     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
    10 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
    11 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
    12 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
    13 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
    14 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
    15 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
    16 
    17 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
    18 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
    19 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
    20 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
    21 
    22 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
    23 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
    24 
    25 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
    26 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
    27 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
    28 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
    29 dependencies properly.
    30 
    31 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
    32 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
    33 
    34 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
    35 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
    36 
    37 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for
    38 specifications: nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
    39 and "class ... context ...".
    40 
    41 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
    42 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
    43 
    44 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
    45 to name patterns (with clickable results).
    46 
    47 
    48 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    49 
    50 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
    51 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
    52 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
    53 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
    54 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
    55 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
    56 
    57 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
    58 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
    59 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
    60 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
    61 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
    62 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
    63 
    64 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
    65 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
    66 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
    67 that frequently occur in user interaction.
    68 
    69 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
    70 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
    71 
    72 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
    73 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
    74 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
    75 potentially infinite message streams.
    76 
    77 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
    78 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
    79 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
    80 schemes.
    81 
    82 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
    83 symbols.
    84 
    85 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
    86 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
    87 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
    88 
    89 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
    90 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
    91 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS.
    92 
    93 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
    94 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
    95 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
    96 Isabelle distribution.
    97 
    98 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
    99 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   100 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   101 
   102 
   103 *** Pure ***
   104 
   105 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   106 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.  Dropped
   107 legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   108 
   109 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   110 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   111 
   112 * Command "export_code": relative file names are interpreted
   113 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than
   114 the rather arbitrary current working directory.
   115 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   116 
   117 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   118 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   119 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   120 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   121 with some care where this is really required.
   122 
   123 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   124 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   125 given given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   126 
   127   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   128 
   129 
   130 *** HOL ***
   131 
   132 * Removed constant "chars".  Prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   133 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   134 
   135 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from Enum.thy
   136 to List.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   137 
   138 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   139 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   140 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   141 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   142 accordingly.
   143 
   144 * Theory "Library/Multiset":
   145 
   146   - Renamed constants
   147       fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold  -- for coherence with other fold combinators
   148 
   149   - Renamed facts
   150       fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm  -- for coherence with fold_comm
   151 
   152 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   153 
   154 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   155 
   156 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   157 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   158 
   159 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type
   160 to lattice type classes.
   161 
   162 * New combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   163 
   164 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist.
   165 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Related changes are:
   166 
   167   - Renamed constants:
   168 
   169       prefix ~> prefixeq
   170       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   171 
   172     Renamed lemmas accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   173 
   174   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument order
   175     (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped old infix
   176     syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.  Renamed lemmas
   177     accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   178 
   179   - New constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on lists. New
   180     abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case "list_hembeq (op =)".
   181 
   182   - Library/Sublist does no longer provide "order" and "bot" type class
   183     instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   184     interpretations). The type class instances are to be found in
   185     Library/Prefix_Order. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   186 
   187   - The sublist relation from Library/Sublist_Order is now based on
   188     "Sublist.sublisteq". Replaced lemmas:
   189 
   190       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   191       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   192       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   193       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   194       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   195       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   196       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   197       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   198       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   199       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   200       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   201       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   202       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   203       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   204       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   205       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   206 
   207     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   208 
   209 * Further generalized the definition of limits:
   210 
   211   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which expresses that
   212     when the input values x converge to F then the output f x converges to G.
   213 
   214   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative infinity (at_bot).
   215     Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   216 
   217   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :> at_top".
   218     INCOMPATIBILITY
   219 
   220 * HOL/Transitive_Closure: renamed lemmas
   221   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   222   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   223 
   224 * HOL/Rings: renamed lemmas
   225 
   226 left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   227 right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   228 
   229 in class semiring.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   230 
   231 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural
   232 functors with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting
   233 non-free datatypes.
   234 
   235 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals
   236 (supersedes the AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   237 
   238 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis:
   239   Replaced "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real" and
   240   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space" on euclidean spaces by
   241   using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with vectors from the Basis set.
   242   "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is replaced by "SUM i : Basis. f i *r i".
   243 
   244   With this change the following constants are also chanegd or removed:
   245 
   246     DIM('a) :: nat   ~>   card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   247     a $$ i    ~>    inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   248     cart_base i     removed
   249     \<pi>, \<pi>'   removed
   250 
   251   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   252 
   253   Renamed lemmas:
   254 
   255     component_le_norm   ~>   Basis_le_norm
   256     euclidean_eq   ~>   euclidean_eq_iff
   257     differential_zero_maxmin_component   ~>   differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   258     euclidean_simps   ~>   inner_simps
   259     independent_basis   ~>   independent_Basis
   260     span_basis   ~>   span_Basis
   261     in_span_basis   ~>   in_span_Basis
   262     norm_bound_component_le   ~>   norm_boound_Basis_le
   263     norm_bound_component_lt   ~>   norm_boound_Basis_lt
   264     component_le_infnorm   ~>   Basis_le_infnorm
   265 
   266   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   267 
   268 * HOL/Probability:
   269   - Add simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability
   270 
   271   - Add induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint)
   272     and for Borel-measurable functions (borel_measurable_induct).
   273 
   274   - The Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a projective family)
   275 
   276 * Library/Countable_Set.thy: Theory of countable sets.
   277 
   278 * Library/Debug.thy and Library/Parallel.thy: debugging and parallel
   279 execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   280 
   281 * Library/FuncSet.thy: Extended support for Pi and extensional and introduce the
   282 extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaces extensional_funcset by an
   283 abbreviation, rename a couple of lemmas from extensional_funcset to PiE:
   284 
   285       extensional_empty ~> PiE_empty
   286       extensional_funcset_empty_domain ~> PiE_empty_domain
   287       extensional_funcset_empty_range ~> PiE_empty_range
   288       extensional_funcset_arb ~> PiE_arb
   289       extensional_funcset_mem > PiE_mem
   290       extensional_funcset_extend_domainI ~> PiE_fun_upd
   291       extensional_funcset_restrict_domain ~> fun_upd_in_PiE
   292       extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq ~> PiE_insert_eq
   293       card_extensional_funcset ~> card_PiE
   294       finite_extensional_funcset ~> finite_PiE
   295 
   296   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   297 
   298 * Library/FinFun.thy: theory of almost everywhere constant functions
   299 (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as Data").
   300 
   301 * Library/Phantom.thy: generic phantom type to make a type parameter
   302 appear in a constant's type. This alternative to adding TYPE('a) as
   303 another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated code.
   304 
   305 * Library/RBT_Impl.thy: efficient construction of red-black trees 
   306 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   307 return a structurally different tree than before. MINOR INCOMPATIBILITY.
   308 
   309 * Library/IArray.thy: immutable arrays with code generation.
   310 
   311 * Library/Finite_Lattice.thy: theory of finite lattices
   312 
   313 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   314 expressions.
   315 
   316 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   317 pointfree expressions.
   318 
   319 * Quickcheck:
   320 
   321   - added an optimisation for equality premises.
   322     It is switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting
   323     the configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   324 
   325 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   326 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   327 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   328 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".
   329 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   330 
   331 * Sledgehammer:
   332 
   333   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   334     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   335   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   336   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   337   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill".
   338   - Renamed options:
   339       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   340       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   341       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   342       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   343 
   344 
   345 *** Document preparation ***
   346 
   347 * Default for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package, instead of
   348 slightly exotic babel/greek.
   349 
   350 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   351 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   352 document/root.tex.
   353 
   354 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   355 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   356 
   357 
   358 *** ML ***
   359 
   360 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   361 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   362 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   363 
   364 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   365 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   366 necessarily printing visible text.
   367 
   368 
   369 *** System ***
   370 
   371 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   372 instead of 4.
   373 
   374 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   375 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   376 for home-made configurations.
   377 
   378 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   379 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   380 
   381 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   382 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   383 build" tool and its examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   384 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   385 
   386 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   387 
   388 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   389 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   390 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   391 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   392 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   393 
   394 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   395 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   396 
   397   isabelle build -s -b HOLCF
   398 
   399 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   400 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   401 
   402 * The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares session root directories for use
   403 with "isabelle build", similar to former "isabelle mkdir" for
   404 "isabelle usedir".
   405 
   406 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   407 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   408 version of Isabelle.
   409 
   410 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   411 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   412 
   413 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   414 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   415 configuration.
   416 
   417 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   418 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   419 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   420 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   421 bundled as Isabelle component.
   422 
   423 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   424 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   425 
   426 
   427 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   428 ------------------------------
   429 
   430 *** General ***
   431 
   432 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   433 
   434   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   435     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   436   - markup for bound variables
   437   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   438   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   439   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   440     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   441 
   442 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   443 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   444 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   445 
   446 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   447 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   448 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   449 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   450 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   451 
   452   context
   453     fixes x y z :: 'a
   454     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   455   begin
   456 
   457   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   458 
   459   end
   460 
   461   thm my_trans
   462 
   463 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   464 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   465 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   466 
   467 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   468 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   469 
   470 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   471 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   472 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   473 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   474 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   475 
   476 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   477 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   478 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   479 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   480 indices of schematic variables.
   481 
   482 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   483 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   484 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   485 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   486 etc. was exploited.
   487 
   488 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   489 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   490 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   491 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   492 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   493 of the material of that old tutorial.
   494 
   495 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   496 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   497 manual.
   498 
   499 
   500 *** Pure ***
   501 
   502 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   503 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   504 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   505 
   506 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   507 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   508 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   509 undocumented feature.)
   510 
   511 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   512 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   513 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   514 
   515   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   516 
   517   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   518     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   519 
   520 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   521 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   522 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   523 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   524 
   525 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   526 
   527     num ~> num_token
   528     xnum ~> xnum_token
   529     xstr ~> str_token
   530 
   531 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   532 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   533 position information via constraints).
   534 
   535 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   536 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   537 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   538 
   539 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   540 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   541 
   542 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   543 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   544 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   545 
   546 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   547 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   548 
   549 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   550 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   551 
   552   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   553 
   554 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   555 
   556 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   557 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   558 
   559 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
   560 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
   561 legacy since Isabelle2011).
   562 
   563 
   564 *** HOL ***
   565 
   566 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
   567 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
   568 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
   569 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
   570 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
   571 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
   572 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
   573 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
   574 possible.
   575 
   576 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
   577 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
   578 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
   579 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
   580 
   581 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
   582 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   583 
   584 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
   585 
   586 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
   587 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
   588 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
   589 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
   590 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
   591 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
   592 
   593   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
   594     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
   595 
   596   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
   597     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
   598     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
   599 
   600   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
   601     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
   602 
   603   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
   604     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
   605     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
   606 
   607   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
   608     Redefine using other integer operations.
   609 
   610 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
   611 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
   612 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
   613 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
   614 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
   615 
   616   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
   617     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
   618     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
   619     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
   620     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
   621 
   622     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
   623     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
   624 
   625   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
   626     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
   627     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
   628     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
   629     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
   630     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
   631     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
   632     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
   633 
   634   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
   635     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
   636     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
   637     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
   638 
   639   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
   640     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
   641     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
   642     after unfolding the constant definitions.
   643 
   644   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
   645     from type nat to type int.
   646 
   647 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
   648 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
   649 
   650   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
   651     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
   652     type.  Example syntax:
   653 
   654     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
   655       is List.insert
   656 
   657     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
   658     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
   659     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
   660     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
   661     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
   662     by the package.
   663 
   664   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
   665     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
   666     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
   667     code generation for each constant.
   668 
   669   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
   670     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
   671     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
   672     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
   673     lift_definition command to work with the type.
   674 
   675   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
   676     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
   677     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
   678 
   679 * Quotient package:
   680 
   681   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
   682     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
   683 
   684   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
   685     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
   686 
   687   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
   688     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
   689     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
   690 
   691   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
   692     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   693 
   694 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
   695 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
   696 
   697 * Quickcheck:
   698 
   699   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
   700     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
   701     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
   702     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
   703     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
   704 
   705     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
   706     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
   707     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
   708 
   709     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
   710     continues searching for genuine ones.
   711 
   712     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
   713     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
   714     show genuine counterexamples.
   715 
   716   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
   717     value generators for a given type and operations.
   718 
   719     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
   720     constructors of that type.
   721 
   722   - Support for multisets.
   723 
   724   - Added "use_subtype" options.
   725 
   726   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
   727     conjectures in a locale context.
   728 
   729 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
   730 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
   731 
   732 * Sledgehammer:
   733   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
   734     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
   735   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
   736   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
   737     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
   738   - Sped up the minimizer.
   739   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
   740   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
   741   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
   742 
   743 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
   744 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
   745 
   746 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
   747 
   748 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   749 
   750 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
   751 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
   752 
   753   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
   754 
   755 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
   756 a list and a nat.
   757 
   758 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
   759 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
   760 
   761 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
   762 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
   763 default.
   764 
   765 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
   766 
   767   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
   768 
   769 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
   770 
   771 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
   772 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
   773 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
   774 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
   775 one_case.
   776 
   777 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
   778 the result of the fact expression.
   779 
   780 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
   781 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
   782 of some relation theorems:
   783 
   784   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
   785   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   786   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
   787   transp_def ~> transp_trans
   788   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
   789   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
   790 
   791 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
   792 
   793 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
   794 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
   795 
   796 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   797 
   798 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
   799 to match the constant's name:
   800 
   801   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
   802   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
   803   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
   804   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
   805   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
   806   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
   807   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
   808   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
   809   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
   810   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
   811   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
   812   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
   813   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
   814   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
   815   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
   816   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
   817   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
   818   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
   819   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
   820   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
   821   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
   822   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
   823   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
   824   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
   825 
   826 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   827 
   828 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
   829 and corresponding theorem names:
   830 
   831   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
   832 
   833   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
   834 
   835   - Renamed theorems:
   836 
   837     rel_compI ~> relcompI
   838     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
   839     rel_compE ~> relcompE
   840     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
   841     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
   842     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
   843     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
   844     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
   845     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
   846     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
   847     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
   848     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
   849     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   850     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
   851     pred_compI ~> relcomppI
   852     pred_compE ~> relcomppE
   853     pred_comp_bot1 ~> relcompp_bot1
   854     pred_comp_bot2 ~> relcompp_bot2
   855     transp_pred_comp_less_eq ~> transp_relcompp_less_eq
   856     pred_comp_mono ~> relcompp_mono
   857     pred_comp_distrib ~> relcompp_distrib
   858     pred_comp_distrib2 ~> relcompp_distrib2
   859     converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp
   860 
   861     finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp
   862 
   863     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
   864 
   865 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   866 
   867 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
   868 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.

  1238 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1239 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1240 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1241 
  1242 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1243 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1244 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1245 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1246 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1247 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1248 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1249 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1250 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1251 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1252 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1253 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1414 
  1415 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1416 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1417 
  1418 
  1419 *** FOL ***
  1420 
  1421 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1422 
  1423 
  1424 *** ZF ***
  1425 
  1426 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1427 analysis.
  1428 
  1429 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1430 
  1431 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1432 
  1433 
  1434 *** ML ***
  1435 
  1436 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1437 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1438 
  1439 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1440 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1441 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1442 
  1443 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1444 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1445 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1446 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1447 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1448 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1449 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1450 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1451 
  1452 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1453 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1454 
  1455 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1456 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1457 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1458 
  1459 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1460 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1461 
  1462 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1463 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1464 context as well.
  1465 
  1466 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1467 
  1468   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1469   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1470   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  1471   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  1472   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  1473   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  1474   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  1475   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  1476   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1477   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1478   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1479   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1480 
  1481 
  1482 *** System ***
  1483 
  1484 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1485 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1486 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1487 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1488 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1489 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1490 the generic user home was intended.
  1491 
  1492 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1493 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1494 
  1495 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1496 (not just JRE).
  1497

  1500 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1501 ------------------------------------
  1502 
  1503 *** General ***
  1504 
  1505 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1506 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1507 
  1508   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1509     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1510     files for checking).
  1511 
  1512   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1513     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1514     positions.
  1515 
  1516   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1517     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1518     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1519 
  1520   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1521     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1522     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1523 
  1524   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1525     cores.
  1526 
  1527   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1528     versions (garbage collection).
  1529 
  1530 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1531 including some remaining limitations.
  1532 
  1533 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1534 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1535 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1536 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1537 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1538 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1539 
  1540 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1541 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1542 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1543 
  1544 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1545 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1546 usedir option -Q.
  1547 
  1548 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1549 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1550 
  1551   long_names   ~> names_long
  1552   short_names  ~> names_short
  1553   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1554 
  1555 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1556 
  1557   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1558 
  1559 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  1560 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  1561 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  1562 
  1563 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  1564 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  1565 
  1566 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  1567   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  1568   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  1569   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  1570     "Classical Reasoner".
  1571 
  1572 
  1573 *** HOL ***
  1574 
  1575 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  1576 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1577 
  1578 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  1579 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  1580 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  1581 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  1582 class complete_linorder.
  1583 
  1584 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  1585 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  1586 
  1587 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  1588 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  1589 
  1590   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  1591   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  1592   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1593   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1594   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1595   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1596   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  1597   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  1598   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  1599   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  1600   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  1601 
  1602 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  1603 
  1604   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  1605   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def

  1621 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1622 
  1623 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  1624 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1625 
  1626 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  1627 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  1628 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  1629 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1630 
  1631 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  1632 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  1633 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  1634 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1635 
  1636 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  1637 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  1638 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  1639 
  1640 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  1641 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  1642 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1643 
  1644 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  1645 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  1646 
  1647 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  1648 
  1649     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  1650     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  1651 
  1652 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  1653 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1654 
  1655 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  1656 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1657 
  1658 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  1659 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  1660 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  1661 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1757 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  1758 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  1759 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  1760 
  1761 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  1762 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  1763 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  1764 
  1765 * Code generation:
  1766 
  1767   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  1768     characters in the target language.
  1769 
  1770   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  1771     instead.
  1772 
  1773   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  1774 
  1775   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  1776     reactivated by the following theory command:
  1777 
  1778       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  1779 
  1780 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1781 
  1782 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  1783 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  1784 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  1785 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  1786 syntax.
  1787 
  1788 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  1789 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  1790 
  1791 * Nitpick:
  1792   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  1793   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  1794   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  1795     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1796 
  1797 * Sledgehammer:
  1798   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  1799   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  1800     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  1801   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  1802     this can be done within reasonable time.
  1803   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  1804     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1805   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  1806     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  1807   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  1808     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1809 
  1810 * Metis:
  1811   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1812   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  1813     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1814 
  1815 * Command 'try':
  1816   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  1817     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1818   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  1819     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  1820 
  1821 * Quickcheck:
  1822   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  1823     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1824   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  1825     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1826   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  1827     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  1828     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  1829     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  1830   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  1831     (formly in HOL/Library).
  1832 
  1833 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1834 use 'partial_function' instead.
  1835 
  1836 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  1837 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  1838 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  1839 
  1840 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  1841 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  1842 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1843 
  1844 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  1845 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1846 
  1847 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  1848 arithmetic.
  1849 
  1850 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  1851 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  1852 and lattice type classes.
  1853 
  1854 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  1855 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  1856 
  1857 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  1858 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  1859 
  1860 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  1861 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  1862 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1863 
  1864   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  1865   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  1866   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  1867   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  1868 
  1869 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  1870 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  1871 constants:
  1872 
  1873   type inat   ~> type enat
  1874   Fin         ~> enat
  1875   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  1876   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  1877   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  1878 
  1879 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  1880 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1881 
  1882 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  1883 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  1884 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  1885 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  1886 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  1887 
  1888 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  1889 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  1890 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  1891 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  1892 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  1893 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  1894 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  1895 
  1896   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  1897   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  1898   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  1899   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  1900 
  1901 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  1902 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  1903 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1957 * Session HOL-Probability:
  1958   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  1959   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  1960   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  1961   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended

  2020 *** ML ***
  2021 
  2022 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2023 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2024 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2025 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2026 under external program control.
  2027 
  2028 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2029 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2030 
  2031 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2032 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2033 (better known as Proof General).
  2034 
  2035 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2036 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2037 
  2038 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2039 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2040 
  2041 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2042 (including quotes etc.).
  2043 
  2044 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2045 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2046 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2047 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2048 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2049 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2050 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2051 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2052 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2053 
  2054 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2055 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2056 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2057 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2058 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2059 
  2060 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2061 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2062 
  2063 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2064 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2065 
  2066 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2067 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2068 
  2069 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2070 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2071 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2072 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2073 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2074 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2075 proper Proof.context.
  2076 
  2077 
  2078 *** System ***
  2079 
  2080 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2081 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2082 
  2083 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2084 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2085 
  2086 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2087 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2088 
  2089   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2090   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2091   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2092   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2093   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2094 
  2095 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2096 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2097 
  2098 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2099 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2100 example:
  2101 
  2102   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2103 
  2104 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2105 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2106 
  2107 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2108 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2109 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2110 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2111 
  2112 
  2113 
  2114 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2115 ----------------------------------
  2116 
  2117 *** General ***
  2118 
  2119 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2120 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2121 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2122 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2123 like this:
  2124 
  2125   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2126 
  2127 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2128 
  2129 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2130 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2131 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2132 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2133 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2134 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2135 
  2136 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2137 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2138 the following package declarations:
  2139 
  2140   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2141   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2142 
  2143 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2144 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2145 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2146 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2147 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2148 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2149 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2150 
  2151 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2152 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2153 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2154 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2155 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2156 
  2157 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2158 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2159 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2160 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2161 
  2162 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2163 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2164 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2165 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2166 
  2167   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2175   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  2176 
  2177   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  2178   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  2179   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2180 
  2181   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2182   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2183 
  2184   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2185 
  2186   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  2187   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  2188   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2189   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2190   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2191 
  2192 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2193 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2194 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2195 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2196 
  2197 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2199 
  2200   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2201   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2202 
  2203 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2204 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2205 float_token.
  2206 
  2207 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2208 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2209 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2210 
  2211 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2212 DejaVu Sans.
  2213 
  2214 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2215 
  2216 
  2217 *** Pure ***
  2218 
  2219 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2220 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2221 time.
  2222 
  2223 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2224 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2225 
  2226 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2227 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2228 
  2229 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2230 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2231 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2232 command already provided this functionality.
  2233 
  2234 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2235 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2236 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2237 without interpretations.
  2238 
  2239 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2240 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2241 
  2242 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2243 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2244 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2245 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2246 
  2247 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2248 'definition' instead.
  2249 
  2250 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2251 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2252 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2253 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2254 
  2255 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2256 constructors.
  2257 
  2258 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2259 the local file system.
  2260 
  2261 
  2262 *** HOL ***
  2263 
  2264 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2265 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2266 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2267 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2268 
  2269   declare [[coercion f]]
  2270 
  2271 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2272 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2273 
  2274   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2275 
  2276 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2277 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2278 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2279 other theories like this:
  2280 
  2281   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2282 
  2283 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2284 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2285 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2286 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2287 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2288 for examples.
  2289 
  2290 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2291 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2292 
  2293 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2294 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2295 
  2296 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2297 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2298 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2299 
  2300 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2301 functorial structure of types.
  2302 
  2303 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2304 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2305 
  2306 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2307 languages.
  2308 
  2309 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2310 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2311 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2312 
  2313 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2314 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2315 
  2316 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2317 combinators any longer.
  2318 
  2319 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2320 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2321 
  2322 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2323 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2324 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2325 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2326 
  2327   record 'a foo = ...
  2328   ...
  2329   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2330 
  2331 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2332 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2333 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2334 
  2335 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2336 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2337 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2338 
  2339 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2340 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2341 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2342 
  2343 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2344 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2345 
  2346 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2347 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2348 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2349 independently.
  2350 
  2351 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2352 counter example search.
  2353 
  2354 * Sledgehammer:
  2355   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2356     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2357     sledgehammer").
  2358   - Renamed commands:
  2359     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2360     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2361     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2362     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2363   - Renamed options:
  2364     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2365     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2366     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2367     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2368     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2369 
  2370 * Nitpick:
  2371   - Renamed options:
  2372     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2373     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2374     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2375   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2376   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2377   - Added "whack" option.
  2378   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2379   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2380   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2381   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2382     higher cardinalities.
  2383   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2384 
  2385 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2386 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2387 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2388 
  2389     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2390 
  2391 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2392 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2393 
  2394 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2395 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2396 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2397 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2398 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2399 "smt_solver".
  2400 
  2401 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2402 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2403 
  2404 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2405 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2406 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2407 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2408 
  2409 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2410   - Renamed:
  2411     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2412     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2413     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2414   - Added:
  2415     smt_verbose
  2416     smt_random_seed
  2417     smt_datatypes
  2418     smt_infer_triggers
  2419     smt_monomorph_limit
  2420     cvc3_options
  2421     remote_cvc3_options
  2422     remote_z3_options
  2423     yices_options
  2424 
  2425 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2426 header.
  2427 
  2428 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2429 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2430 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2431 
  2432   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2433 
  2434 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2435 
  2436 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2437 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2438 
  2439 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2440 
  2441 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2442 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2443 
  2444 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2445 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2446 
  2447 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2448 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2449 
  2450 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2451 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2452 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2453 
  2454 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2455 
  2456 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2457 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2458 
  2459 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2460 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2461 
  2462 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2463 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2464 for congruent(2)).
  2465 
  2466 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2467 
  2468   types
  2469     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2470     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2471 
  2472   constants
  2473     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  2474     True ~> HOL.True
  2475     False ~> HOL.False

  2497 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2498 
  2499 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2500 
  2501     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2502     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2503     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def

  2508     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2509 
  2510 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2511 
  2512 * More stylized fact names:
  2513 
  2514   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2515   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2516   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2517   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2518 
  2519 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2520 
  2521 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2522 
  2523   constants
  2524     null ~> List.null
  2525 
  2526   facts
  2527     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2528     null_empty ~> null_def
  2529 
  2530 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2531 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2532 generation.
  2533 
  2534 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2535 Haskell code.
  2536 
  2537 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2538 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2539 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2540 
  2541 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2542 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2543 
  2544 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2545 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2546 
  2547 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2548 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2549 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2550 
  2551 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2552 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2553 
  2554 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2555 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2556 
  2557 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2558 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2559 referred to by its qualified name.
  2560 
  2561   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  2562   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  2563   product ~>  Enum.product
  2564 
  2565 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  2566 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  2567 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2568 
  2569 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  2570 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  2571 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  2572 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2573 
  2574 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  2575 sort_key.
  2576 
  2577 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  2578 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2579 
  2580 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  2581 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  2582 instead of finite cartesian products.
  2583 
  2584   types
  2585     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  2586               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  2587               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  2588         (depends on your needs)
  2589 
  2590   constants
  2591      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  2592      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  2593      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  2594 
  2595 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  2596 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  2597 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  2598 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2599 
  2600 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  2601 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  2602 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  2603 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  2604 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2605 
  2606 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  2607 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2608 
  2609 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  2610 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  2611 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  2612 
  2613 
  2614 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  2615 
  2616 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  2617 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  2618 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  2619 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  2620 compatibility.
  2621 
  2622 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  2623 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  2624 
  2625 
  2626 *** HOLCF ***
  2627 
  2628 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  2629 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  2630 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  2631 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2632 
  2633 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  2634 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  2635 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2636 
  2637   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  2638   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  2639   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  2640 
  2641 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  2642 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  2643 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2644 
  2645 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  2646 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  2647 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  2648 domain definition now works:
  2649 
  2650   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  2651 
  2652 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  2653 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  2654 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  2655 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  2656 
  2657   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  2658     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  2659 
  2660   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  2661 
  2662 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  2663 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  2664 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2665 
  2666 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  2667 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2668 
  2669 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  2670 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  2671 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  2672 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  2673 
  2674 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  2675 
  2676 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2677 
  2678 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2679 
  2680 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  2681 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2682 
  2683 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  2684 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  2685 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  2686 
  2687 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  2688 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  2689 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2690 
  2691 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  2692 still supported as an input translation.
  2693 
  2694 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  2695 
  2696   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  2697   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  2698   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  2699   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  2700   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  2701   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  2702   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  2703 
  2704 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  2705 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2706 
  2707   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  2708   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  2709   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  2710   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  2711   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  2712   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  2713 
  2714 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  2715 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2716 
  2717 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  2718 
  2719   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  2720   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  2721   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  2722   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  2723 
  2724 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2725 
  2726 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  2727 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2728 
  2729 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  2730 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2800 
  2801 
  2802 *** FOL and ZF ***
  2803 
  2804 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  2805 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2806 
  2807 
  2808 *** ML ***
  2809 
  2810 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  2811 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  2812 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  2813 
  2814 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  2815 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  2816 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  2817 
  2818 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  2819 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  2820 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  2821 
  2822 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  2823 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  2824 
  2825 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  2826 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  2827 
  2828 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  2829 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  2830 
  2831 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  2832 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  2833 
  2834 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  2835 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  2836 almost all situations.
  2837 
  2838 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  2839 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  2840 Isabelle/ML.
  2841 
  2842 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  2843 meaning.
  2844 
  2845 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  2846 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  2847 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  2848 
  2849 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  2850 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  2851 
  2852 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  2853 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  2854 
  2855 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  2856 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  2857 @{thms} for most purposes.
  2858 
  2859 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  2860 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  2861 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  2862 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  2863 configuration options.
  2864 
  2865 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  2866 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  2867 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  2868 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  2869 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  2870 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  2871 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  2874 
  2875 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  2876 ---------------------------------
  2877 
  2878 *** General ***
  2879 
  2880 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  2881 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  2882 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  2883 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  2884 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  2885 their full internal name.
  2886 
  2887 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  2888 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  2889 Some hints on upgrading:
  2890 
  2891   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  2892     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  2893     which are independent of this issue.
  2894 
  2895   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  2896     provides the following special forms:
  2897 
  2898       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  2899       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  2900       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  2901 
  2902     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  2903     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  2904     extra variables".
  2905 
  2906     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  2907     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  2908     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  2909     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  2910     "logic".
  2911 
  2912   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  2913     antiquotations:
  2914 
  2915       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  2916       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  2917       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  2918       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  2919 
  2920   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  2921     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  2922     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  2923     antiquotations.
  2924 
  2925 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  2926 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  2927 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  2928 diagnose syntax problems.
  2929 
  2930 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  2931 
  2932 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  2933 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  2934 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  2935 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  2936 
  2937 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  2938 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  2939 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  2940 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2941 
  2942 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  2943 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  2944 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  2945 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  2946 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2947 
  2948 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  2949 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  2950 
  2951 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  2952 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  2953 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  2954 
  2955   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  2956 
  2957 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  2958 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  2959 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  2960 
  2961 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  2962 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  2963 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2964 
  2965 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  2966 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  2967 
  2968 
  2969 *** Pure ***
  2970 
  2971 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  2972 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  2973 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  2974 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  2975 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  2976 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  2977 inspect proof terms.
  2978 
  2979 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  2980 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  2981 are added internally.  For example:
  2982 
  2983   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  2984 
  2985 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  2986 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2987 
  2988 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2989 
  2990 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2991 'class' instead.
  2992 
  2993 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  2994 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  2995 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2996 
  2997 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  2998 invariants.
  2999 
  3000 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3001 user space functionality any longer.
  3002 
  3003 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3004 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3005 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3006 
  3007 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3008 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3009 
  3010 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3011 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3012 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3013 
  3014 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3015 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3016 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3017 
  3018 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3019 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3020 
  3021 
  3022 *** HOL ***
  3023 
  3024 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3025 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3026 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3027 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3028 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3029 
  3030 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3031 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3032 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3033 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3034 
  3035   fun
  3036     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3037   where
  3038     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3039 
  3040   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3041     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3042 
  3043   quotient_definition
  3044     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3045 
  3046 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3047 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3048 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3049 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3050 
  3051 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3052 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3053 
  3054 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3055 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3056 
  3057 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3058 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3059 
  3060 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3061 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3062 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3063 
  3064 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3065 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3066 
  3067 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3068 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3069 
  3070 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3071 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3072 
  3073 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3074 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3075 
  3076 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3077 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3078 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3110 
  3111 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3112 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3113 
  3114 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3115 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3116 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3117 
  3118 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3119 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3120 
  3121 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3122 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3123 
  3124 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3125 
  3126 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3127 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3128 
  3129 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3130 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3131 
  3132 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3133 
  3134 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3135 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3136 
  3137 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3138 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3139 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3140 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3141 
  3142 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3143   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3144   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3145   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3146 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3147 
  3148 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3149 lattices):
  3150 
  3151     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3187     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  3188 
  3189   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3190   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3191 
  3192     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3193     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3194     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3195     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3196     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3197 
  3198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3199 
  3200 * Refined field classes:
  3201   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3202     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3203     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3204   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3206 
  3207 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3208   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3209   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3210   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3211     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3212   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3213     equal_neg_zero.
  3214 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3215 
  3216 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3217 sets to lattices:
  3218 
  3219   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3220   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3221   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3222   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup

  3228   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3229 
  3230 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3231 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3232 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3233 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3234 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3235 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3236 
  3237 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3238 multiset order:
  3239 
  3240   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3241     <= and <;
  3242   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3243     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3244     multiset_order;
  3245   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3246     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3247     generation;
  3248   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3249     if needed.
  3250 
  3251 Renamed:
  3252 
  3253   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3254   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3255   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3256 
  3257 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3258 
  3259 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3260 
  3261 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3262 
  3263 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3264 
  3265 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3266 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3267 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3268 
  3269   Constants:

  3298 
  3299 * Sledgehammer:
  3300   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3301     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3302     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3303     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3304     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3305     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3306     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3307   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3308   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3309     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3310   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3311     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3312     is still experimental.)
  3313   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3314     full-typed mode.
  3315   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3316 
  3317 * Nitpick:
  3318   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3319   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3320   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3321     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3322   - Added support for quotient types.
  3323   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3324     constructs.
  3325   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3326     "termination" proofs).
  3327   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3328   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3329   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3330   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3331     record getters.
  3332   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3333   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3334   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3335   - Added "atoms" option.
  3336   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3337     problems.
  3338   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3339     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3340     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3341   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3342     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3343   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3344 
  3345 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3346   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3347   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3348   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3349   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3350   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3351   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3352   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3353   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3354   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3355 
  3356 
  3357 *** HOLCF ***
  3358 
  3359 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3360 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3361 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3362 
  3363 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3364 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3365 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3366 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3367 
  3368 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3369 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3370 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3371 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3372 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3373 
  3374 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3375 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3376 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3377 
  3378 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3379 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3380 
  3381   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3382   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3383 
  3384 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3385 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3386 
  3387   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3388   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3389   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3390   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3391   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3392 
  3393 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3394 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3395 
  3396   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3397   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3398   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3399 
  3400 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3401 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3402 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3403 
  3404 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3405 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3406 
  3407 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3408 
  3409 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3410 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3411 
  3412 
  3413 *** ML ***
  3414 
  3415 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3416 
  3417     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3418     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3419 
  3420     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3421     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3422     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3423     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3424 
  3425     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3426     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3427     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3428 
  3429 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3430 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3431 
  3432 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3433 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3434 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3435 
  3436 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3437 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3438 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3439 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3440 
  3441 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3442 the context or even global references.
  3443 
  3444 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3445 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3446 
  3447 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3448 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3449 
  3450   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3451   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3452   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3453   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3454   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3455   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3456   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3457   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3458   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3459   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3460 
  3461 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3462 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3463 
  3464 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3465 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3466 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3467 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3468 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3469 
  3470 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3471 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3472 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3473 Theory_Data version.
  3474 
  3475 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3476 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3477 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3478 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3479 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3480 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3481 explicitly in rare situations.
  3482 
  3483 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3484 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3485 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3486 
  3487 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3488 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3489 
  3490 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3491 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3492 quite rare).
  3493 
  3494 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3495 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3496 
  3497 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3498 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3499 terms.
  3500 
  3501 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3502 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3503 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3504 
  3505 
  3506 *** System ***
  3507 
  3508 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3509 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3510 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3511 
  3512 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3513 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3514 respectively.
  3515 
  3516 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3517 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3518 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3519 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3520 
  3521   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3522 
  3523 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3524 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3525 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3526 component.
  3527 
  3528 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3529 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3530 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3531 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3532 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3533 the user for manual installation.
  3534 
  3535 
  3536 
  3537 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3538 -------------------------------------
  3539 
  3540 *** General ***
  3541 
  3542 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3543 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3544 
  3545 
  3546 *** Pure ***
  3547 
  3548 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3549 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3550 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3551 
  3552 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3553 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3554 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3555 
  3556 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3557 interpretation.
  3558 
  3559 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  3560 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3561 
  3562 
  3563 *** Document preparation ***
  3564 
  3565 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  3566 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  3567 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  3568 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  3569 
  3570 
  3571 *** HOL ***
  3572 
  3573 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  3574 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  3575 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  3576 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  3577 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  3578 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  3579 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  3580 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  3581 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  3582 
  3583 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  3584 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  3585 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  3586 
  3587 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  3588 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  3589 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  3590 
  3591 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  3592 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  3593 
  3594 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  3595 
  3596 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  3597 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  3598 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  3599 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  3600 
  3601 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  3602 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  3603 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  3604 "mirabelle" utility.
  3605 
  3606 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  3607 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  3608 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  3609 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  3610 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  3611 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  3612 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  3613 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  3614 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  3615 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  3616 
  3617 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  3618 procedure only.
  3619 
  3620 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  3621 
  3622 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  3623 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  3624 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  3625 that fail later.
  3626 
  3627 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  3628 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  3629 
  3630 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  3631 the same method as the approximation method.
  3632 
  3633 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  3634 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  3635 series expansion.
  3636 
  3637 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  3638 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  3639 
  3640 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  3641 reals.
  3642 
  3643 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  3644 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  3645 
  3646 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  3647 fixpoint theorem.
  3648 
  3649 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3650   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  3651     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  3652   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  3653     accordingly
  3654   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  3655     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  3656   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  3657     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  3658 
  3659 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  3660 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  3661 lattice.
  3662 
  3663 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  3664 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  3665 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  3666 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  3667 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  3668 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  3669 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3670 
  3671 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  3672   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  3673     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  3674   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  3675     le_inf_iff
  3676   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  3677     sup_aci)
  3678   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  3679   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  3680   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  3681     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  3682     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  3683     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  3684     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  3685     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  3686     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR

  3691   - authentic syntax for
  3692     Set.Pow
  3693     Set.image
  3694   - mere abbreviations:
  3695     Set.empty               (for bot)
  3696     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  3697     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  3698     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  3699     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  3700     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  3701     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  3702     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  3703   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  3704 
  3705 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  3706 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  3707 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  3708 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  3709 
  3710 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  3711 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  3712 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3713 
  3714 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  3715 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3716 
  3717 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  3718 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  3719 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  3720 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3721 
  3722 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  3723 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3724 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  3725 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  3726 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  3727 
  3728 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  3729 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  3730 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3731 
  3732 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  3733 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3734 
  3735 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  3736 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  3737 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  3738 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  3739 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  3740 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  3741 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  3742 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3743 
  3744 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  3745     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  3746     code_post       replaces    code post
  3747     etc.
  3748   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3749 
  3750 * Renamed methods:
  3751     sizechange -> size_change
  3752     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  3753   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3754 
  3755 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  3756 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  3757 
  3758 * Renamed theorems:
  3759     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3760     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  3761     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3762     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  3763     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  3764   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3765 
  3766 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  3767 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3768 
  3769 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  3770 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3771 
  3772 
  3773 *** HOLCF ***
  3774 
  3775 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  3776 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  3777 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  3778 
  3779 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  3780 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  3781 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  3782 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  3783 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  3784 
  3785 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  3786 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  3787 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  3788 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  3789 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  3790 
  3791 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  3792 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  3793 constructor are pre-configured.
  3794 
  3795 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  3796 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  3797 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  3798 
  3799 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  3800 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  3801 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  3802 as well.)
  3803 
  3804 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  3805 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  3806 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  3807 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  3808 examples.
  3809 
  3810 
  3811 *** ML ***
  3812 
  3813 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  3814 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  3815 
  3816 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  3817 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  3818 position, logical grouping etc.
  3819 
  3820 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  3821 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  3822 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  3823 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  3824 
  3825 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  3826 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  3827 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  3828 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  3829 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  3830 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  3831 
  3832 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  3833 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  3834 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  3835 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  3836 experiments with references.
  3837 
  3838 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  3839 parallel tactical reasoning.
  3840 
  3841 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  3842 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  3843 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  3844 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  3845 
  3846 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  3847 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  3848 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  3849 
  3850 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  3851 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  3852 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3853 
  3854 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3855 
  3856 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  3857 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3858 
  3859 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  3860 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  3861 
  3862 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  3863 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  3864 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  3865 
  3866 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  3867 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  3868 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3869 
  3870 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  3871 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  3872 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  3873 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3874 
  3875 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3876 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  3877 instead of global theory.
  3878 
  3879 
  3880 *** System ***
  3881 
  3882 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  3883 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  3884 usedir option -q.
  3885 
  3886 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  3887 also the system manual.
  3888 
  3889 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  3890 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  3891 
  3892 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  3893 this is always enabled.
  3894 
  3895 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  3896 
  3897 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  3898 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  3899 currently supported on Linux only.
  3900 
  3901 
  3902 
  3903 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  3904 --------------------------------
  3905 
  3906 *** General ***
  3907 
  3908 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  3909 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3910 
  3911   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  3912     "isatool."
  3913 
  3914   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  3915     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  3916 
  3917   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  3918     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  3919 
  3920 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  3921 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  3922 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  3923 
  3924 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  3925 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  3926 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  3927 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  3928 via "isabelle emacs".
  3929 
  3930 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  3931 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  3932 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  3933 
  3934 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  3935 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  3936 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3937 
  3938 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  3939 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  3940 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  3941 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  3942 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  3943 
  3944 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  3945 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  3946 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  3947 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  3948 
  3949 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  3950 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  3951 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  3952 
  3953 
  3954 *** Pure ***
  3955 
  3956 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  3957 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  3958 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  3959 
  3960 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  3961 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  3962 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  3963 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  3964 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  3965 
  3966 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  3967 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  3968 useful in locale declarations.
  3969 
  3970 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  3971 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  3972 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  3973 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  3974 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  3975 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  3976 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  3977 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  3978 no longer generated.
  3979 
  3980 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  3981 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  3982 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  3983 
  3984 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  3985 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  3986 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  3987 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  3988 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  3989 
  3990 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3991 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  3992 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  3993 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  3994 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  3995 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  3996 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  3997 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  3998 
  3999 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4000 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4001 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4002 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4003 
  4004 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4005 
  4006 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4007 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4008 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4009 
  4010 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4011 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4012 
  4013 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4014 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4015 in HOL, write
  4016 
  4017     class foo = ...
  4018 
  4019 instead of
  4020 
  4021     class foo = type + ...
  4022 
  4023 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4024 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4025 
  4026 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4027 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4028 
  4029 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4030 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4031 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4032 
  4033 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4034 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4035 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4036 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4037 directly in regular applications.
  4038 
  4039 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4040 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4041 
  4042 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4043 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4044 
  4045 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4046 theory context.
  4047 
  4048 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4049 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4050 
  4051 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4052 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4053 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4054 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4055 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4056 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4057 
  4058   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4059 
  4060 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4061 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4062 normalization.
  4063 
  4064 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4065 addressing etc.
  4066 
  4067 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4068 
  4069   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4070   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4071 
  4072 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4073 
  4074   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4075      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4076      parts of the code generator framework).
  4077 
  4078   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4079      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4080      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4081 
  4082 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4083 
  4084 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4085 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4086 
  4087 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4088 patterns, e.g.
  4089 
  4090     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4091 
  4092 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4093 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4094 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4095 hyphen:
  4096 
  4097     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4098 
  4099 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4100 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4101 
  4102 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4103 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4104 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4105 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4106 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4107 higher-order unification.
  4108 
  4109 
  4110 *** Document preparation ***
  4111 
  4112 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4113 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4114 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4115 
  4116 
  4117 *** HOL ***
  4118 
  4119 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4120 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4121 
  4122 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4123 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4124 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4125 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4126 Main, as before.
  4127 
  4128 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4129 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4130 
  4131 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4132 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4133 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4134 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4135 
  4136 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4137 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4138 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4139 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4140 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4141 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4142 
  4143 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4144 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4145 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4146 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4147 
  4148 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4149 menu.
  4150 
  4151 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4152 (contains the empty clause).
  4153 
  4154 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4155 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4156 
  4157 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4158 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4159 
  4160 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4161 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4162 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4163 
  4164 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4165 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4166 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4167 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4168 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4169 
  4170 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4171 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4172 
  4173 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4174 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4175 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4176 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4177 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4178 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4179 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4180 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4181 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4182 
  4183 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4184 
  4185 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4186 
  4187 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4188 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4189 
  4190 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4191 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4192 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4193 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4194 
  4195 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4196 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4197 
  4198     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4199     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4200     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4201     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4202     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4203     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4204     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4205     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4206 
  4207 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4208 theory Set.
  4209 
  4210 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4211 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4212 
  4213 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4214 
  4215 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4216 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4217 
  4218 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4219 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4220 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4221 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4222 allowed. For examples see
  4223 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4224 
  4225 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4226 
  4227 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4228 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4229 
  4230 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4231 structure:

  4284 
  4285 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4286 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4287 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4288 
  4289 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4290 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4291 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4292 
  4293 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4294 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4295 
  4296 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4297 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4298 
  4299 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4300 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4301 proofs, e.g.
  4302 
  4303   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4304 
  4305 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4306 
  4307 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4308 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4309 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4310 
  4311 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4312 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4313 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4314 
  4315 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4316 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4317 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4318 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4319 
  4320 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4321 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4322 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4323 preorder_class.*.
  4324 
  4325 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4326 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4327 
  4328 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4329 
  4330   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4331 
  4332 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4333 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4334 fold_image.
  4335 
  4336 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4337 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4338 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4339 the former will disappear at some point.
  4340 
  4341 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4342 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4343 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4344 
  4345 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4346 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4347 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4348 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4349 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4350 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4351 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4352 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4353 
  4354 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4355 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4356 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4357 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4358 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4359 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4360 
  4361     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4362     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4363     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4364     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4365     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4366     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4367     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4368 
  4369 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4370 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4371 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4372 
  4373 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4374 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4375 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4376 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4377 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4378 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4379 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4380 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4381 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4382 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4383 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4384 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4385 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4386 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4387 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4388 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4389 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4390 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4391 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4392 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4393 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4394 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4395 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4396 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4397 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4398 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4399 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4400 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4401 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4402 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4403 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4404 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4405 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4406 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4407 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4408 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4409 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4410 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4411 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4412 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4413 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4414 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4415 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4416 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4417 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4418 
  4419 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4420 
  4421 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4422 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4423 
  4424 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4425 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4426 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4427 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4428 
  4429 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4430 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4431 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4432 theory RealVector.
  4433 
  4434 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4435 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4436 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4437 and inner products are included.
  4438 
  4439 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4440 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4441 supported.
  4442 
  4443 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4444 first diagonalization argument.
  4445 
  4446 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4447 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4448 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4449 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4450 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4451 
  4452     hide (open) const gcd
  4453     abbreviation gcd where
  4454       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4455     notation (output)
  4456       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4457 
  4458 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4459 
  4460 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4461 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4462 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4463 
  4464 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4465 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4466 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4467 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4468 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4469 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4470 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4471 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4472 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4473 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4474 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4475 cases.
  4476 
  4477 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4478 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4479 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4480 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4481 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4482 
  4483     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4484     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4485     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4486     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4487     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4488 
  4489 
  4490 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4491 
  4492 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4493 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4494 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4495 
  4496 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4497 
  4498 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4499 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4500 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4501 
  4502 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4503 
  4504 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4505 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4506 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4507 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4508 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4509 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4510 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4511 
  4512 
  4513 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4514 
  4515 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4516 
  4517 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4518 theory targets.
  4519 
  4520 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4521 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4522 'inductive' etc.
  4523 
  4524 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4525 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4526 
  4527 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4528 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4529 
  4530 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4531 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4532 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4533 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4534 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4535 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4536 the algorithm W:
  4537 
  4538  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4539  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4540          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4541 
  4542 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4543 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4544 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4545 
  4546 
  4547 *** HOLCF ***
  4548 
  4549 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4550 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4551 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4552 
  4553 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4554 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4555 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4556 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4557 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4558 
  4559 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  4560 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4561 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4562 
  4563 
  4564 *** ZF ***
  4565 
  4566 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  4567 
  4568 
  4569 *** ML ***
  4570 
  4571 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  4572 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  4573 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  4574 5.2.1!
  4575 
  4576 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  4577 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  4578 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  4579 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  4580 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  4581 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  4582 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4583 
  4584 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  4585 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  4586 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  4587 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  4588 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  4589 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  4590 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4591 
  4592 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  4593 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  4594 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  4595 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  4596 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4597 
  4598 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  4599 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  4600 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  4601 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  4602 Method.add_method.
  4603 
  4604 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  4605 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  4606 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  4607 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  4608 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  4609 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  4610 
  4611 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  4612 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  4613 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  4614 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  4615 examples.
  4616 
  4617 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  4618 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  4619 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  4620 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  4621 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  4622 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  4623 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  4624 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  4625 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  4626 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  4627 
  4628 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  4629 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  4630 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  4631 
  4632 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  4633 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  4634 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  4635 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  4636 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  4637 resort for legacy applications.
  4638 
  4639 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  4640 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  4641 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  4642 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  4643 explicit runtime argument.
  4644 
  4645 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  4646 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  4647 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  4648 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  4649 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4650 
  4651 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  4652 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  4653 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  4654 theory state.
  4655 
  4656 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  4657 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  4658 
  4659   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  4660   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  4661   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  4662   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  4663   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  4664   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  4665   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  4666   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  4667   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  4668   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  4669 
  4670 
  4671 *** System ***
  4672 
  4673 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  4674 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  4675 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  4676 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  4677 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  4678 
  4679 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  4680 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  4681 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  4682 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  4683 
  4684 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  4685 
  4686 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  4687 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  4688 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  4689 prover operations.
  4690 
  4691 
  4692 
  4693 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  4694 -------------------------------
  4695 
  4696 *** General ***
  4697 
  4698 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  4699 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  4700 
  4701 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  4702 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  4703 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  4704 provides a proper context already.
  4705 
  4706 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4707 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  4708 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  4709 
  4710 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  4711 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  4712 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  4713 swap theory imports.
  4714 
  4715 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  4716 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  4717 
  4718 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  4719 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4720 white space without escapes.
  4721 
  4722 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  4723 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  4724 "foo_bar".
  4725 
  4726 
  4727 *** Pure ***
  4728 
  4729 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  4730 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  4731 
  4732 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  4733 There are three ways of invoking it:
  4734 
  4735 (1) unused_thms
  4736      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  4737 
  4738 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  4739      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  4740      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  4741 
  4742 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  4743      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  4744      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  4745      their ancestors.
  4746 
  4747 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  4748 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  4749 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  4750 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  4751 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  4752 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  4753 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  4754 
  4755 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  4756 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  4757 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  4758 
  4759 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  4760 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  4761 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  4762 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  4763 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  4764 
  4765 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  4766 
  4767 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  4768 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  4769 update of theories within ML code.
  4770 
  4771 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  4772 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  4773 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  4774 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  4775 
  4776 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  4777 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  4778 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  4779 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4780 
  4781 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  4782 
  4783 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  4784 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  4785 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  4786 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  4787 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  4788 
  4789 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  4790 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  4791 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  4792 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  4793 situations.
  4794 
  4795 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  4796 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  4797 proof text.
  4798 
  4799 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  4800 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  4801 
  4802 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  4803 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  4804 predicates.
  4805 
  4806 
  4807 *** Document preparation ***
  4808 
  4809 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  4810 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  4811 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  4812 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  4813 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  4814 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  4815 
  4816 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  4817 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  4818 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  4819 
  4820 
  4821 *** HOL ***
  4822 
  4823 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  4824 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  4825 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  4826 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  4827 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  4828 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  4829 
  4830 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  4831 with multithreading.
  4832 
  4833 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  4834 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  4835 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  4836 
  4837 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  4838 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  4839 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  4840 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4841 
  4842 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  4843 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  4844 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  4845 and makes them available separately.  See
  4846 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  4847 
  4848 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  4849 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  4850 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  4851 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  4852 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  4853 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  4854 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  4855 the declared rules.
  4856 
  4857 This setup also deals with rules like 
  4858 
  4859   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  4860 
  4861 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  4862 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  4863 
  4864 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  4865 
  4866   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  4867 
  4868   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  4869     definitions on => and bool.
  4870 
  4871   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  4872     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  4873     the following theorems have been renamed:
  4874 
  4875       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  4876       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  4877       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  4878       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  4879       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  4880       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  4881       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  4882       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  4883 
  4884   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  4885     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  4886     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  4887 
  4888   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  4889     The proof pattern
  4890 
  4891       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4892       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  4893 
  4894     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  4895     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  4896 
  4897       have "EX S. P S"
  4898       proof
  4899         show "P S" <...>
  4900       qed
  4901 
  4902   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  4903     The proof pattern
  4904 
  4905       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4906       also have "S = T" <...>
  4907       finally have "P T" .
  4908 
  4909     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  4910     must be replaced by something like
  4911 
  4912       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4913       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  4914       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  4915 
  4916   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  4917     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  4918 
  4919       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  4920 
  4921     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  4922     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  4923     type of the form
  4924 
  4925       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  4926 
  4927     rather than
  4928 
  4929       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  4930 
  4931 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  4932 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  4933 
  4934 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4935 
  4936 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  4937 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  4938 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4939 
  4940 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  4941 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4942 
  4943 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  4944 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4945 
  4946 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  4947 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  4948 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4949 
  4950 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  4951 the same name in theory Orderings:
  4952 
  4953   less_trans
  4954   less_linear
  4955   le_imp_less_or_eq
  4956   le_less_trans
  4957   less_le_trans
  4958   less_not_sym
  4959   less_asym
  4960 
  4961 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  4962 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  4963 and different variable names.
  4964 
  4965 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  4966 
  4967 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  4968 finite maps.
  4969 
  4970 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  4971 
  4972 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  4973 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  4974 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  4975 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  4976 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  4977 accordingly.
  4978 
  4979 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  4980 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  4981 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  4982 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  4983 
  4984 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  4985 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  4986 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  4987 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  4988 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  4989 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4990 
  4991 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  4992 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4993 
  4994 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  4995 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  4996 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  4997 
  4998 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  4999 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5000 
  5001 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5002 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5003 
  5004 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5005 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5006 
  5007 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5008 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5009 
  5010 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5011 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5012 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5013 
  5014 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5015 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5016 
  5017 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5018 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5019 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5020 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5021 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5022 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5023 
  5024 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5025 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5026 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5027 
  5028 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5029 
  5030 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5031 
  5032 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5033 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5034 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5035 
  5036 
  5037 *** ZF ***
  5038 
  5039 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5040 same session:
  5041 
  5042   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5043   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5044   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5045   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5046   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5047   List      -> List_ZF
  5048   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5049 
  5050 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5051 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5052 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5053 
  5054 
  5055 *** ML ***
  5056 
  5057 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5058 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5059 
  5060 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5061 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5062 
  5063 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5064 
  5065 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5066 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5067 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5068 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5069 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5070 
  5071 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5072 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5073 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5074 
  5075 
  5076 *** System ***
  5077 
  5078 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5079 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5080 
  5081 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5082 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5083 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5084 
  5085 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5086 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5087 
  5088 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5089 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5090 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5091 
  5092 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5093 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5094 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5095 
  5096 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5097 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5098 
  5099 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5100 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5101 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5102 script.
  5103 
  5104 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5105 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5106 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5107 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5108 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5109 
  5110 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5111 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5112 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5113 
  5114 
  5115 
  5116 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5117 -----------------------------------
  5118 
  5119 *** General ***
  5120 
  5121 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5122 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5123 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5124 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5125 
  5126 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5127 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5128 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5129 
  5130 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5131 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5132 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5133 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5134 
  5135 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5136 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5137 quotes.
  5138 
  5139 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5140 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5141 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5142 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5143 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5144 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5145 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5146 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5147 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5148 
  5149 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5150 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5151 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5152 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5153 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5154 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5155 
  5156 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5157 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5158 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5159 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5160 
  5161 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5162 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5163 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5164 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5165 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5166 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5167 
  5168 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5169 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5170 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5171 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5172 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5173 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5174 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5175 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5176 
  5177 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5178 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5179 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5180 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5181 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5182 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5183 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5184 
  5185 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5186 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5187 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5188 
  5189 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5190 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5191 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5192 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5193 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5194 limit is imposed.
  5195 
  5196 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5197 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5198 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5199 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5200 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5201 and scalability.
  5202 
  5203 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5204 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5205 
  5206 
  5207 *** Document preparation ***
  5208 
  5209 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5210 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5211 current context.
  5212 
  5213 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5214 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5215 
  5216 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5217 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5218 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5219 
  5220 
  5221 *** Pure ***
  5222 
  5223 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5224 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5225 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5226 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5227 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5228 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5229 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5230 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5231 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5232 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5233 
  5234 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5235 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5236 sketch:
  5237 
  5238     internal compilation:
  5239         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5240     writing SML code to a file:
  5241         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5242     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5243         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5244     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5245         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5246 
  5247     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5248         method ``eval''
  5249 
  5250 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5251 
  5252 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5253 
  5254     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5255     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5256     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5257     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5258 
  5259 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5260 
  5261     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5262       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5263 
  5264     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5265       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5266 
  5267     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5268       {(target)}+
  5269         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5270 
  5271     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5272       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5273         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5274 
  5275 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5276 
  5277 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5278 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5279 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5280 codegen".
  5281 
  5282 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5283 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5284 annotations).
  5285 
  5286 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5287 syntax.
  5288 
  5289 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5290 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5291 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5292 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5293 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5294 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5295 
  5296 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5297 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5298 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5299 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5300 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5301 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5302 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5303 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5304 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5305 equations, see section "definitions".
  5306 
  5307 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5308 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5309 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5310 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5311 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5312 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5313 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5314 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5315 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5316 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5317 
  5318 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5319 configuration options:
  5320 
  5321   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5322   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5323   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5324   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5325   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5326   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5327   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5328   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5329   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5330 
  5331 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5332 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5333 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5334 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5335 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5336 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5337 order.
  5338 
  5339 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5340 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5341 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5342 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5343 context encountered later on.
  5344 
  5345 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5346 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5347 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5348 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5349 
  5350 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5351 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5352 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5353 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5354 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5355 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5356 
  5357 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5358 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5359 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5360 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5361 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5362 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5363 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5364 more permissive.
  5365 
  5366 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5367 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5368 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5369 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5370 maintainability of proof texts.
  5371 
  5372 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5373 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5374 
  5375   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5376   then guess x and y by clarify
  5377 
  5378 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5379 proof tools being involved here.
  5380 
  5381 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5382 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5383 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5384 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5385 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5386 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5387 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5388 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5389 
  5390 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5391 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5392 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5393 
  5394   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5395   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5396   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5397   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5398 
  5399 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5400 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5401 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5402 
  5403 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5404 both named and unnamed ones.
  5405 
  5406 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5407 
  5408   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5409 
  5410 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5411 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5412 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5413 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5414 
  5415 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5416 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5417 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5418 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5419 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5420 
  5421 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5422 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5423 
  5424 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5425 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5426 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5427 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5428 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5429 originally first one.
  5430 
  5431 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5432 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5433 expected.
  5434 
  5435 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5436 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5437 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5438 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5439 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5440 
  5441   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5442     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5443     obtains x where "P x"
  5444 
  5445   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5446     assumes "A & B"
  5447     obtains A and B
  5448 
  5449   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5450     assumes "A | B"
  5451     obtains
  5452       A
  5453     | B
  5454 
  5455 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5456 explicitly:
  5457 
  5458   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5459     obtains "~ thesis"
  5460 
  5461   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5462     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5463 
  5464 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5465 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5466 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5467 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5468 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5469 case_names).
  5470 
  5471 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5472 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5473 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5474 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5475 
  5476 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5477 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5478 top-level lemma.
  5479 
  5480 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5481 introduction rule (default "that").
  5482 
  5483 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5484 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5485 to occur.
  5486 
  5487 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5488 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5489 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5490 representations independently of name spaces.
  5491 
  5492 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5493 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5494 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5495 
  5496 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5497 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5498 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5499 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5500 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5501 current context.
  5502 
  5503 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5504 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5505 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5506 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5507 
  5508   axiomatization
  5509     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5510     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5511 
  5512   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5513   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5514 
  5515   abbreviation
  5516     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5517     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5518 
  5519 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5520 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5521 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5522 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5523 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5524 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5525 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5526 
  5527 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5528 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5529 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5530 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5531 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5532 
  5533 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5534 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5535 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5536 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5537 
  5538 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5539 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5540 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5541 
  5542   definition "K x _ = x"
  5543 
  5544   inductive conj for A B
  5545   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5546 
  5547 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5548 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5549 abbreviations on output.
  5550 
  5551 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5552 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5553 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5554 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5555 
  5556 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5557 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5558 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5559 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  5560 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  5561 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  5562 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  5563 
  5564 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  5565 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  5566 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  5567 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  5568 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  5569 
  5570 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  5571 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  5572 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  5573 
  5574 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  5575 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  5576 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  5577 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  5578 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  5579 
  5580   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  5581     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  5582 
  5583 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  5584 definition specification element in the context of locale
  5585 partial_order.
  5586 
  5587 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  5588 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  5589 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  5590 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  5591 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  5592 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  5593 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  5594 examples.
  5595 
  5596 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  5597 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  5598 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  5599 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  5600 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  5601 
  5602 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  5603 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  5604 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  5605 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  5606 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  5607 
  5608   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  5609   (induct set: foo bar)
  5610   (induct pred: foo bar)
  5611   (induct type: foo bar)
  5612 
  5613 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  5614 new format.
  5615 
  5616 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  5617 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  5618 
  5619 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  5620 considered a legacy feature.
  5621 
  5622 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  5623 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5624 
  5625 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  5626 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  5627 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  5628 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  5629   
  5630 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  5631 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  5632 manipulating the claset.
  5633 
  5634 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  5635 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  5636 least one premise.
  5637 
  5638 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  5639 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  5640 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  5641 rule steps.
  5642 
  5643 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  5644 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  5645 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  5646 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  5647 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  5648 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  5649 
  5650 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  5651 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  5652 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  5653 
  5654 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  5655 the graph browser tool.
  5656 
  5657 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  5658 default; use '!' option for full details.
  5659 
  5660 
  5661 *** HOL ***
  5662 
  5663 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  5664 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  5665 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  5666 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  5667 multi-threading.
  5668   
  5669 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  5670 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  5671 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  5672 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  5673 work with multi-threading.
  5674 
  5675 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  5676 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  5677 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  5678 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  5679 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  5680 
  5681 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  5682 
  5683 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  5684 equality.
  5685 
  5686 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  5687 the new 'class' package:
  5688 
  5689     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  5690     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  5691     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  5692     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  5693     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  5694     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  5695     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  5696     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times

  5707     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  5708     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  5709 
  5710 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  5711 
  5712 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  5713 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  5714 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  5715 names.
  5716 
  5717 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  5718 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  5719 
  5720 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  5721 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  5722 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  5723 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  5724 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  5725 
  5726 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  5727 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  5728 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  5729 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  5730 
  5731 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  5732 
  5733 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  5734 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  5735 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  5736 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  5737 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5738 
  5739 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  5740 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5741 
  5742 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  5743 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  5744 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5745 
  5746 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  5747 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  5748 
  5749 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  5750 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  5751 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  5752 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  5753 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  5754 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  5755 in the current context.
  5756 
  5757 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  5758 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  5759 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5760 
  5761 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  5762 with new class dense_linear_order.
  5763 
  5764 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  5765 
  5766     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  5767     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  5768 
  5769     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  5770       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  5771     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  5772     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  5773 
  5774     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  5775     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  5776 
  5777   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  5879 
  5880 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  5881 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  5882 
  5883 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  5884 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  5885 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  5886 "*.size".
  5887 
  5888 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  5889 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5890 
  5891 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  5892 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  5893 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5894 
  5895 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5896 
  5897 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  5898 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  5899 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  5900 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  5901 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  5902 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  5903 numerals on all operations.
  5904 
  5905 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  5906 
  5907 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  5908 
  5909 * Code generator library theories:
  5910   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  5911     languages.
  5912   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  5913     languages.
  5914   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  5915     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  5916   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  5917   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  5918     denominator).
  5919   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  5920     representable by rational numbers.
  5921   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  5922     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  5923     includes Code_Integer.
  5924   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  5925     target-language built-in integers.
  5926   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  5927     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  5928 
  5929 * New package for inductive predicates
  5930 
  5931   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  5932 
  5933     inductive
  5934       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5935       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5936     where
  5937       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5938     | ...
  5939 
  5940   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  5941 
  5942     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5943 
  5944     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5945     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5946 
  5947     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  5948     intros
  5949       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5950       ...
  5951 
  5952   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  5953   sets to be defined with the new package via
  5954 
  5955     inductive_set
  5956       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5957       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5958     where
  5959       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5960     | ...
  5961 
  5962   or
  5963 
  5964     inductive_set
  5965       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5966       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5967       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5968     where
  5969       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5970     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5971     | ...
  5972 
  5973   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  5974 
  5975   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  5976   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  5977 
  5978   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5979 
  5980   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  5981     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  5982     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  5983     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  5984     than before the actual inductive definition.
  5985 
  5986   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  5987     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  5988     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  5989     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  5990     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  5991     statements of the form
  5992 
  5993       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  5994 
  5995     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  5996     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  5997 
  5998       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  5999 
  6000   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6001 
  6002       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6003         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6004         ==> ... ==> P
  6005 
  6006     for predicates and
  6007 
  6008       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6009         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6010         ==> ... ==> P
  6011 
  6012     for sets rather than
  6013 
  6014       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6015         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6016         ==> ... ==> P
  6017 
  6018     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6019     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6020     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6021 
  6022   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6023     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6024     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6025 
  6026 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6027 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6028 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6029 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6030 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6031 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6032 
  6033 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6034 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6035 
  6036 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6037 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6038 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6039 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6040 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6041 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6042 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6043 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6044 variable.
  6045 
  6046 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6047 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6048 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6049 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6050   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6051   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6052 
  6053 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6054 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6055 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6056 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6057 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6058 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6059 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6060 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6061 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6062 
  6063 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6064 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6065 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6066 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6067 rat, etc.
  6068 
  6069 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6070 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6071 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6072 
  6073 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6074 
  6075 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6076 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6077 
  6078 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6079 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6080 
  6081 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6082 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6083 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6084 
  6085 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6086 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6087 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6088 
  6089 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6090 
  6091 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6092 
  6093 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6094 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6095 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6096 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6097 
  6098 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6099 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6100 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6101 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6102 
  6103 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6104 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6105 algebraic operations.
  6106 
  6107 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6108 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6109 
  6110 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6111 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6112 
  6113 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6114 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6115 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6116 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6117 adapted.
  6118  
  6119 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6120 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6121 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6122 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6123 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6124 
  6125 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6126 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6127 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6128 
  6129 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6130 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6131 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6132 
  6133 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6134 
  6135 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6136 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6137 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6138   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6139       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6140   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6141   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6142   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6143 
  6144 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6145 
  6146 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6147 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6148 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6149 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6150 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6151 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6152 
  6153 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6154 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6155 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6156 
  6157 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6158 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6159 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6160 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6161 
  6162 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6163 
  6164 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6165 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6166 
  6167 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6168 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6169 
  6170 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6171 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6172 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6173 
  6174 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6175 True/False.
  6176 
  6177 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6178 
  6179 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6180 
  6181 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6182 ``rule'' method.
  6183 
  6184 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6185 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6186 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6187 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6188 
  6189 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6190 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6191 
  6192 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6193 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6194 
  6195 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6196 Library.
  6197 
  6198 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6199 
  6200 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6201 as greatest fixed-point.
  6202 
  6203 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6204 association lists.
  6205 
  6206 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6207 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6208 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6209 
  6210 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6211 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6212 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6213 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6214 behavior.
  6215 
  6216 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6217 
  6218 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6219 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6220 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6221 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6222 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6223 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6224 
  6225 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6226 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6227 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6228 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6229 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6230 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6231 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6232 
  6233 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6234 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6235 
  6236 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6237 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6238 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6239 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6240 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6241 
  6242 
  6243 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6244 
  6245 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6246 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6247 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6248 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6249 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6250 
  6251 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6252 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6253 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6254 
  6255 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6256 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6257 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6258 
  6259 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6260 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6261 
  6262 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6263 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6264 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6265 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6281   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6282 
  6283 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6284 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6285 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6286 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6296   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6297 
  6298 
  6299 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6300 
  6301 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6302 
  6303 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6304 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6305 
  6306 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6307 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6308 
  6309 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6310 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6311 of algebraic structures.
  6312 
  6313 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6314 
  6315 
  6316 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6317 
  6318 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6319 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6320 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6321 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6322 
  6323 
  6324 *** ML ***
  6325 
  6326 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6327 (even on SML/NJ).
  6328 
  6329 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6330 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6331 compile-time.  For example:
  6332 
  6333 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6334 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6335 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6336 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6337 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6338 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6339 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6340 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6341 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6342 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6343 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6344 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6345 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6346 ML {* @{context} *}
  6347 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6348 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6349 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6350 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6351 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6352 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6353 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6354 
  6355 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6356 
  6357 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6358 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6359 
  6360 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6361 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6362 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6363 
  6364 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6365 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6366 
  6367 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6368 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6369 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6370 
  6371 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6372 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6373 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6374 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6375 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6376 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6377 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6378 declarations and definitions.
  6379 
  6380 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6381 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6382 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6383 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6384 
  6385 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6386 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6387 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6388 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6389 
  6390 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6391 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6392 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6393 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6394 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6395 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6396 
  6397 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6398 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6399 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6400 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6401 attributes, methods, etc.
  6402 
  6403 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6404 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6405 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6406 fold_map combinators.
  6407 
  6408 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6409 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6410 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6411 derivation.
  6412 
  6413 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6414 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6415 achieve the old behaviour.
  6416 
  6417 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6418 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6419 statements.
  6420 
  6421 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6422 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6423 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6424 
  6425 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6426 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6427 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6428 
  6429   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6430   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6431   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6432 
  6433 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6434 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6435 
  6436 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6437 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6438 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6439 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6440 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6441 
  6442 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6443 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6444 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6445 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6446 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6447 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6448 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6449 in a locale context).
  6450 
  6451 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6452 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6453 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6454 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6455 
  6456 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6457 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6458 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6459 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6460 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6461 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6462 
  6463 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6464 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6465 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6466 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6467 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6468 
  6469   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6470 
  6471 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6472 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6473 this:
  6474 
  6475   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6476 
  6477 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6478 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6479 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6480 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6481 
  6482 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6483 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6484 
  6485 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6486 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6487 
  6488 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6489 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6490 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6491 batch mode.
  6492 
  6493 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6494 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6495 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6496 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6497 
  6498 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6499 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6500 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6501 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6502 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6503 
  6504 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6505 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6506 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6507 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6508 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6509 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6510 
  6511 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6512 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6513 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6514 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6515 
  6516 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6517 "Trueprop" etc.
  6518 
  6519 
  6520 *** System ***
  6521 
  6522 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6523 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6524 Isabelle installations.
  6525 
  6526 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6527 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6528 code.
  6529 
  6530 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6531 
  6532 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6533 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6534 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6535 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6536 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6537 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6538 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6539 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6540 Implementation manual.
  6541 
  6542 
  6543 
  6544 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  6545 ----------------------------------
  6546 
  6547 *** General ***
  6548 
  6549 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6550 
  6551   theory <name>
  6552   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6553   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6554   begin
  6555 
  6556 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6557 
  6558   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6559 
  6560 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  6561 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  6562 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  6563 
  6564 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  6565 relative and absolute paths.
  6566 
  6567 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  6568 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  6569 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  6570 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  6571 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  6572 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  6573 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  6574 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  6575 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  6576 
  6577   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  6578 
  6579 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  6580 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  6581 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  6582 
  6583 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  6584 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6585 
  6586 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  6587 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  6588 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  6589 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  6590 
  6591   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  6592   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  6593 
  6594 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  6595 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  6596 faster.
  6597 
  6598 
  6599 *** Document preparation ***
  6600 
  6601 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  6602 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  6603 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  6604 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  6605 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  6606 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  6607 
  6608 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  6609 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  6610 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  6611 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  6612 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  6613 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  6614 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  6615 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  6616 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  6617 \isadroptag.
  6618 
  6619 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  6620 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  6621 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  6622 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  6623 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  6624 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  6625 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  6626 specified above.
  6627 
  6628 * Several new antiquotations:
  6629 
  6630   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  6631 
  6632   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  6633 
  6634   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  6635   argument is a known logical constant;
  6636 
  6637   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  6638   theorem applying a "style" to it
  6639 
  6640   @{ML text}
  6641 
  6642 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  6643 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  6644 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  6645 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  6646 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  6647 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  6648 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  6649 
  6650 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  6651 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  6652 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  6653 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  6654 
  6655 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  6656 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  6657 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  6658 
  6659 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  6660 a proof context.
  6661 
  6662 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  6663 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  6664 
  6665 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  6666 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  6667 
  6668 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  6669 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  6670 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  6671 
  6672 
  6673 *** Pure ***
  6674 
  6675 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  6676 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  6677 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  6678 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  6679 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  6680 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  6681 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  6682 
  6683 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  6684 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  6685 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  6686 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  6687 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  6688 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  6689 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  6690 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  6691 
  6692 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  6693 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  6694 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  6695 
  6696 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  6697 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  6698 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  6699 
  6700 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  6701 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  6702 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  6703 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  6704 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6705 
  6706 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  6707 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  6708 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  6709 axclasses vs. locales.
  6710 
  6711 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  6712 instead of base 26 numbers.
  6713 
  6714 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  6715 marks in schematic variable names.
  6716 
  6717 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  6718 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  6719 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  6720 
  6721   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  6722     by simp
  6723 
  6724 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  6725 
  6726 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  6727 annotations as "(00...)".
  6728 
  6729 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  6730 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  6731 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  6732 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  6733 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  6734 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  6735 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  6736 
  6737 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  6738 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  6739 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  6740 specifications.
  6741 
  6742 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  6743 locally fixed variables as well.
  6744 
  6745 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  6746 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  6747 Limit.
  6748 
  6749 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  6750 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  6751 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  6752 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  6753 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  6754 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  6755 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  6756 
  6757 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  6758 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  6759 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  6760 
  6761 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6762 
  6763 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  6764 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  6765 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  6766 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  6767 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  6768 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  6769 
  6770 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  6771 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  6772 
  6773 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  6774 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  6775 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  6776 
  6777 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  6778 
  6779 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  6780 theory development.
  6781 
  6782 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  6783 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  6784 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  6785 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  6786 
  6787 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  6788 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  6789 quoted when used as identifier.
  6790 
  6791 
  6792 *** Locales ***
  6793 
  6794 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  6795 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  6796 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  6797 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  6798 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  6799 commands is a follows:
  6800 
  6801   (1) interpretation expr inst
  6802   (2) interpretation target < expr
  6803   (3) interpret expr inst
  6804 
  6805 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  6806 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  6807 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  6808 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  6809 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  6810 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  6811 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  6812 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  6813 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  6814 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  6815 
  6816 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  6817 'interpret' instead.
  6818 
  6819 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  6820 parameters.
  6821 
  6822 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  6823 redeclaration.
  6824 
  6825 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  6826 
  6827 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  6828 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  6829 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  6830 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  6831 to attribute arguments as expected.
  6832 
  6833 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  6834 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  6835 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  6836 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  6837 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  6838 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  6839 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  6840 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  6841 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  6842 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  6843 
  6844 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  6845 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  6846 theorem statement in rare situations.
  6847 
  6848 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  6849 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  6850 
  6851 
  6852 *** Provers ***
  6853 
  6854 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  6855 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  6856 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  6857 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  6858 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  6859 
  6860 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  6861 and quasi orders.
  6862 
  6863 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  6864 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  6865 
  6866 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  6867 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  6868 
  6869 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  6870 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  6871 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6872 
  6873 
  6874 *** HOL ***
  6875 
  6876 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  6877 
  6878   syntax (epsilon)
  6879     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  6880 
  6881 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  6882 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  6883 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  6884 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6885 
  6886 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  6887 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  6888 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  6889 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  6890 
  6891 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  6892 instead of ":".
  6893 
  6894 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  6895 
  6896   Old       New
  6897   {..n(}    {..<n}
  6898   {)n..}    {n<..}
  6899   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  6900   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  6901   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  6902 
  6903 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  6904 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  6905 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  6906 
  6907   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  6908   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  6909 
  6910 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  6911 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  6912 interface.
  6913 
  6914 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  6915 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  6916 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  6917 be a tuple pattern.
  6918 
  6919 Some new syntax forms are available:
  6920 
  6921   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  6922   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  6923   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  6924   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  6925 
  6926 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  6927 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  6928 
  6929 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  6930 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  6931 (insert F x)'.
  6932 
  6933 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  6934 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  6935 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  6936 
  6937 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  6938 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  6939 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  6940 
  6941 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  6942 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  6943 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  6944 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  6945 in unstructured proof scripts.
  6946 
  6947 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  6948 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  6949 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  6950 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  6951 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  6952 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  6953 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  6954 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  6955 <record_name>_ext_type.
  6956 
  6957 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  6958 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  6959 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  6960 quite long.
  6961 
  6962 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  6963 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  6964 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  6965 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6966 
  6967 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  6968 type-variables in the term.
  6969 
  6970 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  6971 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  6972 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6973 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  6974 goals than previously.
  6975 
  6976 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  6977 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  6978 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  6979 just like y <= x.
  6980 
  6981 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  6982 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  6983 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  6984 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  6985 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  6986 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  6987 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6988 
  6989 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  6990 
  6991 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  6992 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  6993 
  6994 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  6995 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  6996 inequalities.
  6997 
  6998 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6999 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7000 
  7001   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7002   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7003   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  7004   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  7005   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  7006   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  7007   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7008   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7009   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7010   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7011   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7012 
  7013 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7014      
  7015      zero_le_square
  7016      not_square_less_zero 
  7017 
  7018   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7019   
  7020      realpow_zero_zero
  7021      realpow_two
  7022      realpow_less
  7023      zero_le_power
  7024      realpow_two_le
  7025      abs_realpow_two
  7026      realpow_two_abs     
  7027 
  7028 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7029 
  7030 * Theory List:
  7031 
  7032 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7033 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7034 
  7035   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7036   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7037   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7038   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7039 
  7040 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7041 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7042 
  7043 
  7044 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7045 
  7046 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7047 integers in the reals.
  7048 
  7049 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7050 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7051 
  7052   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7053   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7054   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7055   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7056   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7057 
  7058 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7059 
  7060 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7061 
  7062 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7063 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7064 
  7065   hypreal = real star
  7066   hypnat = nat star
  7067   hcomplex = complex star
  7068 
  7069 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7070 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7071 
  7072   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  7073 
  7074   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  7075   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*

  7077   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  7078   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  7079 
  7080   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  7081   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  7082   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  7083   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  7084   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7085 
  7086 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7087 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7088 
  7089   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  7090   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs

  7109   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  7110   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  7111   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  7112   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7113 
  7114 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7115 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7116 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7117 
  7118   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7119   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  7120   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  7121   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int
  7122   STAR_Compl <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Compl
  7123   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset

  7206 
  7207 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7208 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7209 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7210 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7211 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7212 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7213 
  7214 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7215 
  7216 
  7217 *** HOLCF ***
  7218 
  7219 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7220 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7221 type-inference.
  7222 
  7223 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7224 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7225 instead of exponential time).
  7226 
  7227 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7228 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7229 
  7230   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7231 
  7232 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7233 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7234 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7235 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7236 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7237 syntax and examples.
  7238 
  7239 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7240 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7241 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7242 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7243 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7244 
  7245 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7246 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7247 
  7248   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7249   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7250   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7251   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7252   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7253   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7254 
  7255 
  7256 *** ZF ***
  7257 
  7258 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7259 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7260 of a homomorphism).
  7261 
  7262 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7263 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7264 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7265 
  7266 
  7267 *** Cube ***
  7268 
  7269 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7270 theories.
  7271 
  7272 
  7273 *** ML ***
  7274 
  7275 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7276 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7277 
  7278 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7279 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7280 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7281 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7282 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7283 
  7284 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7285 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7286 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7287 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7288 
  7289 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7290 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7291 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7292 
  7293     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7294     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7295     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7296     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7297     seq fs = List.app fs
  7298     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7299     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7300 
  7301 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7302 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7303 
  7304   x |> f                f #> g
  7305   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7306 
  7307 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7308 
  7309   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7310   infix 2 ?;
  7311   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7312   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7313 
  7314 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7315 infix operators.
  7316 
  7317 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7318 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7319 example:
  7320 
  7321   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7322     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7323 
  7324   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7325     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7326 
  7327   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7328     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7329 
  7330   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7331     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7332 
  7333 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7334 available:
  7335 
  7336   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7337   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7338   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7339   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7340 
  7341 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7342 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7343 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7344 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7345 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7346 
  7347   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7348   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7349   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7350 
  7351 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7352 
  7353   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7354   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7355 
  7356 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7357 Naive rewrites:
  7358 
  7359   make_keylist = AList.make
  7360   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7361 
  7362 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7363   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7364 
  7365     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7366     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7367 
  7368 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7369   Naive rewrites:
  7370 
  7371     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7372     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7373 
  7374 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7375 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7376 lists.
  7377 
  7378 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7379 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7380 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7381 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7382 
  7383 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7384 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7385 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7386 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7387 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7388 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7389 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7390 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7391 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7392 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7393 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7394 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7395 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7396 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7397 Output.raw have no effect.
  7398 
  7399 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7400 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7401 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7402 
  7403 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7404 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7405 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7406 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7407 
  7408 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7409 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7410 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7411 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7412 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7413 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7414 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7415 
  7416 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7417 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7418 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7419 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7420 
  7421 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7422 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7423 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7424 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7425 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7426 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7427 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7428 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7429 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7430 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7431 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7432 
  7433 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7434 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7435 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7436 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7437 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7438 with earlier declarations.
  7439 
  7440 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7441 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7442 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7443 
  7444 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7445 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7446 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7447 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7448 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7449 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7450 
  7451   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7452     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7453 
  7454   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7455     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7456 
  7457   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7458     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7459     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7460     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7461 
  7462 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7463 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7464 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7465 
  7466 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7467 
  7468 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7469 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7470 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7471 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7472 
  7473 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7474 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7475 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7476 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7477 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7478 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7479 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7480 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7481 
  7482 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7483 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7484 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7485 
  7486 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7487 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7488 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7489 
  7490 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7491 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7492 
  7493   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7494   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7495   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7496   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7497 
  7498 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7499 
  7500 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7501 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7502 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7503 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7504 (both increase the runtime).
  7505 
  7506 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7507 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7508 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7509 
  7510 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7511 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7512 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7513 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7514 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7515 for further details.
  7516 
  7517 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7518 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7519 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7520 scripts for the time being.
  7521 
  7522 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7523 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7524 
  7525   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7526   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7527 
  7528 
  7529 *** System ***
  7530 
  7531 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7532 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7533 
  7534 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7535 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7536 
  7537 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7538 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7539 
  7540 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7541 distribution being used.
  7542 
  7543 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7544 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7545 theories.
  7546 
  7547 
  7548 
  7549 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7550 --------------------------------
  7551 
  7552 *** General ***
  7553 
  7554 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7555   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7556 
  7557 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7558   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7559   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  7560   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  7561   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  7562   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  7563   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  7564   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  7565   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  7566   existing theory and ML files.
  7567 
  7568 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  7569 
  7570 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  7571   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  7572   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  7573   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  7574 
  7575 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  7576   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  7577   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  7578   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  7579 
  7580 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  7581   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  7582   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  7583 
  7584 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  7585   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  7586   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  7587   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  7588   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  7589 
  7590 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  7591   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  7592 
  7593 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  7594   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  7595   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  7596 
  7597 
  7598 *** Isar ***
  7599 
  7600 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  7601   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  7602   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  7603     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  7604     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  7605     emulations.
  7606   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  7607     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  7608     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  7609 
  7610 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  7611   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  7612     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  7613     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  7614   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  7615 
  7616 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  7617   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  7618   and derived forms.
  7619 
  7620 * Locales:
  7621   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  7622     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  7623     "_axioms") in the premise.
  7624     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  7625   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  7626     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  7627   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  7628     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  7629   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  7630         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  7631     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  7632     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  7633     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  7634     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  7635     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  7636       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  7637     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  7638     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  7639     with "locale (open)".
  7640       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  7641 
  7642 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  7643   (Isar) contexts.
  7644 
  7645 
  7646 *** HOL ***
  7647 
  7648 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  7649   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  7650   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  7651   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  7652   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  7653 
  7654 * Simplifier:
  7655   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  7656     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  7657     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  7658     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  7659     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  7660   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  7661     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  7662     is solved by simplification already.
  7663 
  7664 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  7665     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  7666 
  7667 * Numerics:
  7668   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  7669     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  7670   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  7671     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  7672   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  7673     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  7674     exponentiation).
  7675 
  7676 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  7677 
  7678 * Records:
  7679   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  7680     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  7681     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  7682   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  7683     (not enabled by default).
  7684   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  7685     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  7686   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  7687 
  7688 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  7689   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  7690   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  7691 
  7692 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  7693 
  7694 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  7695 
  7696 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  7697   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  7698 
  7699 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  7700   matrix theory to linear programming.
  7701 
  7702 * Unions and Intersections:
  7703   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  7704   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  7705   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  7706   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  7707 
  7708 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  7709   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  7710   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  7711   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  7712 
  7713 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  7714   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  7715 
  7716 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  7717   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  7718 
  7719 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  7720   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  7721   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  7722 
  7723 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  7724   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  7725   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  7726   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  7727   for examples.
  7728 
  7729 
  7730 *** HOLCF ***
  7731 
  7732 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  7733 
  7734 
  7735 
  7736 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  7737 ------------------------------
  7738 
  7739 *** General ***
  7740 
  7741 * Provers/simplifier:
  7742 
  7743   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  7744     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  7745     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  7746     the order of assumptions.
  7747 
  7748     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7749 
  7750     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  7751        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  7752 
  7753         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  7754 
  7755        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  7756 
  7757         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  7758 
  7759        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  7760        kind of problem.
  7761 
  7762     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  7763        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  7764        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  7765        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  7766        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  7767        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  7768        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  7769 
  7770   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  7771 
  7772   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  7773     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  7774     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  7775     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  7776     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  7777     the simplifier would diverge.
  7778 
  7779   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  7780 
  7781   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  7782     congruence is ignored.
  7783 
  7784 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  7785   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  7786   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  7787 
  7788 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  7789 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  7790    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  7791 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  7792 
  7793 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  7794 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  7795       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  7796 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  7797 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  7798 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  7799 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  7800 
  7801 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  7802 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  7803 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  7804 assumption failed.
  7805 
  7806 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  7807 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  7808 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  7809 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  7810 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  7811 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  7812 on the old view without predicates;
  7813 
  7814 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  7815 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  7816 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  7817 
  7818 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  7819 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  7820 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  7821 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  7822 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  7823 be given (the default is 40);
  7824 
  7825 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  7826 (batch-mode only);
  7827 
  7828 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  7829 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  7830 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  7831 
  7832 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  7833 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  7834 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  7835 
  7836 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  7837 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  7838 
  7839 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  7840 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  7841 
  7842 
  7843 *** HOL ***
  7844 
  7845 * arith(_tac)
  7846 
  7847  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  7848    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  7849    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  7850    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  7851 
  7852  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  7853 
  7854  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  7855    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  7856    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  7857 
  7858 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  7859 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  7860 
  7861 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  7862 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  7863 
  7864 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  7865 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  7866 "<=", "<" and "=").
  7867 
  7868 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  7869 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  7870 
  7871 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  7872 definition;
  7873 
  7874 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  7875 Finite_Set);
  7876 
  7877 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  7878 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  7879 
  7880 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  7881   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  7882 
  7883 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  7884 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  7885 of the empty set.
  7886 
  7887 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  7888 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  7889 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  7890 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  7891 
  7892 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  7893 
  7894 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  7895 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  7896 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  7897 
  7898 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  7899 
  7900 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  7901 Fleuriot);
  7902 
  7903 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  7904 
  7905 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  7906 Gray and Kramer);
  7907 
  7908 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  7909 
  7910 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  7911 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  7912 
  7913 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  7914 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  7915 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  7916 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  7917 assignment, exceptions.
  7918 
  7919 
  7920 *** ZF ***
  7921 
  7922 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  7923 universe, etc.);
  7924 
  7925 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  7926 
  7927 
  7928 *** ML ***
  7929 
  7930 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  7931 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  7932 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  7933 
  7934 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  7935 
  7936 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  7937 up simprocs;
  7938 
  7939 
  7940 *** Document preparation ***
  7941 
  7942 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  7943 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  7944 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  7945 
  7946 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  7947 other packages
  7948 
  7949 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  7950 broke \Rightarrow)
  7951 
  7952 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  7953 textcomp package)
  7954 
  7955 
  7956 
  7957 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  7958 --------------------------------
  7959 
  7960 *** Document preparation ***
  7961 
  7962 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  7963 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  7964 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  7965 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  7966 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  7967 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  7968 
  7969 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  7970 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  7971 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  7972 
  7973 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  7974 blocks after section headings;
  7975 
  7976 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  7977 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  7978 
  7979 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  7980 better in printed text;
  7981 
  7982 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  7983 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  7984 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  7985 
  7986 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  7987 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  7988 location;
  7989 
  7990 
  7991 *** Isar ***
  7992 
  7993 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  7994   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  7995     "case (Suc n)");
  7996   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  7997     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  7998     instantiation of cases;
  7999   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8000     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8001     rules without further ado;
  8002   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8003     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8004     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8005     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8006     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8007   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8008     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8009     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8010     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8011     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8012     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8013   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8014     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8015     below);
  8016   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8017     success (no backtracking);
  8018   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8019   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8020   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8021     General versions);
  8022   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8023   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8024 
  8025 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8026 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8027 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8028 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8029 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8030 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8031 fails:
  8032 
  8033   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8034 
  8035 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8036 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8037 
  8038 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8039 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8040 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8041 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8042 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8043 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8044 some examples;
  8045 
  8046 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8047 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8048 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8049 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8050 qualified by the locale name);
  8051 
  8052 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8053 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8054 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8055 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8056 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8057 
  8058 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8059 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8060 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8061 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8062 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8063 
  8064 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8065 
  8066 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8067 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8068 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8069 
  8070 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8071 
  8072 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8073 
  8074 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8075 
  8076 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8077 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8078 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8079 
  8080 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8081 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8082 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8083 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8084 proof *scripts*;
  8085 
  8086 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8087 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8088 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8089 especially important for locales);
  8090 
  8091 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8092 mode;
  8093 
  8094 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8095 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8096 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8097 situations;
  8098 
  8099 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8100 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8101 
  8102 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8103 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8104 discontinued;
  8105 
  8106 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8107 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8108 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8109 
  8110 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8111 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8112 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8113 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8114 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8115 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8116 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8117 
  8118 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8119 of introduction rules;
  8120 
  8121 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8122 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8123 conditional rules;
  8124 
  8125 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8126 
  8127 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8128 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8129 
  8130 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8131 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8132 
  8133 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8134 wf_induct_rule;
  8135 
  8136 
  8137 *** HOL ***
  8138 
  8139 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8140 follows:
  8141 
  8142   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8143   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8144 
  8145   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8146   binary representation internally;
  8147 
  8148   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8149   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8150 
  8151 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8152 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8153 
  8154   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8155   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8156   to be spaced properly;
  8157 
  8158   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8159   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8160 
  8161   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8162 
  8163   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8164 
  8165 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8166 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8167 
  8168 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8169 
  8170 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8171 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8172 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8173 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8174 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8175 
  8176 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8177   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8178     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8179     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8180     declared as simp by default;
  8181   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8182     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8183   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8184     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8185   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8186   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8187     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8188     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8189   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8190     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8191 
  8192 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8193 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8194 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8195 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8196 
  8197 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8198 
  8199 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8200         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8201         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8202 
  8203 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8204 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8205 
  8206 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8207 
  8208 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8209 
  8210 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8211 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8212   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8213 
  8214 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8215 in this (rare) case use:
  8216 
  8217   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8218   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8219 
  8220 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8221 MAY FAIL;
  8222 
  8223 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8224 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8225 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8226 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8227 
  8228 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8229 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8230 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8231 
  8232 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8233 expressions;
  8234 
  8235 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8236 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8237 
  8238 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8239 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8240 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8241 
  8242 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8243 
  8244 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8245 the "cases" method);
  8246 
  8247 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8248 Florian Kammller);
  8249 
  8250 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8251 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8252 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8253 
  8254 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8255 
  8256 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8257 
  8258 
  8259 *** HOLCF ***
  8260 
  8261 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8262 operations;
  8263 
  8264 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8265 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8266 
  8267 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8268 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8269 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8270 
  8271 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8272 
  8273 
  8274 *** ZF ***
  8275 
  8276 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8277 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8278 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8279 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8280 
  8281 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8282 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8283 
  8284 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8285 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8286 
  8287 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8288 typeless version of the formalism;
  8289 
  8290 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8291 format;
  8292 
  8293 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8294 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8295 new-style theory format;
  8296 
  8297 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8298 
  8299 
  8300 *** General ***
  8301 
  8302 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8303 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8304 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8305 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8306 
  8307 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8308 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8309 
  8310 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8311 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8312 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8313 properly;
  8314 
  8315 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8316 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8317 
  8318 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8319 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8320 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8321 type variable);
  8322 
  8323 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8324 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8325 "type_brackets";
  8326 
  8327 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8328 tokens into AST constants;
  8329 
  8330 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8331 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8332 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8333 
  8334 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8335 practice);
  8336 
  8337 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8338 addSafter;
  8339 
  8340 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8341 as well;
  8342 
  8343 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8344 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8345 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8346 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8347 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8348 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8349 
  8350 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8351 
  8352 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8353 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8354 
  8355 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8356 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8357 
  8358 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8359 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8360 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8361 
  8362 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8363 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8364 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8365 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8366 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8367 
  8368 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8369 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8370 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8371 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8372 
  8373 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8374 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8375 terminal);
  8376 
  8377 
  8378 
  8379 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8380 -----------------------------------
  8381 
  8382 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8383 
  8384 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8385 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8386 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8387 
  8388 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8389 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8390 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8391 'split_rule (complete)';
  8392 
  8393 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8394 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8395 
  8396 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8397 
  8398 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8399 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8400 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8401 
  8402 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8403 operation;
  8404 
  8405 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8406 
  8407 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8408 
  8409 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8410 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8411 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8412 
  8413 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8414 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8415 
  8416 
  8417 *** Document preparation ***
  8418 
  8419 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8420 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8421 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8422 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8423 type-writer);
  8424 
  8425 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8426 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8427 
  8428 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8429 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8430 
  8431 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8432 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8433 definitions);
  8434 
  8435 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8436 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8437 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8438 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8439 
  8440 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8441 fonts;
  8442 
  8443 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8444 generation;
  8445 
  8446 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8447 
  8448 
  8449 *** Isar ***
  8450 
  8451 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8452 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8453 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8454 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8455 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8456 
  8457 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8458 rules as well;
  8459 
  8460 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8461 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8462 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8463 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8464 
  8465 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8466 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8467 
  8468 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8469 statements as well;
  8470 
  8471 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8472 
  8473 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8474 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8475 
  8476 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8477 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8478 
  8479 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8480 
  8481 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8482 
  8483 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8484 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8485 
  8486 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8487 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8488 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8489 
  8490 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8491 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8492 the result to be shown in each case;
  8493 
  8494 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8495 
  8496 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8497 
  8498 
  8499 *** HOL ***
  8500 
  8501 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8502 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8503 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8504 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8505 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8506 
  8507 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8508 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8509 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8510 
  8511 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8512 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8513 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8514 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8515 literature;
  8516 
  8517 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8518 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8519 operator \<Sum>;
  8520 
  8521 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8522 HOL/subset.thy);
  8523 
  8524 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8525 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8526 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8527 
  8528 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8529 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8530 
  8531 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8532 rules with string literals);
  8533 
  8534 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8535  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8536  functions for the reals;
  8537 
  8538 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8539 
  8540 
  8541 *** CTT ***
  8542 
  8543 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8544 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8545 
  8546 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8547 and Arith);
  8548 
  8549 
  8550 *** General ***
  8551 
  8552 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8553 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8554 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8555 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8556 
  8557 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8558 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8559 
  8560 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  8561 as assumptions as well;
  8562 
  8563 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  8564 
  8565 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  8566 
  8567 
  8568 
  8569 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  8570 ----------------------------------
  8571 
  8572 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8573 
  8574 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  8575 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  8576 issue the following ML commands:
  8577 
  8578   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  8579   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  8580 
  8581 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  8582 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  8583 
  8584 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  8585 
  8586 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  8587 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  8588 
  8589   select_equality  -> some_equality
  8590   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  8591   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  8592   selectI2         -> someI2
  8593   selectI          -> someI
  8594   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  8595   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  8596   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  8597 
  8598 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  8599 
  8600 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  8601 instead);
  8602 
  8603 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  8604 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  8605 
  8606 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  8607 
  8608 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  8609 sometimes be needed;
  8610 
  8611 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  8612 
  8613 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  8614 
  8615 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  8616 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  8617 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  8618 
  8619 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  8620 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  8621 
  8622 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  8623 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  8624 
  8625   syntax (symbols)
  8626     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  8627       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  8628 
  8629 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8630 
  8631 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  8632 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  8633 internally;
  8634 
  8635 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  8636 changed from A/r to A//r;
  8637 
  8638 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  8639 proofs;
  8640 
  8641 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  8642 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  8643 
  8644 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8645 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  8646 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  8647 "rule del";
  8648 
  8649 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  8650 
  8651 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  8652 
  8653 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  8654 lib/texinputs);
  8655 
  8656 
  8657 *** Document preparation ***
  8658 
  8659 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  8660 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  8661 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  8662 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  8663 
  8664 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  8665 including proper document sources;
  8666 
  8667 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  8668 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  8669 of isatool usedir;
  8670 
  8671 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  8672 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  8673 LaTeX debugging;
  8674 
  8675 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  8676 
  8677 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  8678 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  8679 graph for 'all sessions';
  8680 
  8681 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  8682 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  8683 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  8684 
  8685 
  8686 *** Isar ***
  8687 
  8688 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  8689 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  8690 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  8691 
  8692 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  8693 generalized existence reasoning;
  8694 
  8695 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  8696 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  8697 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  8698 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  8699 premises;
  8700 
  8701 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  8702 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  8703 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  8704 to theorems as "tags";
  8705 
  8706 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  8707 class/type/const name spaces;
  8708 
  8709 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  8710 indicate potential overloading;
  8711 
  8712 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  8713 
  8714 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  8715 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  8716 
  8717 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  8718 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  8719 with the version in Provers/classical;
  8720 
  8721 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  8722 case name 'antecedent';
  8723 
  8724 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  8725 to the current context is now done automatically);
  8726 
  8727 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  8728 for definining proof methods in ML;
  8729 
  8730 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8731 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  8732 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  8733 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  8734 
  8735 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  8736 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  8737 
  8738 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  8739 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  8740 well (including splits);
  8741 
  8742 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  8743 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  8744 
  8745 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  8746 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  8747 
  8748 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  8749 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  8750 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  8751 
  8752 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  8753 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  8754 calculations;
  8755 
  8756 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  8757 method anyway;
  8758 
  8759 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  8760 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  8761 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  8762 
  8763 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  8764 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  8765 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  8766 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  8767 
  8768 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  8769 
  8770 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  8771 
  8772 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  8773 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  8774 proof states;
  8775 
  8776 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  8777 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  8778 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  8779 
  8780 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  8781 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  8782 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  8783 (for HOL datatypes);
  8784 
  8785 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  8786 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  8787 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  8788 
  8789 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  8790 
  8791 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  8792 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  8793 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  8794 
  8795 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  8796 
  8797 
  8798 *** HOL ***
  8799 
  8800 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  8801 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  8802 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  8803 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  8804 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  8805 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  8806 
  8807 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  8808 Clemens Ballarin;
  8809 
  8810 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  8811 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  8812 Rasmussen;
  8813 
  8814 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  8815 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  8816 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  8817 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  8818 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  8819 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  8820 
  8821 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  8822 von Oheimb;
  8823 
  8824 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  8825 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  8826 
  8827 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  8828 
  8829 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  8830 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  8831 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  8832 
  8833 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  8834 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  8835 well; admit "r" as field name;
  8836 
  8837 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  8838 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  8839 
  8840 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  8841 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  8842 
  8843 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  8844    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  8845    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  8846   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  8847     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  8848   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  8849     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  8850 
  8851 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  8852 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  8853 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  8854 
  8855 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  8856 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  8857 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  8858 
  8859 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  8860 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  8861 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  8862 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  8863 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  8864 
  8865 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  8866 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  8867 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  8868 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  8869 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  8870 each equation;
  8871 
  8872 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  8873 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  8874 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  8875 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  8876 
  8877 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  8878 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  8879 
  8880 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  8881 
  8882 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  8883 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  8884 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  8885 
  8886 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8887 
  8888 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  8889 main HOL, but was unused);
  8890 
  8891 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  8892 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  8893 
  8894 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  8895 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  8896 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  8897 bogus);
  8898 
  8899 
  8900 *** ZF ***
  8901 
  8902 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  8903 expressions over nat and int;
  8904 
  8905 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  8906 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  8907 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  8908 
  8909 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  8910 using the function intify;
  8911 
  8912 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  8913 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  8914 
  8915 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  8916 simplification;
  8917 
  8918 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  8919 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  8920 
  8921 
  8922 *** General ***
  8923 
  8924 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  8925 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  8926 
  8927 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  8928 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  8929 
  8930 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  8931 explicit make_elim);
  8932 
  8933 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  8934   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8935 use instead the strong form,
  8936   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8937 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  8938 from destruct-rules;
  8939 
  8940 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  8941 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  8942 
  8943 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  8944 
  8945 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  8946 for hiding of names;
  8947 
  8948 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  8949 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  8950 situations;
  8951 
  8952 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  8953 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  8954 Poly/ML);
  8955 
  8956 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  8957 useful for remote X11);
  8958 
  8959 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  8960 
  8961 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  8962 order;
  8963 
  8964 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  8965 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  8966 
  8967 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  8968 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  8969 
  8970 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  8971 overloading (usually false);
  8972 
  8973 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  8974 results;
  8975 
  8976 
  8977 
  8978 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  8979 --------------------------------
  8980 
  8981 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  8982 
  8983 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  8984 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  8985 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  8986 
  8987     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  8988 
  8989 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  8990 complement;
  8991 
  8992 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  8993 
  8994 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  8995   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  8996 
  8997 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  8998 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  8999 
  9000 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9001 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9002 
  9003 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9004 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9005 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9006 
  9007 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9008 
  9009 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9010         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9011 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9012 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9013         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9014 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9015 
  9016 
  9017 *** Proof tools ***
  9018 
  9019 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9020 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9021 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9022 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9023 
  9024 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9025      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9026   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9027   matching.
  9028 
  9029 
  9030 *** General ***
  9031 
  9032 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9033 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9034 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9035 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9036 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9037 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9038 
  9039 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9040 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9041 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9042 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9043 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9044 
  9045 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9046 Isabelle/Isar;
  9047 
  9048 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9049 using the graph browser tool;
  9050 
  9051 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9052 
  9053 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9054 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9055 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9056 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9057 isatool doc ref);
  9058 
  9059 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9060 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9061 
  9062 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9063 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9064 
  9065 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9066 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9067 Isabelle;
  9068 
  9069 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9070 
  9071 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9072 empty;
  9073 
  9074 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9075 long arrows);
  9076 
  9077 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9078 
  9079 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9080 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9081 
  9082 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9083 mode and goal output format:
  9084 
  9085 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9086 244c244
  9087 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9088 ---
  9089 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9090 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9091 181c181
  9092 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9093 ---
  9094 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9095 
  9096 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9097 
  9098 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9099 
  9100 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9101 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9102 result still apply;
  9103 
  9104 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9105 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9106 
  9107 
  9108 *** HOL ***
  9109 
  9110 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9111 
  9112 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9113 int:
  9114 
  9115 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9116 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9117 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9118 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9119 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9120 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9121 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9122 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9123 
  9124 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9125 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9126 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9127 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9128 simplifier.
  9129 
  9130 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9131 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9132 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9133 
  9134 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9135 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9136 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9137 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9138 type constraints;
  9139 
  9140 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9141 arguments;
  9142 
  9143 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9144 are now available;
  9145 
  9146 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9147 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9148 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9149 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9150 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9151   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9152 
  9153 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9154 
  9155 
  9156 ** HOL misc **
  9157 
  9158 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9159 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9160 
  9161 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9162 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9163 
  9164 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9165 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9166 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9167 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9168 
  9169 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9170   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9171   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9172   "mono" attribute);
  9173 
  9174 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9175   (using function types) such as
  9176 
  9177   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9178 
  9179 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9180 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9181 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9182 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9183 
  9184   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9185   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9186 
  9187 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9188 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9189 
  9190 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9191 names rather than an ML expression;
  9192 
  9193 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9194 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9195     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9196 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9197 
  9198 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9199 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9200 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9201 
  9202 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9203 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9204 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9205 
  9206 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9207 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9208 
  9209 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9210 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9211 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9212 
  9213 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9214 
  9215 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9216 thus available for user theories;
  9217 
  9218 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9219 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9220 time;
  9221 
  9222 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9223 several times and then mp;
  9224 
  9225 
  9226 *** LK ***
  9227 
  9228 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9229 formulas;
  9230 
  9231 * the simplifier is now installed
  9232 
  9233 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9234 
  9235 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9236 
  9237 
  9238 *** ZF ***
  9239 
  9240 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9241 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9242 
  9243 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9244 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9245 
  9246 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9247 
  9248 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9249 constructors;
  9250 
  9251 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9252 type-checking rules;
  9253 
  9254 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9255 to the claset;
  9256 
  9257 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9258 if(P,x,y);
  9259 
  9260 
  9261 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9262 
  9263 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9264 
  9265 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9266 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9267 
  9268 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9269 
  9270 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9271 printing empty lines;
  9272 
  9273 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9274 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9275 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9276 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9277 
  9278 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9279 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9280 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9281 
  9282 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9283 now of type real instead of int;
  9284 
  9285 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9286 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9287 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9288 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9289 
  9290 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9291 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9292 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9293 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9294 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9295 
  9296 
  9297 
  9298 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9299 ----------------------------------
  9300 
  9301 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9302 
  9303 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9304 
  9305 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9306 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9307 
  9308 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9309 called `inj_on';
  9310 
  9311 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9312   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9313   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9314 
  9315 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9316 required);
  9317 
  9318 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9319 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9320 now taken as an integer constant.
  9321 
  9322 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9323 
  9324 
  9325 *** Proof tools ***
  9326 
  9327 * Simplifier:
  9328   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9329      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9330         simplify.
  9331      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9332         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9333      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9334      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9335   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9336 
  9337 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9338 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9339 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9340 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9341 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9342 one (emitting a warning).
  9343   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9344   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9345   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9346   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9347   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9348 
  9349 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9350 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9351 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9352 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9353 by Force_tac;
  9354 
  9355 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9356 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9357 
  9358 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9359 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9360 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9361 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9362 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9363 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9364 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9365 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9366 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9367 
  9368 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9369 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9370 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9371 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9372 
  9373 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9374 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9375 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9376 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9377 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9378 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9379 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9380 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9381 t is the name of the datatype).
  9382 
  9383 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9384 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9385 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9386 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9387 
  9388 
  9389 *** General ***
  9390 
  9391 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9392 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9393 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9394 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9395 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9396 (backup your sources first!);
  9397 
  9398 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9399 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9400 
  9401 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9402 definitions that have local scope;
  9403 
  9404 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9405 
  9406 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9407 (e.g. package initialization);
  9408 
  9409 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9410 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9411 
  9412 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9413 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9414 
  9415 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9416 
  9417 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9418 
  9419 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9420 
  9421 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9422 
  9423 
  9424 *** HOL ***
  9425 
  9426 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9427 
  9428 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9429 definitions such as
  9430 
  9431   inductive EVEN ODD
  9432     intrs
  9433       null "0 : EVEN"
  9434       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9435       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9436 
  9437 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9438 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9439 correctly (also ZF);
  9440 
  9441 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9442 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9443 contained in "induct";
  9444 
  9445 
  9446 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9447 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9448 
  9449   datatype
  9450     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9451             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9452             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9453             | NUM 'a
  9454   and
  9455     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9456             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9457             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9458 
  9459 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9460 
  9461   datatype
  9462     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9463                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9464 
  9465 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9466 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9467 
  9468 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9469 <function_name>.simps.
  9470 
  9471 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9472 
  9473   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9474     ancestor.
  9475   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9476     generic induct_tac instead.
  9477   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9478     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9479     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9480     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9481   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9482     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9483   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9484     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9485     sort constraints.
  9486   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9487     of recursive argument.
  9488 
  9489 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9490 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9491 
  9492 
  9493 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9494 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9495 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9496 support is as follows:
  9497 
  9498   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9499 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9500 
  9501   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9502 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9503 
  9504   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9505 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9506 
  9507 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9508 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9509 the name of your record type.
  9510 
  9511 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9512 
  9513   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9514 
  9515 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9516 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9517 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9518 solve record problems automatically.
  9519 
  9520 
  9521 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9522 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9523 
  9524 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9525 
  9526 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9527 
  9528 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9529 
  9530 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9531 
  9532 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9533 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9534 with add/delsplits);
  9535 
  9536 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9537 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9538 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9539 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9540 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9541 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9542 %u.f();
  9543 
  9544 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9545 makes more sense);
  9546 
  9547 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9548   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9549   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9550 
  9551 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9552 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9553 literature);
  9554 
  9555 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9556 the well-founded relation;
  9557 
  9558 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9559     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
  9560     release ONLY.
  9561 
  9562 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
  9563     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
  9564 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9565 
  9566 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
  9567 
  9568 * HOL/List:
  9569   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
  9570     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
  9571   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
  9572     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
  9573     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
  9574   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
  9575 
  9576 * HOL/Arith:
  9577   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
  9578   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
  9579   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
  9580   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
  9581 
  9582 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
  9583 instead of "inverse";
  9584 
  9585 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
  9586   of the multiset ordering;
  9587 
  9588 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
  9589   (not included by default);
  9590 
  9591 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
  9592 
  9593 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
  9594   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
  9595 
  9596 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9597   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9598   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9599 
  9600 
  9601 *** ZF ***
  9602 
  9603 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
  9604   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
  9605 
  9606 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9607   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9608   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9609 
  9610 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
  9611     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
  9612   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9613 
  9614 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
  9615 
  9616 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9617   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9618   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9619 
  9620 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
  9621     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
  9622 
  9623 
  9624 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9625 
  9626 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
  9627 also src/Pure/README;
  9628 
  9629 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
  9630 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
  9631 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
  9632 print_data function becomes basically useless;
  9633 
  9634 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
  9635 are qualified by default;
  9636 
  9637 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
  9638 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
  9639 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
  9640 
  9641 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
  9642 cterm -> thm;
  9643 
  9644 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
  9645 subgoal;
  9646 
  9647 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
  9648 
  9649 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
  9650 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
  9651 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
  9652 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
  9653 for example;
  9654

  9656 
  9657 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
  9658 --------------------------------
  9659 
  9660 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9661 
  9662 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
  9663 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
  9664 
  9665 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
  9666 simpset / simpset_ref;
  9667 
  9668 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
  9669 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
  9670 
  9671 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
  9672 
  9673 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
  9674 
  9675 
  9676 *** General Changes ***
  9677 
  9678 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
  9679 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
  9680 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
  9681 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
  9682 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
  9683 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
  9684 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
  9685 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
  9686 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
  9687 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
  9688 section;
  9689 
  9690 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
  9691 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
  9692 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
  9693 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
  9694 to patch your ML files accordingly;
  9695 
  9696 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
  9697 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
  9698 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
  9699 
  9700 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
  9701 conditional equations;
  9702 
  9703 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
  9704 
  9705 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
  9706 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
  9707 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
  9708 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
  9709 
  9710 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
  9711 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
  9712 
  9713 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
  9714 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
  9715 
  9716 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
  9717 show_types);
  9718 
  9719 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
  9720 
  9721 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
  9722 
  9723 * removed old README and Makefiles;
  9724 
  9725 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
  9726 
  9727 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
  9728 
  9729 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
  9730     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
  9731 
  9732 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
  9733 (which abbreviates $HOME);
  9734 
  9735 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
  9736 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
  9737 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
  9738 
  9739 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
  9740 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
  9741 
  9742 
  9743 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9744 
  9745 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
  9746 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
  9747 splitting it into several subgoals;
  9748 
  9749 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
  9750 
  9751 
  9752 *** Simplifier ***
  9753 
  9754 * added simplification meta rules:
  9755     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
  9756 
  9757 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
  9758 logics (again);
  9759 
  9760 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
  9761 
  9762 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
  9763   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
  9764   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
  9765 
  9766 
  9767 *** Syntax ***
  9768 
  9769 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
  9770 
  9771 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
  9772 
  9773 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
  9774 
  9775 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
  9776 
  9777 
  9778 *** HOL ***
  9779 
  9780 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9781   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9782 
  9783 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
  9784 
  9785 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
  9786   protocol TLS;
  9787 
  9788 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
  9789 
  9790 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
  9791 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
  9792 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
  9793 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
  9794 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
  9795 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
  9796 
  9797 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
  9798   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
  9799   are rewritten to
  9800   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
  9801   and those of the form
  9802   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
  9803   are rewritten to
  9804   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
  9805 
  9806 * HOL/datatype
  9807   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
  9808 
  9809   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9810      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
  9811         ...
  9812        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9813      )
  9814 
  9815   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
  9816 
  9817   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9818     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
  9819         ...
  9820        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9821      )
  9822   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
  9823   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
  9824   split_list_case and split_option_case.
  9825 
  9826 * HOL/Arithmetic:
  9827   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
  9828     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
  9829     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
  9830   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
  9831     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
  9832     `standard'.
  9833 
  9834 * HOL/Lists:
  9835   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
  9836   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
  9837   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
  9838 
  9839 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
  9840 
  9841 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
  9842   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
  9843 
  9844 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
  9845 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
  9846 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
  9847 
  9848 
  9849 *** HOLCF ***
  9850 
  9851 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
  9852 
  9853 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
  9854   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
  9855 
  9856 * domain package:
  9857   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
  9858   . creates hierachical name space,
  9859   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
  9860   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
  9861   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
  9862   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
  9863   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
  9864     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
  9865 
  9866 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
  9867 
  9868 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
  9869 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
  9870 
  9871 
  9872 *** FOL and ZF ***
  9873 
  9874 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9875   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9876 
  9877 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
  9878 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
  9879 
  9880 
  9881 
  9882 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
  9883 ------------------------------
  9884 
  9885 *** General Changes ***
  9886 
  9887 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
  9888 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
  9889 
  9890 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
  9891 
  9892 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
  9893 
  9894 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
  9895 messages and clean internal interface;
  9896 
  9897 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
  9898 setting goals_limit);
  9899 
  9900 
  9901 *** Syntax ***
  9902 
  9903 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
  9904 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
  9905 
  9906 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
  9907 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
  9908 "symbols" syntax table;
  9909 
  9910 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
  9911 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
  9912 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
  9913 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
  9914 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
  9915 
  9916 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
  9917 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
  9918 version of xterm);
  9919 
  9920 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
  9921 
  9922 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
  9923 access type of constant);
  9924 
  9925 
  9926 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9927 
  9928 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
  9929 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
  9930   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
  9931   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
  9932         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
  9933   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
  9934   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
  9935     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
  9936   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
  9937 
  9938 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
  9939 assumptions;
  9940 
  9941 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
  9942 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
  9943 (and access functions for it);
  9944 
  9945 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
  9946   + functions for handling clasimpsets
  9947   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
  9948     safe steps.
  9949   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
  9950     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
  9951     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
  9952 
  9953 *** Simplifier ***
  9954 
  9955 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
  9956 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
  9957 redex);
  9958 
  9959 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
  9960 
  9961 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
  9962 
  9963 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
  9964 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
  9965 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
  9966 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
  9967 
  9968 
  9969 *** HOL ***
  9970 
  9971 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
  9972 also for type `nat';
  9973 
  9974 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
  9975 datatypes and also for type `nat';
  9976 
  9977 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
  9978 
  9979 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
  9980 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
  9981 
  9982 * primrec now also works with type nat;
  9983 
  9984 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
  9985 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
  9986 
  9987 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
  9988 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
  9989 
  9990 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
  9991 infinite lists;
  9992 
  9993 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
  9994 
  9995 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
  9996 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
  9997 
  9998 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
  9999 
 10000 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10001 
 10002 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10003 
 10004 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10005 
 10006 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10007   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10008   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10009   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10010   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10011   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10012   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10013   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10014   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10015 
 10016 
 10017 *** ZF ***
 10018 
 10019 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10020 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10021 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10022 
 10023 
 10024 
 10025 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10026 ---------------------------------
 10027 
 10028 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10029 
 10030 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10031 
 10032 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10033 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10034 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10035 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10036 
 10037 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10038 
 10039 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10040 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10041 
 10042 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10043 
 10044 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10045 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10046 
 10047 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10048 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10049 
 10050 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10051 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10052 
 10053 
 10054 
 10055 New in Isabelle94-6
 10056 -------------------
 10057 
 10058 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10059 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10060 
 10061 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10062 
 10063 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10064 
 10065 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10066 
 10067 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10068 
 10069 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10070 
 10071 
 10072 
 10073 New in Isabelle94-5
 10074 -------------------
 10075 
 10076 * reduced space requirements;
 10077 
 10078 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10079 
 10080 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10081 
 10082 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10083 
 10084 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10085 
 10086 
 10087 
 10088 New in Isabelle94-4
 10089 -------------------
 10090 
 10091 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10092 
 10093 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10094 
 10095 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10096 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10097 
 10098 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10099 Axiom of Choice;
 10100 
 10101 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10102 
 10103 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10104 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10105 
 10106 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10107 
 10108 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10109 translates to the operator "split";
 10110 
 10111 
 10112 
 10113 New in Isabelle94-3
 10114 -------------------
 10115 
 10116 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10117 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10118         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10119 
 10120 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10121 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10122 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10123 
 10124 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10125 
 10126 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10127 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10128 
 10129 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10130 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10131 
 10132 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10133 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10134 
 10135 
 10136 
 10137 New in Isabelle94-2
 10138 -------------------
 10139 
 10140 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10141 
 10142 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10143 freely;
 10144 
 10145 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10146 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10147 
 10148 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10149 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10150 (theory_of_thm);
 10151 
 10152 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10153 
 10154 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10155 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10156 
 10157 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10158 have been removed;
 10159 
 10160 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10161 
 10162 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10163 
 10164 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10165 types;
