
  5222   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5223     sup_aci)
  5224   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5225   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5226   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5227     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5228     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5229     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5230     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5231     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5232     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5233     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5234     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5235     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5236     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5237   - authentic syntax for
  5238     Set.Pow
  5239     Set.image
  5240   - mere abbreviations:
  5241     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5242     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5243     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5244     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5245     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5246     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5247     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5248     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5249   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5250 
  5251 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5252 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5253 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5254 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5255 
  5256 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5257 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5258 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5259 
  5260 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5261 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5262 
  5263 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5264 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5265 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5266 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5267 
  5268 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5269 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5270 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5271 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5272 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5273 
  5274 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5275 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5276 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5277 
  5278 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5279 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5280 
  5281 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5282 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5283 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5284 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5285 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5286 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5287 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5288 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5289 
  5290 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5291     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5292     code_post       replaces    code post
  5293     etc.
  5294   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5295 
  5296 * Renamed methods:
  5297     sizechange -> size_change
  5298     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5299   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5300 
  5301 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5302 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5303 
  5304 * Renamed theorems:
  5305     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5306     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5307     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5308     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5309     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5310   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5311 
  5312 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5313 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5314 
  5315 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5316 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5317 
  5318 
  5319 *** HOLCF ***
  5320 
  5321 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5322 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5323 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5324 
  5325 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5326 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5327 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5328 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5329 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5330 
  5331 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5332 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5333 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5334 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5335 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5336 
  5337 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5338 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5339 constructor are pre-configured.
  5340 
  5341 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5342 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5343 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5344 
  5345 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5346 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5347 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5348 as well.)
  5349 
  5350 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5351 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5352 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5353 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5354 examples.
  5355 
  5356 
  5357 *** ML ***
  5358 
  5359 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5360 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5361 
  5362 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5363 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5364 position, logical grouping etc.
  5365 
  5366 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5367 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5368 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5369 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5370 
  5371 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5372 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5373 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5374 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5375 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5376 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5377 
  5378 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5379 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5380 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5381 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5382 experiments with references.
  5383 
  5384 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5385 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5386 
  5387 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5388 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5389 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5390 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5391 
  5392 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5393 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5394 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5395 
  5396 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5397 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5398 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5399 
  5400 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5401 
  5402 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5403 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5404 
  5405 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5406 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5407 
  5408 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5409 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5410 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5411 
  5412 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5413 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5414 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5415 
  5416 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5417 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5418 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5419 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5420 
  5421 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5422 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5423 instead of global theory.
  5424 
  5425 
  5426 *** System ***
  5427 
  5428 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5429 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5430 usedir option -q.
  5431 
  5432 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5433 also the system manual.
  5434 
  5435 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5436 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5437 
  5438 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5439 this is always enabled.
  5440 
  5441 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5442 
  5443 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5444 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5445 currently supported on Linux only.
  5446 
  5447 
  5448 
  5449 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5450 --------------------------------
  5451 
  5452 *** General ***
  5453 
  5454 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5455 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5456 
  5457   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5458     "isatool."
  5459 
  5460   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5461     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5462 
  5463   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5464     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5465 
  5466 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5467 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5468 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5469 
  5470 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5471 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5472 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5473 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5474 via "isabelle emacs".
  5475 
  5476 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5477 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5478 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5479 
  5480 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5481 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5482 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5483 
  5484 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5485 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5486 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5487 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5488 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5489 
  5490 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5491 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5492 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5493 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5494 
  5495 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5496 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5497 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5498 
  5499 
  5500 *** Pure ***
  5501 
  5502 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5503 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5504 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5505 
  5506 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5507 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5508 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5509 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5510 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5511 
  5512 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5513 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5514 useful in locale declarations.
  5515 
  5516 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5517 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5518 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5519 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5520 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5521 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5522 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5523 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5524 no longer generated.
  5525 
  5526 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5527 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5528 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5529 
  5530 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5531 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5532 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5533 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5534 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5535 
  5536 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5537 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5538 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5539 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5540 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5541 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5542 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5543 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5544 
  5545 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5546 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5547 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5548 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5549 
  5550 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5551 
  5552 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5553 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5554 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5555 
  5556 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5557 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5558 
  5559 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5560 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5561 in HOL, write
  5562 
  5563     class foo = ...
  5564 
  5565 instead of
  5566 
  5567     class foo = type + ...
  5568 
  5569 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5570 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5571 
  5572 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5573 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5574 
  5575 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5576 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5577 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5578 
  5579 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5580 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5581 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5582 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5583 directly in regular applications.
  5584 
  5585 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5586 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5587 
  5588 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5589 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5590 
  5591 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5592 theory context.
  5593 
  5594 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5595 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5596 
  5597 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5598 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5599 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5600 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5601 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5602 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5603 
  5604   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5605 
  5606 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5607 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5608 normalization.
  5609 
  5610 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5611 addressing etc.
  5612 
  5613 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5614 
  5615   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5616   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5617 
  5618 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5619 
  5620   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5621      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5622      parts of the code generator framework).
  5623 
  5624   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5625      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5626      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5627 
  5628 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5629 
  5630 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5631 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5632 
  5633 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5634 patterns, e.g.
  5635 
  5636     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5637 
  5638 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5639 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5640 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5641 hyphen:
  5642 
  5643     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5644 
  5645 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5646 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5647 
  5648 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5649 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5650 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5651 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5652 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5653 higher-order unification.
  5654 
  5655 
  5656 *** Document preparation ***
  5657 
  5658 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5659 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5660 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5661 
  5662 
  5663 *** HOL ***
  5664 
  5665 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5666 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5667 
  5668 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5669 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5670 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5671 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5672 Main, as before.
  5673 
  5674 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5675 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5676 
  5677 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5678 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5679 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5680 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5681 
  5682 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5683 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5684 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5685 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5686 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5687 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5688 
  5689 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5690 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5691 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5692 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5693 
  5694 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5695 menu.
  5696 
  5697 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5698 (contains the empty clause).
  5699 
  5700 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5701 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5702 
  5703 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5704 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5705 
  5706 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5707 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5708 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5709 
  5710 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5711 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5712 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5713 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5714 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5715 
  5716 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5717 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5718 
  5719 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5720 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5721 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5722 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5723 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5724 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5725 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5726 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5727 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5728 
  5729 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5730 
  5731 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5732 
  5733 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5734 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5735 
  5736 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5737 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5738 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5739 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5740 
  5741 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5742 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5743 
  5744     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5745     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5746     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5747     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5748     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5749     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5750     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5751     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5752 
  5753 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5754 theory Set.
  5755 
  5756 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5757 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5758 
  5759 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5760 
  5761 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5762 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5763 
  5764 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5765 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5766 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5767 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5768 allowed. For examples see
  5769 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5770 
  5771 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5772 
  5773 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5774 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5775 
  5776 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5777 structure:

  5831 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5832 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5833 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5834 
  5835 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5836 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5837 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5838 
  5839 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5840 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5841 
  5842 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5843 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5844 
  5845 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5846 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5847 proofs, e.g.
  5848 
  5849   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5850 
  5851 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5852 
  5853 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5854 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5855 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5856 
  5857 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5858 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5859 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5860 
  5861 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5862 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5863 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5864 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5865 
  5866 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5867 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5868 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5869 preorder_class.*.
  5870 
  5871 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5872 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5873 
  5874 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5875 
  5876   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5877 
  5878 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5879 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5880 fold_image.
  5881 
  5882 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5883 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5884 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5885 the former will disappear at some point.
  5886 
  5887 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5888 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5889 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5890 
  5891 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5892 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5893 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5894 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5895 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5896 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5897 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5898 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5899 
  5900 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5901 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5902 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5903 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5904 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5905 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5906 
  5907     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  5908     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  5909     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  5910     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  5911     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  5912     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  5913     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5914 
  5915 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5916 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5917 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5918 
  5919 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5920 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  5921 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  5922 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  5923 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  5924 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  5925 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  5926 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  5927 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  5928 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  5929 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  5930 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  5931 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  5932 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  5933 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  5934 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  5935 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  5936 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  5937 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  5938 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  5939 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  5940 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  5941 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  5942 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  5943 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  5944 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  5945 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5946 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  5947 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  5948 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  5949 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  5950 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  5951 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  5952 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  5953 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  5954 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  5955 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  5956 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  5957 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  5958 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  5959 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  5960 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  5961 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  5962 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  5963 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5964 
  5965 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5966 
  5967 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5968 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5969 
  5970 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5971 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5972 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5973 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5974 
  5975 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5976 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5977 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5978 theory RealVector.
  5979 
  5980 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5981 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5982 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5983 and inner products are included.
  5984 
  5985 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5986 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5987 supported.
  5988 
  5989 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5990 first diagonalization argument.
  5991 
  5992 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5993 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5994 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5995 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5996 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5997 
  5998     hide (open) const gcd
  5999     abbreviation gcd where
  6000       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6001     notation (output)
  6002       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6003 
  6004 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6005 
  6006 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6007 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6008 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6009 
  6010 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6011 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6012 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6013 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6014 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6015 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6016 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6017 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6018 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6019 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6020 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6021 cases.
  6022 
  6023 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6024 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6025 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6026 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6027 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6028 
  6029     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6030     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6031     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6032     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6033     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6034 
  6035 
  6036 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6037 
  6038 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6039 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6040 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6041 
  6042 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6043 
  6044 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6045 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6046 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6047 
  6048 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6049 
  6050 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6051 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6052 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6053 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6054 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6055 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6056 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6057 
  6058 
  6059 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6060 
  6061 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6062 
  6063 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6064 theory targets.
  6065 
  6066 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6067 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6068 'inductive' etc.
  6069 
  6070 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6071 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6072 
  6073 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6074 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6075 
  6076 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6077 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6078 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6079 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6080 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6081 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6082 the algorithm W:
  6083 
  6084  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6085  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6086          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6087 
  6088 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6089 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6090 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6091 
  6092 
  6093 *** HOLCF ***
  6094 
  6095 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6096 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6097 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6098 
  6099 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6100 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6101 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6102 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6103 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6104 
  6105 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6106 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6107 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6108 
  6109 
  6110 *** ZF ***
  6111 
  6112 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6113 
  6114 
  6115 *** ML ***
  6116 
  6117 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6118 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6119 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6120 5.2.1!
  6121 
  6122 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6123 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6124 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6125 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6126 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6127 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6128 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6129 
  6130 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6131 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6132 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6133 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6134 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6135 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6136 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6137 
  6138 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6139 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6140 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6141 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6142 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6143 
  6144 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6145 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6146 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6147 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6148 Method.add_method.
  6149 
  6150 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6151 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6152 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6153 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6154 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6155 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6156 
  6157 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6158 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6159 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6160 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6161 examples.
  6162 
  6163 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6164 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6165 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6166 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6167 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6168 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6169 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6170 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6171 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6172 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6173 
  6174 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6175 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6176 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6177 
  6178 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6179 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6180 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6181 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6182 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6183 resort for legacy applications.
  6184 
  6185 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6186 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6187 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6188 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6189 explicit runtime argument.
  6190 
  6191 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6192 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6193 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6194 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6195 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6196 
  6197 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6198 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6199 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6200 theory state.
  6201 
  6202 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6203 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6204 
  6205   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6206   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6207   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6208   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6209   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6210   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6211   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6212   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6213   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6214   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6215 
  6216 
  6217 *** System ***
  6218 
  6219 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6220 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6221 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6222 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6223 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6224 
  6225 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6226 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6227 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6228 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6229 
  6230 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6231 
  6232 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6233 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6234 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6235 prover operations.
  6236 
  6237 
  6238 
  6239 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6240 -------------------------------
  6241 
  6242 *** General ***
  6243 
  6244 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6245 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6246 
  6247 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6248 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6249 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6250 provides a proper context already.
  6251 
  6252 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6253 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6254 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6255 
  6256 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6257 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6258 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6259 swap theory imports.
  6260 
  6261 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6262 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6263 
  6264 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6265 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6266 white space without escapes.
  6267 
  6268 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6269 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6270 "foo_bar".
  6271 
  6272 
  6273 *** Pure ***
  6274 
  6275 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6276 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6277 
  6278 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6279 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6280 
  6281 (1) unused_thms
  6282      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6283 
  6284 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6285      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6286      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6287 
  6288 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6289      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6290      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6291      their ancestors.
  6292 
  6293 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6294 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6295 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6296 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6297 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6298 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6299 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6300 
  6301 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6302 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6303 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6304 
  6305 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6306 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6307 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6308 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6309 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6310 
  6311 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6312 
  6313 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6314 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6315 update of theories within ML code.
  6316 
  6317 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6318 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6319 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6320 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6321 
  6322 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6323 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6324 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6325 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6326 
  6327 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6328 
  6329 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6330 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6331 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6332 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6333 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6334 
  6335 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6336 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6337 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6338 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6339 situations.
  6340 
  6341 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6342 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6343 proof text.
  6344 
  6345 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6346 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6347 
  6348 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6349 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6350 predicates.
  6351 
  6352 
  6353 *** Document preparation ***
  6354 
  6355 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6356 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6357 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6358 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6359 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6360 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6361 
  6362 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6363 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6364 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6365 
  6366 
  6367 *** HOL ***
  6368 
  6369 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6370 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6371 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6372 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6373 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6374 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6375 
  6376 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6377 with multithreading.
  6378 
  6379 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6380 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6381 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6382 
  6383 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6384 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6385 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6386 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6387 
  6388 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6389 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6390 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6391 and makes them available separately.  See
  6392 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6393 
  6394 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6395 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6396 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6397 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6398 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6399 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6400 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6401 the declared rules.
  6402 
  6403 This setup also deals with rules like
  6404 
  6405   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6406 
  6407 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6408 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6409 
  6410 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6411 
  6412   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6413 
  6414   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6415     definitions on => and bool.
  6416 
  6417   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6418     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6419     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6420 
  6421       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6422       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6423       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6424       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6425       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6426       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6427       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6428       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6429 
  6430   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6431     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6432     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6433 
  6434   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6435     The proof pattern
  6436 
  6437       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6438       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6439 
  6440     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6441     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6442 
  6443       have "EX S. P S"
  6444       proof
  6445         show "P S" <...>
  6446       qed
  6447 
  6448   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6449     The proof pattern
  6450 
  6451       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6452       also have "S = T" <...>
  6453       finally have "P T" .
  6454 
  6455     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6456     must be replaced by something like
  6457 
  6458       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6459       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6460       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6461 
  6462   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6463     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6464 
  6465       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6466 
  6467     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6468     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6469     type of the form
  6470 
  6471       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6472 
  6473     rather than
  6474 
  6475       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6476 
  6477 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6478 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6479 
  6480 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6481 
  6482 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6483 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6484 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6485 
  6486 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6487 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6488 
  6489 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6490 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6491 
  6492 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6493 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6494 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6495 
  6496 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6497 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6498 
  6499   less_trans
  6500   less_linear
  6501   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6502   le_less_trans
  6503   less_le_trans
  6504   less_not_sym
  6505   less_asym
  6506 
  6507 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6508 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6509 and different variable names.
  6510 
  6511 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6512 
  6513 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6514 finite maps.
  6515 
  6516 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6517 
  6518 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6519 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6520 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6521 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6522 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6523 accordingly.
  6524 
  6525 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6526 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6527 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6528 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6529 
  6530 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6531 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6532 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6533 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6534 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6535 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6536 
  6537 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6538 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6539 
  6540 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6541 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6542 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6543 
  6544 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6545 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6546 
  6547 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6548 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6549 
  6550 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6551 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6552 
  6553 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6554 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6555 
  6556 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6557 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6558 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6559 
  6560 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6561 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6562 
  6563 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6564 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6565 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6566 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6567 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6568 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6569 
  6570 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6571 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6572 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6573 
  6574 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6575 
  6576 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6577 
  6578 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6579 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6580 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6581 
  6582 
  6583 *** ZF ***
  6584 
  6585 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6586 same session:
  6587 
  6588   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6589   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6590   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6591   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6592   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6593   List      -> List_ZF
  6594   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6595 
  6596 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6597 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6598 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6599 
  6600 
  6601 *** ML ***
  6602 
  6603 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6604 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6605 
  6606 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6607 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6608 
  6609 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6610 
  6611 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6612 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6613 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6614 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6615 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6616 
  6617 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6618 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6619 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6620 
  6621 
  6622 *** System ***
  6623 
  6624 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6625 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6626 
  6627 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6628 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6629 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6630 
  6631 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6632 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6633 
  6634 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6635 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6636 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6637 
  6638 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6639 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6640 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6641 
  6642 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6643 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6644 
  6645 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6646 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6647 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6648 script.
  6649 
  6650 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6651 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6652 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6653 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6654 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6655 
  6656 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6657 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6658 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6659 
  6660 
  6661 
  6662 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6663 -----------------------------------
  6664 
  6665 *** General ***
  6666 
  6667 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6668 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6669 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6670 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6671 
  6672 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6673 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6674 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6675 
  6676 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6677 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6678 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6679 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6680 
  6681 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6682 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6683 quotes.
  6684 
  6685 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6686 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6687 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6688 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6689 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6690 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6691 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6692 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6693 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6694 
  6695 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6696 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6697 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6698 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6699 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6700 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6701 
  6702 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6703 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6704 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6705 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6706 
  6707 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6708 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6709 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6710 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6711 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6712 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6713 
  6714 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6715 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6716 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6717 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6718 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6719 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6720 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6721 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6722 
  6723 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6724 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6725 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6726 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6727 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6728 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6729 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6730 
  6731 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6732 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6733 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6734 
  6735 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6736 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6737 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6738 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6739 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6740 limit is imposed.
  6741 
  6742 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6743 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6744 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6745 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6746 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6747 and scalability.
  6748 
  6749 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6750 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6751 
  6752 
  6753 *** Document preparation ***
  6754 
  6755 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6756 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6757 current context.
  6758 
  6759 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6760 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6761 
  6762 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6763 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6764 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6765 
  6766 
  6767 *** Pure ***
  6768 
  6769 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6770 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6771 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6772 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6773 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6774 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6775 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6776 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6777 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6778 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6779 
  6780 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6781 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6782 sketch:
  6783 
  6784     internal compilation:
  6785         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6786     writing SML code to a file:
  6787         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6788     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6789         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6790     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6791         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6792 
  6793     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6794         method ``eval''
  6795 
  6796 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6797 
  6798 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6799 
  6800     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6801     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6802     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6803     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6804 
  6805 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6806 
  6807     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6808       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6809 
  6810     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6811       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6812 
  6813     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6814       {(target)}+
  6815         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6816 
  6817     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6818       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6819         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6820 
  6821 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6822 
  6823 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6824 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6825 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6826 codegen".
  6827 
  6828 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6829 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6830 annotations).
  6831 
  6832 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6833 syntax.
  6834 
  6835 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6836 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6837 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6838 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6839 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6840 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6841 
  6842 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6843 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6844 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6845 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6846 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6847 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6848 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6849 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6850 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6851 equations, see section "definitions".
  6852 
  6853 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6854 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6855 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6856 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6857 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6858 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6859 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6860 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6861 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6862 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6863 
  6864 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6865 configuration options:
  6866 
  6867   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6868   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6869   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6870   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6871   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6872   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6873   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6874   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6875   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6876 
  6877 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6878 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6879 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6880 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6881 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6882 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6883 order.
  6884 
  6885 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6886 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6887 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6888 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6889 context encountered later on.
  6890 
  6891 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6892 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6893 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6894 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6895 
  6896 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6897 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6898 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6899 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6900 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6901 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6902 
  6903 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6904 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  6905 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  6906 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  6907 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  6908 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  6909 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  6910 more permissive.
  6911 
  6912 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  6913 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  6914 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  6915 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  6916 maintainability of proof texts.
  6917 
  6918 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  6919 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6920 
  6921   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6922   then guess x and y by clarify
  6923 
  6924 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6925 proof tools being involved here.
  6926 
  6927 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6928 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6929 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6930 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6931 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6932 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6933 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6934 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6935 
  6936 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6937 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6938 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6939 
  6940   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6941   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6942   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6943   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6944 
  6945 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6946 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6947 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6948 
  6949 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6950 both named and unnamed ones.
  6951 
  6952 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6953 
  6954   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6955 
  6956 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6957 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6958 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6959 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6960 
  6961 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6962 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6963 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6964 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6965 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6966 
  6967 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6968 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6969 
  6970 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6971 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6972 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6973 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6974 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6975 originally first one.
  6976 
  6977 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6978 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6979 expected.
  6980 
  6981 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6982 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6983 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6984 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6985 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6986 
  6987   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6988     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6989     obtains x where "P x"
  6990 
  6991   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6992     assumes "A & B"
  6993     obtains A and B
  6994 
  6995   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6996     assumes "A | B"
  6997     obtains
  6998       A
  6999     | B
  7000 
  7001 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7002 explicitly:
  7003 
  7004   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7005     obtains "~ thesis"
  7006 
  7007   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7008     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7009 
  7010 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7011 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7012 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7013 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7014 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7015 case_names).
  7016 
  7017 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7018 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7019 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7020 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7021 
  7022 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7023 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7024 top-level lemma.
  7025 
  7026 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7027 introduction rule (default "that").
  7028 
  7029 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7030 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7031 to occur.
  7032 
  7033 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7034 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7035 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7036 representations independently of name spaces.
  7037 
  7038 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7039 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7040 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7041 
  7042 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7043 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7044 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7045 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7046 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7047 current context.
  7048 
  7049 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7050 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7051 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7052 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7053 
  7054   axiomatization
  7055     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7056     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7057 
  7058   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7059   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7060 
  7061   abbreviation
  7062     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7063     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7064 
  7065 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7066 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7067 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7068 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7069 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7070 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7071 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7072 
  7073 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7074 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7075 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7076 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7077 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7078 
  7079 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7080 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7081 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7082 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7083 
  7084 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7085 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7086 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7087 
  7088   definition "K x _ = x"
  7089 
  7090   inductive conj for A B
  7091   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7092 
  7093 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7094 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7095 abbreviations on output.
  7096 
  7097 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7098 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7099 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7100 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7101 
  7102 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7103 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7104 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7105 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7106 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7107 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7108 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7109 
  7110 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7111 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7112 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7113 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7114 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7115 
  7116 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7117 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7118 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7119 
  7120 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7121 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7122 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7123 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7124 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7125 
  7126   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7127     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7128 
  7129 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7130 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7131 partial_order.
  7132 
  7133 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7134 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7135 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7136 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7137 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7138 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7139 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7140 examples.
  7141 
  7142 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7143 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7144 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7145 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7146 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7147 
  7148 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7149 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7150 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7151 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7152 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7153 
  7154   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7155   (induct set: foo bar)
  7156   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7157   (induct type: foo bar)
  7158 
  7159 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7160 new format.
  7161 
  7162 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7163 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7164 
  7165 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7166 considered a legacy feature.
  7167 
  7168 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7169 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7170 
  7171 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7172 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7173 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7174 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7175 
  7176 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7177 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7178 manipulating the claset.
  7179 
  7180 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7181 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7182 least one premise.
  7183 
  7184 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7185 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7186 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7187 rule steps.
  7188 
  7189 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7190 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7191 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7192 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7193 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7194 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7195 
  7196 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7197 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7198 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7199 
  7200 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7201 the graph browser tool.
  7202 
  7203 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7204 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7205 
  7206 
  7207 *** HOL ***
  7208 
  7209 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7210 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7211 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7212 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7213 multi-threading.
  7214 
  7215 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7216 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7217 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7218 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7219 work with multi-threading.
  7220 
  7221 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7222 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7223 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7224 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7225 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7226 
  7227 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7228 
  7229 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7230 equality.
  7231 
  7232 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7233 the new 'class' package:
  7234 
  7235     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7236     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7237     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7238     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7239     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7240     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7241     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7242     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7243     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7244     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7245     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7246     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7247     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7248     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7249     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7250     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7251     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7252     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7253     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7254     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7255 
  7256 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7257 
  7258 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7259 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7260 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7261 names.
  7262 
  7263 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7264 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7265 
  7266 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7267 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7268 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7269 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7270 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7271 
  7272 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7273 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7274 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7275 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7276 
  7277 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7278 
  7279 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7280 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7281 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7282 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7283 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7284 
  7285 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7286 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7287 
  7288 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7289 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7290 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7291 
  7292 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7293 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7294 
  7295 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7296 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7297 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7298 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7299 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7300 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7301 in the current context.
  7302 
  7303 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7304 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7305 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7306 
  7307 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7308 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7309 
  7310 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7311 
  7312     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7313     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7314 
  7315     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7316       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7317     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7318     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7319 
  7320     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7321     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7322 
  7323   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7425 
  7426 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7427 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7428 
  7429 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7430 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7431 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7432 "*.size".
  7433 
  7434 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7435 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7436 
  7437 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7438 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7439 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7440 
  7441 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7442 
  7443 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7444 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7445 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7446 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7447 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7448 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7449 numerals on all operations.
  7450 
  7451 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7452 
  7453 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7454 
  7455 * Code generator library theories:
  7456   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7457     languages.
  7458   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7459     languages.
  7460   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7461     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7462   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7463   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7464     denominator).
  7465   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7466     representable by rational numbers.
  7467   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7468     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7469     includes Code_Integer.
  7470   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7471     target-language built-in integers.
  7472   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7473     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7474 
  7475 * New package for inductive predicates
  7476 
  7477   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7478 
  7479     inductive
  7480       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7481       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7482     where
  7483       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7484     | ...
  7485 
  7486   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7487 
  7488     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7489 
  7490     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7491     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7492 
  7493     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7494     intros
  7495       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7496       ...
  7497 
  7498   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7499   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7500 
  7501     inductive_set
  7502       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7503       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7504     where
  7505       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7506     | ...
  7507 
  7508   or
  7509 
  7510     inductive_set
  7511       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7512       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7513       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7514     where
  7515       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7516     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7517     | ...
  7518 
  7519   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7520 
  7521   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7522   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7523 
  7524   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7525 
  7526   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7527     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7528     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7529     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7530     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7531 
  7532   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7533     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7534     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7535     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7536     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7537     statements of the form
  7538 
  7539       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7540 
  7541     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7542     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7543 
  7544       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7545 
  7546   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7547 
  7548       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7549         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7550         ==> ... ==> P
  7551 
  7552     for predicates and
  7553 
  7554       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7555         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7556         ==> ... ==> P
  7557 
  7558     for sets rather than
  7559 
  7560       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7561         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7562         ==> ... ==> P
  7563 
  7564     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7565     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7566     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7567 
  7568   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7569     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7570     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7571 
  7572 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7573 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7574 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7575 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7576 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7577 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7578 
  7579 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7580 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7581 
  7582 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7583 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7584 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7585 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7586 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7587 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7588 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7589 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7590 variable.
  7591 
  7592 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7593 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7594 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7595 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7596   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7597   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7598 
  7599 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7600 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7601 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7602 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7603 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7604 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7605 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7606 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7607 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7608 
  7609 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7610 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7611 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7612 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7613 rat, etc.
  7614 
  7615 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7616 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7617 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7618 
  7619 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7620 
  7621 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7622 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7623 
  7624 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7625 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7626 
  7627 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7628 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7629 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7630 
  7631 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7632 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7633 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7634 
  7635 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7636 
  7637 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7638 
  7639 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7640 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7641 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7642 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7643 
  7644 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7645 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7646 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7647 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7648 
  7649 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7650 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7651 algebraic operations.
  7652 
  7653 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7654 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7655 
  7656 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7657 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7658 
  7659 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7660 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7661 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7662 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7663 adapted.
  7664 
  7665 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7666 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7667 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7668 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7669 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7670 
  7671 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7672 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7673 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7674 
  7675 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7676 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7677 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7678 
  7679 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7680 
  7681 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7682 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7683 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7684   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7685       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7686   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7687   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7688   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7689 
  7690 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7691 
  7692 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7693 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7694 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7695 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7696 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7697 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7698 
  7699 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7700 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7701 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7702 
  7703 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7704 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7705 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7706 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7707 
  7708 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7709 
  7710 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7711 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7712 
  7713 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7714 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7715 
  7716 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7717 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7718 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7719 
  7720 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7721 True/False.
  7722 
  7723 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7724 
  7725 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7726 
  7727 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7728 ``rule'' method.
  7729 
  7730 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7731 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7732 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7733 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7734 
  7735 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7736 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7737 
  7738 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7739 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7740 
  7741 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7742 Library.
  7743 
  7744 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7745 
  7746 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7747 as greatest fixed-point.
  7748 
  7749 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7750 association lists.
  7751 
  7752 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7753 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7754 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7755 
  7756 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7757 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7758 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7759 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7760 behavior.
  7761 
  7762 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7763 
  7764 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7765 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7766 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7767 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7768 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7769 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7770 
  7771 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7772 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7773 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7774 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7775 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7776 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7777 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7778 
  7779 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7780 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7781 
  7782 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7783 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7784 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7785 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7786 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7787 
  7788 
  7789 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7790 
  7791 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7792 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7793 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7794 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7795 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7796 
  7797 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7798 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7799 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7800 
  7801 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7802 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7803 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7804 
  7805 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7806 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7807 
  7808 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7809 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7810 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7811 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7828 
  7829 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7830 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7831 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7832 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7845 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7846 
  7847 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7848 
  7849 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7850 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7851 
  7852 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7853 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7854 
  7855 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7856 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7857 of algebraic structures.
  7858 
  7859 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7860 
  7861 
  7862 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7863 
  7864 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7865 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7866 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7867 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7868 
  7869 
  7870 *** ML ***
  7871 
  7872 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7873 (even on SML/NJ).
  7874 
  7875 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7876 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7877 compile-time.  For example:
  7878 
  7879 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7880 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7881 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7882 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7883 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7884 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7885 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7886 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7887 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7888 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7889 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7890 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7891 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7892 ML {* @{context} *}
  7893 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7894 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7895 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7896 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7897 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7898 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7899 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7900 
  7901 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7902 
  7903 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  7904 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  7905 
  7906 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  7907 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  7908 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  7909 
  7910 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  7911 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  7912 
  7913 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  7914 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  7915 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  7916 
  7917 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  7918 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  7919 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7920 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7921 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7922 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7923 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7924 declarations and definitions.
  7925 
  7926 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7927 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7928 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7929 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7930 
  7931 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7932 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7933 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7934 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7935 
  7936 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  7937 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  7938 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  7939 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  7940 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  7941 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7942 
  7943 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7944 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7945 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7946 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7947 attributes, methods, etc.
  7948 
  7949 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7950 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7951 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7952 fold_map combinators.
  7953 
  7954 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7955 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7956 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7957 derivation.
  7958 
  7959 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7960 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7961 achieve the old behaviour.
  7962 
  7963 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7964 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7965 statements.
  7966 
  7967 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7968 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7969 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7970 
  7971 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7972 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7973 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7974 
  7975   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7976   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7977   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7978 
  7979 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7980 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7981 
  7982 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7983 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7984 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7985 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7986 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7987 
  7988 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7989 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7990 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7991 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7992 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7993 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7994 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7995 in a locale context).
  7996 
  7997 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7998 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7999 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8000 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8001 
  8002 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8003 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8004 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8005 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8006 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8007 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8008 
  8009 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8010 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8011 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8012 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8013 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8014 
  8015   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8016 
  8017 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8018 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8019 this:
  8020 
  8021   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8022 
  8023 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8024 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8025 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8026 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8027 
  8028 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8029 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8030 
  8031 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8032 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8033 
  8034 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8035 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8036 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8037 batch mode.
  8038 
  8039 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8040 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8041 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8042 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8043 
  8044 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8045 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8046 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8047 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8048 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8049 
  8050 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8051 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8052 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8053 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8054 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8055 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8056 
  8057 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8058 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8059 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8060 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8061 
  8062 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8063 "Trueprop" etc.
  8064 
  8065 
  8066 *** System ***
  8067 
  8068 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8069 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8070 Isabelle installations.
  8071 
  8072 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8073 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8074 code.
  8075 
  8076 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8077 
  8078 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8079 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8080 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8081 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8082 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8083 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8084 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8085 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8086 Implementation manual.
  8087 
  8088 
  8089 
  8090 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8091 ----------------------------------
  8092 
  8093 *** General ***
  8094 
  8095 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8096 
  8097   theory <name>
  8098   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8099   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8100   begin
  8101 
  8102 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8103 
  8104   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8105 
  8106 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8107 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8108 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8109 
  8110 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8111 relative and absolute paths.
  8112 
  8113 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8114 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8115 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8116 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8117 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8118 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8119 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8120 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8121 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8122 
  8123   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8124 
  8125 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8126 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8127 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8128 
  8129 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8130 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8131 
  8132 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8133 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8134 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8135 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8136 
  8137   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8138   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8139 
  8140 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8141 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8142 faster.
  8143 
  8144 
  8145 *** Document preparation ***
  8146 
  8147 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8148 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8149 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8150 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8151 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8152 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8153 
  8154 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8155 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8156 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8157 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8158 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8159 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8160 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8161 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8162 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8163 \isadroptag.
  8164 
  8165 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8166 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8167 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8168 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8169 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8170 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8171 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8172 specified above.
  8173 
  8174 * Several new antiquotations:
  8175 
  8176   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8177 
  8178   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8179 
  8180   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8181   argument is a known logical constant;
  8182 
  8183   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8184   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8185 
  8186   @{ML text}
  8187 
  8188 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8189 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8190 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8191 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8192 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8193 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8194 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8195 
  8196 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8197 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8198 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8199 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8200 
  8201 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8202 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8203 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8204 
  8205 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8206 a proof context.
  8207 
  8208 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8209 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8210 
  8211 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8212 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8213 
  8214 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8215 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8216 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8217 
  8218 
  8219 *** Pure ***
  8220 
  8221 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8222 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8223 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8224 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8225 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8226 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8227 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8228 
  8229 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8230 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8231 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8232 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8233 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8234 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8235 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8236 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8237 
  8238 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8239 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8240 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8241 
  8242 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8243 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8244 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8245 
  8246 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8247 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8248 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8249 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8250 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8251 
  8252 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8253 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8254 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8255 axclasses vs. locales.
  8256 
  8257 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8258 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8259 
  8260 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8261 marks in schematic variable names.
  8262 
  8263 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8264 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8265 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8266 
  8267   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8268     by simp
  8269 
  8270 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8271 
  8272 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8273 annotations as "(00...)".
  8274 
  8275 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8276 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8277 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8278 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8279 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8280 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8281 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8282 
  8283 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8284 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8285 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8286 specifications.
  8287 
  8288 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8289 locally fixed variables as well.
  8290 
  8291 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8292 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8293 Limit.
  8294 
  8295 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8296 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8297 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8298 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8299 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8300 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8301 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8302 
  8303 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8304 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8305 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8306 
  8307 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8308 
  8309 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8310 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8311 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8312 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8313 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8314 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8315 
  8316 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8317 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8318 
  8319 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8320 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8321 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8322 
  8323 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8324 
  8325 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8326 theory development.
  8327 
  8328 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8329 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8330 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8331 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8332 
  8333 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8334 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8335 quoted when used as identifier.
  8336 
  8337 
  8338 *** Locales ***
  8339 
  8340 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8341 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8342 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8343 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8344 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8345 commands is a follows:
  8346 
  8347   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8348   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8349   (3) interpret expr inst
  8350 
  8351 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8352 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8353 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8354 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8355 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8356 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8357 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8358 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8359 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8360 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8361 
  8362 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8363 'interpret' instead.
  8364 
  8365 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8366 parameters.
  8367 
  8368 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8369 redeclaration.
  8370 
  8371 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8372 
  8373 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8374 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8375 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8376 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8377 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8378 
  8379 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8380 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8381 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8382 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8383 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8384 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8385 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8386 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8387 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8388 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8389 
  8390 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8391 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8392 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8393 
  8394 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8395 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8396 
  8397 
  8398 *** Provers ***
  8399 
  8400 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8401 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8402 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8403 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8404 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8405 
  8406 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8407 and quasi orders.
  8408 
  8409 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8410 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8411 
  8412 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8413 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8414 
  8415 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8416 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8417 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8418 
  8419 
  8420 *** HOL ***
  8421 
  8422 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8423 
  8424   syntax (epsilon)
  8425     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8426 
  8427 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8428 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8429 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8430 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8431 
  8432 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8433 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8434 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8435 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8436 
  8437 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8438 instead of ":".
  8439 
  8440 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8441 
  8442   Old       New
  8443   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8444   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8445   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8446   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8447   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8448 
  8449 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8450 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8451 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8452 
  8453   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8454   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8455 
  8456 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8457 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8458 interface.
  8459 
  8460 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8461 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8462 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8463 be a tuple pattern.
  8464 
  8465 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8466 
  8467   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8468   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8469   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8470   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8471 
  8472 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8473 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8474 
  8475 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8476 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8477 (insert F x)'.
  8478 
  8479 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8480 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8481 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8482 
  8483 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8484 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8485 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8486 
  8487 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8488 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8489 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8490 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8491 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8492 
  8493 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8494 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8495 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8496 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8497 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8498 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8499 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8500 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8501 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8502 
  8503 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8504 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8505 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8506 quite long.
  8507 
  8508 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8509 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8510 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8511 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8512 
  8513 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8514 type-variables in the term.
  8515 
  8516 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8517 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8518 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8519 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8520 goals than previously.
  8521 
  8522 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8523 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8524 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8525 just like y <= x.
  8526 
  8527 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8528 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8529 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8530 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8531 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8532 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8533 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8534 
  8535 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8536 
  8537 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8538 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8539 
  8540 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8541 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8542 inequalities.
  8543 
  8544 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8545 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8546 
  8547   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8548   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8549   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8550   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8551   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8552   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8553   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8554   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8555   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8556   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8557   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8558 
  8559 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8560 
  8561      zero_le_square
  8562      not_square_less_zero
  8563 
  8564   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8565 
  8566      realpow_zero_zero
  8567      realpow_two
  8568      realpow_less
  8569      zero_le_power
  8570      realpow_two_le
  8571      abs_realpow_two
  8572      realpow_two_abs
  8573 
  8574 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8575 
  8576 * Theory List:
  8577 
  8578 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8579 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8580 
  8581   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8582   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8583   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8584   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8585 
  8586 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8587 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8588 
  8589 
  8590 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8591 
  8592 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8593 integers in the reals.
  8594 
  8595 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8596 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8597 
  8598   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8599   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8600   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8601   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8602   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8603 
  8604 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8605 
  8606 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8607 
  8608 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8609 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8610 
  8611   hypreal = real star
  8612   hypnat = nat star
  8613   hcomplex = complex star
  8614 
  8615 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8616 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8617 
  8618   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex

  8630   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8631 
  8632 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8633 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8634 
  8635   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute

  8658   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8659 
  8660 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8661 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8662 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8663 
  8664   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set

  8752 
  8753 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8754 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8755 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8756 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8757 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8758 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8759 
  8760 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8761 
  8762 
  8763 *** HOLCF ***
  8764 
  8765 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8766 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8767 type-inference.
  8768 
  8769 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8770 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8771 instead of exponential time).
  8772 
  8773 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8774 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8775 
  8776   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8777 
  8778 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8779 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8780 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8781 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8782 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8783 syntax and examples.
  8784 
  8785 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8786 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8787 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8788 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8789 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8790 
  8791 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8792 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8793 
  8794   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8795   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8796   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8797   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8798   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8799   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8800 
  8801 
  8802 *** ZF ***
  8803 
  8804 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8805 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8806 of a homomorphism).
  8807 
  8808 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8809 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8810 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8811 
  8812 
  8813 *** Cube ***
  8814 
  8815 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8816 theories.
  8817 
  8818 
  8819 *** ML ***
  8820 
  8821 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8822 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8823 
  8824 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8825 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8826 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8827 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8828 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8829 
  8830 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8831 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8832 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8833 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8834 
  8835 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8836 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8837 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8838 
  8839     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8840     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8841     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8842     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8843     seq fs = List.app fs
  8844     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8845     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8846 
  8847 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8848 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8849 
  8850   x |> f                f #> g
  8851   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8852 
  8853 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8854 
  8855   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8856   infix 2 ?;
  8857   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8858   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8859 
  8860 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8861 infix operators.
  8862 
  8863 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8864 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8865 example:
  8866 
  8867   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8868     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8869 
  8870   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8871     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8872 
  8873   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8874     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8875 
  8876   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8877     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8878 
  8879 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8880 available:
  8881 
  8882   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8883   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8884   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8885   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8886 
  8887 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8888 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8889 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8890 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8891 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8892 
  8893   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8894   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8895   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8896 
  8897 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8898 
  8899   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8900   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8901 
  8902 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8903 Naive rewrites:
  8904 
  8905   make_keylist = AList.make
  8906   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  8907 
  8908 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  8909   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  8910 
  8911     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  8912     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  8913 
  8914 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  8915   Naive rewrites:
  8916 
  8917     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  8918     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  8919 
  8920 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8921 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8922 lists.
  8923 
  8924 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8925 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8926 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8927 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8928 
  8929 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8930 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8931 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8932 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8933 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8934 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8935 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8936 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8937 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8938 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8939 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8940 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8941 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8942 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8943 Output.raw have no effect.
  8944 
  8945 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8946 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8947 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8948 
  8949 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8950 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8951 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8952 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8953 
  8954 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8955 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8956 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8957 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8958 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8959 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8960 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8961 
  8962 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8963 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8964 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8965 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8966 
  8967 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8968 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8969 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8970 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8971 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8972 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8973 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8974 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8975 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8976 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8977 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8978 
  8979 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8980 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8981 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8982 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8983 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8984 with earlier declarations.
  8985 
  8986 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8987 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8988 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8989 
  8990 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8991 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8992 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8993 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8994 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8995 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8996 
  8997   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8998     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8999 
  9000   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9001     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9002 
  9003   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9004     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9005     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9006     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9007 
  9008 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9009 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9010 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9011 
  9012 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9013 
  9014 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9015 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9016 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9017 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9018 
  9019 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9020 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9021 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9022 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9023 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9024 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9025 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9026 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9027 
  9028 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9029 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9030 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9031 
  9032 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9033 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9034 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9035 
  9036 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9037 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9038 
  9039   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9040   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9041   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9042   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9043 
  9044 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9045 
  9046 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9047 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9048 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9049 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9050 (both increase the runtime).
  9051 
  9052 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9053 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9054 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9055 
  9056 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9057 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9058 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9059 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9060 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9061 for further details.
  9062 
  9063 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9064 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9065 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9066 scripts for the time being.
  9067 
  9068 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9069 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9070 
  9071   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9072   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9073 
  9074 
  9075 *** System ***
  9076 
  9077 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9078 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9079 
  9080 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9081 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9082 
  9083 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9084 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9085 
  9086 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9087 distribution being used.
  9088 
  9089 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9090 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9091 theories.
  9092 
  9093 
  9094 
  9095 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9096 --------------------------------
  9097 
  9098 *** General ***
  9099 
  9100 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9101   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9102 
  9103 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9104   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9105   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9106   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9107   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9108   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9109   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9110   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9111   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9112   existing theory and ML files.
  9113 
  9114 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9115 
  9116 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9117   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9118   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9119   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9120 
  9121 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9122   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9123   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9124   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9125 
  9126 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9127   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9128   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9129 
  9130 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9131   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9132   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9133   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9134   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9135 
  9136 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9137   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9138 
  9139 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9140   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9141   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9142 
  9143 
  9144 *** Isar ***
  9145 
  9146 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9147   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9148   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9149     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9150     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9151     emulations.
  9152   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9153     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9154     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9155 
  9156 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9157   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9158     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9159     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9160   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9161 
  9162 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9163   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9164   and derived forms.
  9165 
  9166 * Locales:
  9167   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9168     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9169     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9170     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9171   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9172     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9173   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9174     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9175   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9176         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9177     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9178     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9179     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9180     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9181     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9182       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9183     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9184     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9185     with "locale (open)".
  9186       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9187 
  9188 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9189   (Isar) contexts.
  9190 
  9191 
  9192 *** HOL ***
  9193 
  9194 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9195   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9196   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9197   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9198   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9199 
  9200 * Simplifier:
  9201   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9202     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9203     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9204     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9205     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9206   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9207     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9208     is solved by simplification already.
  9209 
  9210 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9211     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9212 
  9213 * Numerics:
  9214   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9215     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9216   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9217     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9218   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9219     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9220     exponentiation).
  9221 
  9222 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9223 
  9224 * Records:
  9225   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9226     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9227     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9228   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9229     (not enabled by default).
  9230   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9231     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9232   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9233 
  9234 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9235   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9236   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9237 
  9238 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9239 
  9240 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9241 
  9242 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9243   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9244 
  9245 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9246   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9247 
  9248 * Unions and Intersections:
  9249   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9250   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9251   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9252   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9253 
  9254 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9255   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9256   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9257   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9258 
  9259 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9260   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9261 
  9262 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9263   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9264 
  9265 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9266   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9267   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9268 
  9269 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9270   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9271   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9272   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9273   for examples.
  9274 
  9275 
  9276 *** HOLCF ***
  9277 
  9278 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9279 
  9280 
  9281 
  9282 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9283 ------------------------------
  9284 
  9285 *** General ***
  9286 
  9287 * Provers/simplifier:
  9288 
  9289   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9290     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9291     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9292     the order of assumptions.
  9293 
  9294     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9295 
  9296     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9297        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9298 
  9299         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9300 
  9301        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9302 
  9303         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9304 
  9305        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9306        kind of problem.
  9307 
  9308     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9309        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9310        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9311        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9312        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9313        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9314        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9315 
  9316   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9317 
  9318   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9319     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9320     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9321     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9322     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9323     the simplifier would diverge.
  9324 
  9325   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9326 
  9327   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9328     congruence is ignored.
  9329 
  9330 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9331   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9332   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9333 
  9334 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9335 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9336    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9337 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9338 
  9339 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9340 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9341       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9342 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9343 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9344 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9345 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9346 
  9347 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9348 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9349 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9350 assumption failed.
  9351 
  9352 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9353 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9354 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9355 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9356 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9357 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9358 on the old view without predicates;
  9359 
  9360 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9361 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9362 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9363 
  9364 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9365 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9366 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9367 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9368 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9369 be given (the default is 40);
  9370 
  9371 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9372 (batch-mode only);
  9373 
  9374 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9375 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9376 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9377 
  9378 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9379 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9380 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9381 
  9382 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9383 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9384 
  9385 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9386 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9387 
  9388 
  9389 *** HOL ***
  9390 
  9391 * arith(_tac)
  9392 
  9393  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9394    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9395    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9396    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9397 
  9398  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9399 
  9400  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9401    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9402    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9403 
  9404 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9405 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9406 
  9407 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9408 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9409 
  9410 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9411 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9412 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9413 
  9414 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9415 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9416 
  9417 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9418 definition;
  9419 
  9420 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9421 Finite_Set);
  9422 
  9423 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9424 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9425 
  9426 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9427   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9428 
  9429 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9430 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9431 of the empty set.
  9432 
  9433 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9434 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9435 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9436 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9437 
  9438 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9439 
  9440 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9441 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9442 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9443 
  9444 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9445 
  9446 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9447 Fleuriot);
  9448 
  9449 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9450 
  9451 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9452 Gray and Kramer);
  9453 
  9454 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9455 
  9456 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9457 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9458 
  9459 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9460 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9461 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9462 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9463 assignment, exceptions.
  9464 
  9465 
  9466 *** ZF ***
  9467 
  9468 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9469 universe, etc.);
  9470 
  9471 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9472 
  9473 
  9474 *** ML ***
  9475 
  9476 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9477 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9478 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9479 
  9480 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9481 
  9482 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9483 up simprocs;
  9484 
  9485 
  9486 *** Document preparation ***
  9487 
  9488 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9489 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9490 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9491 
  9492 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9493 other packages
  9494 
  9495 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9496 broke \Rightarrow)
  9497 
  9498 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9499 textcomp package)
  9500 
  9501 
  9502 
  9503 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9504 --------------------------------
  9505 
  9506 *** Document preparation ***
  9507 
  9508 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9509 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9510 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9511 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9512 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9513 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9514 
  9515 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9516 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9517 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9518 
  9519 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9520 blocks after section headings;
  9521 
  9522 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9523 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9524 
  9525 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9526 better in printed text;
  9527 
  9528 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9529 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9530 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9531 
  9532 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9533 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9534 location;

  9537 *** Isar ***
  9538 
  9539 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9540   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9541     "case (Suc n)");
  9542   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9543     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9544     instantiation of cases;
  9545   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9546     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9547     rules without further ado;
  9548   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9549     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9550     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9551     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9552     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9553   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9554     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9555     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9556     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9557     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9558     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9559   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9560     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9561     below);
  9562   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9563     success (no backtracking);
  9564   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9565   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9566   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9567     General versions);
  9568   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9569   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9570 
  9571 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9572 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9573 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9574 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9575 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9576 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9577 fails:
  9578 
  9579   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9580 
  9581 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9582 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9583 
  9584 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9585 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9586 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9587 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9588 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9589 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9590 some examples;
  9591 
  9592 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9593 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9594 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9595 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9596 qualified by the locale name);
  9597 
  9598 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9599 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9600 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9601 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9602 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9603 
  9604 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9605 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9606 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9607 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9608 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9609 
  9610 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9611 
  9612 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9613 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9614 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9615 
  9616 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9617 
  9618 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9619 
  9620 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9621 
  9622 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9623 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9624 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9625 
  9626 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9627 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9628 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9629 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9630 proof *scripts*;
  9631 
  9632 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9633 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9634 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9635 especially important for locales);
  9636 
  9637 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9638 mode;
  9639 
  9640 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9641 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9642 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9643 situations;
  9644 
  9645 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9646 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9647 
  9648 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9649 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9650 discontinued;
  9651 
  9652 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9653 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9654 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9655 
  9656 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9657 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9658 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9659 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9660 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9661 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9662 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9663 
  9664 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9665 of introduction rules;
  9666 
  9667 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9668 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9669 conditional rules;
  9670 
  9671 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9672 
  9673 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9674 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9675 
  9676 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9677 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9678 
  9679 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9680 wf_induct_rule;
  9681 
  9682 
  9683 *** HOL ***
  9684 
  9685 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9686 follows:
  9687 
  9688   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9689   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9690 
  9691   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9692   binary representation internally;
  9693 
  9694   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9695   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9696 
  9697 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9698 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9699 
  9700   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9701   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9702   to be spaced properly;
  9703 
  9704   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9705   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9706 
  9707   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9708 
  9709   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9710 
  9711 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9712 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9713 
  9714 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9715 
  9716 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9717 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9718 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9719 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9720 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9721 
  9722 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9723   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9724     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9725     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9726     declared as simp by default;
  9727   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9728     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9729   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9730     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9731   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9732   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9733     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9734     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9735   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9736     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9737 
  9738 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9739 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9740 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9741 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9742 
  9743 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9744 
  9745 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9746         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9747         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9748 
  9749 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9750 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9751 
  9752 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9753 
  9754 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9755 
  9756 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9757 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9758   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9759 
  9760 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9761 in this (rare) case use:
  9762 
  9763   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9764   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9765 
  9766 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9767 MAY FAIL;
  9768 
  9769 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9770 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9771 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9772 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9773 
  9774 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9775 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9776 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9777 
  9778 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9779 expressions;
  9780 
  9781 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9782 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9783 
  9784 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9785 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9786 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9787 
  9788 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9789 
  9790 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9791 the "cases" method);
  9792 
  9793 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9794 Florian Kammller);
  9795 
  9796 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9797 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9798 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9799 
  9800 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9801 
  9802 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9803 
  9804 
  9805 *** HOLCF ***
  9806 
  9807 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9808 operations;
  9809 
  9810 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9811 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9812 
  9813 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9814 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9815 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9816 
  9817 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9818 
  9819 
  9820 *** ZF ***
  9821 
  9822 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9823 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9824 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9825 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9826 
  9827 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9828 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9829 
  9830 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9831 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9832 
  9833 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9834 typeless version of the formalism;
  9835 
  9836 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9837 format;
  9838 
  9839 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9840 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9841 new-style theory format;
  9842 
  9843 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9844 
  9845 
  9846 *** General ***
  9847 
  9848 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9849 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9850 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9851 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9852 
  9853 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9854 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9855 
  9856 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9857 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9858 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9859 properly;
  9860 
  9861 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9862 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9863 
  9864 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9865 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9866 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9867 type variable);
  9868 
  9869 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9870 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9871 "type_brackets";
  9872 
  9873 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9874 tokens into AST constants;
  9875 
  9876 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9877 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9878 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9879 
  9880 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9881 practice);
  9882 
  9883 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9884 addSafter;
  9885 
  9886 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9887 as well;
  9888 
  9889 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9890 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9891 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9892 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9893 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9894 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9895 
  9896 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9897 
  9898 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9899 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9900 
  9901 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9902 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9903 
  9904 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  9905 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  9906 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  9907 
  9908 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  9909 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  9910 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  9911 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  9912 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  9913 
  9914 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  9915 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  9916 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  9917 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  9918 
  9919 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9920 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9921 terminal);
  9922 
  9923 
  9924 
  9925 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9926 -----------------------------------
  9927 
  9928 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9929 
  9930 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9931 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9932 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9933 
  9934 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9935 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9936 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9937 'split_rule (complete)';
  9938 
  9939 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9940 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9941 
  9942 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9943 
  9944 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9945 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9946 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9947 
  9948 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9949 operation;
  9950 
  9951 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9952 
  9953 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9954 
  9955 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9956 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9957 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9958 
  9959 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9960 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9961 
  9962 
  9963 *** Document preparation ***
  9964 
  9965 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9966 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9967 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9968 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9969 type-writer);
  9970 
  9971 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9972 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9973 
  9974 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9975 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9976 
  9977 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9978 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9979 definitions);
  9980 
  9981 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9982 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9983 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9984 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9985 
  9986 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9987 fonts;
  9988 
  9989 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9990 generation;
  9991 
  9992 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9993 
  9994 
  9995 *** Isar ***
  9996 
  9997 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9998 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9999 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10000 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10001 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10002 
 10003 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10004 rules as well;
 10005 
 10006 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10007 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10008 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10009 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10010 
 10011 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10012 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10013 
 10014 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10015 statements as well;
 10016 
 10017 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10018 
 10019 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10020 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10021 
 10022 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10023 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10024 
 10025 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10026 
 10027 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10028 
 10029 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10030 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10031 
 10032 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10033 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10034 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10035 
 10036 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10037 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10038 the result to be shown in each case;
 10039 
 10040 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10041 
 10042 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10043 
 10044 
 10045 *** HOL ***
 10046 
 10047 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10048 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10049 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10050 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10051 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10052 
 10053 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10054 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10055 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10056 
 10057 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10058 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10059 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10060 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10061 literature;
 10062 
 10063 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10064 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10065 operator \<Sum>;
 10066 
 10067 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10068 HOL/subset.thy);
 10069 
 10070 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10071 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10072 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10073 
 10074 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10075 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10076 
 10077 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10078 rules with string literals);
 10079 
 10080 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10081  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10082  functions for the reals;
 10083 
 10084 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10085 
 10086 
 10087 *** CTT ***
 10088 
 10089 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10090 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10091 
 10092 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10093 and Arith);
 10094 
 10095 
 10096 *** General ***
 10097 
 10098 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10099 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10100 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10101 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10102 
 10103 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10104 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10105 
 10106 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10107 as assumptions as well;
 10108 
 10109 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10110 
 10111 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10112 
 10113 
 10114 
 10115 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10116 ----------------------------------
 10117 
 10118 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10119 
 10120 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10121 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10122 issue the following ML commands:
 10123 
 10124   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10125   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10126 
 10127 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10128 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10129 
 10130 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10131 
 10132 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10133 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10134 
 10135   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10136   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10137   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10138   selectI2         -> someI2
 10139   selectI          -> someI
 10140   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10141   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10142   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10143 
 10144 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10145 
 10146 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10147 instead);
 10148 
 10149 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10150 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10151 
 10152 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10153 
 10154 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10155 sometimes be needed;
 10156 
 10157 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10158 
 10159 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10160 
 10161 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10162 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10163 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10164 
 10165 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10166 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10167 
 10168 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10169 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10170 
 10171   syntax (symbols)
 10172     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10173       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10174 
 10175 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10176 
 10177 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10178 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10179 internally;
 10180 
 10181 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10182 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10183 
 10184 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10185 proofs;
 10186 
 10187 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10188 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10189 
 10190 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10191 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10192 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10193 "rule del";
 10194 
 10195 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10196 
 10197 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10198 
 10199 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10200 lib/texinputs);
 10201 
 10202 
 10203 *** Document preparation ***
 10204 
 10205 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10206 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10207 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10208 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10209 
 10210 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10211 including proper document sources;
 10212 
 10213 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10214 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10215 of isatool usedir;
 10216 
 10217 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10218 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10219 LaTeX debugging;
 10220 
 10221 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10222 
 10223 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10224 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10225 graph for 'all sessions';
 10226 
 10227 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10228 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10229 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10230 
 10231 
 10232 *** Isar ***
 10233 
 10234 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10235 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10236 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10237 
 10238 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10239 generalized existence reasoning;
 10240 
 10241 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10242 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10243 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10244 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10245 premises;
 10246 
 10247 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10248 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10249 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10250 to theorems as "tags";
 10251 
 10252 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10253 class/type/const name spaces;
 10254 
 10255 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10256 indicate potential overloading;
 10257 
 10258 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10259 
 10260 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10261 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10262 
 10263 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10264 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10265 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10266 
 10267 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10268 case name 'antecedent';
 10269 
 10270 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10271 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10272 
 10273 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10274 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10275 
 10276 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10277 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10278 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10279 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10280 
 10281 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10282 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10283 
 10284 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10285 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10286 well (including splits);
 10287 
 10288 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10289 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10290 
 10291 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10292 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10293 
 10294 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10295 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10296 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10297 
 10298 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10299 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10300 calculations;
 10301 
 10302 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10303 method anyway;
 10304 
 10305 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10306 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10307 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10308 
 10309 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10310 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10311 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10312 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10313 
 10314 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10315 
 10316 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10317 
 10318 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10319 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10320 proof states;
 10321 
 10322 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10323 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10324 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10325 
 10326 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10327 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10328 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10329 (for HOL datatypes);
 10330 
 10331 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10332 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10333 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10334 
 10335 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10336 
 10337 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10338 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10339 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10340 
 10341 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10342 
 10343 
 10344 *** HOL ***
 10345 
 10346 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10347 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10348 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10349 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10350 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10351 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10352 
 10353 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10354 Clemens Ballarin;
 10355 
 10356 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10357 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10358 Rasmussen;
 10359 
 10360 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10361 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10362 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10363 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10364 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10365 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10366 
 10367 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10368 von Oheimb;
 10369 
 10370 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10371 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10372 
 10373 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10374 
 10375 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10376 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10377 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10378 
 10379 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10380 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10381 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10382 
 10383 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10384 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10385 
 10386 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10387 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10388 
 10389 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10390    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10391    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10392   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10393     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10394   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10395     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10396 
 10397 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10398 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10399 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10400 
 10401 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10402 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10403 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10404 
 10405 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10406 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10407 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10408 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10409 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10410 
 10411 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10412 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10413 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10414 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10415 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10416 each equation;
 10417 
 10418 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10419 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10420 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10421 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10422 
 10423 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10424 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10425 
 10426 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10427 
 10428 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10429 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10430 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10431 
 10432 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10433 
 10434 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10435 main HOL, but was unused);
 10436 
 10437 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10438 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10439 
 10440 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10441 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10442 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10443 bogus);
 10444 
 10445 
 10446 *** ZF ***
 10447 
 10448 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10449 expressions over nat and int;
 10450 
 10451 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10452 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10453 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10454 
 10455 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10456 using the function intify;
 10457 
 10458 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10459 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10460 
 10461 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10462 simplification;
 10463 
 10464 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10465 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10466 
 10467 
 10468 *** General ***
 10469 
 10470 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10471 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10472 
 10473 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10474 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10475 
 10476 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10477 explicit make_elim);
 10478 
 10479 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10480   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10481 use instead the strong form,
 10482   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10483 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10484 from destruct-rules;
 10485 
 10486 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10487 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10488 
 10489 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10490 
 10491 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10492 for hiding of names;
 10493 
 10494 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10495 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10496 situations;
 10497 
 10498 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10499 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10500 Poly/ML);
 10501 
 10502 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10503 useful for remote X11);
 10504 
 10505 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10506 
 10507 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10508 order;
 10509 
 10510 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10511 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10512 
 10513 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10514 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10515 
 10516 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10517 overloading (usually false);
 10518 
 10519 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10520 results;
 10521 
 10522 
 10523 
 10524 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10525 --------------------------------
 10526 
 10527 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10528 
 10529 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10530 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10531 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10532 
 10533     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10534 
 10535 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10536 complement;
 10537 
 10538 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10539 
 10540 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10541   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10542 
 10543 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10544 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10545 
 10546 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10547 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10548 
 10549 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10550 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10551 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10552 
 10553 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10554 
 10555 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10556         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10557 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10558 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10559         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10560 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10561 
 10562 
 10563 *** Proof tools ***
 10564 
 10565 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10566 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10567 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10568 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10569 
 10570 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10571      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10572   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10573   matching.
 10574 
 10575 
 10576 *** General ***
 10577 
 10578 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10579 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10580 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10581 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10582 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10583 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10584 
 10585 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10586 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10587 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10588 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10589 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10590 
 10591 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10592 Isabelle/Isar;
 10593 
 10594 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10595 using the graph browser tool;
 10596 
 10597 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10598 
 10599 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10600 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10601 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10602 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10603 isatool doc ref);
 10604 
 10605 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10606 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10607 
 10608 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10609 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10610 
 10611 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10612 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10613 Isabelle;
 10614 
 10615 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10616 
 10617 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10618 empty;
 10619 
 10620 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10621 long arrows);
 10622 
 10623 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10624 
 10625 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10626 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10627 
 10628 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10629 mode and goal output format:
 10630 
 10631 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10632 244c244
 10633 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10634 ---
 10635 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10636 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10637 181c181
 10638 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10639 ---
 10640 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10641 
 10642 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10643 
 10644 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10645 
 10646 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10647 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10648 result still apply;
 10649 
 10650 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10651 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10652 
 10653 
 10654 *** HOL ***
 10655 
 10656 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10657 
 10658 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10659 int:
 10660 
 10661 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10662 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10663 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10664 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10665 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10666 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10667 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10668 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10669 
 10670 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10671 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10672 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10673 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10674 simplifier.
 10675 
 10676 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10677 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10678 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10679 
 10680 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10681 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10682 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10683 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10684 type constraints;
 10685 
 10686 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10687 arguments;
 10688 
 10689 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10690 are now available;
 10691 
 10692 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10693 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10694 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10695 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10696 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10697   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10698 
 10699 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10700 
 10701 
 10702 ** HOL misc **
 10703 
 10704 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10705 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10706 
 10707 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10708 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10709 
 10710 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10711 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10712 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10713 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10714 
 10715 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10716   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10717   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10718   "mono" attribute);
 10719 
 10720 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10721   (using function types) such as
 10722 
 10723   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10724 
 10725 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10726 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10727 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10728 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10729 
 10730   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10731   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10732 
 10733 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10734 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10735 
 10736 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10737 names rather than an ML expression;
 10738 
 10739 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10740 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10741     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10742 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10743 
 10744 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10745 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10746 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10747 
 10748 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10749 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10750 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10751 
 10752 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10753 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10754 
 10755 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10756 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10757 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10758 
 10759 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10760 
 10761 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10762 thus available for user theories;
 10763 
 10764 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10765 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10766 time;
 10767 
 10768 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10769 several times and then mp;
 10770 
 10771 
 10772 *** LK ***
 10773 
 10774 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10775 formulas;
 10776 
 10777 * the simplifier is now installed
 10778 
 10779 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10780 
 10781 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10782 
 10783 
 10784 *** ZF ***
 10785 
 10786 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10787 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10788 
 10789 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10790 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10791 
 10792 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10793 
 10794 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10795 constructors;
 10796 
 10797 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10798 type-checking rules;
 10799 
 10800 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10801 to the claset;
 10802 
 10803 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10804 if(P,x,y);
 10805 
 10806 
 10807 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10808 
 10809 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10810 
 10811 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10812 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10813 
 10814 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10815 
 10816 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10817 printing empty lines;
 10818 
 10819 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10820 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10821 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10822 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10823 
 10824 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10825 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10826 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10827 
 10828 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10829 now of type real instead of int;
 10830 
 10831 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10832 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10833 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10834 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10835 
 10836 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10837 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10838 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10839 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10840 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10841 
 10842 
 10843 
 10844 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10845 ----------------------------------
 10846 
 10847 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10848 
 10849 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10850 
 10851 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10852 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10853 
 10854 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10855 called `inj_on';
 10856 
 10857 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10858   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10859   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10860 
 10861 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10862 required);
 10863 
 10864 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10865 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10866 now taken as an integer constant.
 10867 
 10868 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10869 
 10870 
 10871 *** Proof tools ***
 10872 
 10873 * Simplifier:
 10874   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10875      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10876         simplify.
 10877      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10878         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10879      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10880      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10881   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10882 
 10883 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10884 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10885 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10886 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10887 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10888 one (emitting a warning).
 10889   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10890   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10891   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10892   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10893   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10894 
 10895 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10896 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10897 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10898 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10899 by Force_tac;
 10900 
 10901 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10902 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10903 
 10904 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 10905 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 10906 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 10907 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 10908 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 10909 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 10910 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 10911 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 10912 split_all_tac for record fields.
 10913 
 10914 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 10915 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 10916 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 10917 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 10918 
 10919 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10920 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10921 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10922 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10923 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10924 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10925 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10926 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10927 t is the name of the datatype).
 10928 
 10929 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10930 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10931 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10932 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10933 
 10934 
 10935 *** General ***
 10936 
 10937 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 10938 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 10939 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 10940 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 10941 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 10942 (backup your sources first!);
 10943 
 10944 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 10945 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 10946 
 10947 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 10948 definitions that have local scope;
 10949 
 10950 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 10951 
 10952 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 10953 (e.g. package initialization);
 10954 
 10955 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 10956 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 10957 
 10958 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 10959 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 10960 
 10961 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 10962 
 10963 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 10964 
 10965 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 10966 
 10967 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 10968 
 10969 
 10970 *** HOL ***
 10971 
 10972 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 10973 
 10974 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 10975 definitions such as
 10976 
 10977   inductive EVEN ODD
 10978     intrs
 10979       null "0 : EVEN"
 10980       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 10981       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 10982 
 10983 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10984 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10985 correctly (also ZF);
 10986 
 10987 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10988 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10989 contained in "induct";
 10990 
 10991 
 10992 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10993 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10994 
 10995   datatype
 10996     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10997             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10998             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10999             | NUM 'a
 11000   and
 11001     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11002             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11003             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11004 
 11005 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11006 
 11007   datatype
 11008     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11009                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11010 
 11011 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11012 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11013 
 11014 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11015 <function_name>.simps.
 11016 
 11017 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11018 
 11019   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11020     ancestor.
 11021   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11022     generic induct_tac instead.
 11023   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11024     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11025     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11026     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11027   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11028     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11029   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11030     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11031     sort constraints.
 11032   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11033     of recursive argument.
 11034 
 11035 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11036 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11037 
 11038 
 11039 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11040 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11041 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11042 support is as follows:
 11043 
 11044   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11045 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11046 
 11047   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11048 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11049 
 11050   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11051 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11052 
 11053 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11054 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11055 the name of your record type.
 11056 
 11057 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11058 
 11059   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11060 
 11061 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11062 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11063 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11064 solve record problems automatically.
 11065 
 11066 
 11067 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11068 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11069 
 11070 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11071 
 11072 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11073 
 11074 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11075 
 11076 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11077 
 11078 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11079 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11080 with add/delsplits);
 11081 
 11082 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11083 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11084 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11085 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11086 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11087 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11088 %u.f();
 11089 
 11090 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11091 makes more sense);
 11092 
 11093 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11094   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11095   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11096 
 11097 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11098 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11099 literature);
 11100 
 11101 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11102 the well-founded relation;
 11103 
 11104 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11105     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11106     release ONLY.
 11107 
 11108 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11109     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11110 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11111 
 11112 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11113 
 11114 * HOL/List:
 11115   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11116     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11117   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11118     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11119     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11120   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11121 
 11122 * HOL/Arith:
 11123   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11124   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11125   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11126   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11127 
 11128 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11129 instead of "inverse";
 11130 
 11131 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11132   of the multiset ordering;
 11133 
 11134 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11135   (not included by default);
 11136 
 11137 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11138 
 11139 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11140   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11141 
 11142 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11143   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11144   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11145 
 11146 
 11147 *** ZF ***
 11148 
 11149 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11150   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11151 
 11152 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11153   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11154   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11155 
 11156 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11157     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11158   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11159 
 11160 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11161 
 11162 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11163   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11164   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11165 
 11166 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11167     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11168 
 11169 
 11170 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11171 
 11172 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11173 also src/Pure/README;
 11174 
 11175 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11176 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11177 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11178 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11179 
 11180 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11181 are qualified by default;
 11182 
 11183 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11184 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11185 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11186 
 11187 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11188 cterm -> thm;
 11189 
 11190 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11191 subgoal;
 11192 
 11193 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11194 
 11195 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11196 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11197 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11198 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11199 for example;
 11200 
 11201 
 11202 
 11203 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11204 --------------------------------
 11205 
 11206 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11207 
 11208 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11209 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11210 
 11211 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11212 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11213 
 11214 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11215 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11216 
 11217 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11218 
 11219 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11220 
 11221 
 11222 *** General Changes ***
 11223 
 11224 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11225 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11226 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11227 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11228 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11229 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11230 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11231 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11232 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11233 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11234 section;
 11235 
 11236 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11237 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11238 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11239 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11240 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11241 
 11242 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11243 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11244 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11245 
 11246 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11247 conditional equations;
 11248 
 11249 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11250 
 11251 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11252 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11253 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11254 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11255 
 11256 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11257 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11258 
 11259 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11260 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11261 
 11262 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11263 show_types);
 11264 
 11265 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11266 
 11267 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11268 
 11269 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11270 
 11271 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11272 
 11273 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11274 
 11275 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11276     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11277 
 11278 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11279 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11280 
 11281 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11282 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11283 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11284 
 11285 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11286 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11287 
 11288 
 11289 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11290 
 11291 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11292 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11293 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11294 
 11295 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11296 
 11297 
 11298 *** Simplifier ***
 11299 
 11300 * added simplification meta rules:
 11301     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11302 
 11303 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11304 logics (again);
 11305 
 11306 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11307 
 11308 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11309   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11310   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11311 
 11312 
 11313 *** Syntax ***
 11314 
 11315 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11316 
 11317 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11318 
 11319 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11320 
 11321 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11322 
 11323 
 11324 *** HOL ***
 11325 
 11326 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11327   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11328 
 11329 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11330 
 11331 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11332   protocol TLS;
 11333 
 11334 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11335 
 11336 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11337 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11338 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11339 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11340 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11341 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11342 
 11343 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11344   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11345   are rewritten to
 11346   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11347   and those of the form
 11348   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11349   are rewritten to
 11350   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11351 
 11352 * HOL/datatype
 11353   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11354 
 11355   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11356      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11357         ...
 11358        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11359      )
 11360 
 11361   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11362 
 11363   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11364     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11365         ...
 11366        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11367      )
 11368   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11369   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11370   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11371 
 11372 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11373   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11374     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11375     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11376   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11377     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11378     `standard'.
 11379 
 11380 * HOL/Lists:
 11381   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11382   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11383   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11384 
 11385 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11386 
 11387 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11388   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11389 
 11390 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11391 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11392 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11393 
 11394 
 11395 *** HOLCF ***
 11396 
 11397 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11398 
 11399 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11400   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11401 
 11402 * domain package:
 11403   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11404   . creates hierachical name space,
 11405   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11406   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11407   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11408   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11409   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11410     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11411 
 11412 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11413 
 11414 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11415 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11416 
 11417 
 11418 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11419 
 11420 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11421   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11422 
 11423 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11424 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11425 
 11426 
 11427 
 11428 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11429 ------------------------------
 11430 
 11431 *** General Changes ***
 11432 
 11433 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11434 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11435 
 11436 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11437 
 11438 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11439 
 11440 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11441 messages and clean internal interface;
 11442 
 11443 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11444 setting goals_limit);
 11445 
 11446 
 11447 *** Syntax ***
 11448 
 11449 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11450 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11451 
 11452 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11453 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11454 "symbols" syntax table;
 11455 
 11456 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11457 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11458 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11459 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11460 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11461 
 11462 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11463 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11464 version of xterm);
 11465 
 11466 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11467 
 11468 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11469 access type of constant);
 11470 
 11471 
 11472 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11473 
 11474 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11475 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11476   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11477   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11478         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11479   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11480   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11481     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11482   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11483 
 11484 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11485 assumptions;
 11486 
 11487 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11488 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11489 (and access functions for it);
 11490 
 11491 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11492   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11493   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11494     safe steps.
 11495   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11496     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11497     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11498 
 11499 *** Simplifier ***
 11500 
 11501 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11502 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11503 redex);
 11504 
 11505 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11506 
 11507 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11508 
 11509 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11510 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11511 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11512 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11513 
 11514 
 11515 *** HOL ***
 11516 
 11517 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11518 also for type `nat';
 11519 
 11520 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11521 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11522 
 11523 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11524 
 11525 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11526 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11527 
 11528 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11529 
 11530 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11531 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11532 
 11533 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11534 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11535 
 11536 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11537 infinite lists;
 11538 
 11539 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11540 
 11541 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11542 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11543 
 11544 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11545 
 11546 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11547 
 11548 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11549 
 11550 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11551 
 11552 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11553   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11554   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11555   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11556   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11557   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11558   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11559   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11560   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11561 
 11562 
 11563 *** ZF ***
 11564 
 11565 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11566 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11567 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11568 
 11569 
 11570 
 11571 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11572 ---------------------------------
 11573 
 11574 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11575 
 11576 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11577 
 11578 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11579 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11580 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11581 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11582 
 11583 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11584 
 11585 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11586 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11587 
 11588 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11589 
 11590 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11591 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11592 
 11593 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11594 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11595 
 11596 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11597 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11598 
 11599 
 11600 
 11601 New in Isabelle94-6
 11602 -------------------
 11603 
 11604 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11605 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11606 
 11607 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11608 
 11609 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11610 
 11611 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11612 
 11613 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11614 
 11615 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11616 
 11617 
 11618 
 11619 New in Isabelle94-5
 11620 -------------------
 11621 
 11622 * reduced space requirements;
 11623 
 11624 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11625 
 11626 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11627 
 11628 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11629 
 11630 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11631 
 11632 
 11633 
 11634 New in Isabelle94-4
 11635 -------------------
 11636 
 11637 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11638 
 11639 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11640 
 11641 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11642 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11643 
 11644 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11645 Axiom of Choice;
 11646 
 11647 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11648 
 11649 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11650 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11651 
 11652 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11653 
 11654 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11655 translates to the operator "split";
 11656 
 11657 
 11658 
 11659 New in Isabelle94-3
 11660 -------------------
 11661 
 11662 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11663 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11664         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11665 
 11666 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11667 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11668 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11669 
 11670 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11671 
 11672 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11673 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11674 
 11675 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11676 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11677 
 11678 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11679 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11680 
 11681 
 11682 
 11683 New in Isabelle94-2
 11684 -------------------
 11685 
 11686 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11687 
 11688 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11689 freely;
 11690 
 11691 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11692 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11693 
 11694 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11695 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11696 (theory_of_thm);
 11697 
 11698 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11699 
 11700 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11701 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11702 
 11703 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11704 have been removed;
 11705 
 11706 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11707 
 11708 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11709 
 11710 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11711 types;
 11712 
 11713 :mode=isabelle-news:wrap=hard:maxLineLen=72:
