     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    10 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    11 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    12 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    13 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    14 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    15 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    16 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    17 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    18 syntax.
    19 
    20 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    21 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    24 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    25 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    26 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    27 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    28 
    29 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    30 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    31 
    32 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
    33 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
    34 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation, with its
    35 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs, has been discontinued.
    36 The default chapter is "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for HTML
    37 presentation of theories.
    38 
    39 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    40 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    41 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    44 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    45 
    46 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    47 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    48 
    49 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    50 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    51 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    52 
    53 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    54 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    55 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    56 
    57 
    58 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    59 
    60 * Improved "Theories" panel: Continuous checking of proof document
    61 (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly, using check
    62 box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may be marked
    63 explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box or
    64 shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    65 
    66 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancelation of
    67 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    68 such command executions while editing.
    69 
    70 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    71 document content.
    72 
    73 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    74 toplevel theorem statements.
    75 
    76 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    77 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    78 
    79 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    80 documentation.
    81 
    82 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    83 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    84 normal editing and checking process.
    85 
    86 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    87 timing information.
    88 
    89 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
    90 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
    91 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
    92 
    93 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
    94 / Global Options / Appearance".
    95 
    96 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
    97 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.
    98 
    99   - Various Isabelle plugin options to control popup behaviour and
   100     immediate insertion into buffer.
   101 
   102   - Light-weight popup, which avoids explicit window (more reactive
   103     and more robust).  Interpreted key events include TAB, ESCAPE, UP,
   104     DOWN, PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN.  All other key events are passed to
   105     the jEdit text area.
   106 
   107   - Explicit completion via standard jEdit shortcut C+b, which has
   108     been remapped to action "isabelle.complete" (fall-back on regular
   109     "complete-word" for non-Isabelle buffers).
   110 
   111   - Implicit completion via keyboard input on text area, with popup or
   112     immediate insertion into buffer.
   113 
   114   - Implicit completion of plain words requires at least 3 characters
   115     (was 2 before).
   116 
   117   - Immediate completion ignores plain words; it requires > 1
   118     characters of symbol abbreviation to complete, otherwise fall-back
   119     on completion popup.
   120 
   121   - Isabelle Symbols are only completed in backslashed forms,
   122     e.g. \forall or \<forall> that both produce the Isabelle symbol
   123     \<forall> in its Unicode rendering.
   124 
   125   - Refined table of Isabelle symbol abbreviations (see
   126     $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   127 
   128 
   129 *** Pure ***
   130 
   131 * Type theory is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   132 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   133 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   134 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   135 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   136 
   137 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   138 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   139 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   140 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   141 
   142 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   143 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   144 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   145 
   146 * Target-sensitive commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale'.
   147 Particulary, 'interpretation' now allows for non-persistent
   148 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks.  See
   149 "isar-ref" manual for details.
   150 
   151 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   152 
   153 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   154 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   155 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   156 
   157 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   158 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   159 
   160 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   161 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   162 situations.
   163 
   164 
   165 *** HOL ***
   166 
   167 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   168 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   169 
   170 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   171 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   172 to distinguish both when desired.
   173 
   174 * Code generator:
   175   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   176     'code_instance'.
   177   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   178     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   179   See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories
   180   for examples.
   181 
   182 * HOL/BNF:
   183   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including a
   184     "primrec_new" command, a "datatype_new_compat" command, and
   185     documentation. See "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   186   - Renamed keywords:
   187     data ~> datatype_new
   188     codata ~> codatatype
   189     bnf_def ~> bnf
   190   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   191     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   192     map_id' ~> map_id
   193     set_map' ~> set_map
   194 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   195 
   196 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   197 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   198 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   199 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   200 
   201 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   202 automatically generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x =
   203 t".
   204 
   205 * New command "fun_cases" derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   206 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   207 inductive_cases.  See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   208 
   209 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   210   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   211   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   212     generated code.
   213   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   214   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   215   - Fact renames:
   216     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   217     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   218     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   219 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   220 
   221 * Reification and reflection:
   222   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   223     "Reification".
   224   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   225   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   226 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   227 
   228 * Weaker precendence of syntax for big intersection and union on sets,
   229 in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   230 
   231 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   232 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   233 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   234 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   235 
   236   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   237 
   238 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   239 
   240 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   241   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   242     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   243     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   244   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   245     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   246   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   247     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   248     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   249     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   250     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   251     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   252     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   253     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly. 
   254   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   255     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   256   - Fact renames:
   257       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   258       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   259 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   260 
   261 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   262 
   263 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.
   264 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   265 
   266 * Discontinued obsolete src/HOL/IsaMakefile (considered legacy since
   267 Isabelle2013).  Use "isabelle build" to operate on Isabelle sessions.
   268 
   269 * Numeric types mapped by default to target language numerals: natural
   270 (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former code_int).
   271 Conversions are available as integer_of_natural / natural_of_integer /
   272 integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   273 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   274 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   275 
   276 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   277 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   278 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   279 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   280 
   281 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type 
   282 class ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems
   283 lose the class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   284 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   285 
   286 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   287 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   288 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   289 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   290 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   291 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   292 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   293 lemmas.
   294 
   295 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   296 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   297 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   298 
   299 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   300 top and bottom elements.
   301 
   302 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   303 
   304 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   305 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   306 
   307  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and linear_continuum_topology.
   308    Allows to generalize theorems about limits and order.
   309    Instances are reals and extended reals.
   310 
   311  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   312    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.
   313    "isCont" is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   314 
   315    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an arbitrary
   316    filter.
   317 
   318  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma
   319    to prove compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   320    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a continuous
   321    function is continuous, when the function is continuous on a compact set.
   322 
   323  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   324    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   325    linear_continuum_topology).
   326 
   327  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   328    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and on
   329    all sequences converging to x.
   330 
   331  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved theorems
   332    from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the definition of DERIV on
   333    FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV which are restricted to sets,
   334    i.e. to represent derivatives from left or right.
   335 
   336  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   337 
   338      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   339 
   340  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   341    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   342 
   343  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros, continuous_intros,
   344    continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems in tendsto_intros (or
   345    FDERIV_intros) are also available as tendsto_eq_intros (or
   346    FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side is replaced by a congruence
   347    rule. This allows to apply them as intro rules and then proving
   348    equivalence by the simplifier.
   349 
   350  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   351 
   352    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   353 
   354    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   355      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   356 
   357    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   358 
   359    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces, Real_Vector_Spaces, and
   360      Limits
   361 
   362    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   363 
   364    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   365 
   366  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   367 
   368 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   369 
   370 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   371 
   372     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   373     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   374 
   375 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   376 
   377 * Sledgehammer:
   378 
   379   - Renamed option:
   380       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   381 
   382 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   383 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   384 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   385 
   386 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   387 .../poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   388 src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides integration
   389 with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   390 
   391 
   392 *** ML ***
   393 
   394 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   395 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   396 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   397 Examples.thy in particular.
   398 
   399 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   400 
   401     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   402     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   403 
   404 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   405 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   406 
   407 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   408 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   409 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   410 clasets separately from the context.
   411 
   412 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   413 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   414 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   415 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   416 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   417 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   418 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   419 
   420 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   421 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   422 
   423 
   424 *** System ***
   425 
   426 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   427 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   428 
   429 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   430 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   431 
   432 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   433 settings variable.
   434 
   435 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   436 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   437 always pdf.
   438 
   439 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   440 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   441 
   442 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   443 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   444 
   445 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   446 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   447 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   448

   451 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   452 -----------------------------------
   453 
   454 *** General ***
   455 
   456 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   457 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   458 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   459 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   460 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   461 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   462 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   463 
   464 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   465 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   466 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   467 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   468 
   469 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   470 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   471 
   472 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   473 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   474 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   475 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   476 dependencies properly.
   477 
   478 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   479 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   480 
   481 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   482 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   483 
   484 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   485 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   486 and "class ... context ...".
   487 
   488 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   489 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   490 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   491 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   492 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   493 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   494 
   495 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   496 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   497 
   498 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   499 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   500 
   501 
   502 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   503 
   504 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   505 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   506 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   507 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   508 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   509 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   510 
   511 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   512 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   513 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   514 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   515 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   516 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   517 
   518 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   519 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   520 browser on demand.
   521 
   522 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   523 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   524 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   525 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   526 
   527 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   528 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   529 
   530 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   531 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   532 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   533 potentially infinite message streams.
   534 
   535 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   536 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   537 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   538 schemes.
   539 
   540 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   541 symbols.
   542 
   543 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   544 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   545 
   546 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   547 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   548 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   549 
   550 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   551 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   552 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   553 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   554 
   555 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   556 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   557 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   558 
   559 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   560 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   561 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   562 Isabelle distribution.
   563 
   564 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   565 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   566 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   567 
   568 
   569 *** Pure ***
   570 
   571 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   572 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   573 
   574 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   575 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   576 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   577 
   578 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   579 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   580 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   581 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   582 with some care where this is really required.
   583 
   584 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   585 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   586 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   587 
   588   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   589 
   590 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   591 a Hasse diagram.
   592 
   593 
   594 *** HOL ***
   595 
   596 * Sledgehammer:
   597 
   598   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   599     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   600   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   601   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   602   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   603   - Renamed options:
   604       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   605       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   606       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   607       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   608 
   609 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   610 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   611 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   612 
   613 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   614 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   615 
   616 * Lifting:
   617   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   618   - quot_del attribute
   619   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   620 
   621 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   622 expressions.
   623 
   624 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   625 pointfree expressions.
   626 
   627 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   628 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   629 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   630 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   631 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   632 
   633 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   634 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   635 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   636 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   637 accordingly.
   638 
   639 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   640 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   641 
   642 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   643 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   644 
   645 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   646 
   647 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   648 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   649 
   650 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   651 
   652 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   653 
   654   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   655   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   656 
   657 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   658 
   659 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   660 
   661   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   662   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   663 
   664 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   665 
   666 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   667 
   668   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   669     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   670     output f x converges to G.
   671 
   672   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   673     infinity (at_bot).
   674 
   675   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   676     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   677 
   678   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   679     at_top".
   680 
   681 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   682 
   683 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   684 lattice type classes.
   685 
   686 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   687 
   688     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   689     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   690 
   691 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   692 
   693 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   694 changes as follows.
   695 
   696   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   697 
   698       prefix ~> prefixeq
   699       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   700 
   701   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   702     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   703     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   704     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   705 
   706   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   707     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   708     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   709 
   710   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   711     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   712     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   713     Library/Prefix_Order.
   714 
   715   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   716     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   717 
   718       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   719       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   720       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   721       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   722       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   723       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   724       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   725       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   726       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   727       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   728       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   729       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   730       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   731       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   732       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   733       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   734 
   735 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   736 
   737 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   738 
   739 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   740 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   741 
   742 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   743 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   744 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   745 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   746 
   747   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   748   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   749   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   750   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   751   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   752   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   753   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   754   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   755   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   756   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   757 
   758 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   759 
   760 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   761 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   762 Data").
   763 
   764 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   765 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   766 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   767 code.
   768 
   769 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   770 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   771 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   772 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   773 
   774 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   775 
   776 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   777 
   778 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   779 
   780   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   781   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   782 
   783 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   784 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   785 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   786 
   787   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   788 
   789     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   790     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   791     cart_base i  removed
   792     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   793 
   794   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   795 
   796   Renamed lemmas:
   797 
   798     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   799     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   800     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   801     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   802     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   803     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   804     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   805     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   806     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   807     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   808 
   809 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   810 
   811 * HOL/Probability:
   812 
   813   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   814 
   815   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   816     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   817     (borel_measurable_induct).
   818 
   819   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   820     projective family).
   821 
   822 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   823 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   824 
   825 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   826 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   827 datatypes.
   828 
   829 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   830 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   831 
   832 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   833 trees for the code generator.
   834 
   835 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   836 Lifting/Transfer.
   837 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   838 
   839 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   840 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   841 
   842 
   843 *** Document preparation ***
   844 
   845 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   846 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   847 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   848 
   849 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   850 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   851 
   852 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   853 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   854 document/root.tex.
   855 
   856 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   857 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   858 
   859 
   860 *** ML ***
   861 
   862 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   863 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   864 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   865 
   866 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   867 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   868 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   869 
   870 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   871 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   872 necessarily printing visible text.
   873 
   874 
   875 *** System ***
   876 
   877 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   878 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   879 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   880 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   881 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   882 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   883 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   884 
   885 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   886 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   887 
   888   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   889 
   890 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   891 
   892 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   893 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   894 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   895 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   896 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   897 
   898 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   899 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   900 
   901 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   902 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   903 
   904 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   905 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   906 
   907 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   908 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   909 version of Isabelle.
   910 
   911 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   912 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   913 
   914 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   915 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   916 for home-made settings.
   917 
   918 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   919 
   920 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   921 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   922 configuration.
   923 
   924 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   925 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   926 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   927 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   928 bundled as Isabelle component.
   929 
   930 
   931 
   932 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   933 ------------------------------
   934 
   935 *** General ***
   936 
   937 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   938 
   939   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   940     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   941   - markup for bound variables
   942   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   943   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   944   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   945     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   946 
   947 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   948 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   949 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   950 
   951 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   952 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   953 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   954 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   955 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   956 
   957   context
   958     fixes x y z :: 'a
   959     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   960   begin
   961 
   962   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   963 
   964   end
   965 
   966   thm my_trans
   967 
   968 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   969 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   970 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   971 
   972 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   973 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   974 
   975 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   976 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   977 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   978 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   979 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   980 
   981 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   982 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   983 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   984 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   985 indices of schematic variables.
   986 
   987 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   988 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   989 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   990 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   991 etc. was exploited.
   992 
   993 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   994 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   995 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   996 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   997 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   998 of the material of that old tutorial.
   999 
  1000 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1001 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1002 manual.
  1003 
  1004 
  1005 *** Pure ***
  1006 
  1007 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1008 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1009 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1010 
  1011 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1012 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1013 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1014 undocumented feature.)
  1015 
  1016 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1017 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1018 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1019 
  1020   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1021 
  1022   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1023     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1024 
  1025 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1026 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1027 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1028 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1029 
  1030 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1031 
  1032     num ~> num_token
  1033     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1034     xstr ~> str_token
  1035 
  1036 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1037 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1038 position information via constraints).
  1039 
  1040 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1041 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1042 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1043 
  1044 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1045 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1046 
  1047 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1048 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1049 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1050 
  1051 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1052 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1053 
  1054 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1055 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1056 
  1057   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1058 
  1059 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1060 
  1061 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1062 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1063 
  1064 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1065 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1066 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1067 
  1068 
  1069 *** HOL ***
  1070 
  1071 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1072 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1073 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1074 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1075 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1076 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1077 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1078 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1079 possible.
  1080 
  1081 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1082 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1083 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1084 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1085 
  1086 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1087 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1088 
  1089 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1090 
  1091 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1092 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1093 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1094 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1095 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1096 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1097 
  1098   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1099     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1100 
  1101   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1102     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1103     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1104 
  1105   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1106     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1107 
  1108   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1109     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1110     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1111 
  1112   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1113     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1114 
  1115 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1116 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1117 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1118 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1119 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1120 
  1121   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1122     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1123     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1124     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1125     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1126 
  1127     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1128     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1129 
  1130   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1131     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1132     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1133     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1134     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1135     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1136     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1137     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1138 
  1139   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1140     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1141     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1142     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1143 
  1144   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1145     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1146     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1147     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1148 
  1149   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1150     from type nat to type int.
  1151 
  1152 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1153 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1154 
  1155   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1156     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1157     type.  Example syntax:
  1158 
  1159     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1160       is List.insert
  1161 
  1162     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1163     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1164     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1165     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1166     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1167     by the package.
  1168 
  1169   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1170     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1171     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1172     code generation for each constant.
  1173 
  1174   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1175     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1176     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1177     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1178     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1179 
  1180   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1181     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1182     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1183 
  1184 * Quotient package:
  1185 
  1186   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1187     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1188 
  1189   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1190     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1191 
  1192   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1193     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1194     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1195 
  1196   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1197     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1198 
  1199 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1200 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1201 
  1202 * Quickcheck:
  1203 
  1204   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1205     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1206     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1207     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1208     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1209 
  1210     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1211     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1212     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1213 
  1214     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1215     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1216 
  1217     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1218     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1219     show genuine counterexamples.
  1220 
  1221   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1222     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1223 
  1224     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1225     constructors of that type.
  1226 
  1227   - Support for multisets.
  1228 
  1229   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1230 
  1231   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1232     conjectures in a locale context.
  1233 
  1234 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1235 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1236 
  1237 * Sledgehammer:
  1238   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1239     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1240   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1241   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1242     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1243   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1244   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1245   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1246   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1247 
  1248 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1249 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1250 
  1251 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1252 
  1253 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1254 
  1255 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1256 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1257 
  1258   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1259 
  1260 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1261 a list and a nat.
  1262 
  1263 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1264 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1265 
  1266 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1267 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1268 default.
  1269 
  1270 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1271 
  1272   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1273 
  1274 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1275 
  1276 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1277 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1278 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1279 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1280 one_case.
  1281 
  1282 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1283 the result of the fact expression.
  1284 
  1285 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1286 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1287 of some relation theorems:
  1288 
  1289   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1290   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1291   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1292   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1293   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1294   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1295 
  1296 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1297 
  1298 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1299 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1300 
  1301 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1302 
  1303 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1304 to match the constant's name:
  1305 
  1306   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1307   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  1308   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  1309   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  1310   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  1311   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  1312   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  1313   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  1314   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  1315   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  1316   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  1317   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  1318   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  1319   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  1320   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  1321   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  1322   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  1323   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  1324   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  1325   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  1326   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  1327   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1328   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1329   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  1330 
  1331 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1332 
  1333 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  1334 and corresponding theorem names:
  1335 
  1336   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  1337 
  1338   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  1339 
  1340   - Renamed theorems:
  1341 
  1342     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  1343     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  1344     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  1345     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq

  1738 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1739 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1740 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1741 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1742 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1743 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1744 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1745 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1746 
  1747 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1748 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1749 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1750 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1751 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1752 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1753 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1754 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1755 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1756 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1757 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1758 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1784   image_space
  1785   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1920 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1921 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1922 
  1923 
  1924 *** FOL ***
  1925 
  1926 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1927 
  1928 
  1929 *** ZF ***
  1930 
  1931 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1932 analysis.
  1933 
  1934 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1935 
  1936 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1937 
  1938 
  1939 *** ML ***
  1940 
  1941 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1942 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1943 
  1944 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1945 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1946 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1947 
  1948 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1949 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1950 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1951 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1952 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1953 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1954 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1955 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1956 
  1957 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1958 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1959 
  1960 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1961 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1962 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1963 
  1964 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1965 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1966 
  1967 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1968 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1969 context as well.
  1970 
  1971 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1972 
  1973   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1974   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1975   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong

  1981   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1982   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1983   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1984   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1985 
  1986 
  1987 *** System ***
  1988 
  1989 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1990 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1991 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1992 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1993 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1994 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1995 the generic user home was intended.
  1996 
  1997 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1998 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1999 
  2000 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2001 (not just JRE).
  2002 
  2003 
  2004 
  2005 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2006 ------------------------------------
  2007 
  2008 *** General ***
  2009 
  2010 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2011 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2012 
  2013   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2014     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2015     files for checking).
  2016 
  2017   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2018     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2019     positions.
  2020 
  2021   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2022     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2023     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2024 
  2025   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2026     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2027     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2028 
  2029   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2030     cores.
  2031 
  2032   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2033     versions (garbage collection).
  2034 
  2035 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2036 including some remaining limitations.
  2037 
  2038 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2039 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2040 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2041 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2042 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2043 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2044 
  2045 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2046 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2047 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2048 
  2049 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2050 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2051 usedir option -Q.
  2052 
  2053 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2054 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2055 
  2056   long_names   ~> names_long
  2057   short_names  ~> names_short
  2058   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2059 
  2060 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2061 
  2062   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2063 
  2064 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2065 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2066 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2067 
  2068 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2069 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2070 
  2071 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2072   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2073   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2074   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2075     "Classical Reasoner".
  2076 
  2077 
  2078 *** HOL ***
  2079 
  2080 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2081 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2082 
  2083 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2084 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2085 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2086 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2087 class complete_linorder.
  2088 
  2089 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2090 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2091 
  2092 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2093 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):

  2127 
  2128 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2129 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2130 
  2131 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2132 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2133 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2134 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2135 
  2136 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2137 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2138 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2139 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2140 
  2141 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2142 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2143 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2144 
  2145 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2146 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2147 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2148 
  2149 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2150 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2151 
  2152 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2153 
  2154     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2155     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2156 
  2157 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2158 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2159 
  2160 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2161 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2162 
  2163 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2164 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2165 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2166 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2262 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2263 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2264 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2265 
  2266 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2267 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2268 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2269 
  2270 * Code generation:
  2271 
  2272   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2273     characters in the target language.
  2274 
  2275   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2276     instead.
  2277 
  2278   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2279 
  2280   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2281     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2282 
  2283       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2284 
  2285 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2286 
  2287 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2288 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2289 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2290 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2291 syntax.
  2292 
  2293 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2294 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2295 
  2296 * Nitpick:
  2297   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2298   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2299   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2300     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2301 
  2302 * Sledgehammer:
  2303   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2304   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2305     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2306   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2307     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2308   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2309     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2310   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2311     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2312   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2313     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2314 
  2315 * Metis:
  2316   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2317   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2318     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2319 
  2320 * Command 'try':
  2321   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2322     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2323   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2324     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2325 
  2326 * Quickcheck:
  2327   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2328     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2329   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2330     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2331   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2332     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2333     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2334     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2335   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2336     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2337 
  2338 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2339 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2340 
  2341 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2342 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2343 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2344 
  2345 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2346 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2347 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2348 
  2349 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2350 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2351 
  2352 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2353 arithmetic.
  2354 
  2355 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2356 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2357 and lattice type classes.
  2358 
  2359 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2360 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2361 
  2362 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2363 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2364 
  2365 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2366 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2367 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2368 
  2369   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2370   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2371   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2372   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2373 
  2374 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2375 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2376 constants:
  2377 
  2378   type inat   ~> type enat
  2379   Fin         ~> enat
  2380   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2381   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2382   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2383 
  2384 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2385 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2386 
  2387 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2388 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2389 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2390 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2391 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2392 
  2393 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2394 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2395 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2396 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2397 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2398 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2399 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2400 
  2401   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2402   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2403   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2404   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2405 
  2406 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2407 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2408 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2463   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2464   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2465   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2466   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2467     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2498 *** Document preparation ***
  2499 
  2500 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2501 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2502 same.
  2503 
  2504 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2505 result.
  2506 
  2507 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2508 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2509 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2510 
  2511 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2512 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2513 
  2514 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2515 like this:
  2516 
  2517   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2518   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2519 
  2520 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2521 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2522 layouts.
  2523 
  2524 
  2525 *** ML ***
  2526 
  2527 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2528 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2529 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2530 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2531 under external program control.
  2532 
  2533 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2534 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2535 
  2536 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2537 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2538 (better known as Proof General).
  2539 
  2540 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2541 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2542 
  2543 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2544 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2545 
  2546 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2547 (including quotes etc.).
  2548 
  2549 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2550 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2551 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2552 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2553 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2554 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2555 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2556 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2557 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2558 
  2559 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2560 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2561 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2562 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2563 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2564 
  2565 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2566 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2567 
  2568 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2569 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2570 
  2571 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2572 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2573 
  2574 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2575 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2576 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2577 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2578 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2579 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2580 proper Proof.context.
  2581 
  2582 
  2583 *** System ***
  2584 
  2585 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2586 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2587 
  2588 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2589 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2590 
  2591 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2592 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2593 
  2594   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2595   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2596   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2597   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2598   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2599 
  2600 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2601 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2602 
  2603 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2604 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2605 example:
  2606 
  2607   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2608 
  2609 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2610 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2611 
  2612 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2613 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2614 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2615 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2616 
  2617 
  2618 
  2619 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2620 ----------------------------------
  2621 
  2622 *** General ***
  2623 
  2624 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2625 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2626 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2627 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2628 like this:
  2629 
  2630   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2631 
  2632 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2633 
  2634 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2635 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2636 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2637 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2638 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2639 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2640 
  2641 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2642 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2643 the following package declarations:
  2644 
  2645   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2646   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2647 
  2648 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2649 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2650 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2651 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2652 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2653 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2654 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2655 
  2656 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2657 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2658 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2659 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2660 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2661 
  2662 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2663 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2664 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2665 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2666 
  2667 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2668 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2669 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2670 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2671 
  2672   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  2673 
  2674   eta_contract                  eta_contract

  2676   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  2677   show_types                    show_types

  2680   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  2681 
  2682   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  2683   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  2684   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2685 
  2686   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2687   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2688 
  2689   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2690 
  2691   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  2692   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  2693   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2694   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2695   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2696 
  2697 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2698 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2699 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2700 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2701 
  2702 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2703 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2704 
  2705   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2706   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2707 
  2708 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2709 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2710 float_token.
  2711 
  2712 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2713 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2714 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2715 
  2716 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2717 DejaVu Sans.
  2718 
  2719 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2720 
  2721 
  2722 *** Pure ***
  2723 
  2724 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2725 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2726 time.
  2727 
  2728 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2729 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2730 
  2731 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2732 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2733 
  2734 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2735 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2736 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2737 command already provided this functionality.
  2738 
  2739 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2740 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2741 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2742 without interpretations.
  2743 
  2744 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2745 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2746 
  2747 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2748 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2749 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2750 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2751 
  2752 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2753 'definition' instead.
  2754 
  2755 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2756 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2757 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2758 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2759 
  2760 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2761 constructors.
  2762 
  2763 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2764 the local file system.
  2765 
  2766 
  2767 *** HOL ***
  2768 
  2769 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2770 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2771 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2772 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2773 
  2774   declare [[coercion f]]
  2775 
  2776 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2777 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2778 
  2779   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2780 
  2781 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2782 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2783 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2784 other theories like this:
  2785 
  2786   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2787 
  2788 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2789 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2790 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2791 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2792 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2793 for examples.
  2794 
  2795 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2796 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2797 
  2798 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2799 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2800 
  2801 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2802 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2803 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2804 
  2805 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2806 functorial structure of types.
  2807 
  2808 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2809 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2810 
  2811 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2812 languages.
  2813 
  2814 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2815 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2816 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2817 
  2818 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2819 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2820 
  2821 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2822 combinators any longer.
  2823 
  2824 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2825 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2826 
  2827 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2828 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2829 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2830 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2831 
  2832   record 'a foo = ...
  2833   ...
  2834   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2835 
  2836 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2837 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2838 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2839 
  2840 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2841 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2842 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2843 
  2844 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2845 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2846 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2847 
  2848 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2849 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2850 
  2851 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2852 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2853 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2854 independently.
  2855 
  2856 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2857 counter example search.
  2858 
  2859 * Sledgehammer:
  2860   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2861     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2862     sledgehammer").
  2863   - Renamed commands:
  2864     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2865     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2866     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2867     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2868   - Renamed options:
  2869     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2870     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2871     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2872     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2873     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2874 
  2875 * Nitpick:
  2876   - Renamed options:
  2877     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2878     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2879     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2880   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2881   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2882   - Added "whack" option.
  2883   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2884   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2885   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2886   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2887     higher cardinalities.
  2888   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2889 
  2890 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2891 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2892 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2893 
  2894     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2895 
  2896 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2897 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2898 
  2899 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2900 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2901 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2902 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2903 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2904 "smt_solver".
  2905 
  2906 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2907 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2908 
  2909 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2910 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2911 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2912 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2913 
  2914 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2915   - Renamed:
  2916     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2917     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2918     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2919   - Added:
  2920     smt_verbose
  2921     smt_random_seed
  2922     smt_datatypes
  2923     smt_infer_triggers
  2924     smt_monomorph_limit
  2925     cvc3_options
  2926     remote_cvc3_options
  2927     remote_z3_options
  2928     yices_options
  2929 
  2930 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2931 header.
  2932 
  2933 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2934 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2935 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2936 
  2937   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2938 
  2939 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2940 
  2941 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2942 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2943 
  2944 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2945 
  2946 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2947 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2948 
  2949 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2950 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2951 
  2952 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2953 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2954 
  2955 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2956 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2957 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2958 
  2959 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2960 
  2961 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2962 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2963 
  2964 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2965 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2966 
  2967 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2968 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2969 for congruent(2)).
  2970 
  2971 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2972 
  2973   types
  2974     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2975     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2976 
  2977   constants

  2979     True ~> HOL.True
  2980     False ~> HOL.False
  2981     op & ~> HOL.conj
  2982     op | ~> HOL.disj
  2983     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  2984     op = ~> HOL.eq

  2999     op : ~> Set.member
  3000     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3001 
  3002 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3003 
  3004 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3005 
  3006     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3007     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3008     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3009     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3010     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3011     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3012     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3013     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3014 
  3015 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3016 
  3017 * More stylized fact names:
  3018 
  3019   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3020   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3021   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3022   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3023 
  3024 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3025 
  3026 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3027 
  3028   constants
  3029     null ~> List.null
  3030 
  3031   facts
  3032     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3033     null_empty ~> null_def
  3034 
  3035 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3036 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3037 generation.
  3038 
  3039 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3040 Haskell code.
  3041 
  3042 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3043 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3044 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3045 
  3046 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3047 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3048 
  3049 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3050 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3051 
  3052 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3053 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3054 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3055 
  3056 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3057 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3058 
  3059 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3060 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3061 
  3062 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3063 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3064 referred to by its qualified name.
  3065 
  3066   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3067   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3068   product ~>  Enum.product
  3069 
  3070 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3071 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3072 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3073 
  3074 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3075 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3076 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3077 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3078 
  3079 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3080 sort_key.
  3081 
  3082 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3083 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3084 
  3085 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3086 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3087 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3088 
  3089   types
  3090     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3091               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3092               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3093         (depends on your needs)
  3094 
  3095   constants
  3096      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3097      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3098      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3099 
  3100 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3101 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3102 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3103 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3104 
  3105 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3106 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3107 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3108 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3109 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3110 
  3111 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3112 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3113 
  3114 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3115 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3116 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3117 
  3118 
  3119 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3120 
  3121 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3122 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3123 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3124 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3125 compatibility.
  3126 
  3127 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3128 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3129 
  3130 
  3131 *** HOLCF ***
  3132 
  3133 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3134 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3135 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3136 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3137 
  3138 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3139 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3140 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3141 
  3142   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3143   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3144   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3145 
  3146 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3147 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3148 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3149 
  3150 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3151 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3152 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3153 domain definition now works:
  3154 
  3155   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3156 
  3157 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3158 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3159 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3160 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3161 
  3162   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3163     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3164 
  3165   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3166 
  3167 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3168 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3169 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3170 
  3171 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3172 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3173 
  3174 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3175 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3176 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3177 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3178 
  3179 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3180 
  3181 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3182 
  3183 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3184 
  3185 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3186 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3187 
  3188 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3189 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3190 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3191 
  3192 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3193 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3194 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3195 
  3196 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3197 still supported as an input translation.
  3198 
  3199 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3200 
  3201   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3202   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3203   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3204   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3205   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3206   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3207   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3208 
  3209 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3210 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3211 
  3212   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3213   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3214   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3215   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3216   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3217   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3218 
  3219 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3220 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3221 
  3222 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3223 
  3224   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3225   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3226   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3227   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3228 
  3229 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3230 
  3231 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3232 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3233 
  3234 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3235 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3307 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3308 
  3309 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3310 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3311 
  3312 
  3313 *** ML ***
  3314 
  3315 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3316 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3317 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3318 
  3319 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3320 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3321 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3322 
  3323 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3324 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3325 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3326 
  3327 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3328 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3329 
  3330 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3331 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3332 
  3333 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3334 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3335 
  3336 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3337 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3338 
  3339 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3340 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3341 almost all situations.
  3342 
  3343 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3344 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3345 Isabelle/ML.
  3346 
  3347 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3348 meaning.
  3349 
  3350 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3351 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3352 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3353 
  3354 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3355 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3356 
  3357 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3358 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3359 
  3360 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3361 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3362 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3363 
  3364 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3365 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3366 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3367 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3368 configuration options.
  3369 
  3370 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3371 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3372 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3373 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3374 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3375 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3376 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3379 
  3380 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3381 ---------------------------------
  3382 
  3383 *** General ***
  3384 
  3385 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3386 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3387 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3388 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3389 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3390 their full internal name.
  3391 
  3392 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3393 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3394 Some hints on upgrading:
  3395 
  3396   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3397     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3398     which are independent of this issue.
  3399 
  3400   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3401     provides the following special forms:
  3402 
  3403       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3404       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3405       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3406 
  3407     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3408     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3409     extra variables".
  3410 
  3411     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3412     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3413     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3414     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3415     "logic".
  3416 
  3417   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3418     antiquotations:
  3419 
  3420       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3421       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3422       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3423       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3424 
  3425   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3426     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3427     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3428     antiquotations.
  3429 
  3430 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3431 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3432 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3433 diagnose syntax problems.
  3434 
  3435 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3436 
  3437 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3438 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3439 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3440 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3441 
  3442 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3443 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3444 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3445 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3446 
  3447 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3448 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3449 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3450 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3451 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3452 
  3453 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3454 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3455 
  3456 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3457 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3458 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3459 
  3460   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3461 
  3462 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3463 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3464 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3465 
  3466 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3467 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3468 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3469 
  3470 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3471 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3472 
  3473 
  3474 *** Pure ***
  3475 
  3476 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3477 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3478 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3479 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3480 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3481 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3482 inspect proof terms.
  3483 
  3484 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3485 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3486 are added internally.  For example:
  3487 
  3488   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3489 
  3490 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3491 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3492 
  3493 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3494 
  3495 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3496 'class' instead.
  3497 
  3498 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3499 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3500 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3501 
  3502 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3503 invariants.
  3504 
  3505 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3506 user space functionality any longer.
  3507 
  3508 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3509 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3510 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3511 
  3512 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3513 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3514 
  3515 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3516 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3517 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3518 
  3519 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3520 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3521 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3522 
  3523 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3524 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3525 
  3526 
  3527 *** HOL ***
  3528 
  3529 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3530 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3531 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3532 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3533 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3534 
  3535 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3536 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3537 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3538 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3539 
  3540   fun
  3541     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3542   where
  3543     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3544 
  3545   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3546     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3547 
  3548   quotient_definition
  3549     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3550 
  3551 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3552 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3553 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3554 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3555 
  3556 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3557 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3558 
  3559 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3560 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3561 
  3562 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3563 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3564 
  3565 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3566 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3567 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3568 
  3569 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3570 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3571 
  3572 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3573 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3574 
  3575 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3576 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3577 
  3578 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3579 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3580 
  3581 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3582 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3583 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3616 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3617 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3618 
  3619 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3620 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3621 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3622 
  3623 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3624 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3625 
  3626 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3627 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3628 
  3629 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3630 
  3631 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3632 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3633 
  3634 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3635 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3636 
  3637 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3638 
  3639 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3640 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3641 
  3642 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3643 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3644 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3645 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3646 
  3647 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3648   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3649   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3650   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3651 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3652 
  3653 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3654 lattices):
  3655 
  3656     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3693 
  3694   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3695   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:

  3701     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3702 
  3703 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3704 
  3705 * Refined field classes:
  3706   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3707     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3708     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3709   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3710 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3711 
  3712 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3713   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3714   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3715   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3716     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3717   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3718     equal_neg_zero.
  3719 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3720 
  3721 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3722 sets to lattices:
  3723 
  3724   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3725   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup

  3733   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3734 
  3735 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3736 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3737 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3738 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3739 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3740 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3741 
  3742 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3743 multiset order:
  3744 
  3745   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3746     <= and <;
  3747   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3748     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3749     multiset_order;
  3750   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3751     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3752     generation;
  3753   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3754     if needed.
  3755 
  3756 Renamed:
  3757 
  3758   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3759   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3760   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3761 
  3762 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3763 
  3764 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3765 
  3766 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3767 
  3768 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3769 
  3770 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3771 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3772 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3802   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3803 
  3804 * Sledgehammer:
  3805   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3806     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3807     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3808     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3809     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3810     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3811     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3812   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3813   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3814     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3815   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3816     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3817     is still experimental.)
  3818   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3819     full-typed mode.
  3820   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3821 
  3822 * Nitpick:
  3823   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3824   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3825   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3826     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3827   - Added support for quotient types.
  3828   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3829     constructs.
  3830   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3831     "termination" proofs).
  3832   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3833   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3834   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3835   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3836     record getters.
  3837   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3838   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3839   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3840   - Added "atoms" option.
  3841   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3842     problems.
  3843   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3844     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3845     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3846   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3847     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3848   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3849 
  3850 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3851   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3852   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3853   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3854   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3855   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3856   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3857   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3858   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3859   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3860 
  3861 
  3862 *** HOLCF ***
  3863 
  3864 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3865 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3866 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3867 
  3868 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3869 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3870 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3871 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3872 
  3873 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3874 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3875 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3876 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3877 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3878 
  3879 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3880 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3881 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3882 
  3883 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3884 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3885 
  3886   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3887   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3888 
  3889 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3890 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3891 
  3892   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3893   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3894   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3895   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3896   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3897 
  3898 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3899 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3900 
  3901   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3902   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3903   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3904 
  3905 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3906 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3907 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3908 
  3909 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3910 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3911 
  3912 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3913 
  3914 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3915 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3916 
  3917 
  3918 *** ML ***
  3919 
  3920 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3921 
  3922     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3923     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3924 
  3925     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3926     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3927     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3928     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3929 
  3930     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3931     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3932     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3933 
  3934 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3935 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3936 
  3937 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3938 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3939 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3940 
  3941 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3942 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3943 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3944 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3945 
  3946 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3947 the context or even global references.
  3948 
  3949 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3950 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3951 
  3952 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3953 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3954 
  3955   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3956   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3957   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3958   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3959   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3960   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3961   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3962   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3963   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3964   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3965 
  3966 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3967 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3968 
  3969 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3970 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3971 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3972 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3973 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3974 
  3975 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3976 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3977 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3978 Theory_Data version.
  3979 
  3980 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3981 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3982 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3983 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3984 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3985 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3986 explicitly in rare situations.
  3987 
  3988 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3989 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3990 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3991 
  3992 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3993 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3994 
  3995 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3996 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3997 quite rare).
  3998 
  3999 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4000 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4001 
  4002 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4003 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4004 terms.
  4005 
  4006 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4007 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4008 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4009 
  4010 
  4011 *** System ***
  4012 
  4013 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4014 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4015 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4016 
  4017 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4018 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4019 respectively.
  4020 
  4021 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4022 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4023 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4024 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4025 
  4026   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4027 
  4028 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4029 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4030 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4031 component.
  4032 
  4033 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4034 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4035 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4036 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4037 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4038 the user for manual installation.
  4039 
  4040 
  4041 
  4042 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4043 -------------------------------------
  4044 
  4045 *** General ***
  4046 
  4047 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4048 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4049 
  4050 
  4051 *** Pure ***
  4052 
  4053 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4054 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4055 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4056 
  4057 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4058 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4059 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4060 
  4061 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4062 interpretation.
  4063 
  4064 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4065 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4066 
  4067 
  4068 *** Document preparation ***
  4069 
  4070 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4071 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4072 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4073 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4074 
  4075 
  4076 *** HOL ***
  4077 
  4078 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4079 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4080 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4081 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4082 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4083 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4084 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4085 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4086 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4087 
  4088 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4089 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4090 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4091 
  4092 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4093 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4094 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4095 
  4096 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4097 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4098 
  4099 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4100 
  4101 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4102 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4103 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4104 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4105 
  4106 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4107 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4108 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4109 "mirabelle" utility.
  4110 
  4111 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4112 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4113 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4114 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4115 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4116 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4117 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4118 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4119 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4120 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4121 
  4122 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4123 procedure only.
  4124 
  4125 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4126 
  4127 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4128 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4129 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4130 that fail later.
  4131 
  4132 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4133 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4134 
  4135 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4136 the same method as the approximation method.
  4137 
  4138 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4139 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4140 series expansion.
  4141 
  4142 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4143 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4144 
  4145 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4146 reals.
  4147 
  4148 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4149 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4150 
  4151 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4152 fixpoint theorem.
  4153 
  4154 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4155   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4156     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4157   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4158     accordingly
  4159   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4160     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4161   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4162     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4163 
  4164 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4165 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4166 lattice.
  4167 
  4168 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4169 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4170 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4171 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4172 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4173 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4174 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4175 
  4176 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4177   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4178     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4179   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4180     le_inf_iff
  4181   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4182     sup_aci)
  4183   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4184   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4185   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4186     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4187     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4188     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4189     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4190     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4191     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4192     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4193     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4194     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4195     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4196   - authentic syntax for
  4197     Set.Pow
  4198     Set.image
  4199   - mere abbreviations:
  4200     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4201     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4202     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4203     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4204     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4205     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4206     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4207     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4208   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4209 
  4210 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4211 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4212 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4213 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4214 
  4215 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4216 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4217 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4218 
  4219 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4220 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4221 
  4222 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4223 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4224 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4225 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4226 
  4227 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4228 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4229 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4230 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4231 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4232 
  4233 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4234 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4235 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4236 
  4237 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4238 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4239 
  4240 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4241 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4242 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4243 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4244 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4245 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4246 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4247 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4248 
  4249 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4250     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4251     code_post       replaces    code post
  4252     etc.
  4253   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4254 
  4255 * Renamed methods:
  4256     sizechange -> size_change
  4257     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4258   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4259 
  4260 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4261 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4262 
  4263 * Renamed theorems:
  4264     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4265     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4266     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4267     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4268     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4269   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4270 
  4271 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4272 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4273 
  4274 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4276 
  4277 
  4278 *** HOLCF ***
  4279 
  4280 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4281 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4282 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4283 
  4284 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4285 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4286 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4287 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4288 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4289 
  4290 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4291 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4292 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4293 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4294 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4295 
  4296 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4297 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4298 constructor are pre-configured.
  4299 
  4300 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4301 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4302 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4303 
  4304 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4305 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4306 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4307 as well.)
  4308 
  4309 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4310 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4311 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4312 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4313 examples.
  4314 
  4315 
  4316 *** ML ***
  4317 
  4318 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4319 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4320 
  4321 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4322 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4323 position, logical grouping etc.
  4324 
  4325 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4326 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4327 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4328 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4329 
  4330 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4331 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4332 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4333 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4334 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4335 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4336 
  4337 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4338 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4339 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4340 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4341 experiments with references.
  4342 
  4343 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4344 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4345 
  4346 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4347 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4348 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4349 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4350 
  4351 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4352 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4353 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4354 
  4355 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4356 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4357 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4358 
  4359 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4360 
  4361 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4362 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4363 
  4364 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4365 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4366 
  4367 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4368 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4369 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4370 
  4371 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4372 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4373 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4374 
  4375 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4376 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4377 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4378 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4379 
  4380 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4381 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4382 instead of global theory.
  4383 
  4384 
  4385 *** System ***
  4386 
  4387 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4388 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4389 usedir option -q.
  4390 
  4391 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4392 also the system manual.
  4393 
  4394 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4395 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4396 
  4397 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4398 this is always enabled.
  4399 
  4400 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4401 
  4402 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4403 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4404 currently supported on Linux only.
  4405 
  4406 
  4407 
  4408 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4409 --------------------------------
  4410 
  4411 *** General ***
  4412 
  4413 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4414 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4415 
  4416   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4417     "isatool."
  4418 
  4419   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4420     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4421 
  4422   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4423     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4424 
  4425 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4426 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4427 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4428 
  4429 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4430 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4431 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4432 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4433 via "isabelle emacs".
  4434 
  4435 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4436 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4437 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4438 
  4439 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4440 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4441 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4442 
  4443 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4444 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4445 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4446 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4447 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4448 
  4449 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4450 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4451 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4452 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4453 
  4454 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4455 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4456 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4457 
  4458 
  4459 *** Pure ***
  4460 
  4461 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4462 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4463 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4464 
  4465 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4466 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4467 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4468 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4469 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4470 
  4471 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4472 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4473 useful in locale declarations.
  4474 
  4475 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4476 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4477 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4478 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4479 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4480 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4481 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4482 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4483 no longer generated.
  4484 
  4485 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4486 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4487 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4488 
  4489 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4490 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4491 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4492 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4493 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4494 
  4495 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4496 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4497 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4498 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4499 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4500 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4501 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4502 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4503 
  4504 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4505 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4506 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4507 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4508 
  4509 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4510 
  4511 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4512 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4513 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4514 
  4515 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4516 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4517 
  4518 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4519 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4520 in HOL, write
  4521 
  4522     class foo = ...
  4523 
  4524 instead of
  4525 
  4526     class foo = type + ...
  4527 
  4528 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4529 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4530 
  4531 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4532 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4533 
  4534 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4535 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4536 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4537 
  4538 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4539 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4540 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4541 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4542 directly in regular applications.
  4543 
  4544 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4545 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4546 
  4547 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4548 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4549 
  4550 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4551 theory context.
  4552 
  4553 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4554 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4555 
  4556 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4557 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4558 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4559 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4560 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4561 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4562 
  4563   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4564 
  4565 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4566 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4567 normalization.
  4568 
  4569 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4570 addressing etc.
  4571 
  4572 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4573 
  4574   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4575   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4576 
  4577 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4578 
  4579   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4580      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4581      parts of the code generator framework).
  4582 
  4583   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4584      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4585      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4586 
  4587 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4588 
  4589 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4590 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4591 
  4592 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4593 patterns, e.g.
  4594 
  4595     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4596 
  4597 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4598 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4599 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4600 hyphen:
  4601 
  4602     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4603 
  4604 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4605 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4606 
  4607 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4608 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4609 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4610 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4611 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4612 higher-order unification.
  4613 
  4614 
  4615 *** Document preparation ***
  4616 
  4617 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4618 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4619 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4620 
  4621 
  4622 *** HOL ***
  4623 
  4624 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4625 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4626 
  4627 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4628 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4629 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4630 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4631 Main, as before.
  4632 
  4633 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4634 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4635 
  4636 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4637 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4638 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4639 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4640 
  4641 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4642 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4643 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4644 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4645 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4646 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4647 
  4648 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4649 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4650 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4651 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4652 
  4653 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4654 menu.
  4655 
  4656 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4657 (contains the empty clause).
  4658 
  4659 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4660 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4661 
  4662 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4663 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4664 
  4665 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4666 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4667 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4668 
  4669 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4670 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4671 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4672 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4673 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4674 
  4675 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4676 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4677 
  4678 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4679 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4680 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4681 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4682 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4683 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4684 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4685 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4686 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4687 
  4688 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4689 
  4690 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4691 
  4692 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4693 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4694 
  4695 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4696 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4697 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4698 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4699 
  4700 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4701 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4702 
  4703     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4704     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4705     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4706     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4707     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4708     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4709     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4710     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4711 
  4712 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4713 theory Set.
  4714 
  4715 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4716 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4717 
  4718 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4719 
  4720 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4721 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4722 
  4723 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4724 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4725 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4726 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4727 allowed. For examples see
  4728 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4729 
  4730 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4731 
  4732 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4733 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4734 
  4735 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4736 structure:

  4789 
  4790 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4791 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4792 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4793 
  4794 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4795 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4796 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4797 
  4798 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4799 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4800 
  4801 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4802 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4803 
  4804 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4805 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4806 proofs, e.g.
  4807 
  4808   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4809 
  4810 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4811 
  4812 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4813 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4814 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4815 
  4816 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4817 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4818 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4819 
  4820 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4821 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4822 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4823 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4824 
  4825 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4826 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4827 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4828 preorder_class.*.
  4829 
  4830 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4831 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4832 
  4833 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4834 
  4835   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4836 
  4837 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4838 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4839 fold_image.
  4840 
  4841 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4842 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4843 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4844 the former will disappear at some point.
  4845 
  4846 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4847 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4848 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4849 
  4850 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4851 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4852 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4853 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4854 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4855 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4856 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4857 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4858 
  4859 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4860 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4861 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4862 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4863 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4864 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4865 
  4866     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4867     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4868     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4869     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4870     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4871     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4872     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4873 
  4874 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4875 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4876 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4877 
  4878 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4879 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4880 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4881 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4882 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4883 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4884 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4885 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4886 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4887 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4888 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4889 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4890 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4891 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4892 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4893 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4894 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4895 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4896 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4897 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4898 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4899 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4900 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4901 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4902 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4903 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4904 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4905 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4906 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4907 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4908 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4909 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4910 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4911 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4912 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4913 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4914 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4915 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4916 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4917 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4918 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4919 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4920 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4921 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4922 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4923 
  4924 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4925 
  4926 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4927 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4928 
  4929 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4930 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4931 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4932 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4933 
  4934 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4935 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4936 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4937 theory RealVector.
  4938 
  4939 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4940 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4941 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4942 and inner products are included.
  4943 
  4944 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4945 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4946 supported.
  4947 
  4948 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4949 first diagonalization argument.
  4950 
  4951 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4952 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4953 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4954 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4955 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4956 
  4957     hide (open) const gcd
  4958     abbreviation gcd where
  4959       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4960     notation (output)
  4961       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4962 
  4963 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4964 
  4965 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4966 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4967 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4968 
  4969 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4970 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4971 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4972 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4973 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4974 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4975 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4976 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4977 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4978 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4979 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4980 cases.
  4981 
  4982 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4983 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4984 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4985 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4986 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4987 
  4988     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4989     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4990     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4991     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4992     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct

  4995 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4996 
  4997 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4998 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4999 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5000 
  5001 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5002 
  5003 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5004 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5005 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5006 
  5007 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5008 
  5009 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5010 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5011 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5012 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5013 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5014 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5015 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)

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

  6213     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6214 
  6215 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6216 
  6217 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6218 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6219 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6220 names.
  6221 
  6222 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6223 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6224 
  6225 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6226 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6227 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6228 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6229 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6230 
  6231 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6232 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6233 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6234 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6235 
  6236 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6237 
  6238 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6239 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6240 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6241 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6242 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6243 
  6244 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6245 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6246 
  6247 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6248 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6249 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6250 
  6251 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6252 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6253 
  6254 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6255 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6256 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6257 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6258 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6259 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6260 in the current context.
  6261 
  6262 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6263 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6264 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6265 
  6266 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6267 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6268 
  6269 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6270 
  6271     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6272     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6273 
  6274     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6275       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6276     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6277     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6278 
  6279     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6280     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6281 
  6282   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  6283

  6285     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  6384 
  6385 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6386 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6387 
  6388 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6389 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6390 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6391 "*.size".
  6392 
  6393 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6394 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6395 
  6396 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6397 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6398 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6399 
  6400 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6401 
  6402 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6403 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6404 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6405 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6406 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6407 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6408 numerals on all operations.
  6409 
  6410 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6411 
  6412 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6413 
  6414 * Code generator library theories:
  6415   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6416     languages.
  6417   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6418     languages.
  6419   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6420     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6421   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6422   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6423     denominator).
  6424   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6425     representable by rational numbers.
  6426   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6427     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6428     includes Code_Integer.
  6429   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6430     target-language built-in integers.
  6431   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6432     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6433 
  6434 * New package for inductive predicates
  6435 
  6436   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6437 
  6438     inductive
  6439       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6440       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6441     where
  6442       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6443     | ...
  6444 
  6445   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6446 
  6447     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6448 
  6449     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6450     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6451 
  6452     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6453     intros
  6454       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6455       ...
  6456 
  6457   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6458   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6459 
  6460     inductive_set
  6461       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6462       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6463     where
  6464       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6465     | ...
  6466 
  6467   or
  6468 
  6469     inductive_set
  6470       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6471       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6472       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6473     where
  6474       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6475     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6476     | ...
  6477 
  6478   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6479 
  6480   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6481   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6482 
  6483   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6484 
  6485   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6486     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6487     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6488     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6489     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6490 
  6491   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6492     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6493     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6494     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6495     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6496     statements of the form
  6497 
  6498       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6499 
  6500     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6501     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6502 
  6503       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6504 
  6505   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6506 
  6507       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6508         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6509         ==> ... ==> P
  6510 
  6511     for predicates and
  6512 
  6513       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6514         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6515         ==> ... ==> P
  6516 
  6517     for sets rather than
  6518 
  6519       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6520         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6521         ==> ... ==> P
  6522 
  6523     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6524     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6525     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6526 
  6527   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6528     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6529     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6530 
  6531 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6532 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6533 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6534 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6535 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6536 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6537 
  6538 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6539 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6540 
  6541 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6542 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6543 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6544 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6545 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6546 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6547 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6548 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6549 variable.
  6550 
  6551 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6552 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6553 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6554 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6555   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6556   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6557 
  6558 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6559 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6560 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6561 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6562 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6563 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6564 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6565 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6566 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6567 
  6568 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6569 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6570 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6571 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6572 rat, etc.
  6573 
  6574 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6575 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6576 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6577 
  6578 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6579 
  6580 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6581 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6582 
  6583 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6584 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6585 
  6586 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6587 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6588 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6589 
  6590 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6591 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6592 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6593 
  6594 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6595 
  6596 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6597 
  6598 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6599 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6600 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6601 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6602 
  6603 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6604 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6605 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6606 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6607 
  6608 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6609 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6610 algebraic operations.
  6611 
  6612 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6613 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6614 
  6615 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6616 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6617 
  6618 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6619 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6620 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6621 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6622 adapted.
  6623  
  6624 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6625 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6626 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6627 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6628 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6629 
  6630 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6631 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6632 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6633 
  6634 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6635 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6636 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6637 
  6638 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6639 
  6640 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6641 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6642 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6643   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6644       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6645   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6646   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6647   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6648 
  6649 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6650 
  6651 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6652 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6653 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6654 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6655 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6656 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6657 
  6658 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6659 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6660 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6661 
  6662 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6663 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6664 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6665 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6666 
  6667 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6668 
  6669 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6670 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6671 
  6672 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6673 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6674 
  6675 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6676 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6677 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6678 
  6679 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6680 True/False.
  6681 
  6682 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6683 
  6684 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6685 
  6686 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6687 ``rule'' method.
  6688 
  6689 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6690 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6691 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6692 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6693 
  6694 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6695 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6696 
  6697 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6698 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6699 
  6700 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6701 Library.
  6702 
  6703 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6704 
  6705 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6706 as greatest fixed-point.
  6707 
  6708 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6709 association lists.
  6710 
  6711 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6712 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6713 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6714 
  6715 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6716 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6717 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6718 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6719 behavior.
  6720 
  6721 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6722 
  6723 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6724 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6725 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6726 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6727 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6728 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6729 
  6730 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6731 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6732 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6733 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6734 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6735 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6736 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6737 
  6738 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6739 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6740 
  6741 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6742 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6743 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6744 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6745 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6746 
  6747 
  6748 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6749 
  6750 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6751 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6752 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6753 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6754 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6755 
  6756 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6757 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6758 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6759 
  6760 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6761 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6762 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6763 
  6764 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6765 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6766 
  6767 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6768 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6769 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6770 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6786   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6787 
  6788 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6789 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6790 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6791 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6801   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6802 
  6803 
  6804 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6805 
  6806 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6807 
  6808 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6809 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6810 
  6811 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6812 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6813 
  6814 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6815 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6816 of algebraic structures.
  6817 
  6818 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6819 
  6820 
  6821 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6822 
  6823 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6824 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6825 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6826 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6827 
  6828 
  6829 *** ML ***
  6830 
  6831 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6832 (even on SML/NJ).
  6833 
  6834 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6835 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6836 compile-time.  For example:
  6837 
  6838 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6839 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6840 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6841 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6842 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6843 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6844 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6845 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6846 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6847 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6848 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6849 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6850 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6851 ML {* @{context} *}
  6852 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6853 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6854 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6855 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6856 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6857 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6858 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6859 
  6860 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6861 
  6862 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6863 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6864 
  6865 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6866 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6867 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6868 
  6869 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6870 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6871 
  6872 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6873 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6874 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6875 
  6876 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6877 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6878 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6879 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6880 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6881 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6882 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6883 declarations and definitions.
  6884 
  6885 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6886 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6887 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6888 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6889 
  6890 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6891 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6892 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6893 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6894 
  6895 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6896 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6897 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6898 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6899 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6900 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6901 
  6902 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6903 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6904 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6905 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6906 attributes, methods, etc.
  6907 
  6908 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6909 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6910 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6911 fold_map combinators.
  6912 
  6913 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6914 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6915 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6916 derivation.
  6917 
  6918 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6919 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6920 achieve the old behaviour.
  6921 
  6922 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6923 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6924 statements.
  6925 
  6926 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6927 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6928 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6929 
  6930 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6931 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6932 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6933 
  6934   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6935   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6936   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6937 
  6938 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6939 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6940 
  6941 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6942 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6943 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6944 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6945 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6946 
  6947 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6948 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6949 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6950 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6951 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6952 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6953 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6954 in a locale context).
  6955 
  6956 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6957 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6958 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6959 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6960 
  6961 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6962 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6963 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6964 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6965 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6966 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6967 
  6968 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6969 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6970 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6971 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6972 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6973 
  6974   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6975 
  6976 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6977 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6978 this:
  6979 
  6980   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6981 
  6982 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6983 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6984 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6985 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6986 
  6987 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6988 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6989 
  6990 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6991 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6992 
  6993 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6994 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6995 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6996 batch mode.
  6997 
  6998 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6999 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7000 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7001 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7002 
  7003 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7004 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7005 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7006 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7007 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7008 
  7009 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7010 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7011 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7012 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7013 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7014 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7015 
  7016 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7017 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7018 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7019 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7020 
  7021 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7022 "Trueprop" etc.
  7023 
  7024 
  7025 *** System ***
  7026 
  7027 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7028 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7029 Isabelle installations.
  7030 
  7031 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7032 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7033 code.
  7034 
  7035 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7036 
  7037 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7038 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7039 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7040 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7041 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7042 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7043 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7044 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7045 Implementation manual.
  7046 
  7047 
  7048 
  7049 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7050 ----------------------------------
  7051 
  7052 *** General ***
  7053 
  7054 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7055 
  7056   theory <name>
  7057   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7058   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7059   begin
  7060 
  7061 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7062 
  7063   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7064 
  7065 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7066 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7067 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7068 
  7069 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7070 relative and absolute paths.
  7071 
  7072 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7073 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7074 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7075 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7076 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7077 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7078 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7079 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7080 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7081 
  7082   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7083 
  7084 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7085 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7086 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7087 
  7088 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7089 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7090 
  7091 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7092 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7093 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7094 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7095 
  7096   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7097   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7098 
  7099 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7100 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7101 faster.
  7102 
  7103 
  7104 *** Document preparation ***
  7105 
  7106 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7107 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7108 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7109 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7110 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7111 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7112 
  7113 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7114 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7115 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7116 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7117 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7118 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7119 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7120 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7121 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7122 \isadroptag.
  7123 
  7124 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7125 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7126 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7127 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7128 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7129 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7130 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7131 specified above.
  7132 
  7133 * Several new antiquotations:
  7134 
  7135   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7136 
  7137   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7138 
  7139   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7140   argument is a known logical constant;
  7141 
  7142   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7143   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7144 
  7145   @{ML text}
  7146 
  7147 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7148 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7149 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7150 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7151 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7152 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7153 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7154 
  7155 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7156 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7157 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7158 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7159 
  7160 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7161 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7162 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7163 
  7164 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7165 a proof context.
  7166 
  7167 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7168 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7169 
  7170 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7171 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7172 
  7173 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7174 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7175 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7176 
  7177 
  7178 *** Pure ***
  7179 
  7180 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7181 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7182 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7183 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7184 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7185 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7186 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7187 
  7188 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7189 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7190 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7191 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7192 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7193 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7194 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7195 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7196 
  7197 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7198 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7199 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7200 
  7201 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7202 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7203 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7204 
  7205 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7206 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7207 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7208 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7209 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7210 
  7211 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7212 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7213 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7214 axclasses vs. locales.
  7215 
  7216 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7217 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7218 
  7219 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7220 marks in schematic variable names.
  7221 
  7222 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7223 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7224 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7225 
  7226   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7227     by simp
  7228 
  7229 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7230 
  7231 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7232 annotations as "(00...)".
  7233 
  7234 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7235 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7236 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7237 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7238 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7239 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7240 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7241 
  7242 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7243 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7244 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7245 specifications.
  7246 
  7247 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7248 locally fixed variables as well.
  7249 
  7250 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7251 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7252 Limit.
  7253 
  7254 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7255 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7256 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7257 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7258 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7259 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7260 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7261 
  7262 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7263 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7264 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7265 
  7266 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7267 
  7268 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7269 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7270 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7271 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7272 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7273 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7274 
  7275 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7276 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7277 
  7278 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7279 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7280 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7281 
  7282 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7283 
  7284 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7285 theory development.
  7286 
  7287 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7288 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7289 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7290 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7291 
  7292 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7293 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7294 quoted when used as identifier.
  7295 
  7296 
  7297 *** Locales ***
  7298 
  7299 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7300 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7301 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7302 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7303 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7304 commands is a follows:
  7305 
  7306   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7307   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7308   (3) interpret expr inst
  7309 
  7310 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7311 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7312 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7313 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7314 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7315 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7316 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7317 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7318 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7319 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7320 
  7321 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7322 'interpret' instead.
  7323 
  7324 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7325 parameters.
  7326 
  7327 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7328 redeclaration.
  7329 
  7330 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7331 
  7332 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7333 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7334 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7335 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7336 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7337 
  7338 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7339 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7340 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7341 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7342 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7343 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7344 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7345 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7346 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7347 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7348 
  7349 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7350 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7351 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7352 
  7353 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7354 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7355 
  7356 
  7357 *** Provers ***
  7358 
  7359 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7360 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7361 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7362 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7363 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7364 
  7365 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7366 and quasi orders.
  7367 
  7368 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7369 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7370 
  7371 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7372 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7373 
  7374 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7375 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7376 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7377 
  7378 
  7379 *** HOL ***
  7380 
  7381 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7382 
  7383   syntax (epsilon)
  7384     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7385 
  7386 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7387 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7388 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7389 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7390 
  7391 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7392 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7393 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7394 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7395 
  7396 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7397 instead of ":".
  7398 
  7399 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7400 
  7401   Old       New
  7402   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7403   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7404   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7405   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7406   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7407 
  7408 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7409 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7410 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7411 
  7412   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7413   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7414 
  7415 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7416 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7417 interface.
  7418 
  7419 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7420 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7421 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7422 be a tuple pattern.
  7423 
  7424 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7425 
  7426   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7427   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7428   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7429   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7430 
  7431 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7432 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7433 
  7434 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7435 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7436 (insert F x)'.
  7437 
  7438 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7439 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7440 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7441 
  7442 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7443 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7444 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7445 
  7446 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7447 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7448 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7449 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7450 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7451 
  7452 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7453 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7454 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7455 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7456 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7457 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7458 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7459 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7460 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7461 
  7462 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7463 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7464 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7465 quite long.
  7466 
  7467 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7468 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7469 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7470 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7471 
  7472 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7473 type-variables in the term.
  7474 
  7475 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7476 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7477 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7478 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7479 goals than previously.
  7480 
  7481 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7482 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7483 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7484 just like y <= x.
  7485 
  7486 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7487 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7488 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7489 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7490 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7491 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7492 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7493 
  7494 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7495 
  7496 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7497 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7498 
  7499 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7500 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7501 inequalities.
  7502 
  7503 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7504 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7505 
  7506   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7507   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7508   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos

  7517 
  7518 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7519      
  7520      zero_le_square
  7521      not_square_less_zero 
  7522 
  7523   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7530      abs_realpow_two
  7531      realpow_two_abs     
  7532 
  7533 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7534 
  7535 * Theory List:
  7536 
  7537 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7538 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7539 
  7540   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)

  7544 
  7545 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7546 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7547 
  7548 
  7549 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7550 
  7551 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7552 integers in the reals.
  7553 
  7554 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7555 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7556 
  7557   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7558   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7559   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7560   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7561   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7562 
  7563 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7564 
  7565 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7566 
  7567 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7568 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7569 
  7570   hypreal = real star
  7571   hypnat = nat star
  7572   hcomplex = complex star
  7573 
  7574 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7575 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7576 
  7577   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex

  7590 
  7591 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7592 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7617   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7618 
  7619 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7620 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7621 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7622 
  7623   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7624   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  7711 
  7712 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7713 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7714 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7715 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7716 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7717 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7718 
  7719 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7720 
  7721 
  7722 *** HOLCF ***
  7723 
  7724 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7725 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7726 type-inference.
  7727 
  7728 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7729 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7730 instead of exponential time).
  7731 
  7732 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7733 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7734 
  7735   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7736 
  7737 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7738 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7739 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7740 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7741 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7742 syntax and examples.
  7743 
  7744 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7745 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7746 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7747 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7748 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7749 
  7750 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7751 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7752 
  7753   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7754   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7755   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7756   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7757   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7758   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7759 
  7760 
  7761 *** ZF ***
  7762 
  7763 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7764 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7765 of a homomorphism).
  7766 
  7767 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7768 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7769 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7770 
  7771 
  7772 *** Cube ***
  7773 
  7774 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7775 theories.
  7776 
  7777 
  7778 *** ML ***
  7779 
  7780 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7781 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7782 
  7783 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7784 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7785 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7786 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7787 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7788 
  7789 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7790 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7791 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7792 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7793 
  7794 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7795 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7796 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7797 
  7798     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7799     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7800     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7801     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7802     seq fs = List.app fs
  7803     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7804     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7805 
  7806 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7807 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7808 
  7809   x |> f                f #> g
  7810   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7811 
  7812 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7813 
  7814   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7815   infix 2 ?;
  7816   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7817   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7818 
  7819 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7820 infix operators.
  7821 
  7822 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7823 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7824 example:
  7825 
  7826   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7827     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7828 
  7829   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7830     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7831 
  7832   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7833     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7834 
  7835   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7836     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7837 
  7838 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7839 available:
  7840 
  7841   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7842   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7843   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7844   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7845 
  7846 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7847 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7848 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7849 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7850 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7851 
  7852   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7853   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7854   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7855 
  7856 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7857 
  7858   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7859   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7860 
  7861 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7862 Naive rewrites:
  7863 
  7864   make_keylist = AList.make
  7865   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7866 
  7867 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7868   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7869 
  7870     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7871     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7872 
  7873 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7874   Naive rewrites:
  7875 
  7876     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7877     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7878 
  7879 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7880 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7881 lists.
  7882 
  7883 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7884 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7885 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7886 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7887 
  7888 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7889 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7890 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7891 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7892 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7893 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7894 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7895 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7896 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7897 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7898 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7899 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7900 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7901 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7902 Output.raw have no effect.
  7903 
  7904 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7905 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7906 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7907 
  7908 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7909 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7910 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7911 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7912 
  7913 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7914 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7915 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7916 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7917 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7918 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7919 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7920 
  7921 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7922 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7923 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7924 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7925 
  7926 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7927 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7928 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7929 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7930 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7931 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7932 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7933 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7934 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7935 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7936 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7937 
  7938 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7939 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7940 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7941 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7942 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7943 with earlier declarations.
  7944 
  7945 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7946 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7947 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7948 
  7949 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7950 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7951 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7952 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7953 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7954 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7955 
  7956   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7957     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7958 
  7959   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7960     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7961 
  7962   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7963     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7964     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7965     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7966 
  7967 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7968 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7969 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7970 
  7971 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7972 
  7973 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7974 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7975 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7976 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7977 
  7978 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7979 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7980 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7981 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7982 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7983 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7984 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7985 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7986 
  7987 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7988 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7989 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7990 
  7991 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7992 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7993 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7994 
  7995 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7996 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7997 
  7998   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7999   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8000   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8001   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8002 
  8003 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8004 
  8005 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8006 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8007 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8008 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8009 (both increase the runtime).
  8010 
  8011 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8012 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8013 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8014 
  8015 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8016 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8017 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8018 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8019 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8020 for further details.
  8021 
  8022 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8023 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8024 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8025 scripts for the time being.
  8026 
  8027 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8028 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8029 
  8030   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8031   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8032 
  8033 
  8034 *** System ***
  8035 
  8036 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8037 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8038 
  8039 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8040 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8041 
  8042 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8043 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8044 
  8045 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8046 distribution being used.
  8047 
  8048 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8049 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8050 theories.
  8051 
  8052 
  8053 
  8054 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8055 --------------------------------
  8056 
  8057 *** General ***
  8058 
  8059 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8060   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8061 
  8062 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8063   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8064   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8065   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8066   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8067   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8068   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8069   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8070   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8071   existing theory and ML files.
  8072 
  8073 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8074 
  8075 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8076   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8077   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8078   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8079 
  8080 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8081   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8082   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8083   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8084 
  8085 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8086   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8087   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8088 
  8089 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8090   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8091   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8092   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8093   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8094 
  8095 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8096   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8097 
  8098 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8099   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8100   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8101 
  8102 
  8103 *** Isar ***
  8104 
  8105 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8106   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8107   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8108     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8109     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8110     emulations.
  8111   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8112     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8113     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8114 
  8115 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8116   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8117     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8118     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8119   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8120 
  8121 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8122   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8123   and derived forms.
  8124 
  8125 * Locales:
  8126   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8127     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8128     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8129     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8130   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8131     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8132   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8133     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8134   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8135         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8136     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8137     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8138     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8139     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8140     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8141       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8142     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8143     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8144     with "locale (open)".
  8145       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8146 
  8147 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8148   (Isar) contexts.
  8149 
  8150 
  8151 *** HOL ***
  8152 
  8153 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8154   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8155   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8156   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8157   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8158 
  8159 * Simplifier:
  8160   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8161     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8162     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8163     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8164     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8165   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8166     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8167     is solved by simplification already.
  8168 
  8169 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8170     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8171 
  8172 * Numerics:
  8173   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8174     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8175   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8176     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8177   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8178     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8179     exponentiation).
  8180 
  8181 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8182 
  8183 * Records:
  8184   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8185     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8186     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8187   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8188     (not enabled by default).
  8189   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8190     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8191   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8192 
  8193 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8194   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8195   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8196 
  8197 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8198 
  8199 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8200 
  8201 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8202   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8203 
  8204 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8205   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8206 
  8207 * Unions and Intersections:
  8208   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8209   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8210   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8211   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8212 
  8213 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8214   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8215   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8216   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8217 
  8218 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8219   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8220 
  8221 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8222   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8223 
  8224 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8225   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8226   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8227 
  8228 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8229   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8230   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8231   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8232   for examples.
  8233 
  8234 
  8235 *** HOLCF ***
  8236 
  8237 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8238 
  8239 
  8240 
  8241 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8242 ------------------------------
  8243 
  8244 *** General ***
  8245 
  8246 * Provers/simplifier:
  8247 
  8248   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8249     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8250     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8251     the order of assumptions.
  8252 
  8253     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8254 
  8255     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8256        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8257 
  8258         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8259 
  8260        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8261 
  8262         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8263 
  8264        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8265        kind of problem.
  8266 
  8267     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8268        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8269        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8270        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8271        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8272        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8273        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8274 
  8275   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8276 
  8277   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8278     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8279     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8280     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8281     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8282     the simplifier would diverge.
  8283 
  8284   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8285 
  8286   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8287     congruence is ignored.
  8288 
  8289 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8290   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8291   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8292 
  8293 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8294 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8295    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8296 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8297 
  8298 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8299 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8300       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8301 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8302 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8303 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8304 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8305 
  8306 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8307 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8308 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8309 assumption failed.
  8310 
  8311 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8312 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8313 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8314 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8315 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8316 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8317 on the old view without predicates;
  8318 
  8319 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8320 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8321 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8322 
  8323 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8324 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8325 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8326 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8327 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8328 be given (the default is 40);
  8329 
  8330 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8331 (batch-mode only);
  8332 
  8333 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8334 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8335 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8336 
  8337 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8338 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8339 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8340 
  8341 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8342 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8343 
  8344 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8345 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8346 
  8347 
  8348 *** HOL ***
  8349 
  8350 * arith(_tac)
  8351 
  8352  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8353    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8354    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8355    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8356 
  8357  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8358 
  8359  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8360    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8361    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8362 
  8363 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8364 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8365 
  8366 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8367 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8368 
  8369 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8370 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8371 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8372 
  8373 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8374 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8375 
  8376 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8377 definition;
  8378 
  8379 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8380 Finite_Set);
  8381 
  8382 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8383 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8384 
  8385 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8386   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8387 
  8388 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8389 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8390 of the empty set.
  8391 
  8392 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8393 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8394 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8395 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8396 
  8397 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8398 
  8399 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8400 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8401 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8402 
  8403 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8404 
  8405 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8406 Fleuriot);
  8407 
  8408 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8409 
  8410 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8411 Gray and Kramer);
  8412 
  8413 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8414 
  8415 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8416 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8417 
  8418 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8419 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8420 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8421 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8422 assignment, exceptions.
  8423 
  8424 
  8425 *** ZF ***
  8426 
  8427 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8428 universe, etc.);
  8429 
  8430 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8431 
  8432 
  8433 *** ML ***
  8434 
  8435 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8436 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8437 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8438 
  8439 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8440 
  8441 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8442 up simprocs;
  8443 
  8444 
  8445 *** Document preparation ***
  8446 
  8447 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8448 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8449 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8450 
  8451 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8452 other packages
  8453 
  8454 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8455 broke \Rightarrow)
  8456 
  8457 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8458 textcomp package)
  8459 
  8460 
  8461 
  8462 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8463 --------------------------------
  8464 
  8465 *** Document preparation ***
  8466 
  8467 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8468 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8469 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8470 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8471 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8472 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8473 
  8474 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8475 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8476 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8477 
  8478 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8479 blocks after section headings;
  8480 
  8481 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8482 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8483 
  8484 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8485 better in printed text;
  8486 
  8487 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8488 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8489 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8490 
  8491 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8492 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8493 location;
  8494 
  8495 
  8496 *** Isar ***
  8497 
  8498 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8499   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8500     "case (Suc n)");
  8501   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8502     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8503     instantiation of cases;
  8504   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8505     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8506     rules without further ado;
  8507   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8508     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8509     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8510     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8511     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8512   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8513     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8514     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8515     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8516     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8517     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8518   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8519     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8520     below);
  8521   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8522     success (no backtracking);
  8523   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8524   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8525   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8526     General versions);
  8527   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8528   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8529 
  8530 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8531 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8532 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8533 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8534 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8535 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8536 fails:
  8537 
  8538   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8539 
  8540 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8541 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8542 
  8543 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8544 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8545 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8546 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8547 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8548 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8549 some examples;
  8550 
  8551 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8552 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8553 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8554 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8555 qualified by the locale name);
  8556 
  8557 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8558 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8559 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8560 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8561 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8562 
  8563 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8564 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8565 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8566 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8567 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8568 
  8569 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8570 
  8571 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8572 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8573 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8574 
  8575 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8576 
  8577 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8578 
  8579 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8580 
  8581 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8582 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8583 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8584 
  8585 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8586 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8587 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8588 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8589 proof *scripts*;
  8590 
  8591 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8592 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8593 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8594 especially important for locales);
  8595 
  8596 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8597 mode;
  8598 
  8599 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8600 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8601 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8602 situations;
  8603 
  8604 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8605 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8606 
  8607 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8608 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8609 discontinued;
  8610 
  8611 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8612 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8613 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8614 
  8615 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8616 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8617 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8618 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8619 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8620 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8621 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8622 
  8623 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8624 of introduction rules;
  8625 
  8626 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8627 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8628 conditional rules;
  8629 
  8630 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8631 
  8632 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8633 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8634 
  8635 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8636 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8637 
  8638 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8639 wf_induct_rule;
  8640 
  8641 
  8642 *** HOL ***
  8643 
  8644 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8645 follows:
  8646 
  8647   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8648   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8649 
  8650   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8651   binary representation internally;
  8652 
  8653   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8654   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8655 
  8656 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8657 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8658 
  8659   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8660   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8661   to be spaced properly;
  8662 
  8663   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8664   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8665 
  8666   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8667 
  8668   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8669 
  8670 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8671 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8672 
  8673 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8674 
  8675 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8676 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8677 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8678 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8679 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8680 
  8681 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8682   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8683     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8684     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8685     declared as simp by default;
  8686   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8687     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8688   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8689     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8690   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8691   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8692     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8693     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8694   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8695     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8696 
  8697 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8698 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8699 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8700 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8701 
  8702 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8703 
  8704 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8705         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8706         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8707 
  8708 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8709 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8710 
  8711 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8712 
  8713 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8714 
  8715 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8716 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8717   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8718 
  8719 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8720 in this (rare) case use:
  8721 
  8722   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8723   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8724 
  8725 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8726 MAY FAIL;
  8727 
  8728 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8729 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8730 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8731 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8732 
  8733 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8734 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8735 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8736 
  8737 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8738 expressions;
  8739 
  8740 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8741 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8742 
  8743 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8744 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8745 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8746 
  8747 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8748 
  8749 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8750 the "cases" method);
  8751 
  8752 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8753 Florian Kammller);
  8754 
  8755 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8756 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8757 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8758 
  8759 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8760 
  8761 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8762 
  8763 
  8764 *** HOLCF ***
  8765 
  8766 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8767 operations;
  8768 
  8769 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8770 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8771 
  8772 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8773 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8774 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8775 
  8776 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8777 
  8778 
  8779 *** ZF ***
  8780 
  8781 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8782 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8783 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8784 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8785 
  8786 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8787 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8788 
  8789 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8790 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8791 
  8792 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8793 typeless version of the formalism;
  8794 
  8795 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8796 format;
  8797 
  8798 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8799 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8800 new-style theory format;
  8801 
  8802 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8803 
  8804 
  8805 *** General ***
  8806 
  8807 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8808 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8809 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8810 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8811 
  8812 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8813 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8814 
  8815 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8816 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8817 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8818 properly;
  8819 
  8820 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8821 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8822 
  8823 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8824 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8825 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8826 type variable);
  8827 
  8828 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8829 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8830 "type_brackets";
  8831 
  8832 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8833 tokens into AST constants;
  8834 
  8835 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8836 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8837 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8838 
  8839 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8840 practice);
  8841 
  8842 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8843 addSafter;
  8844 
  8845 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8846 as well;
  8847 
  8848 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8849 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8850 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8851 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8852 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8853 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8854 
  8855 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8856 
  8857 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8858 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8859 
  8860 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8861 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8862 
  8863 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8864 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8865 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8866 
  8867 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8868 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8869 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8870 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8871 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8872 
  8873 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8874 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8875 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8876 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8877 
  8878 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8879 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8880 terminal);
  8881 
  8882 
  8883 
  8884 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8885 -----------------------------------
  8886 
  8887 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8888 
  8889 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8890 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8891 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8892 
  8893 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8894 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8895 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8896 'split_rule (complete)';
  8897 
  8898 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8899 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8900 
  8901 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8902 
  8903 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8904 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8905 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8906 
  8907 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8908 operation;
  8909 
  8910 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8911 
  8912 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8913 
  8914 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8915 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8916 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8917 
  8918 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8919 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8920 
  8921 
  8922 *** Document preparation ***
  8923 
  8924 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8925 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8926 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8927 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8928 type-writer);
  8929 
  8930 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8931 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8932 
  8933 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8934 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8935 
  8936 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8937 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8938 definitions);
  8939 
  8940 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8941 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8942 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8943 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8944 
  8945 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8946 fonts;
  8947 
  8948 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8949 generation;
  8950 
  8951 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8952 
  8953 
  8954 *** Isar ***
  8955 
  8956 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8957 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8958 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8959 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8960 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8961 
  8962 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8963 rules as well;
  8964 
  8965 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8966 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8967 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8968 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8969 
  8970 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8971 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8972 
  8973 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8974 statements as well;
  8975 
  8976 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8977 
  8978 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8979 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8980 
  8981 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8982 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8983 
  8984 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8985 
  8986 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8987 
  8988 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8989 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8990 
  8991 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8992 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8993 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8994 
  8995 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8996 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8997 the result to be shown in each case;
  8998 
  8999 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9000 
  9001 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9002 
  9003 
  9004 *** HOL ***
  9005 
  9006 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9007 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9008 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9009 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9010 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9011 
  9012 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9013 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9014 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9015 
  9016 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9017 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9018 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9019 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9020 literature;
  9021 
  9022 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9023 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9024 operator \<Sum>;
  9025 
  9026 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9027 HOL/subset.thy);
  9028 
  9029 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9030 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9031 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9032 
  9033 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9034 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9035 
  9036 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9037 rules with string literals);
  9038 
  9039 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9040  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9041  functions for the reals;
  9042 
  9043 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9044 
  9045 
  9046 *** CTT ***
  9047 
  9048 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9049 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9050 
  9051 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9052 and Arith);
  9053 
  9054 
  9055 *** General ***
  9056 
  9057 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9058 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9059 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9060 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9061 
  9062 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9063 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9064 
  9065 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9066 as assumptions as well;
  9067 
  9068 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9069 
  9070 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9071 
  9072 
  9073 
  9074 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9075 ----------------------------------
  9076 
  9077 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9078 
  9079 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9080 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9081 issue the following ML commands:
  9082 
  9083   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9084   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9085 
  9086 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9087 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9088 
  9089 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9090 
  9091 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9092 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9093 
  9094   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9095   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9096   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9097   selectI2         -> someI2
  9098   selectI          -> someI
  9099   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9100   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9101   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9102 
  9103 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9104 
  9105 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9106 instead);
  9107 
  9108 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9109 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9110 
  9111 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9112 
  9113 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9114 sometimes be needed;
  9115 
  9116 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9117 
  9118 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9119 
  9120 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9121 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9122 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9123 
  9124 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9125 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9126 
  9127 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9128 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9129 
  9130   syntax (symbols)
  9131     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9132       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9133 
  9134 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9135 
  9136 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9137 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9138 internally;
  9139 
  9140 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9141 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9142 
  9143 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9144 proofs;
  9145 
  9146 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9147 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9148 
  9149 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9150 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9151 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9152 "rule del";
  9153 
  9154 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9155 
  9156 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9157 
  9158 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9159 lib/texinputs);
  9160 
  9161 
  9162 *** Document preparation ***
  9163 
  9164 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9165 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9166 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9167 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9168 
  9169 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9170 including proper document sources;
  9171 
  9172 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9173 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9174 of isatool usedir;
  9175 
  9176 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9177 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9178 LaTeX debugging;
  9179 
  9180 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9181 
  9182 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9183 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9184 graph for 'all sessions';
  9185 
  9186 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9187 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9188 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9189 
  9190 
  9191 *** Isar ***
  9192 
  9193 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9194 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9195 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9196 
  9197 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9198 generalized existence reasoning;
  9199 
  9200 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9201 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9202 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9203 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9204 premises;
  9205 
  9206 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9207 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9208 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9209 to theorems as "tags";
  9210 
  9211 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9212 class/type/const name spaces;
  9213 
  9214 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9215 indicate potential overloading;
  9216 
  9217 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9218 
  9219 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9220 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9221 
  9222 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9223 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9224 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9225 
  9226 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9227 case name 'antecedent';
  9228 
  9229 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9230 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9231 
  9232 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9233 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9234 
  9235 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9236 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9237 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9238 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9239 
  9240 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9241 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9242 
  9243 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9244 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9245 well (including splits);
  9246 
  9247 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9248 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9249 
  9250 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9251 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9252 
  9253 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9254 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9255 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9256 
  9257 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9258 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9259 calculations;
  9260 
  9261 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9262 method anyway;
  9263 
  9264 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9265 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9266 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9267 
  9268 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9269 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9270 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9271 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9272 
  9273 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9274 
  9275 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9276 
  9277 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9278 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9279 proof states;
  9280 
  9281 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9282 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9283 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9284 
  9285 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9286 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9287 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9288 (for HOL datatypes);
  9289 
  9290 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9291 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9292 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9293 
  9294 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9295 
  9296 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9297 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9298 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9299 
  9300 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9301 
  9302 
  9303 *** HOL ***
  9304 
  9305 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9306 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9307 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9308 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9309 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9310 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9311 
  9312 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9313 Clemens Ballarin;
  9314 
  9315 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9316 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9317 Rasmussen;
  9318 
  9319 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9320 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9321 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9322 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9323 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9324 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9325 
  9326 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9327 von Oheimb;
  9328 
  9329 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9330 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9331 
  9332 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9333 
  9334 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9335 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9336 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9337 
  9338 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9339 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9340 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9341 
  9342 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9343 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9344 
  9345 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9346 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9347 
  9348 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9349    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9350    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9351   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9352     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9353   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9354     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9355 
  9356 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9357 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9358 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9359 
  9360 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9361 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9362 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9363 
  9364 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9365 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9366 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9367 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9368 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9369 
  9370 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9371 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9372 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9373 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9374 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9375 each equation;
  9376 
  9377 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9378 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9379 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9380 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9381 
  9382 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9383 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9384 
  9385 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9386 
  9387 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9388 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9389 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9390 
  9391 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9392 
  9393 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9394 main HOL, but was unused);
  9395 
  9396 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9397 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9398 
  9399 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9400 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9401 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9402 bogus);
  9403 
  9404 
  9405 *** ZF ***
  9406 
  9407 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9408 expressions over nat and int;
  9409 
  9410 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9411 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9412 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9413 
  9414 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9415 using the function intify;
  9416 
  9417 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9418 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9419 
  9420 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9421 simplification;
  9422 
  9423 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9424 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9425 
  9426 
  9427 *** General ***
  9428 
  9429 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9430 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9431 
  9432 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9433 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9434 
  9435 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9436 explicit make_elim);
  9437 
  9438 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9439   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9440 use instead the strong form,
  9441   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9442 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9443 from destruct-rules;
  9444 
  9445 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9446 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9447 
  9448 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9449 
  9450 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9451 for hiding of names;
  9452 
  9453 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9454 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9455 situations;
  9456 
  9457 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9458 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9459 Poly/ML);
  9460 
  9461 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9462 useful for remote X11);
  9463 
  9464 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9465 
  9466 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9467 order;
  9468 
  9469 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9470 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9471 
  9472 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9473 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9474 
  9475 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9476 overloading (usually false);
  9477 
  9478 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9479 results;
  9480 
  9481 
  9482 
  9483 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9484 --------------------------------
  9485 
  9486 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9487 
  9488 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9489 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9490 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9491 
  9492     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9493 
  9494 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9495 complement;
  9496 
  9497 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9498 
  9499 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9500   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9501 
  9502 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9503 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9504 
  9505 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9506 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9507 
  9508 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9509 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9510 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9511 
  9512 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9513 
  9514 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9515         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9516 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9517 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9518         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9519 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9520 
  9521 
  9522 *** Proof tools ***
  9523 
  9524 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9525 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9526 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9527 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9528 
  9529 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9530      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9531   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9532   matching.
  9533 
  9534 
  9535 *** General ***
  9536 
  9537 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9538 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9539 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9540 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9541 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9542 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9543 
  9544 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9545 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9546 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9547 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9548 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9549 
  9550 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9551 Isabelle/Isar;
  9552 
  9553 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9554 using the graph browser tool;
  9555 
  9556 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9557 
  9558 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9559 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9560 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9561 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9562 isatool doc ref);
  9563 
  9564 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9565 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9566 
  9567 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9568 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9569 
  9570 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9571 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9572 Isabelle;
  9573 
  9574 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9575 
  9576 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9577 empty;
  9578 
  9579 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9580 long arrows);
  9581 
  9582 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9583 
  9584 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9585 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9586 
  9587 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9588 mode and goal output format:
  9589 
  9590 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9591 244c244
  9592 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9593 ---
  9594 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9595 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9596 181c181
  9597 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9598 ---
  9599 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9600 
  9601 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9602 
  9603 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9604 
  9605 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9606 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9607 result still apply;
  9608 
  9609 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9610 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9611 
  9612 
  9613 *** HOL ***
  9614 
  9615 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9616 
  9617 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9618 int:
  9619 
  9620 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9621 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9622 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9623 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9624 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9625 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9626 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9627 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9628 
  9629 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9630 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9631 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9632 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9633 simplifier.
  9634 
  9635 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9636 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9637 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9638 
  9639 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9640 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9641 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9642 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9643 type constraints;
  9644 
  9645 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9646 arguments;
  9647 
  9648 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9649 are now available;
  9650 
  9651 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9652 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9653 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9654 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9655 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9656   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9657 
  9658 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9659 
  9660 
  9661 ** HOL misc **
  9662 
  9663 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9664 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9665 
  9666 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9667 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9668 
  9669 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9670 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9671 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9672 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9673 
  9674 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9675   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9676   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9677   "mono" attribute);
  9678 
  9679 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9680   (using function types) such as
  9681 
  9682   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9683 
  9684 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9685 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9686 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9687 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9688 
  9689   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9690   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9691 
  9692 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9693 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9694 
  9695 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9696 names rather than an ML expression;
  9697 
  9698 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9699 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9700     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9701 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9702 
  9703 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9704 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9705 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9706 
  9707 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9708 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9709 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9710 
  9711 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9712 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9713 
  9714 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9715 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9716 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9717 
  9718 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9719 
  9720 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9721 thus available for user theories;
  9722 
  9723 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9724 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9725 time;
  9726 
  9727 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9728 several times and then mp;
  9729 
  9730 
  9731 *** LK ***
  9732 
  9733 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9734 formulas;
  9735 
  9736 * the simplifier is now installed
  9737 
  9738 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9739 
  9740 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9741 
  9742 
  9743 *** ZF ***
  9744 
  9745 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9746 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9747 
  9748 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9749 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9750 
  9751 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9752 
  9753 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9754 constructors;
  9755 
  9756 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9757 type-checking rules;
  9758 
  9759 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9760 to the claset;
  9761 
  9762 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9763 if(P,x,y);
  9764 
  9765 
  9766 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9767 
  9768 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9769 
  9770 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9771 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9772 
  9773 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9774 
  9775 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9776 printing empty lines;
  9777 
  9778 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9779 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9780 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9781 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9782 
  9783 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9784 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9785 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9786 
  9787 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9788 now of type real instead of int;
  9789 
  9790 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9791 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9792 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9793 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9794 
  9795 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9796 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9797 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9798 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9799 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9800 
  9801 
  9802 
  9803 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9804 ----------------------------------
  9805 
  9806 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9807 
  9808 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9809 
  9810 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9811 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9812 
  9813 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9814 called `inj_on';
  9815 
  9816 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9817   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9818   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9819 
  9820 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9821 required);
  9822 
  9823 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9824 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9825 now taken as an integer constant.
  9826 
  9827 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9828 
  9829 
  9830 *** Proof tools ***
  9831 
  9832 * Simplifier:
  9833   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9834      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9835         simplify.
  9836      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9837         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9838      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9839      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9840   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9841 
  9842 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9843 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9844 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9845 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9846 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9847 one (emitting a warning).
  9848   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9849   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9850   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9851   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9852   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9853 
  9854 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9855 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9856 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9857 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9858 by Force_tac;
  9859 
  9860 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9861 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9862 
  9863 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9864 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9865 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9866 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9867 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9868 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9869 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9870 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9871 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9872 
  9873 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9874 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9875 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9876 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9877 
  9878 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9879 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9880 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9881 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9882 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9883 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9884 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9885 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9886 t is the name of the datatype).
  9887 
  9888 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9889 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9890 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9891 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9892 
  9893 
  9894 *** General ***
  9895 
  9896 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9897 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9898 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9899 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9900 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9901 (backup your sources first!);
  9902 
  9903 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9904 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9905 
  9906 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9907 definitions that have local scope;
  9908 
  9909 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9910 
  9911 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9912 (e.g. package initialization);
  9913 
  9914 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9915 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9916 
  9917 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9918 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9919 
  9920 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9921 
  9922 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9923 
  9924 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9925 
  9926 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9927 
  9928 
  9929 *** HOL ***
  9930 
  9931 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9932 
  9933 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9934 definitions such as
  9935 
  9936   inductive EVEN ODD
  9937     intrs
  9938       null "0 : EVEN"
  9939       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9940       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9941 
  9942 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9943 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9944 correctly (also ZF);
  9945 
  9946 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9947 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9948 contained in "induct";
  9949 
  9950 
  9951 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9952 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9953 
  9954   datatype
  9955     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9956             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9957             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9958             | NUM 'a
  9959   and
  9960     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9961             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9962             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9963 
  9964 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9965 
  9966   datatype
  9967     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9968                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9969 
  9970 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9971 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9972 
  9973 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9974 <function_name>.simps.
  9975 
  9976 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9977 
  9978   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9979     ancestor.
  9980   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9981     generic induct_tac instead.
  9982   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9983     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9984     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9985     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9986   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9987     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9988   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9989     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9990     sort constraints.
  9991   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9992     of recursive argument.
  9993 
  9994 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9995 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9996 
  9997 
  9998 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9999 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10000 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10001 support is as follows:
 10002 
 10003   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10004 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10005 
 10006   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10007 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10008 
 10009   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10010 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10011 
 10012 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10013 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10014 the name of your record type.
 10015 
 10016 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10017 
 10018   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10019 
 10020 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10021 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10022 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10023 solve record problems automatically.
 10024 
 10025 
 10026 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10027 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10028 
 10029 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10030 
 10031 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10032 
 10033 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10034 
 10035 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10036 
 10037 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10038 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10039 with add/delsplits);
 10040 
 10041 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10042 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10043 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10044 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10045 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10046 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10047 %u.f();
 10048 
 10049 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10050 makes more sense);
 10051 
 10052 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10053   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10054   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10055 
 10056 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10057 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10058 literature);
 10059 
 10060 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10061 the well-founded relation;
 10062 
 10063 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10064     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10065     release ONLY.
 10066 
 10067 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10068     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10069 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10070 
 10071 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10072 
 10073 * HOL/List:
 10074   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10075     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10076   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10077     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10078     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10079   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10080 
 10081 * HOL/Arith:
 10082   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10083   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10084   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10085   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10086 
 10087 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10088 instead of "inverse";
 10089 
 10090 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10091   of the multiset ordering;
 10092 
 10093 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10094   (not included by default);
 10095 
 10096 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10097 
 10098 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10099   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10100 
 10101 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10102   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10103   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10104 
 10105 
 10106 *** ZF ***
 10107 
 10108 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10109   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10110 
 10111 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10112   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10113   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10114 
 10115 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10116     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10117   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10118 
 10119 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10120 
 10121 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10122   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10123   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10124 
 10125 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10126     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10127 
 10128 
 10129 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10130 
 10131 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10132 also src/Pure/README;
 10133 
 10134 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10135 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10136 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10137 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10138 
 10139 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10140 are qualified by default;
 10141 
 10142 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10143 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10144 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10145 
 10146 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10147 cterm -> thm;
 10148 
 10149 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10150 subgoal;
 10151 
 10152 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10153 
 10154 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10155 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10156 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10157 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10158 for example;
 10159 
 10160 
 10161 
 10162 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10163 --------------------------------
 10164 
 10165 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10166 
 10167 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10168 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10169 
 10170 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10171 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10172 
 10173 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10174 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10175 
 10176 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10177 
 10178 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10179 
 10180 
 10181 *** General Changes ***
 10182 
 10183 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10184 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10185 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10186 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10187 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10188 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10189 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10190 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10191 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10192 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10193 section;
 10194 
 10195 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10196 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10197 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10198 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10199 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10200 
 10201 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10202 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10203 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10204 
 10205 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10206 conditional equations;
 10207 
 10208 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10209 
 10210 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10211 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10212 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10213 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10214 
 10215 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10216 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10217 
 10218 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10219 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10220 
 10221 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10222 show_types);
 10223 
 10224 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10225 
 10226 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10227 
 10228 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10229 
 10230 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10231 
 10232 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10233 
 10234 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10235     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10236 
 10237 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10238 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10239 
 10240 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10241 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10242 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10243 
 10244 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10245 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10246 
 10247 
 10248 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10249 
 10250 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10251 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10252 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10253 
 10254 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10255 
 10256 
 10257 *** Simplifier ***
 10258 
 10259 * added simplification meta rules:
 10260     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10261 
 10262 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10263 logics (again);
 10264 
 10265 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10266 
 10267 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10268   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10269   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10270 
 10271 
 10272 *** Syntax ***
 10273 
 10274 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10275 
 10276 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10277 
 10278 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10279 
 10280 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10281 
 10282 
 10283 *** HOL ***
 10284 
 10285 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10286   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10287 
 10288 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10289 
 10290 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10291   protocol TLS;
 10292 
 10293 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10294 
 10295 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10296 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10297 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10298 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10299 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10300 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10301 
 10302 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10303   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10304   are rewritten to
 10305   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10306   and those of the form
 10307   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10308   are rewritten to
 10309   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10310 
 10311 * HOL/datatype
 10312   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10313 
 10314   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10315      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10316         ...
 10317        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10318      )
 10319 
 10320   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10321 
 10322   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10323     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10324         ...
 10325        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10326      )
 10327   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10328   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10329   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10330 
 10331 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10332   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10333     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10334     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10335   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10336     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10337     `standard'.
 10338 
 10339 * HOL/Lists:
 10340   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10341   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10342   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10343 
 10344 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10345 
 10346 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10347   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10348 
 10349 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10350 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10351 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10352 
 10353 
 10354 *** HOLCF ***
 10355 
 10356 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10357 
 10358 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10359   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10360 
 10361 * domain package:
 10362   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10363   . creates hierachical name space,
 10364   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10365   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10366   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10367   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10368   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10369     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10370 
 10371 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10372 
 10373 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10374 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10375 
 10376 
 10377 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10378 
 10379 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10380   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10381 
 10382 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10383 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10384 
 10385 
 10386 
 10387 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10388 ------------------------------
 10389 
 10390 *** General Changes ***
 10391 
 10392 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10393 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10394 
 10395 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10396 
 10397 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10398 
 10399 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10400 messages and clean internal interface;
 10401 
 10402 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10403 setting goals_limit);
 10404 
 10405 
 10406 *** Syntax ***
 10407 
 10408 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10409 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10410 
 10411 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10412 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10413 "symbols" syntax table;
 10414 
 10415 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10416 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10417 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10418 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10419 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10420 
 10421 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10422 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10423 version of xterm);
 10424 
 10425 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10426 
 10427 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10428 access type of constant);
 10429 
 10430 
 10431 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10432 
 10433 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10434 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10435   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10436   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10437         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10438   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10439   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10440     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10441   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10442 
 10443 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10444 assumptions;
 10445 
 10446 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10447 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10448 (and access functions for it);
 10449 
 10450 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10451   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10452   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10453     safe steps.
 10454   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10455     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10456     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10457 
 10458 *** Simplifier ***
 10459 
 10460 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10461 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10462 redex);
 10463 
 10464 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10465 
 10466 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10467 
 10468 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10469 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10470 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10471 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10472 
 10473 
 10474 *** HOL ***
 10475 
 10476 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10477 also for type `nat';
 10478 
 10479 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10480 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10481 
 10482 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10483 
 10484 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10485 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10486 
 10487 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10488 
 10489 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10490 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10491 
 10492 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10493 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10494 
 10495 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10496 infinite lists;
 10497 
 10498 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10499 
 10500 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10501 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10502 
 10503 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10504 
 10505 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10506 
 10507 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10508 
 10509 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10510 
 10511 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10512   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10513   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10514   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10515   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10516   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10517   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10518   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10519   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10520 
 10521 
 10522 *** ZF ***
 10523 
 10524 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10525 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10526 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10527 
 10528 
 10529 
 10530 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10531 ---------------------------------
 10532 
 10533 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10534 
 10535 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10536 
 10537 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10538 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10539 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10540 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10541 
 10542 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10543 
 10544 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10545 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10546 
 10547 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10548 
 10549 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10550 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10551 
 10552 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10553 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10554 
 10555 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10556 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10557 
 10558 
 10559 
 10560 New in Isabelle94-6
 10561 -------------------
 10562 
 10563 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10564 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10565 
 10566 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10567 
 10568 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10569 
 10570 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10571 
 10572 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10573 
 10574 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10575 
 10576 
 10577 
 10578 New in Isabelle94-5
 10579 -------------------
 10580 
 10581 * reduced space requirements;
 10582 
 10583 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10584 
 10585 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10586 
 10587 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10588 
 10589 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10590 
 10591 
 10592 
 10593 New in Isabelle94-4
 10594 -------------------
 10595 
 10596 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10597 
 10598 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10599 
 10600 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10601 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10602 
 10603 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10604 Axiom of Choice;
 10605 
 10606 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10607 
 10608 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10609 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10610 
 10611 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10612 
 10613 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10614 translates to the operator "split";
 10615 
 10616 
 10617 
 10618 New in Isabelle94-3
 10619 -------------------
 10620 
 10621 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10622 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10623         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10624 
 10625 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10626 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10627 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10628 
 10629 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10630 
 10631 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10632 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10633 
 10634 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10635 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10636 
 10637 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10638 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10639 
 10640 
 10641 
 10642 New in Isabelle94-2
 10643 -------------------
 10644 
 10645 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10646 
 10647 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10648 freely;
 10649 
 10650 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10651 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10652 
 10653 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10654 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10655 (theory_of_thm);
 10656 
 10657 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10658 
 10659 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10660 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10661 
 10662 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10663 have been removed;
 10664 
 10665 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10666 
 10667 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10668 
 10669 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10670 types;
