     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** HOL ***
     8 
     9 * Theory "RealVector" and "Limits": Introduce type class
    10 (lin)order_topology. Allows to generalize theorems about limits and
    11 order. Instances are reals and extended reals.
    12 
    13 
    14 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
    15 -----------------------------------
    16 
    17 *** General ***
    18 
    19 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
    20 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
    21 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
    22 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
    23 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
    24 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
    25 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
    26 
    27 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
    28 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
    29 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
    30 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
    31 
    32 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
    33 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
    34 
    35 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
    36 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
    37 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
    38 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
    39 dependencies properly.
    40 
    41 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
    42 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
    43 
    44 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
    45 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
    46 
    47 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
    48 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
    49 and "class ... context ...".
    50 
    51 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
    52 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
    53 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
    54 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
    55 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
    56 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
    57 
    58 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
    59 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
    60 
    61 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
    62 to name patterns (with clickable results).
    63 
    64 
    65 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    66 
    67 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
    68 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
    69 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
    70 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
    71 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
    72 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
    73 
    74 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
    75 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
    76 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
    77 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
    78 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
    79 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
    80 
    81 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
    82 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
    83 browser on demand.
    84 
    85 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
    86 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
    87 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
    88 that frequently occur in user interaction.
    89 
    90 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
    91 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
    92 
    93 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
    94 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
    95 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
    96 potentially infinite message streams.
    97 
    98 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
    99 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   100 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   101 schemes.
   102 
   103 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   104 symbols.
   105 
   106 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   107 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   108 
   109 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   110 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   111 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   112 
   113 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   114 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   115 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   116 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   117 
   118 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   119 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   120 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   121 
   122 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   123 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   124 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   125 Isabelle distribution.
   126 
   127 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   128 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   129 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   130 
   131 
   132 *** Pure ***
   133 
   134 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   135 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   136 
   137 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   138 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   139 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   140 
   141 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   142 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   143 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   144 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   145 with some care where this is really required.
   146 
   147 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   148 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   149 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   150 
   151   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   152 
   153 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   154 a Hasse diagram.
   155 
   156 
   157 *** HOL ***
   158 
   159 * Sledgehammer:
   160 
   161   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   162     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   163   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   164   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   165   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   166   - Renamed options:
   167       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   168       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   169       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   170       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   171 
   172 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   173 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   174 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   175 
   176 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   177 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   178 
   179 * Lifting:
   180   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   181   - quot_del attribute
   182   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   183 
   184 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   185 expressions.
   186 
   187 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   188 pointfree expressions.
   189 
   190 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   191 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   192 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   193 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   194 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   195 
   196 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   197 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   198 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   199 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   200 accordingly.
   201 
   202 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   203 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   204 
   205 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   206 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   207 
   208 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   209 
   210 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   211 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   212 
   213 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   214 
   215 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   216 
   217   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   218   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   219 
   220 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   221 
   222 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   223 
   224   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   225   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   226 
   227 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   228 
   229 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   230 
   231   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   232     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   233     output f x converges to G.
   234 
   235   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   236     infinity (at_bot).
   237 
   238   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   239     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   240 
   241   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   242     at_top".
   243 
   244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   245 
   246 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   247 lattice type classes.
   248 
   249 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   250 
   251     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   252     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   253 
   254 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   255 
   256 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   257 changes as follows.
   258 
   259   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   260 
   261       prefix ~> prefixeq
   262       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   263 
   264   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   265     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   266     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   267     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   268 
   269   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   270     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   271     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   272 
   273   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   274     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   275     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   276     Library/Prefix_Order.
   277 
   278   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   279     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   280 
   281       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   282       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   283       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   284       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   285       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   286       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   287       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   288       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   289       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   290       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   291       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   292       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   293       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   294       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   295       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   296       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   297 
   298 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   299 
   300 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   301 
   302 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   303 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   304 
   305 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   306 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   307 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   308 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   309 
   310   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   311   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   312   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   313   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   314   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   315   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   316   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   317   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   318   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   319   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   320 
   321 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   322 
   323 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   324 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   325 Data").
   326 
   327 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   328 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   329 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   330 code.
   331 
   332 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   333 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   334 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   335 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   336 
   337 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   338 
   339 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   340 
   341 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   342 
   343   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   344   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   345 
   346 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   347 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   348 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   349 
   350   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   351 
   352     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   353     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   354     cart_base i  removed
   355     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   356 
   357   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   358 
   359   Renamed lemmas:
   360 
   361     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   362     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   363     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   364     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   365     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   366     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   367     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   368     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   369     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   370     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   371 
   372 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   373 
   374 * HOL/Probability:
   375 
   376   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   377 
   378   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   379     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   380     (borel_measurable_induct).
   381 
   382   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   383     projective family).
   384 
   385 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   386 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   387 
   388 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   389 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   390 datatypes.
   391 
   392 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   393 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   394 
   395 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   396 trees for the code generator.
   397 
   398 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   399 Lifting/Transfer.
   400 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   401 
   402 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   403 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   404 
   405 
   406 *** Document preparation ***
   407 
   408 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   409 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   410 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   411 
   412 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   413 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   414 
   415 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   416 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   417 document/root.tex.
   418 
   419 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   420 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   421 
   422 
   423 *** ML ***
   424 
   425 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   426 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   427 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   428 
   429 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   430 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   431 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   432 
   433 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   434 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   435 necessarily printing visible text.
   436 
   437 
   438 *** System ***
   439 
   440 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   441 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   442 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   443 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   444 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   445 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   446 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   447 
   448 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   449 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   450 
   451   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   452 
   453 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   454 
   455 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   456 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   457 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   458 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   459 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   460 
   461 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   462 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   463 
   464 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   465 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   466 
   467 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   468 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   469 
   470 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   471 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   472 version of Isabelle.
   473 
   474 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   475 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   476 
   477 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   478 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   479 for home-made settings.
   480 
   481 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   482 
   483 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   484 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   485 configuration.
   486 
   487 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   488 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   489 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   490 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   491 bundled as Isabelle component.
   492

   494 
   495 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   496 ------------------------------
   497 
   498 *** General ***
   499 
   500 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   501 
   502   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   503     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   504   - markup for bound variables
   505   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   506   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   507   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   508     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   509 
   510 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   511 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   512 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   513 
   514 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   515 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   516 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   517 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   518 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   519 
   520   context
   521     fixes x y z :: 'a
   522     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   523   begin
   524 
   525   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   526 
   527   end
   528 
   529   thm my_trans
   530 
   531 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   532 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   533 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   534 
   535 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   536 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   537 
   538 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   539 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   540 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   541 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   542 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   543 
   544 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   545 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   546 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   547 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   548 indices of schematic variables.
   549 
   550 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   551 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   552 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   553 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   554 etc. was exploited.
   555 
   556 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   557 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   558 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   559 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   560 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   561 of the material of that old tutorial.
   562 
   563 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   564 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   565 manual.
   566 
   567 
   568 *** Pure ***
   569 
   570 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   571 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   572 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   573 
   574 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   575 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   576 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   577 undocumented feature.)
   578 
   579 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   580 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   581 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   582 
   583   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   584 
   585   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   586     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   587 
   588 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   589 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   590 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   591 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   592 
   593 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   594 
   595     num ~> num_token
   596     xnum ~> xnum_token
   597     xstr ~> str_token
   598 
   599 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   600 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   601 position information via constraints).
   602 
   603 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   604 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   605 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   606 
   607 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   608 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   609 
   610 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   611 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   612 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   613 
   614 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   615 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   616 
   617 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   618 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   619 
   620   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   621 
   622 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   623 
   624 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   625 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   626 
   627 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
   628 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
   629 legacy since Isabelle2011).
   630 
   631 
   632 *** HOL ***
   633 
   634 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
   635 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
   636 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
   637 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
   638 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
   639 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
   640 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
   641 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
   642 possible.
   643 
   644 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
   645 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
   646 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
   647 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
   648 
   649 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
   650 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   651 
   652 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
   653 
   654 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
   655 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
   656 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
   657 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
   658 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
   659 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
   660 
   661   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
   662     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
   663 
   664   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
   665     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
   666     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
   667 
   668   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
   669     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
   670 
   671   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
   672     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
   673     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
   674 
   675   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
   676     Redefine using other integer operations.
   677 
   678 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
   679 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
   680 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
   681 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
   682 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
   683 
   684   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
   685     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
   686     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
   687     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
   688     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
   689 
   690     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
   691     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
   692 
   693   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
   694     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
   695     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
   696     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
   697     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
   698     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
   699     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
   700     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
   701 
   702   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
   703     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
   704     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
   705     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
   706 
   707   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
   708     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
   709     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
   710     after unfolding the constant definitions.
   711 
   712   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
   713     from type nat to type int.
   714 
   715 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
   716 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
   717 
   718   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
   719     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
   720     type.  Example syntax:
   721 
   722     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
   723       is List.insert
   724 
   725     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
   726     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
   727     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
   728     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
   729     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
   730     by the package.
   731 
   732   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
   733     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
   734     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
   735     code generation for each constant.
   736 
   737   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
   738     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
   739     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
   740     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
   741     lift_definition command to work with the type.
   742 
   743   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
   744     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
   745     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
   746 
   747 * Quotient package:
   748 
   749   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
   750     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
   751 
   752   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
   753     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
   754 
   755   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
   756     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
   757     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
   758 
   759   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
   760     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   761 
   762 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
   763 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
   764 
   765 * Quickcheck:
   766 
   767   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
   768     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
   769     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
   770     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
   771     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
   772 
   773     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
   774     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
   775     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
   776 
   777     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
   778     continues searching for genuine ones.
   779 
   780     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
   781     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
   782     show genuine counterexamples.
   783 
   784   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
   785     value generators for a given type and operations.
   786 
   787     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
   788     constructors of that type.
   789 
   790   - Support for multisets.
   791 
   792   - Added "use_subtype" options.
   793 
   794   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
   795     conjectures in a locale context.
   796 
   797 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
   798 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
   799 
   800 * Sledgehammer:
   801   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
   802     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
   803   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
   804   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
   805     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
   806   - Sped up the minimizer.
   807   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
   808   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
   809   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
   810 
   811 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
   812 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
   813 
   814 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
   815 
   816 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   817 
   818 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
   819 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
   820 
   821   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
   822 
   823 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
   824 a list and a nat.
   825 
   826 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
   827 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
   828 
   829 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
   830 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
   831 default.
   832 
   833 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
   834 
   835   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
   836 
   837 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
   838 
   839 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
   840 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
   841 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
   842 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
   843 one_case.
   844 
   845 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
   846 the result of the fact expression.
   847 
   848 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
   849 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
   850 of some relation theorems:
   851 
   852   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
   853   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   854   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
   855   transp_def ~> transp_trans
   856   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
   857   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
   858 
   859 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
   860 
   861 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
   862 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
   863 
   864 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   865 
   866 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
   867 to match the constant's name:
   868 
   869   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
   870   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
   871   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
   872   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
   873   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
   874   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
   875   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
   876   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
   877   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
   878   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
   879   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
   880   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
   881   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
   882   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
   883   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
   884   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
   885   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
   886   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
   887   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
   888   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
   889   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
   890   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
   891   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
   892   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow

  1301 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1302 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1303 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1304 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1305 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1306 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1307 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1308 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1309 
  1310 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1311 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1312 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1313 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1314 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1315 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1316 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1317 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1318 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1319 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1320 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1321 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1322 
  1323   Renamed constants:
  1324   measure -> emeasure

  1327   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  1342   product_sigma_algebra
  1343 
  1344   Removed constants:
  1345   conditional_space
  1346   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1347   image_space
  1348   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1483 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1484 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1485 
  1486 
  1487 *** FOL ***
  1488 
  1489 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1490 
  1491 
  1492 *** ZF ***
  1493 
  1494 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1495 analysis.
  1496 
  1497 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1498 
  1499 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1500 
  1501 
  1502 *** ML ***
  1503 
  1504 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1505 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1506 
  1507 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1508 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1509 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1510 
  1511 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1512 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1513 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1514 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1515 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1516 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1517 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1518 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1519 
  1520 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1521 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1522 
  1523 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1524 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1525 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1526 
  1527 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1528 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1529 
  1530 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1531 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1532 context as well.
  1533 
  1534 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1535 
  1536   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1537   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1538   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong

  1546   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1547   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1548 
  1549 
  1550 *** System ***
  1551 
  1552 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1553 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1554 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1555 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1556 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1557 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1558 the generic user home was intended.
  1559 
  1560 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1561 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1562 
  1563 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1564 (not just JRE).
  1565 
  1566 
  1567 
  1568 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1569 ------------------------------------
  1570 
  1571 *** General ***
  1572 
  1573 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1574 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1575 
  1576   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1577     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1578     files for checking).
  1579 
  1580   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1581     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1582     positions.
  1583 
  1584   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1585     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1586     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1587 
  1588   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1589     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1590     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1591 
  1592   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1593     cores.
  1594 
  1595   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1596     versions (garbage collection).
  1597 
  1598 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1599 including some remaining limitations.
  1600 
  1601 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1602 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1603 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1604 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1605 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1606 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1607 
  1608 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1609 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1610 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1611 
  1612 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1613 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1614 usedir option -Q.
  1615 
  1616 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1617 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1618 
  1619   long_names   ~> names_long
  1620   short_names  ~> names_short
  1621   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1622 
  1623 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1624 
  1625   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1626 
  1627 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  1628 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  1629 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  1630 
  1631 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  1632 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  1633 
  1634 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  1635   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  1636   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  1637   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  1638     "Classical Reasoner".
  1639 
  1640 
  1641 *** HOL ***
  1642 
  1643 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  1644 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1645 
  1646 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  1647 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  1648 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  1649 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  1650 class complete_linorder.
  1651 
  1652 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  1653 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  1654 
  1655 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  1656 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  1657 
  1658   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]

  1689 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1690 
  1691 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  1692 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1693 
  1694 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  1695 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  1696 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  1697 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1698 
  1699 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  1700 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  1701 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  1702 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1703 
  1704 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  1705 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  1706 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  1707 
  1708 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  1709 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  1710 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1711 
  1712 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  1713 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  1714 
  1715 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  1716 
  1717     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  1718     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  1719 
  1720 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  1721 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1722 
  1723 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  1724 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1725 
  1726 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  1727 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  1728 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  1729 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1825 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  1826 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  1827 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  1828 
  1829 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  1830 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  1831 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  1832 
  1833 * Code generation:
  1834 
  1835   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  1836     characters in the target language.
  1837 
  1838   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  1839     instead.
  1840 
  1841   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  1842 
  1843   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  1844     reactivated by the following theory command:
  1845 
  1846       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  1847 
  1848 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1849 
  1850 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  1851 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  1852 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  1853 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  1854 syntax.
  1855 
  1856 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  1857 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  1858 
  1859 * Nitpick:
  1860   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  1861   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  1862   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  1863     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1864 
  1865 * Sledgehammer:
  1866   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  1867   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  1868     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  1869   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  1870     this can be done within reasonable time.
  1871   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  1872     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1873   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  1874     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  1875   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  1876     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1877 
  1878 * Metis:
  1879   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1880   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  1881     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1882 
  1883 * Command 'try':
  1884   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  1885     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1886   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  1887     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  1888 
  1889 * Quickcheck:
  1890   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  1891     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1892   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  1893     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1894   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  1895     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  1896     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  1897     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  1898   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  1899     (formly in HOL/Library).
  1900 
  1901 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1902 use 'partial_function' instead.
  1903 
  1904 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  1905 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  1906 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  1907 
  1908 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  1909 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  1910 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1911 
  1912 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  1913 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1914 
  1915 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  1916 arithmetic.
  1917 
  1918 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  1919 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  1920 and lattice type classes.
  1921 
  1922 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  1923 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  1924 
  1925 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  1926 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  1927 
  1928 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  1929 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  1930 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1931 
  1932   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  1933   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  1934   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  1935   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  1936 
  1937 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  1938 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  1939 constants:
  1940 
  1941   type inat   ~> type enat
  1942   Fin         ~> enat
  1943   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  1944   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  1945   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  1946 
  1947 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  1948 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1949 
  1950 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  1951 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  1952 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  1953 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  1954 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  1955 
  1956 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  1957 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  1958 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  1959 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  1960 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  1961 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  1962 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  1963 
  1964   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  1965   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  1966   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  1967   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  1968 
  1969 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  1970 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  1971 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2026   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2027   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2028   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2029   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2030     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2061 *** Document preparation ***
  2062 
  2063 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2064 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2065 same.
  2066 
  2067 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2068 result.
  2069 
  2070 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2071 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2072 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2073 
  2074 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2075 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2076 
  2077 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2078 like this:
  2079 
  2080   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2081   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2082 
  2083 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2084 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2085 layouts.
  2086 
  2087 
  2088 *** ML ***
  2089 
  2090 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2091 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2092 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2093 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2094 under external program control.
  2095 
  2096 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2097 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2098 
  2099 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2100 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2101 (better known as Proof General).
  2102 
  2103 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2104 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2105 
  2106 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2107 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2108 
  2109 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2110 (including quotes etc.).
  2111 
  2112 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2113 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2114 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2115 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2116 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2117 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2118 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2119 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2120 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2121 
  2122 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2123 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2124 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2125 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2126 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2127 
  2128 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2129 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2130 
  2131 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2132 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2133 
  2134 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2135 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2136 
  2137 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2138 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2139 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2140 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2141 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2142 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2143 proper Proof.context.
  2144 
  2145 
  2146 *** System ***
  2147 
  2148 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2149 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2150 
  2151 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2152 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2153 
  2154 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2155 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2156 
  2157   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2158   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2159   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2160   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2161   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2162 
  2163 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2164 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2165 
  2166 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2167 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2168 example:
  2169 
  2170   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2171 
  2172 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2173 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2174 
  2175 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2176 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2177 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2178 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2179 
  2180 
  2181 
  2182 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2183 ----------------------------------
  2184 
  2185 *** General ***
  2186 
  2187 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2188 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2189 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2190 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2191 like this:
  2192 
  2193   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2194 
  2195 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2196 
  2197 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2198 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2199 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2200 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2201 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2202 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2203 
  2204 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2205 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2206 the following package declarations:
  2207 
  2208   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2209   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2210 
  2211 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2212 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2213 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2214 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2215 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2216 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2217 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2218 
  2219 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2220 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2221 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2222 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2223 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2224 
  2225 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2226 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2227 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2228 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2229 
  2230 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2231 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2232 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2233 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2234 
  2235   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2247   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2248 
  2249   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2250   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2251 
  2252   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2253 
  2254   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  2255   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  2256   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2257   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2258   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2259 
  2260 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2261 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2262 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2263 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2264 
  2265 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2266 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2267 
  2268   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2269   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2270 
  2271 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2272 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2273 float_token.
  2274 
  2275 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2276 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2277 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2278 
  2279 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2280 DejaVu Sans.
  2281 
  2282 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2283 
  2284 
  2285 *** Pure ***
  2286 
  2287 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2288 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2289 time.
  2290 
  2291 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2292 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2293 
  2294 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2295 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2296 
  2297 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2298 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2299 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2300 command already provided this functionality.
  2301 
  2302 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2303 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2304 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2305 without interpretations.
  2306 
  2307 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2308 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2309 
  2310 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2311 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2312 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2313 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2314 
  2315 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2316 'definition' instead.
  2317 
  2318 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2319 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2320 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2321 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2322 
  2323 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2324 constructors.
  2325 
  2326 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2327 the local file system.
  2328 
  2329 
  2330 *** HOL ***
  2331 
  2332 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2333 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2334 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2335 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2336 
  2337   declare [[coercion f]]
  2338 
  2339 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2340 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2341 
  2342   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2343 
  2344 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2345 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2346 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2347 other theories like this:
  2348 
  2349   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2350 
  2351 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2352 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2353 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2354 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2355 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2356 for examples.
  2357 
  2358 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2359 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2360 
  2361 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2362 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2363 
  2364 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2365 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2366 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2367 
  2368 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2369 functorial structure of types.
  2370 
  2371 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2372 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2373 
  2374 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2375 languages.
  2376 
  2377 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2378 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2379 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2380 
  2381 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2382 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2383 
  2384 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2385 combinators any longer.
  2386 
  2387 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2388 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2389 
  2390 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2391 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2392 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2393 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2394 
  2395   record 'a foo = ...
  2396   ...
  2397   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2398 
  2399 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2400 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2401 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2402 
  2403 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2404 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2405 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2406 
  2407 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2408 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2409 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2410 
  2411 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2412 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2413 
  2414 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2415 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2416 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2417 independently.
  2418 
  2419 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2420 counter example search.
  2421 
  2422 * Sledgehammer:
  2423   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2424     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2425     sledgehammer").
  2426   - Renamed commands:
  2427     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2428     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2429     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2430     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2431   - Renamed options:
  2432     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2433     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2434     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2435     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2436     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2437 
  2438 * Nitpick:
  2439   - Renamed options:
  2440     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2441     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2442     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2443   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2444   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2445   - Added "whack" option.
  2446   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2447   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2448   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2449   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2450     higher cardinalities.
  2451   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2452 
  2453 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2454 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2455 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2456 
  2457     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2458 
  2459 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2460 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2461 
  2462 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2463 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2464 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2465 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2466 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2467 "smt_solver".
  2468 
  2469 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2470 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2471 
  2472 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2473 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2474 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2475 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2476 
  2477 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2478   - Renamed:
  2479     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2480     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2481     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2482   - Added:
  2483     smt_verbose
  2484     smt_random_seed
  2485     smt_datatypes
  2486     smt_infer_triggers
  2487     smt_monomorph_limit

  2493 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2494 header.
  2495 
  2496 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2497 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2498 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2499 
  2500   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2501 
  2502 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2503 
  2504 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2505 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2506 
  2507 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2508 
  2509 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2510 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2511 
  2512 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2513 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2514 
  2515 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2516 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2517 
  2518 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2519 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2520 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2521 
  2522 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2523 
  2524 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2525 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2526 
  2527 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2528 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2529 
  2530 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2531 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2532 for congruent(2)).
  2533 
  2534 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2535 
  2536   types
  2537     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2538     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2539

  2563     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2564 
  2565 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2566 
  2567 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2568 
  2569     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2570     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2571     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2572     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2573     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def

  2575     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2576     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2577 
  2578 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2579 
  2580 * More stylized fact names:
  2581 
  2582   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2583   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2584   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2585   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2586 
  2587 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2588 
  2589 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2590 
  2591   constants
  2592     null ~> List.null
  2593 
  2594   facts
  2595     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2596     null_empty ~> null_def
  2597 
  2598 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2599 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2600 generation.
  2601 
  2602 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2603 Haskell code.
  2604 
  2605 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2606 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2607 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2608 
  2609 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2610 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2611 
  2612 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2613 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2614 
  2615 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2616 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2617 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2618 
  2619 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2620 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2621 
  2622 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2623 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2624 
  2625 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2626 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2627 referred to by its qualified name.
  2628 
  2629   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  2630   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  2631   product ~>  Enum.product
  2632 
  2633 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  2634 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  2635 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2636 
  2637 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  2638 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  2639 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  2640 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2641 
  2642 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  2643 sort_key.
  2644 
  2645 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  2646 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2647 
  2648 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  2649 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  2650 instead of finite cartesian products.
  2651 
  2652   types
  2653     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  2654               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  2655               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  2656         (depends on your needs)
  2657 
  2658   constants
  2659      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  2660      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  2661      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  2662 
  2663 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  2664 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  2665 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  2666 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2667 
  2668 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  2669 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  2670 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  2671 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  2672 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2673 
  2674 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  2675 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2676 
  2677 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  2678 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  2679 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  2680 
  2681 
  2682 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  2683 
  2684 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  2685 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  2686 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  2687 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  2688 compatibility.
  2689 
  2690 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  2691 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  2692 
  2693 
  2694 *** HOLCF ***
  2695 
  2696 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  2697 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  2698 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  2699 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2700 
  2701 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  2702 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  2703 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2704 
  2705   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  2706   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  2707   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  2708 
  2709 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  2710 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  2711 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2712 
  2713 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  2714 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  2715 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  2716 domain definition now works:
  2717 
  2718   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  2719 
  2720 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  2721 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  2722 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  2723 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  2724 
  2725   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  2726     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  2727 
  2728   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  2729 
  2730 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  2731 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  2732 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2733 
  2734 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  2735 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2736 
  2737 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  2738 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  2739 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  2740 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  2741 
  2742 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  2743 
  2744 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2745 
  2746 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2747 
  2748 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  2749 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2750 
  2751 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  2752 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  2753 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  2754 
  2755 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  2756 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  2757 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2758 
  2759 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  2760 still supported as an input translation.
  2761 
  2762 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  2763 
  2764   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  2765   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  2766   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  2767   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  2768   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  2769   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  2770   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  2771 
  2772 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  2773 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2774 
  2775   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  2776   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  2777   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  2778   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  2779   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  2780   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  2781 
  2782 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  2783 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2784 
  2785 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  2786 
  2787   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  2788   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  2789   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  2790   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  2791 
  2792 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2793 
  2794 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  2795 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2796 
  2797 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  2798 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2870 *** FOL and ZF ***
  2871 
  2872 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  2873 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2874 
  2875 
  2876 *** ML ***
  2877 
  2878 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  2879 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  2880 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  2881 
  2882 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  2883 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  2884 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  2885 
  2886 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  2887 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  2888 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  2889 
  2890 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  2891 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  2892 
  2893 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  2894 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  2895 
  2896 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  2897 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  2898 
  2899 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  2900 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  2901 
  2902 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  2903 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  2904 almost all situations.
  2905 
  2906 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  2907 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  2908 Isabelle/ML.
  2909 
  2910 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  2911 meaning.
  2912 
  2913 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  2914 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  2915 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  2916 
  2917 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  2918 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  2919 
  2920 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  2921 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  2922 
  2923 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  2924 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  2925 @{thms} for most purposes.
  2926 
  2927 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  2928 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  2929 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  2930 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  2931 configuration options.
  2932 
  2933 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  2934 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  2935 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  2936 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  2937 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  2938 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  2939 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  2942 
  2943 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  2944 ---------------------------------
  2945 
  2946 *** General ***
  2947 
  2948 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  2949 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  2950 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  2951 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  2952 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  2953 their full internal name.
  2954 
  2955 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  2956 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  2957 Some hints on upgrading:
  2958 
  2959   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  2960     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  2961     which are independent of this issue.
  2962 
  2963   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  2964     provides the following special forms:
  2965 
  2966       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  2967       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  2968       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  2969 
  2970     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  2971     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  2972     extra variables".
  2973 
  2974     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  2975     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  2976     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  2977     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  2978     "logic".
  2979 
  2980   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  2981     antiquotations:
  2982 
  2983       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  2984       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  2985       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  2986       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  2987 
  2988   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  2989     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  2990     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  2991     antiquotations.
  2992 
  2993 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  2994 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  2995 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  2996 diagnose syntax problems.
  2997 
  2998 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  2999 
  3000 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3001 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3002 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3003 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3004 
  3005 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3006 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3007 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3008 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3009 
  3010 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3011 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3012 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3013 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3014 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3015 
  3016 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3017 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3018 
  3019 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3020 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3021 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3022 
  3023   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3024 
  3025 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3026 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3027 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3028 
  3029 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3030 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3031 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3032 
  3033 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3034 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3035 
  3036 
  3037 *** Pure ***
  3038 
  3039 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3040 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3041 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3042 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3043 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3044 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3045 inspect proof terms.
  3046 
  3047 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3048 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3049 are added internally.  For example:
  3050 
  3051   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3052 
  3053 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3054 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3055 
  3056 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3057 
  3058 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3059 'class' instead.
  3060 
  3061 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3062 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3063 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3064 
  3065 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3066 invariants.
  3067 
  3068 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3069 user space functionality any longer.
  3070 
  3071 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3072 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3073 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3074 
  3075 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3076 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3077 
  3078 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3079 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3080 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3081 
  3082 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3083 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3084 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3085 
  3086 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3087 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3088 
  3089 
  3090 *** HOL ***
  3091 
  3092 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3093 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3094 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3095 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3096 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3097 
  3098 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3099 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3100 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3101 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3102 
  3103   fun
  3104     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3105   where
  3106     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3107 
  3108   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3109     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3110 
  3111   quotient_definition
  3112     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3113 
  3114 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3115 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3116 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3117 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3118 
  3119 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3120 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3121 
  3122 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3123 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3124 
  3125 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3126 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3127 
  3128 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3129 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3130 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3131 
  3132 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3133 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3134 
  3135 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3136 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3137 
  3138 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3139 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3140 
  3141 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3142 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3143 
  3144 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3145 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3146 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3179 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3180 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3181 
  3182 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3183 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3184 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3185 
  3186 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3187 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3188 
  3189 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3190 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3191 
  3192 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3193 
  3194 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3195 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3196 
  3197 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3198 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3199 
  3200 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3201 
  3202 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3203 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3204 
  3205 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3206 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3207 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3208 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3209 
  3210 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3211   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3212   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3213   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3214 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3215 
  3216 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3217 lattices):
  3218 
  3219     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3257   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3258   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:

  3264     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3265 
  3266 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3267 
  3268 * Refined field classes:
  3269   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3270     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3271     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3272   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3273 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3274 
  3275 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3276   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3277   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3278   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3279     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3280   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3281     equal_neg_zero.
  3282 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3283 
  3284 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3285 sets to lattices:

  3296   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3297 
  3298 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3299 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3300 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3301 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3302 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3303 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3304 
  3305 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3306 multiset order:
  3307 
  3308   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3309     <= and <;
  3310   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3311     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3312     multiset_order;
  3313   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3314     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3315     generation;
  3316   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3317     if needed.
  3318 
  3319 Renamed:
  3320 
  3321   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3322   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3323   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3324 
  3325 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3326 
  3327 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3328 
  3329 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3330 
  3331 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3332 
  3333 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3334 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3335 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3365   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3366 
  3367 * Sledgehammer:
  3368   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3369     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3370     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3371     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3372     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3373     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3374     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3375   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3376   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3377     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3378   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3379     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3380     is still experimental.)
  3381   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3382     full-typed mode.
  3383   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3384 
  3385 * Nitpick:
  3386   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3387   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3388   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3389     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3390   - Added support for quotient types.
  3391   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3392     constructs.
  3393   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3394     "termination" proofs).
  3395   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3396   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3397   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3398   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3399     record getters.
  3400   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3401   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3402   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3403   - Added "atoms" option.
  3404   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3405     problems.
  3406   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3407     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3408     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3409   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3410     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3411   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3412 
  3413 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3414   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3415   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3416   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3417   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3418   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3419   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3420   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3421   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3422   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3423 
  3424 
  3425 *** HOLCF ***
  3426 
  3427 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3428 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3429 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3430 
  3431 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3432 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3433 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3434 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3435 
  3436 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3437 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3438 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3439 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3440 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3441 
  3442 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3443 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3444 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3445 
  3446 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3447 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3448 
  3449   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3450   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3451 
  3452 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3453 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3454 
  3455   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3456   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3457   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3458   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3459   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3460 
  3461 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3462 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3463 
  3464   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3465   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3466   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3467 
  3468 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3469 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3470 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3471 
  3472 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3473 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3474 
  3475 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3476 
  3477 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3478 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3479 
  3480 
  3481 *** ML ***
  3482 
  3483 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3484 
  3485     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3486     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3487 
  3488     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3489     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3490     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3491     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3492 
  3493     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3494     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3495     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3496 
  3497 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3498 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3499 
  3500 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3501 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3502 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3503 
  3504 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3505 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3506 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3507 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3508 
  3509 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3510 the context or even global references.
  3511 
  3512 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3513 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3514 
  3515 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3516 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3517 
  3518   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3519   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3520   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3521   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3522   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3523   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3524   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3525   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3526   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3527   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3528 
  3529 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3530 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3531 
  3532 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3533 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3534 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3535 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3536 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3537 
  3538 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3539 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3540 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3541 Theory_Data version.
  3542 
  3543 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3544 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3545 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3546 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3547 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3548 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3549 explicitly in rare situations.
  3550 
  3551 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3552 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3553 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3554 
  3555 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3556 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3557 
  3558 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3559 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3560 quite rare).
  3561 
  3562 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3563 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3564 
  3565 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3566 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3567 terms.
  3568 
  3569 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3570 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3571 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3572 
  3573 
  3574 *** System ***
  3575 
  3576 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3577 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3578 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3579 
  3580 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3581 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3582 respectively.
  3583 
  3584 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3585 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3586 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3587 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3588 
  3589   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3590 
  3591 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3592 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3593 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3594 component.
  3595 
  3596 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3597 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3598 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3599 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3600 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3601 the user for manual installation.
  3602 
  3603 
  3604 
  3605 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3606 -------------------------------------
  3607 
  3608 *** General ***
  3609 
  3610 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3611 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3612 
  3613 
  3614 *** Pure ***
  3615 
  3616 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3617 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3618 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3619 
  3620 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3621 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3622 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3623 
  3624 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3625 interpretation.
  3626 
  3627 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  3628 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3629 
  3630 
  3631 *** Document preparation ***
  3632 
  3633 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  3634 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  3635 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  3636 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  3637 
  3638 
  3639 *** HOL ***
  3640 
  3641 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  3642 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  3643 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  3644 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  3645 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  3646 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  3647 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  3648 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  3649 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  3650 
  3651 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  3652 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  3653 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  3654 
  3655 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  3656 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  3657 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  3658 
  3659 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  3660 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  3661 
  3662 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  3663 
  3664 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  3665 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  3666 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  3667 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  3668 
  3669 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  3670 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  3671 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  3672 "mirabelle" utility.
  3673 
  3674 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  3675 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  3676 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  3677 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  3678 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  3679 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  3680 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  3681 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  3682 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  3683 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  3684 
  3685 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  3686 procedure only.
  3687 
  3688 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  3689 
  3690 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  3691 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  3692 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  3693 that fail later.
  3694 
  3695 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  3696 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  3697 
  3698 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  3699 the same method as the approximation method.
  3700 
  3701 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  3702 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  3703 series expansion.
  3704 
  3705 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  3706 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  3707 
  3708 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  3709 reals.
  3710 
  3711 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  3712 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  3713 
  3714 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  3715 fixpoint theorem.
  3716 
  3717 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3718   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  3719     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  3720   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  3721     accordingly
  3722   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  3723     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  3724   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  3725     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  3726 
  3727 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  3728 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  3729 lattice.
  3730 
  3731 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  3732 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  3733 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  3734 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  3735 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  3736 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  3737 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3738 
  3739 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  3740   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  3741     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  3742   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  3743     le_inf_iff
  3744   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  3745     sup_aci)
  3746   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  3747   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  3748   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  3749     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  3750     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  3751     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  3752     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  3753     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  3754     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  3755     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  3756     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  3757     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  3758     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  3759   - authentic syntax for
  3760     Set.Pow
  3761     Set.image
  3762   - mere abbreviations:
  3763     Set.empty               (for bot)
  3764     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  3765     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  3766     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  3767     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  3768     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  3769     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  3770     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  3771   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  3772 
  3773 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  3774 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  3775 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  3776 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  3777 
  3778 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  3779 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  3780 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3781 
  3782 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  3783 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3784 
  3785 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  3786 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  3787 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  3788 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3789 
  3790 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  3791 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3792 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  3793 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  3794 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  3795 
  3796 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  3797 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  3798 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3799 
  3800 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  3801 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3802 
  3803 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  3804 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  3805 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  3806 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  3807 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  3808 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  3809 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  3810 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3811 
  3812 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  3813     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  3814     code_post       replaces    code post
  3815     etc.
  3816   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3817 
  3818 * Renamed methods:
  3819     sizechange -> size_change
  3820     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  3821   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3822 
  3823 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  3824 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  3825 
  3826 * Renamed theorems:
  3827     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3828     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  3829     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3830     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  3831     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  3832   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3833 
  3834 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  3835 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3836 
  3837 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  3838 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3839 
  3840 
  3841 *** HOLCF ***
  3842 
  3843 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  3844 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  3845 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  3846 
  3847 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  3848 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  3849 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  3850 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  3851 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  3852 
  3853 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  3854 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  3855 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  3856 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  3857 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  3858 
  3859 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  3860 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  3861 constructor are pre-configured.
  3862 
  3863 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  3864 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  3865 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  3866 
  3867 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  3868 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  3869 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  3870 as well.)
  3871 
  3872 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  3873 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  3874 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  3875 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  3876 examples.
  3877 
  3878 
  3879 *** ML ***
  3880 
  3881 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  3882 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  3883 
  3884 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  3885 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  3886 position, logical grouping etc.
  3887 
  3888 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  3889 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  3890 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  3891 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  3892 
  3893 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  3894 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  3895 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  3896 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  3897 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  3898 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  3899 
  3900 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  3901 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  3902 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  3903 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  3904 experiments with references.
  3905 
  3906 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  3907 parallel tactical reasoning.
  3908 
  3909 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  3910 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  3911 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  3912 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  3913 
  3914 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  3915 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  3916 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  3917 
  3918 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  3919 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  3920 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3921 
  3922 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3923 
  3924 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  3925 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3926 
  3927 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  3928 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  3929 
  3930 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  3931 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  3932 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  3933 
  3934 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  3935 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  3936 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3937 
  3938 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  3939 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  3940 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  3941 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3942 
  3943 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3944 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  3945 instead of global theory.
  3946 
  3947 
  3948 *** System ***
  3949 
  3950 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  3951 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  3952 usedir option -q.
  3953 
  3954 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  3955 also the system manual.
  3956 
  3957 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  3958 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  3959 
  3960 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  3961 this is always enabled.
  3962 
  3963 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  3964 
  3965 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  3966 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  3967 currently supported on Linux only.
  3968 
  3969 
  3970 
  3971 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  3972 --------------------------------
  3973 
  3974 *** General ***
  3975 
  3976 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  3977 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3978 
  3979   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  3980     "isatool."
  3981 
  3982   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  3983     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  3984 
  3985   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  3986     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  3987 
  3988 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  3989 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  3990 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  3991 
  3992 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  3993 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  3994 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  3995 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  3996 via "isabelle emacs".
  3997 
  3998 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  3999 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4000 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4001 
  4002 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4003 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4004 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4005 
  4006 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4007 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4008 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4009 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4010 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4011 
  4012 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4013 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4014 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4015 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4016 
  4017 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4018 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4019 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4020 
  4021 
  4022 *** Pure ***
  4023 
  4024 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4025 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4026 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4027 
  4028 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4029 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4030 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4031 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4032 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4033 
  4034 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4035 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4036 useful in locale declarations.
  4037 
  4038 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4039 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4040 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4041 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4042 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4043 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4044 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4045 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4046 no longer generated.
  4047 
  4048 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4049 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4050 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4051 
  4052 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4053 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4054 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4055 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4056 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4057 
  4058 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4059 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4060 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4061 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4062 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4063 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4064 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4065 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4066 
  4067 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4068 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4069 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4070 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4071 
  4072 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4073 
  4074 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4075 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4076 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4077 
  4078 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4079 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4080 
  4081 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4082 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4083 in HOL, write
  4084 
  4085     class foo = ...
  4086 
  4087 instead of
  4088 
  4089     class foo = type + ...
  4090 
  4091 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4092 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4093 
  4094 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4095 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4096 
  4097 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4098 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4099 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4100 
  4101 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4102 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4103 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4104 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4105 directly in regular applications.
  4106 
  4107 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4108 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4109 
  4110 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4111 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4112 
  4113 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4114 theory context.
  4115 
  4116 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4117 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4118 
  4119 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4120 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4121 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4122 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4123 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4124 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4125 
  4126   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4127 
  4128 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4129 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4130 normalization.
  4131 
  4132 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4133 addressing etc.
  4134 
  4135 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4136 
  4137   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4138   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4139 
  4140 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4141 
  4142   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4143      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4144      parts of the code generator framework).
  4145 
  4146   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4147      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4148      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4149 
  4150 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4151 
  4152 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4153 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4154 
  4155 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4156 patterns, e.g.
  4157 
  4158     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4159 
  4160 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4161 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4162 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4163 hyphen:
  4164 
  4165     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4166 
  4167 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4168 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4169 
  4170 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4171 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4172 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4173 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4174 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4175 higher-order unification.
  4176 
  4177 
  4178 *** Document preparation ***
  4179 
  4180 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4181 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4182 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4183 
  4184 
  4185 *** HOL ***
  4186 
  4187 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4188 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4189 
  4190 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4191 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4192 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4193 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4194 Main, as before.
  4195 
  4196 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4197 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4198 
  4199 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4200 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4201 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4202 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4203 
  4204 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4205 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4206 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4207 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4208 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4209 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4210 
  4211 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4212 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4213 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4214 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4215 
  4216 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4217 menu.
  4218 
  4219 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4220 (contains the empty clause).
  4221 
  4222 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4223 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4224 
  4225 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4226 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4227 
  4228 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4229 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4230 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4231 
  4232 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4233 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4234 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4235 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4236 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4237 
  4238 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4239 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4240 
  4241 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4242 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4243 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4244 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4245 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4246 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4247 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4248 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4249 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4250 
  4251 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4252 
  4253 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4254 
  4255 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4256 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4257 
  4258 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4259 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4260 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4261 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4262 
  4263 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4264 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4265 
  4266     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4267     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4268     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4269     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4270     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4271     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4272     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4273     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4274 
  4275 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4276 theory Set.
  4277 
  4278 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4279 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4280 
  4281 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4282 
  4283 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4284 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4285 
  4286 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4287 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4288 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4289 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4290 allowed. For examples see
  4291 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4292 
  4293 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4294 
  4295 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4296 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4297 
  4298 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4299 structure:

  4352 
  4353 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4354 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4355 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4356 
  4357 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4358 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4359 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4360 
  4361 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4362 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4363 
  4364 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4365 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4366 
  4367 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4368 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4369 proofs, e.g.
  4370 
  4371   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4372 
  4373 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4374 
  4375 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4376 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4377 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4378 
  4379 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4380 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4381 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4382 
  4383 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4384 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4385 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4386 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4387 
  4388 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4389 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4390 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4391 preorder_class.*.
  4392 
  4393 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4394 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4395 
  4396 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4397 
  4398   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4399 
  4400 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4401 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4402 fold_image.
  4403 
  4404 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4405 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4406 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4407 the former will disappear at some point.
  4408 
  4409 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4410 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4411 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4412 
  4413 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4414 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4415 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4416 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4417 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4418 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4419 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4420 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4421 
  4422 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4423 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4424 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4425 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4426 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4427 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4428 
  4429     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4430     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4431     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4432     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4433     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4434     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4435     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4436 
  4437 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4438 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4439 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4440 
  4441 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4442 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4443 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4444 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4445 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4446 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4447 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4448 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4449 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4450 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4451 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4452 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4453 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4454 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4455 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4456 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4457 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4458 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4459 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4460 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4461 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4462 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4463 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4464 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4465 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4466 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4467 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4468 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4469 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4470 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4471 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4472 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4473 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4474 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4475 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4476 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4477 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4478 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4479 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4480 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4481 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4482 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4483 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4484 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4485 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4486 
  4487 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4488 
  4489 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4490 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4491 
  4492 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4493 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4494 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4495 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4496 
  4497 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4498 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4499 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4500 theory RealVector.
  4501 
  4502 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4503 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4504 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4505 and inner products are included.
  4506 
  4507 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4508 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4509 supported.
  4510 
  4511 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4512 first diagonalization argument.
  4513 
  4514 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4515 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4516 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4517 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4518 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4519 
  4520     hide (open) const gcd
  4521     abbreviation gcd where
  4522       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4523     notation (output)
  4524       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4525 
  4526 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4527 
  4528 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4529 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4530 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4531 
  4532 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4533 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4534 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4535 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4536 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4537 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4538 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4539 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4540 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4541 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4542 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4543 cases.
  4544 
  4545 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4546 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4547 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4548 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4549 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4550 
  4551     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4552     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4553     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4554     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4555     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4556 
  4557 
  4558 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4559 
  4560 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4561 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4562 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4563 
  4564 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4565 
  4566 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4567 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4568 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4569 
  4570 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4571 
  4572 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4573 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4574 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4575 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4576 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4577 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4578 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4579 
  4580 
  4581 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4582 
  4583 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4584 
  4585 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4586 theory targets.
  4587 
  4588 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4589 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4590 'inductive' etc.
  4591 
  4592 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4593 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4594 
  4595 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4596 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4597 
  4598 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4599 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4600 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4601 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4602 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4603 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4604 the algorithm W:
  4605 
  4606  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4607  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4608          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4609 
  4610 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4611 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4612 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4613 
  4614 
  4615 *** HOLCF ***
  4616 
  4617 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4618 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4619 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4620 
  4621 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4622 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4623 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4624 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4625 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4626 
  4627 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  4628 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4629 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4630 
  4631 
  4632 *** ZF ***
  4633 
  4634 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  4635 
  4636 
  4637 *** ML ***
  4638 
  4639 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  4640 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  4641 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  4642 5.2.1!
  4643 
  4644 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  4645 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  4646 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  4647 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  4648 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  4649 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  4650 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4651 
  4652 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  4653 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  4654 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  4655 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  4656 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  4657 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  4658 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4659 
  4660 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  4661 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  4662 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  4663 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  4664 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4665 
  4666 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  4667 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  4668 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  4669 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  4670 Method.add_method.
  4671 
  4672 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  4673 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  4674 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  4675 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  4676 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  4677 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  4678 
  4679 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  4680 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  4681 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  4682 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  4683 examples.
  4684 
  4685 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  4686 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  4687 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  4688 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  4689 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  4690 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  4691 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  4692 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  4693 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  4694 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  4695 
  4696 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  4697 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  4698 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  4699 
  4700 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  4701 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  4702 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  4703 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  4704 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  4705 resort for legacy applications.
  4706 
  4707 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  4708 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  4709 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  4710 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  4711 explicit runtime argument.
  4712 
  4713 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  4714 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  4715 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  4716 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  4717 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4718 
  4719 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  4720 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  4721 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  4722 theory state.
  4723 
  4724 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  4725 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  4726 
  4727   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  4728   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  4729   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  4730   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  4731   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  4732   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  4733   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  4734   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  4735   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  4736   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  4737 
  4738 
  4739 *** System ***
  4740 
  4741 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  4742 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  4743 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  4744 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  4745 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  4746 
  4747 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  4748 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  4749 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  4750 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  4751 
  4752 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  4753 
  4754 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  4755 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  4756 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  4757 prover operations.
  4758 
  4759 
  4760 
  4761 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  4762 -------------------------------
  4763 
  4764 *** General ***
  4765 
  4766 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  4767 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  4768 
  4769 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  4770 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  4771 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  4772 provides a proper context already.
  4773 
  4774 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4775 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  4776 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  4777 
  4778 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  4779 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  4780 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  4781 swap theory imports.
  4782 
  4783 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  4784 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  4785 
  4786 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  4787 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4788 white space without escapes.
  4789 
  4790 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  4791 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  4792 "foo_bar".
  4793 
  4794 
  4795 *** Pure ***
  4796 
  4797 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  4798 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  4799 
  4800 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  4801 There are three ways of invoking it:
  4802 
  4803 (1) unused_thms
  4804      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  4805 
  4806 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  4807      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  4808      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  4809 
  4810 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  4811      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  4812      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  4813      their ancestors.
  4814 
  4815 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  4816 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  4817 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  4818 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  4819 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  4820 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  4821 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  4822 
  4823 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  4824 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  4825 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  4826 
  4827 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  4828 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  4829 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  4830 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  4831 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  4832 
  4833 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  4834 
  4835 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  4836 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  4837 update of theories within ML code.
  4838 
  4839 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  4840 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  4841 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  4842 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  4843 
  4844 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  4845 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  4846 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  4847 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4848 
  4849 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  4850 
  4851 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  4852 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  4853 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  4854 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  4855 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  4856 
  4857 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  4858 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  4859 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  4860 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  4861 situations.
  4862 
  4863 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  4864 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  4865 proof text.
  4866 
  4867 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  4868 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  4869 
  4870 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  4871 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  4872 predicates.
  4873 
  4874 
  4875 *** Document preparation ***
  4876 
  4877 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  4878 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  4879 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  4880 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  4881 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  4882 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  4883 
  4884 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  4885 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  4886 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  4887 
  4888 
  4889 *** HOL ***
  4890 
  4891 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  4892 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  4893 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  4894 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  4895 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  4896 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  4897 
  4898 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  4899 with multithreading.
  4900 
  4901 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  4902 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  4903 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  4904 
  4905 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  4906 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  4907 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  4908 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4909 
  4910 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  4911 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  4912 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  4913 and makes them available separately.  See
  4914 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  4915 
  4916 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  4917 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  4918 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  4919 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  4920 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  4921 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  4922 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  4923 the declared rules.
  4924 
  4925 This setup also deals with rules like 
  4926 
  4927   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  4928 
  4929 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  4930 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  4931 
  4932 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  4933 
  4934   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  4935 
  4936   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  4937     definitions on => and bool.
  4938 
  4939   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  4940     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  4941     the following theorems have been renamed:
  4942 
  4943       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  4944       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  4945       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  4946       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  4947       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  4948       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  4949       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  4950       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  4951 
  4952   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  4953     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  4954     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  4955 
  4956   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  4957     The proof pattern
  4958 
  4959       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4960       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  4961 
  4962     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  4963     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  4964 
  4965       have "EX S. P S"
  4966       proof
  4967         show "P S" <...>
  4968       qed
  4969 
  4970   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  4971     The proof pattern
  4972 
  4973       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4974       also have "S = T" <...>
  4975       finally have "P T" .
  4976 
  4977     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  4978     must be replaced by something like
  4979 
  4980       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4981       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  4982       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  4983 
  4984   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  4985     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  4986 
  4987       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  4988 
  4989     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  4990     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  4991     type of the form
  4992 
  4993       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  4994 
  4995     rather than
  4996 
  4997       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  4998 
  4999 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5000 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5001 
  5002 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5003 
  5004 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5005 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5006 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5007 
  5008 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5009 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5010 
  5011 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5012 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5013 
  5014 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5015 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5016 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5017 
  5018 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5019 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5020 
  5021   less_trans
  5022   less_linear
  5023   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5024   le_less_trans
  5025   less_le_trans
  5026   less_not_sym
  5027   less_asym
  5028 
  5029 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5030 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5031 and different variable names.
  5032 
  5033 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5034 
  5035 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5036 finite maps.
  5037 
  5038 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5039 
  5040 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5041 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5042 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5043 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5044 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5045 accordingly.
  5046 
  5047 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5048 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5049 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5050 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5051 
  5052 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5053 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5054 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5055 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5056 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5057 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5058 
  5059 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5060 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5061 
  5062 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5063 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5064 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5065 
  5066 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5067 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5068 
  5069 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5070 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5071 
  5072 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5073 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5074 
  5075 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5076 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5077 
  5078 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5079 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5080 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5081 
  5082 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5083 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5084 
  5085 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5086 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5087 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5088 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5089 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5090 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5091 
  5092 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5093 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5094 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5095 
  5096 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5097 
  5098 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5099 
  5100 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5101 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5102 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5103 
  5104 
  5105 *** ZF ***
  5106 
  5107 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5108 same session:
  5109 
  5110   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5111   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5112   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5113   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5114   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5115   List      -> List_ZF
  5116   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5117 
  5118 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5119 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5120 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5121 
  5122 
  5123 *** ML ***
  5124 
  5125 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5126 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5127 
  5128 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5129 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5130 
  5131 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5132 
  5133 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5134 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5135 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5136 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5137 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5138 
  5139 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5140 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5141 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5142 
  5143 
  5144 *** System ***
  5145 
  5146 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5147 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5148 
  5149 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5150 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5151 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5152 
  5153 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5154 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5155 
  5156 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5157 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5158 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5159 
  5160 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5161 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5162 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5163 
  5164 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5165 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5166 
  5167 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5168 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5169 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5170 script.
  5171 
  5172 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5173 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5174 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5175 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5176 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5177 
  5178 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5179 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5180 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5181 
  5182 
  5183 
  5184 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5185 -----------------------------------
  5186 
  5187 *** General ***
  5188 
  5189 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5190 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5191 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5192 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5193 
  5194 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5195 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5196 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5197 
  5198 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5199 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5200 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5201 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5202 
  5203 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5204 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5205 quotes.
  5206 
  5207 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5208 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5209 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5210 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5211 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5212 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5213 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5214 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5215 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5216 
  5217 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5218 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5219 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5220 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5221 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5222 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5223 
  5224 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5225 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5226 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5227 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5228 
  5229 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5230 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5231 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5232 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5233 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5234 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5235 
  5236 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5237 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5238 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5239 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5240 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5241 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5242 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5243 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5244 
  5245 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5246 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5247 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5248 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5249 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5250 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5251 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5252 
  5253 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5254 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5255 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5256 
  5257 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5258 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5259 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5260 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5261 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5262 limit is imposed.
  5263 
  5264 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5265 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5266 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5267 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5268 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5269 and scalability.
  5270 
  5271 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5272 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5273 
  5274 
  5275 *** Document preparation ***
  5276 
  5277 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5278 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5279 current context.
  5280 
  5281 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5282 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5283 
  5284 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5285 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5286 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5287 
  5288 
  5289 *** Pure ***
  5290 
  5291 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5292 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5293 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5294 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5295 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5296 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5297 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5298 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5299 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5300 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5301 
  5302 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5303 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5304 sketch:
  5305 
  5306     internal compilation:
  5307         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5308     writing SML code to a file:
  5309         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5310     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5311         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5312     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5313         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5314 
  5315     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5316         method ``eval''
  5317 
  5318 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5319 
  5320 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5321 
  5322     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5323     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5324     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5325     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5326 
  5327 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5328 
  5329     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5330       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5331 
  5332     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5333       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5334 
  5335     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5336       {(target)}+
  5337         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5338 
  5339     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5340       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5341         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5342 
  5343 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5344 
  5345 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5346 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5347 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5348 codegen".
  5349 
  5350 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5351 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5352 annotations).
  5353 
  5354 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5355 syntax.
  5356 
  5357 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5358 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5359 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5360 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5361 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5362 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5363 
  5364 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5365 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5366 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5367 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5368 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5369 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5370 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5371 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5372 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5373 equations, see section "definitions".
  5374 
  5375 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5376 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5377 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5378 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5379 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5380 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5381 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5382 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5383 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5384 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5385 
  5386 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5387 configuration options:
  5388 
  5389   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5390   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5391   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5392   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5393   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5394   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5395   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5396   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5397   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5398 
  5399 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5400 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5401 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5402 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5403 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5404 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5405 order.
  5406 
  5407 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5408 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5409 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5410 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5411 context encountered later on.
  5412 
  5413 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5414 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5415 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5416 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5417 
  5418 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5419 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5420 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5421 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5422 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5423 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5424 
  5425 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5426 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5427 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5428 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5429 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5430 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5431 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5432 more permissive.
  5433 
  5434 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5435 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5436 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5437 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5438 maintainability of proof texts.
  5439 
  5440 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5441 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5442 
  5443   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5444   then guess x and y by clarify
  5445 
  5446 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5447 proof tools being involved here.
  5448 
  5449 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5450 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5451 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5452 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5453 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5454 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5455 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5456 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5457 
  5458 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5459 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5460 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5461 
  5462   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5463   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5464   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5465   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5466 
  5467 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5468 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5469 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5470 
  5471 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5472 both named and unnamed ones.
  5473 
  5474 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5475 
  5476   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5477 
  5478 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5479 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5480 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5481 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5482 
  5483 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5484 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5485 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5486 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5487 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5488 
  5489 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5490 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5491 
  5492 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5493 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5494 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5495 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5496 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5497 originally first one.
  5498 
  5499 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5500 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5501 expected.
  5502 
  5503 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5504 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5505 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5506 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5507 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5508 
  5509   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5510     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5511     obtains x where "P x"
  5512 
  5513   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5514     assumes "A & B"
  5515     obtains A and B
  5516 
  5517   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5518     assumes "A | B"
  5519     obtains
  5520       A
  5521     | B
  5522 
  5523 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5524 explicitly:
  5525 
  5526   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5527     obtains "~ thesis"
  5528 
  5529   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5530     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5531 
  5532 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5533 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5534 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5535 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5536 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5537 case_names).
  5538 
  5539 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5540 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5541 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5542 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5543 
  5544 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5545 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5546 top-level lemma.
  5547 
  5548 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5549 introduction rule (default "that").
  5550 
  5551 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5552 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5553 to occur.
  5554 
  5555 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5556 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5557 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5558 representations independently of name spaces.
  5559 
  5560 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5561 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5562 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5563 
  5564 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5565 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5566 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5567 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5568 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5569 current context.
  5570 
  5571 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5572 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5573 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5574 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5575 
  5576   axiomatization
  5577     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5578     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5579 
  5580   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5581   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5582 
  5583   abbreviation
  5584     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5585     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5586 
  5587 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5588 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5589 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5590 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5591 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5592 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5593 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5594 
  5595 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5596 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5597 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5598 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5599 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5600 
  5601 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5602 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5603 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5604 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5605 
  5606 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5607 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5608 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5609 
  5610   definition "K x _ = x"
  5611 
  5612   inductive conj for A B
  5613   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5614 
  5615 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5616 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5617 abbreviations on output.
  5618 
  5619 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5620 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5621 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5622 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5623 
  5624 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5625 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5626 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5627 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  5628 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  5629 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  5630 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  5631 
  5632 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  5633 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  5634 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  5635 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  5636 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  5637 
  5638 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  5639 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  5640 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  5641 
  5642 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  5643 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  5644 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  5645 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  5646 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  5647 
  5648   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  5649     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  5650 
  5651 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  5652 definition specification element in the context of locale
  5653 partial_order.
  5654 
  5655 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  5656 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  5657 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  5658 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  5659 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  5660 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  5661 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  5662 examples.
  5663 
  5664 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  5665 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  5666 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  5667 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  5668 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  5669 
  5670 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  5671 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  5672 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  5673 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  5674 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  5675 
  5676   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  5677   (induct set: foo bar)
  5678   (induct pred: foo bar)
  5679   (induct type: foo bar)
  5680 
  5681 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  5682 new format.
  5683 
  5684 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  5685 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  5686 
  5687 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  5688 considered a legacy feature.
  5689 
  5690 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  5691 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5692 
  5693 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  5694 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  5695 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  5696 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  5697   
  5698 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  5699 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  5700 manipulating the claset.
  5701 
  5702 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  5703 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  5704 least one premise.
  5705 
  5706 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  5707 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  5708 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  5709 rule steps.
  5710 
  5711 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  5712 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  5713 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  5714 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  5715 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  5716 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  5717 
  5718 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  5719 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  5720 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  5721 
  5722 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  5723 the graph browser tool.
  5724 
  5725 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  5726 default; use '!' option for full details.
  5727 
  5728 
  5729 *** HOL ***
  5730 
  5731 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  5732 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  5733 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  5734 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  5735 multi-threading.
  5736   
  5737 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  5738 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  5739 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  5740 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  5741 work with multi-threading.
  5742 
  5743 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  5744 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  5745 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  5746 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  5747 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  5748 
  5749 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  5750 
  5751 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  5752 equality.
  5753 
  5754 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  5755 the new 'class' package:
  5756 
  5757     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  5758     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  5759     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  5776     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  5777 
  5778 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  5779 
  5780 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  5781 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  5782 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  5783 names.
  5784 
  5785 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  5786 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  5787 
  5788 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  5789 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  5790 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  5791 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  5792 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  5793 
  5794 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  5795 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  5796 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  5797 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  5798 
  5799 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  5800 
  5801 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  5802 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  5803 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  5804 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  5805 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5806 
  5807 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  5808 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5809 
  5810 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  5811 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  5812 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5813 
  5814 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  5815 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  5816 
  5817 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  5818 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  5819 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  5820 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  5821 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  5822 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  5823 in the current context.
  5824 
  5825 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  5826 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  5827 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5828 
  5829 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  5830 with new class dense_linear_order.
  5831 
  5832 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  5833 
  5834     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  5835     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  5836 
  5837     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  5838       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  5839     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  5840     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  5841 
  5842     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  5843     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  5844 
  5845   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  5846 
  5847     meet_left_le            ~> inf_le1
  5848     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  5947 
  5948 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  5949 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  5950 
  5951 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  5952 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  5953 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  5954 "*.size".
  5955 
  5956 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  5957 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5958 
  5959 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  5960 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  5961 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5962 
  5963 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5964 
  5965 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  5966 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  5967 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  5968 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  5969 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  5970 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  5971 numerals on all operations.
  5972 
  5973 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  5974 
  5975 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  5976 
  5977 * Code generator library theories:
  5978   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  5979     languages.
  5980   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  5981     languages.
  5982   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  5983     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  5984   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  5985   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  5986     denominator).
  5987   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  5988     representable by rational numbers.
  5989   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  5990     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  5991     includes Code_Integer.
  5992   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  5993     target-language built-in integers.
  5994   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  5995     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  5996 
  5997 * New package for inductive predicates
  5998 
  5999   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6000 
  6001     inductive
  6002       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6003       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6004     where
  6005       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6006     | ...
  6007 
  6008   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6009 
  6010     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6011 
  6012     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6013     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6014 
  6015     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6016     intros
  6017       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6018       ...
  6019 
  6020   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6021   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6022 
  6023     inductive_set
  6024       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6025       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6026     where
  6027       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6028     | ...
  6029 
  6030   or
  6031 
  6032     inductive_set
  6033       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6034       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6035       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6036     where
  6037       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6038     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6039     | ...
  6040 
  6041   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6042 
  6043   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6044   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6045 
  6046   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6047 
  6048   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6049     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6050     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6051     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6052     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6053 
  6054   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6055     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6056     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6057     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6058     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6059     statements of the form
  6060 
  6061       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6062 
  6063     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6064     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6065 
  6066       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6067 
  6068   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6069 
  6070       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6071         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6072         ==> ... ==> P
  6073 
  6074     for predicates and
  6075 
  6076       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6077         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6078         ==> ... ==> P
  6079 
  6080     for sets rather than
  6081 
  6082       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6083         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6084         ==> ... ==> P
  6085 
  6086     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6087     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6088     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6089 
  6090   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6091     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6092     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6093 
  6094 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6095 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6096 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6097 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6098 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6099 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6100 
  6101 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6102 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6103 
  6104 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6105 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6106 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6107 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6108 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6109 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6110 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6111 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6112 variable.
  6113 
  6114 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6115 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6116 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6117 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6118   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6119   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6120 
  6121 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6122 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6123 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6124 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6125 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6126 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6127 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6128 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6129 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6130 
  6131 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6132 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6133 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6134 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6135 rat, etc.
  6136 
  6137 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6138 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6139 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6140 
  6141 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6142 
  6143 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6144 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6145 
  6146 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6147 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6148 
  6149 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6150 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6151 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6152 
  6153 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6154 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6155 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6156 
  6157 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6158 
  6159 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6160 
  6161 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6162 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6163 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6164 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6165 
  6166 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6167 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6168 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6169 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6170 
  6171 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6172 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6173 algebraic operations.
  6174 
  6175 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6176 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6177 
  6178 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6179 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6180 
  6181 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6182 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6183 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6184 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6185 adapted.
  6186  
  6187 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6188 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6189 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6190 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6191 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6192 
  6193 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6194 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6195 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6196 
  6197 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6198 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6199 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6200 
  6201 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6202 
  6203 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6204 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6205 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6206   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6207       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6208   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6209   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6210   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6211 
  6212 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6213 
  6214 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6215 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6216 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6217 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6218 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6219 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6220 
  6221 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6222 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6223 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6224 
  6225 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6226 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6227 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6228 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6229 
  6230 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6231 
  6232 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6233 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6234 
  6235 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6236 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6237 
  6238 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6239 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6240 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6241 
  6242 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6243 True/False.
  6244 
  6245 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6246 
  6247 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6248 
  6249 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6250 ``rule'' method.
  6251 
  6252 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6253 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6254 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6255 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6256 
  6257 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6258 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6259 
  6260 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6261 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6262 
  6263 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6264 Library.
  6265 
  6266 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6267 
  6268 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6269 as greatest fixed-point.
  6270 
  6271 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6272 association lists.
  6273 
  6274 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6275 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6276 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6277 
  6278 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6279 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6280 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6281 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6282 behavior.
  6283 
  6284 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6285 
  6286 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6287 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6288 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6289 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6290 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6291 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6292 
  6293 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6294 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6295 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6296 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6297 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6298 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6299 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6300 
  6301 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6302 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6303 
  6304 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6305 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6306 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6307 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6308 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6309 
  6310 
  6311 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6312 
  6313 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6314 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6315 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6316 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6317 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6318 
  6319 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6320 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6321 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6322 
  6323 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6324 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6325 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6326 
  6327 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6328 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6329 
  6330 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6331 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6332 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6333 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6349   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6350 
  6351 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6352 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6353 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6354 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6355

  6364   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6365 
  6366 
  6367 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6368 
  6369 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6370 
  6371 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6372 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6373 
  6374 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6375 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6376 
  6377 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6378 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6379 of algebraic structures.
  6380 
  6381 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6382 
  6383 
  6384 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6385 
  6386 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6387 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6388 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6389 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6390 
  6391 
  6392 *** ML ***
  6393 
  6394 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6395 (even on SML/NJ).
  6396 
  6397 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6398 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6399 compile-time.  For example:
  6400 
  6401 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6402 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6403 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6404 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6405 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6406 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6407 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6408 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6409 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6410 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6411 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6412 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6413 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6414 ML {* @{context} *}
  6415 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6416 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6417 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6418 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6419 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6420 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6421 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6422 
  6423 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6424 
  6425 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6426 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6427 
  6428 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6429 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6430 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6431 
  6432 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6433 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6434 
  6435 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6436 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6437 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6438 
  6439 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6440 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6441 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6442 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6443 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6444 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6445 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6446 declarations and definitions.
  6447 
  6448 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6449 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6450 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6451 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6452 
  6453 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6454 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6455 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6456 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6457 
  6458 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6459 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6460 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6461 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6462 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6463 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6464 
  6465 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6466 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6467 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6468 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6469 attributes, methods, etc.
  6470 
  6471 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6472 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6473 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6474 fold_map combinators.
  6475 
  6476 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6477 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6478 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6479 derivation.
  6480 
  6481 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6482 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6483 achieve the old behaviour.
  6484 
  6485 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6486 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6487 statements.
  6488 
  6489 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6490 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6491 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6492 
  6493 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6494 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6495 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6496 
  6497   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6498   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6499   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6500 
  6501 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6502 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6503 
  6504 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6505 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6506 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6507 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6508 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6509 
  6510 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6511 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6512 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6513 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6514 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6515 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6516 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6517 in a locale context).
  6518 
  6519 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6520 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6521 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6522 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6523 
  6524 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6525 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6526 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6527 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6528 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6529 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6530 
  6531 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6532 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6533 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6534 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6535 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6536 
  6537   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6538 
  6539 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6540 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6541 this:
  6542 
  6543   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6544 
  6545 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6546 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6547 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6548 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6549 
  6550 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6551 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6552 
  6553 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6554 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6555 
  6556 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6557 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6558 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6559 batch mode.
  6560 
  6561 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6562 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6563 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6564 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6565 
  6566 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6567 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6568 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6569 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6570 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6571 
  6572 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6573 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6574 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6575 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6576 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6577 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6578 
  6579 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6580 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6581 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6582 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6583 
  6584 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6585 "Trueprop" etc.
  6586 
  6587 
  6588 *** System ***
  6589 
  6590 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6591 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6592 Isabelle installations.
  6593 
  6594 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6595 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6596 code.
  6597 
  6598 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6599 
  6600 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6601 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6602 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6603 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6604 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6605 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6606 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6607 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6608 Implementation manual.

  6621   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6622   begin
  6623 
  6624 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6625 
  6626   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6627 
  6628 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  6629 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  6630 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  6631 
  6632 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  6633 relative and absolute paths.
  6634 
  6635 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  6636 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  6637 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  6638 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  6639 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  6640 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  6641 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  6642 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  6643 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  6644 
  6645   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  6646 
  6647 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  6648 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  6649 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  6650 
  6651 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  6652 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6653 
  6654 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  6655 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  6656 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  6657 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  6658 
  6659   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  6660   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  6661 
  6662 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  6663 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  6664 faster.
  6665 
  6666 
  6667 *** Document preparation ***
  6668 
  6669 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  6670 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  6671 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  6672 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  6673 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  6674 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  6675 
  6676 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  6677 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  6678 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  6679 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  6680 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  6681 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  6682 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  6683 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  6684 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  6685 \isadroptag.
  6686 
  6687 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  6688 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  6689 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  6690 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  6691 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  6692 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  6693 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  6694 specified above.
  6695 
  6696 * Several new antiquotations:
  6697 
  6698   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  6699 
  6700   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  6701 
  6702   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  6703   argument is a known logical constant;
  6704 
  6705   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  6706   theorem applying a "style" to it
  6707 
  6708   @{ML text}
  6709 
  6710 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  6711 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  6712 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  6713 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  6714 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  6715 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  6716 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  6717 
  6718 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  6719 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  6720 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  6721 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  6722 
  6723 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  6724 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  6725 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  6726 
  6727 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  6728 a proof context.
  6729 
  6730 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  6731 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  6732 
  6733 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  6734 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  6735 
  6736 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  6737 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  6738 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  6739 
  6740 
  6741 *** Pure ***
  6742 
  6743 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  6744 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  6745 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  6746 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  6747 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  6748 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  6749 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  6750 
  6751 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  6752 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  6753 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  6754 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  6755 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  6756 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  6757 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  6758 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  6759 
  6760 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  6761 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  6762 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  6763 
  6764 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  6765 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  6766 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  6767 
  6768 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  6769 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  6770 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  6771 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  6772 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6773 
  6774 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  6775 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  6776 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  6777 axclasses vs. locales.
  6778 
  6779 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  6780 instead of base 26 numbers.
  6781 
  6782 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  6783 marks in schematic variable names.
  6784 
  6785 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  6786 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  6787 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  6788 
  6789   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  6790     by simp
  6791 
  6792 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  6793 
  6794 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  6795 annotations as "(00...)".
  6796 
  6797 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  6798 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  6799 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  6800 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  6801 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  6802 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  6803 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  6804 
  6805 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  6806 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  6807 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  6808 specifications.
  6809 
  6810 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  6811 locally fixed variables as well.
  6812 
  6813 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  6814 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  6815 Limit.
  6816 
  6817 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  6818 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  6819 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  6820 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  6821 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  6822 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  6823 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  6824 
  6825 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  6826 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  6827 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  6828 
  6829 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6830 
  6831 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  6832 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  6833 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  6834 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  6835 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  6836 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  6837 
  6838 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  6839 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  6840 
  6841 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  6842 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  6843 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  6844 
  6845 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  6846 
  6847 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  6848 theory development.
  6849 
  6850 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  6851 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  6852 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  6853 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  6854 
  6855 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  6856 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  6857 quoted when used as identifier.
  6858 
  6859 
  6860 *** Locales ***
  6861 
  6862 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  6863 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  6864 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  6865 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  6866 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  6867 commands is a follows:
  6868 
  6869   (1) interpretation expr inst
  6870   (2) interpretation target < expr
  6871   (3) interpret expr inst
  6872 
  6873 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  6874 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  6875 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  6876 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  6877 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  6878 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  6879 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  6880 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  6881 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  6882 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  6883 
  6884 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  6885 'interpret' instead.
  6886 
  6887 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  6888 parameters.
  6889 
  6890 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  6891 redeclaration.
  6892 
  6893 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  6894 
  6895 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  6896 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  6897 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  6898 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  6899 to attribute arguments as expected.
  6900 
  6901 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  6902 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  6903 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  6904 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  6905 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  6906 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  6907 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  6908 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  6909 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  6910 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  6911 
  6912 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  6913 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  6914 theorem statement in rare situations.
  6915 
  6916 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  6917 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  6918 
  6919 
  6920 *** Provers ***
  6921 
  6922 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  6923 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  6924 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  6925 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  6926 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  6927 
  6928 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  6929 and quasi orders.
  6930 
  6931 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  6932 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  6933 
  6934 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  6935 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  6936 
  6937 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  6938 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  6939 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6940 
  6941 
  6942 *** HOL ***
  6943 
  6944 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  6945 
  6946   syntax (epsilon)
  6947     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  6948 
  6949 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  6950 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  6951 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  6952 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6953 
  6954 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  6955 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  6956 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  6957 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  6958 
  6959 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  6960 instead of ":".
  6961 
  6962 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  6963 
  6964   Old       New
  6965   {..n(}    {..<n}
  6966   {)n..}    {n<..}
  6967   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  6968   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  6969   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  6970 
  6971 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  6972 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  6973 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  6974 
  6975   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  6976   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  6977 
  6978 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  6979 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  6980 interface.
  6981 
  6982 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  6983 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  6984 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  6985 be a tuple pattern.
  6986 
  6987 Some new syntax forms are available:
  6988 
  6989   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  6990   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  6991   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  6992   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  6993 
  6994 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  6995 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  6996 
  6997 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  6998 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  6999 (insert F x)'.
  7000 
  7001 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7002 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7003 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7004 
  7005 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7006 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7007 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7008 
  7009 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7010 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7011 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7012 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7013 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7014 
  7015 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7016 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7017 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7018 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7019 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7020 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7021 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7022 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7023 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7024 
  7025 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7026 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7027 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7028 quite long.
  7029 
  7030 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7031 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7032 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7033 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7034 
  7035 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7036 type-variables in the term.
  7037 
  7038 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7039 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7040 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7041 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7042 goals than previously.
  7043 
  7044 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7045 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7046 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7047 just like y <= x.
  7048 
  7049 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7050 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7051 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7052 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7053 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7054 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7055 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7056 
  7057 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.

  7059 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7060 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7061 
  7062 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7063 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7064 inequalities.
  7065 
  7066 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7067 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7068 
  7069   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7070   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7071   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  7072   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  7073   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos

  7075   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7076   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7077   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7078   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7079   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7080 
  7081 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7082      
  7083      zero_le_square
  7084      not_square_less_zero 
  7085 
  7086   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7087   
  7088      realpow_zero_zero
  7089      realpow_two
  7090      realpow_less
  7091      zero_le_power
  7092      realpow_two_le
  7093      abs_realpow_two
  7094      realpow_two_abs     
  7095 
  7096 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7097 
  7098 * Theory List:
  7099 
  7100 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7101 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7102 
  7103   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7104   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7105   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7106   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7107 
  7108 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7109 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7110 
  7111 
  7112 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7113 
  7114 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7115 integers in the reals.
  7116 
  7117 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7118 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7119 
  7120   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7121   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7122   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7123   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7124   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7125 
  7126 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7127 
  7128 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7129 
  7130 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7131 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7132 
  7133   hypreal = real star
  7134   hypnat = nat star
  7135   hcomplex = complex star
  7136 
  7137 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7138 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7139 
  7140   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  7141 
  7142   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC

  7152   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7153 
  7154 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7155 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7156 
  7157   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  7158   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs

  7164   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  7165   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  7166   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right

  7177   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  7178   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  7179   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  7180   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7181 
  7182 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7183 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7184 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7185 
  7186   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7187   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  7188   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  7189   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int

  7274 
  7275 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7276 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7277 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7278 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7279 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7280 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7281 
  7282 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7283 
  7284 
  7285 *** HOLCF ***
  7286 
  7287 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7288 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7289 type-inference.
  7290 
  7291 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7292 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7293 instead of exponential time).
  7294 
  7295 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7296 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7297 
  7298   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7299 
  7300 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7301 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7302 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7303 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7304 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7305 syntax and examples.
  7306 
  7307 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7308 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7309 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7310 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7311 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7312 
  7313 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7314 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7315 
  7316   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7317   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7318   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7319   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7320   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7321   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7322 
  7323 
  7324 *** ZF ***
  7325 
  7326 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7327 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7328 of a homomorphism).
  7329 
  7330 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7331 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7332 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7333 
  7334 
  7335 *** Cube ***
  7336 
  7337 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7338 theories.
  7339 
  7340 
  7341 *** ML ***
  7342 
  7343 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7344 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7345 
  7346 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7347 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7348 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7349 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7350 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7351 
  7352 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7353 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7354 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7355 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7356 
  7357 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7358 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7359 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7360 
  7361     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7362     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7363     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7364     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7365     seq fs = List.app fs
  7366     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7367     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7368 
  7369 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7370 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7371 
  7372   x |> f                f #> g
  7373   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7374 
  7375 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7376 
  7377   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7378   infix 2 ?;
  7379   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7380   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7381 
  7382 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7383 infix operators.
  7384 
  7385 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7386 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7387 example:
  7388 
  7389   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7390     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7391 
  7392   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7393     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7394 
  7395   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7396     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7397 
  7398   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7399     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7400 
  7401 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7402 available:
  7403 
  7404   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7405   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7406   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7407   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7408 
  7409 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7410 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7411 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7412 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7413 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7414 
  7415   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7416   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7417   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7418 
  7419 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7420 
  7421   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7422   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7423 
  7424 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7425 Naive rewrites:
  7426 
  7427   make_keylist = AList.make
  7428   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7429 
  7430 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7431   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7432 
  7433     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7434     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7435 
  7436 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7437   Naive rewrites:
  7438 
  7439     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7440     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7441 
  7442 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7443 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7444 lists.
  7445 
  7446 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7447 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7448 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7449 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7450 
  7451 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7452 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7453 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7454 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7455 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7456 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7457 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7458 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7459 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7460 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7461 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7462 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7463 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7464 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7465 Output.raw have no effect.
  7466 
  7467 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7468 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7469 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7470 
  7471 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7472 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7473 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7474 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7475 
  7476 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7477 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7478 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7479 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7480 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7481 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7482 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7483 
  7484 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7485 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7486 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7487 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7488 
  7489 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7490 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7491 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7492 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7493 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7494 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7495 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7496 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7497 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7498 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7499 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7500 
  7501 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7502 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7503 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7504 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7505 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7506 with earlier declarations.
  7507 
  7508 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7509 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7510 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7511 
  7512 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7513 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7514 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7515 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7516 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7517 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7518 
  7519   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7520     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7521 
  7522   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7523     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7524 
  7525   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7526     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7527     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7528     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7529 
  7530 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7531 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7532 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7533 
  7534 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7535 
  7536 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7537 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7538 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7539 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7540 
  7541 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7542 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7543 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7544 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7545 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7546 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7547 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7548 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7549 
  7550 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7551 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7552 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7553 
  7554 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7555 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7556 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7557 
  7558 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7559 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7560 
  7561   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7562   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7563   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7564   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7565 
  7566 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7567 
  7568 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7569 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7570 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7571 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7572 (both increase the runtime).
  7573 
  7574 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7575 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7576 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7577 
  7578 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7579 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7580 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7581 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7582 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7583 for further details.
  7584 
  7585 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7586 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7587 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7588 scripts for the time being.
  7589 
  7590 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7591 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7592 
  7593   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7594   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7595 
  7596 
  7597 *** System ***
  7598 
  7599 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7600 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7601 
  7602 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7603 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7604 
  7605 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7606 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7607 
  7608 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7609 distribution being used.
  7610 
  7611 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7612 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7613 theories.
  7614 
  7615 
  7616 
  7617 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7618 --------------------------------
  7619 
  7620 *** General ***
  7621 
  7622 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7623   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7624 
  7625 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7626   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7627   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  7628   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  7629   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  7630   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  7631   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  7632   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  7633   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  7634   existing theory and ML files.
  7635 
  7636 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  7637 
  7638 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  7639   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  7640   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  7641   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  7642 
  7643 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  7644   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  7645   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  7646   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  7647 
  7648 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  7649   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  7650   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  7651 
  7652 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  7653   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  7654   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  7655   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  7656   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  7657 
  7658 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  7659   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  7660 
  7661 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  7662   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  7663   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  7664 
  7665 
  7666 *** Isar ***
  7667 
  7668 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  7669   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  7670   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  7671     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  7672     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  7673     emulations.
  7674   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  7675     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  7676     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  7677 
  7678 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  7679   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  7680     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  7681     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  7682   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  7683 
  7684 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  7685   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  7686   and derived forms.
  7687 
  7688 * Locales:
  7689   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  7690     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  7691     "_axioms") in the premise.
  7692     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  7693   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  7694     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  7695   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  7696     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  7697   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  7698         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  7699     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  7700     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  7701     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  7702     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  7703     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  7704       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  7705     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  7706     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  7707     with "locale (open)".
  7708       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  7709 
  7710 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  7711   (Isar) contexts.
  7712 
  7713 
  7714 *** HOL ***
  7715 
  7716 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  7717   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  7718   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  7719   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  7720   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  7721 
  7722 * Simplifier:
  7723   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  7724     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  7725     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  7726     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  7727     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  7728   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  7729     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  7730     is solved by simplification already.
  7731 
  7732 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  7733     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  7734 
  7735 * Numerics:
  7736   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  7737     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  7738   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  7739     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  7740   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  7741     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  7742     exponentiation).
  7743 
  7744 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  7745 
  7746 * Records:
  7747   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  7748     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  7749     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  7750   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  7751     (not enabled by default).
  7752   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  7753     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  7754   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  7755 
  7756 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  7757   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  7758   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  7759 
  7760 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  7761 
  7762 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  7763 
  7764 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  7765   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  7766 
  7767 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  7768   matrix theory to linear programming.
  7769 
  7770 * Unions and Intersections:
  7771   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  7772   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  7773   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  7774   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  7775 
  7776 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  7777   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  7778   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  7779   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  7780 
  7781 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  7782   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  7783 
  7784 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  7785   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  7786 
  7787 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  7788   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  7789   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  7790 
  7791 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  7792   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  7793   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  7794   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  7795   for examples.
  7796 
  7797 
  7798 *** HOLCF ***
  7799 
  7800 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  7801 
  7802 
  7803 
  7804 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  7805 ------------------------------
  7806 
  7807 *** General ***
  7808 
  7809 * Provers/simplifier:
  7810 
  7811   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  7812     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  7813     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  7814     the order of assumptions.
  7815 
  7816     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7817 
  7818     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  7819        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  7820 
  7821         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  7822 
  7823        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  7824 
  7825         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  7826 
  7827        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  7828        kind of problem.
  7829 
  7830     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  7831        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  7832        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  7833        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  7834        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  7835        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  7836        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  7837 
  7838   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  7839 
  7840   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  7841     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  7842     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  7843     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  7844     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  7845     the simplifier would diverge.
  7846 
  7847   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  7848 
  7849   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  7850     congruence is ignored.
  7851 
  7852 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  7853   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  7854   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  7855 
  7856 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  7857 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  7858    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  7859 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  7860 
  7861 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  7862 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  7863       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  7864 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  7865 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  7866 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  7867 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  7868 
  7869 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  7870 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  7871 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  7872 assumption failed.
  7873 
  7874 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  7875 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  7876 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  7877 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  7878 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  7879 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  7880 on the old view without predicates;
  7881 
  7882 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  7883 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  7884 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  7885 
  7886 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  7887 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  7888 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  7889 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  7890 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  7891 be given (the default is 40);
  7892 
  7893 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  7894 (batch-mode only);
  7895 
  7896 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  7897 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  7898 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  7899 
  7900 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  7901 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  7902 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  7903 
  7904 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  7905 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  7906 
  7907 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  7908 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  7909 
  7910 
  7911 *** HOL ***
  7912 
  7913 * arith(_tac)
  7914 
  7915  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  7916    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  7917    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  7918    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  7919 
  7920  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  7921 
  7922  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  7923    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  7924    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  7925 
  7926 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  7927 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  7928 
  7929 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  7930 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  7931 
  7932 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  7933 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  7934 "<=", "<" and "=").
  7935 
  7936 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  7937 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  7938 
  7939 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  7940 definition;
  7941 
  7942 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  7943 Finite_Set);
  7944 
  7945 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  7946 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  7947 
  7948 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  7949   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  7950 
  7951 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  7952 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  7953 of the empty set.
  7954 
  7955 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  7956 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  7957 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  7958 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  7959 
  7960 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  7961 
  7962 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  7963 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  7964 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  7965 
  7966 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  7967 
  7968 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  7969 Fleuriot);
  7970 
  7971 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  7972 
  7973 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  7974 Gray and Kramer);
  7975 
  7976 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  7977 
  7978 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  7979 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  7980 
  7981 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  7982 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  7983 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  7984 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  7985 assignment, exceptions.
  7986 
  7987 
  7988 *** ZF ***
  7989 
  7990 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  7991 universe, etc.);
  7992 
  7993 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  7994 
  7995 
  7996 *** ML ***
  7997 
  7998 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  7999 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8000 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8001 
  8002 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8003 
  8004 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8005 up simprocs;
  8006 
  8007 
  8008 *** Document preparation ***
  8009 
  8010 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8011 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8012 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8013 
  8014 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8015 other packages
  8016 
  8017 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8018 broke \Rightarrow)
  8019 
  8020 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8021 textcomp package)
  8022 
  8023 
  8024 
  8025 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8026 --------------------------------
  8027 
  8028 *** Document preparation ***
  8029 
  8030 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8031 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8032 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8033 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8034 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8035 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8036 
  8037 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8038 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8039 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8040 
  8041 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8042 blocks after section headings;
  8043 
  8044 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8045 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8046 
  8047 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8048 better in printed text;
  8049 
  8050 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8051 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8052 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8053 
  8054 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8055 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8056 location;
  8057 
  8058 
  8059 *** Isar ***
  8060 
  8061 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8062   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8063     "case (Suc n)");
  8064   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8065     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8066     instantiation of cases;
  8067   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8068     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8069     rules without further ado;
  8070   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8071     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8072     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8073     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8074     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8075   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8076     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8077     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8078     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8079     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8080     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8081   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8082     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8083     below);
  8084   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8085     success (no backtracking);
  8086   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8087   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8088   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8089     General versions);
  8090   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8091   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8092 
  8093 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8094 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8095 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8096 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8097 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8098 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8099 fails:
  8100 
  8101   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8102 
  8103 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8104 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8105 
  8106 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8107 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8108 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8109 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8110 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8111 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8112 some examples;
  8113 
  8114 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8115 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8116 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8117 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8118 qualified by the locale name);
  8119 
  8120 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8121 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8122 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8123 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8124 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8125 
  8126 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8127 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8128 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8129 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8130 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8131 
  8132 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8133 
  8134 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8135 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8136 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8137 
  8138 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8139 
  8140 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8141 
  8142 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8143 
  8144 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8145 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8146 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8147 
  8148 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8149 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8150 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8151 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8152 proof *scripts*;
  8153 
  8154 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8155 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8156 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8157 especially important for locales);
  8158 
  8159 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8160 mode;
  8161 
  8162 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8163 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8164 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8165 situations;
  8166 
  8167 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8168 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8169 
  8170 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8171 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8172 discontinued;
  8173 
  8174 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8175 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8176 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8177 
  8178 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8179 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8180 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8181 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8182 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8183 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8184 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8185 
  8186 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8187 of introduction rules;
  8188 
  8189 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8190 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8191 conditional rules;
  8192 
  8193 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8194 
  8195 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8196 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8197 
  8198 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8199 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8200 
  8201 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8202 wf_induct_rule;
  8203 
  8204 
  8205 *** HOL ***
  8206 
  8207 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8208 follows:
  8209 
  8210   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8211   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8212 
  8213   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8214   binary representation internally;
  8215 
  8216   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8217   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8218 
  8219 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8220 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8221 
  8222   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8223   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8224   to be spaced properly;
  8225 
  8226   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8227   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8228 
  8229   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8230 
  8231   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8232 
  8233 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8234 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8235 
  8236 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8237 
  8238 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8239 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8240 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8241 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8242 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8243 
  8244 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8245   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8246     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8247     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8248     declared as simp by default;
  8249   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8250     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8251   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8252     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8253   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8254   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8255     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8256     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8257   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8258     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8259 
  8260 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8261 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8262 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8263 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8264 
  8265 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8266 
  8267 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8268         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8269         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8270 
  8271 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8272 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8273 
  8274 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8275 
  8276 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8277 
  8278 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8279 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8280   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8281 
  8282 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8283 in this (rare) case use:
  8284 
  8285   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8286   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8287 
  8288 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8289 MAY FAIL;
  8290 
  8291 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8292 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8293 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8294 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8295 
  8296 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8297 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8298 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8299 
  8300 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8301 expressions;
  8302 
  8303 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8304 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8305 
  8306 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8307 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8308 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8309 
  8310 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8311 
  8312 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8313 the "cases" method);
  8314 
  8315 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8316 Florian Kammller);
  8317 
  8318 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8319 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8320 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8321 
  8322 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8323 
  8324 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8325 
  8326 
  8327 *** HOLCF ***
  8328 
  8329 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8330 operations;
  8331 
  8332 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8333 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8334 
  8335 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8336 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8337 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8338 
  8339 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8340 
  8341 
  8342 *** ZF ***
  8343 
  8344 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8345 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8346 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8347 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8348 
  8349 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8350 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8351 
  8352 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8353 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8354 
  8355 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8356 typeless version of the formalism;
  8357 
  8358 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8359 format;
  8360 
  8361 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8362 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8363 new-style theory format;
  8364 
  8365 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8366 
  8367 
  8368 *** General ***
  8369 
  8370 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8371 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8372 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8373 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8374 
  8375 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8376 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8377 
  8378 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8379 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8380 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8381 properly;
  8382 
  8383 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8384 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8385 
  8386 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8387 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8388 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8389 type variable);
  8390 
  8391 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8392 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8393 "type_brackets";
  8394 
  8395 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8396 tokens into AST constants;
  8397 
  8398 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8399 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8400 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8401 
  8402 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8403 practice);
  8404 
  8405 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8406 addSafter;
  8407 
  8408 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8409 as well;
  8410 
  8411 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8412 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8413 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8414 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8415 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8416 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8417 
  8418 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8419 
  8420 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8421 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8422 
  8423 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8424 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8425 
  8426 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8427 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8428 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8429 
  8430 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8431 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8432 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8433 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8434 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8435 
  8436 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8437 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8438 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8439 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8440 
  8441 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8442 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8443 terminal);
  8444 
  8445 
  8446 
  8447 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8448 -----------------------------------
  8449 
  8450 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8451 
  8452 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8453 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8454 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8455 
  8456 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8457 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8458 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8459 'split_rule (complete)';
  8460 
  8461 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8462 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8463 
  8464 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8465 
  8466 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8467 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8468 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8469 
  8470 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8471 operation;
  8472 
  8473 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8474 
  8475 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8476 
  8477 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8478 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8479 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8480 
  8481 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8482 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8483 
  8484 
  8485 *** Document preparation ***
  8486 
  8487 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8488 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8489 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8490 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8491 type-writer);
  8492 
  8493 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8494 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8495 
  8496 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8497 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8498 
  8499 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8500 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8501 definitions);
  8502 
  8503 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8504 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8505 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8506 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8507 
  8508 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8509 fonts;
  8510 
  8511 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8512 generation;
  8513 
  8514 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8515 
  8516 
  8517 *** Isar ***
  8518 
  8519 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8520 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8521 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8522 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8523 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8524 
  8525 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8526 rules as well;
  8527 
  8528 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8529 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8530 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8531 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8532 
  8533 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8534 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8535 
  8536 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8537 statements as well;
  8538 
  8539 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8540 
  8541 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8542 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8543 
  8544 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8545 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8546 
  8547 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8548 
  8549 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8550 
  8551 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8552 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8553 
  8554 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8555 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8556 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8557 
  8558 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8559 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8560 the result to be shown in each case;
  8561 
  8562 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8563 
  8564 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8565 
  8566 
  8567 *** HOL ***
  8568 
  8569 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8570 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8571 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8572 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8573 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8574 
  8575 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8576 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8577 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8578 
  8579 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8580 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8581 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8582 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8583 literature;
  8584 
  8585 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8586 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8587 operator \<Sum>;
  8588 
  8589 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8590 HOL/subset.thy);
  8591 
  8592 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8593 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8594 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8595 
  8596 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8597 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8598 
  8599 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8600 rules with string literals);
  8601 
  8602 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8603  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8604  functions for the reals;
  8605 
  8606 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8607 
  8608 
  8609 *** CTT ***
  8610 
  8611 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8612 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8613 
  8614 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8615 and Arith);
  8616 
  8617 
  8618 *** General ***
  8619 
  8620 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8621 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8622 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8623 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8624 
  8625 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8626 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8627 
  8628 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  8629 as assumptions as well;
  8630 
  8631 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  8632 
  8633 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  8634 
  8635 
  8636 
  8637 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  8638 ----------------------------------
  8639 
  8640 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8641 
  8642 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  8643 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  8644 issue the following ML commands:
  8645 
  8646   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  8647   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  8648 
  8649 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  8650 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  8651 
  8652 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  8653 
  8654 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  8655 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  8656 
  8657   select_equality  -> some_equality
  8658   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  8659   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  8660   selectI2         -> someI2
  8661   selectI          -> someI
  8662   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  8663   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  8664   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  8665 
  8666 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  8667 
  8668 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  8669 instead);
  8670 
  8671 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  8672 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  8673 
  8674 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  8675 
  8676 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  8677 sometimes be needed;
  8678 
  8679 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  8680 
  8681 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  8682 
  8683 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  8684 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  8685 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  8686 
  8687 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  8688 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  8689 
  8690 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  8691 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  8692 
  8693   syntax (symbols)
  8694     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  8695       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  8696 
  8697 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8698 
  8699 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  8700 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  8701 internally;
  8702 
  8703 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  8704 changed from A/r to A//r;
  8705 
  8706 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  8707 proofs;
  8708 
  8709 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  8710 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  8711 
  8712 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8713 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  8714 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  8715 "rule del";
  8716 
  8717 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  8718 
  8719 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  8720 
  8721 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  8722 lib/texinputs);
  8723 
  8724 
  8725 *** Document preparation ***
  8726 
  8727 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  8728 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  8729 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  8730 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  8731 
  8732 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  8733 including proper document sources;
  8734 
  8735 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  8736 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  8737 of isatool usedir;
  8738 
  8739 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  8740 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  8741 LaTeX debugging;
  8742 
  8743 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  8744 
  8745 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  8746 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  8747 graph for 'all sessions';
  8748 
  8749 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  8750 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  8751 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  8752 
  8753 
  8754 *** Isar ***
  8755 
  8756 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  8757 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  8758 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  8759 
  8760 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  8761 generalized existence reasoning;
  8762 
  8763 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  8764 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  8765 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  8766 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  8767 premises;
  8768 
  8769 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  8770 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  8771 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  8772 to theorems as "tags";
  8773 
  8774 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  8775 class/type/const name spaces;
  8776 
  8777 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  8778 indicate potential overloading;
  8779 
  8780 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  8781 
  8782 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  8783 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  8784 
  8785 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  8786 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  8787 with the version in Provers/classical;
  8788 
  8789 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  8790 case name 'antecedent';
  8791 
  8792 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  8793 to the current context is now done automatically);
  8794 
  8795 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  8796 for definining proof methods in ML;
  8797 
  8798 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8799 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  8800 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  8801 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  8802 
  8803 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  8804 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  8805 
  8806 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  8807 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  8808 well (including splits);
  8809 
  8810 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  8811 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  8812 
  8813 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  8814 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  8815 
  8816 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  8817 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  8818 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  8819 
  8820 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  8821 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  8822 calculations;
  8823 
  8824 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  8825 method anyway;
  8826 
  8827 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  8828 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  8829 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  8830 
  8831 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  8832 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  8833 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  8834 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  8835 
  8836 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  8837 
  8838 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  8839 
  8840 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  8841 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  8842 proof states;
  8843 
  8844 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  8845 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  8846 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  8847 
  8848 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  8849 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  8850 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  8851 (for HOL datatypes);
  8852 
  8853 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  8854 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  8855 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  8856 
  8857 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  8858 
  8859 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  8860 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  8861 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  8862 
  8863 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  8864 
  8865 
  8866 *** HOL ***
  8867 
  8868 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  8869 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  8870 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  8871 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  8872 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  8873 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  8874 
  8875 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  8876 Clemens Ballarin;
  8877 
  8878 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  8879 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  8880 Rasmussen;
  8881 
  8882 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  8883 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  8884 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  8885 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  8886 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  8887 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  8888 
  8889 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  8890 von Oheimb;
  8891 
  8892 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  8893 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  8894 
  8895 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  8896 
  8897 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  8898 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  8899 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  8900 
  8901 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  8902 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  8903 well; admit "r" as field name;
  8904 
  8905 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  8906 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  8907 
  8908 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  8909 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  8910 
  8911 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  8912    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  8913    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  8914   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  8915     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  8916   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  8917     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  8918 
  8919 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  8920 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  8921 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  8922 
  8923 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  8924 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  8925 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  8926 
  8927 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  8928 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  8929 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  8930 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  8931 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  8932 
  8933 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  8934 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  8935 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  8936 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  8937 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  8938 each equation;
  8939 
  8940 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  8941 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  8942 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  8943 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  8944 
  8945 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  8946 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  8947 
  8948 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  8949 
  8950 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  8951 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  8952 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  8953 
  8954 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8955 
  8956 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  8957 main HOL, but was unused);
  8958 
  8959 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  8960 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  8961 
  8962 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  8963 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  8964 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  8965 bogus);
  8966 
  8967 
  8968 *** ZF ***
  8969 
  8970 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  8971 expressions over nat and int;
  8972 
  8973 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  8974 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  8975 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  8976 
  8977 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  8978 using the function intify;
  8979 
  8980 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  8981 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  8982 
  8983 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  8984 simplification;
  8985 
  8986 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  8987 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  8988 
  8989 
  8990 *** General ***
  8991 
  8992 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  8993 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  8994 
  8995 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  8996 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  8997 
  8998 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  8999 explicit make_elim);
  9000 
  9001 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9002   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9003 use instead the strong form,
  9004   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9005 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9006 from destruct-rules;
  9007 
  9008 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9009 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9010 
  9011 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9012 
  9013 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9014 for hiding of names;
  9015 
  9016 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9017 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9018 situations;
  9019 
  9020 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9021 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9022 Poly/ML);
  9023 
  9024 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9025 useful for remote X11);
  9026 
  9027 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9028 
  9029 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9030 order;
  9031 
  9032 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9033 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9034 
  9035 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9036 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9037 
  9038 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9039 overloading (usually false);
  9040 
  9041 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9042 results;
  9043 
  9044 
  9045 
  9046 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9047 --------------------------------
  9048 
  9049 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9050 
  9051 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9052 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9053 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9054 
  9055     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9056 
  9057 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9058 complement;
  9059 
  9060 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9061 
  9062 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9063   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9064 
  9065 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9066 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9067 
  9068 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9069 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9070 
  9071 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9072 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9073 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9074 
  9075 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9076 
  9077 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9078         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9079 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9080 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9081         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9082 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9083 
  9084 
  9085 *** Proof tools ***
  9086 
  9087 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9088 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9089 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9090 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9091 
  9092 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9093      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9094   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9095   matching.
  9096 
  9097 
  9098 *** General ***
  9099 
  9100 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9101 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9102 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9103 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9104 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9105 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9106 
  9107 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9108 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9109 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9110 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9111 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9112 
  9113 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9114 Isabelle/Isar;
  9115 
  9116 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9117 using the graph browser tool;
  9118 
  9119 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9120 
  9121 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9122 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9123 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9124 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9125 isatool doc ref);
  9126 
  9127 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9128 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9129 
  9130 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9131 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9132 
  9133 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9134 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9135 Isabelle;
  9136 
  9137 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9138 
  9139 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9140 empty;
  9141 
  9142 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9143 long arrows);
  9144 
  9145 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9146 
  9147 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9148 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9149 
  9150 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9151 mode and goal output format:
  9152 
  9153 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9154 244c244
  9155 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9156 ---
  9157 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9158 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9159 181c181
  9160 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9161 ---
  9162 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9163 
  9164 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9165 
  9166 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9167 
  9168 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9169 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9170 result still apply;
  9171 
  9172 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9173 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9174 
  9175 
  9176 *** HOL ***
  9177 
  9178 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9179 
  9180 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9181 int:
  9182 
  9183 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9184 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9185 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9186 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9187 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9188 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9189 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9190 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9191 
  9192 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9193 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9194 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9195 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9196 simplifier.
  9197 
  9198 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9199 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9200 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9201 
  9202 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9203 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9204 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9205 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9206 type constraints;
  9207 
  9208 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9209 arguments;
  9210 
  9211 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9212 are now available;
  9213 
  9214 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9215 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9216 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9217 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9218 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9219   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9220 
  9221 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9222 
  9223 
  9224 ** HOL misc **
  9225 
  9226 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9227 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9228 
  9229 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9230 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9231 
  9232 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9233 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9234 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9235 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9236 
  9237 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9238   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9239   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9240   "mono" attribute);
  9241 
  9242 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9243   (using function types) such as
  9244 
  9245   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9246 
  9247 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9248 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9249 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9250 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9251 
  9252   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9253   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9254 
  9255 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9256 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9257 
  9258 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9259 names rather than an ML expression;
  9260 
  9261 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9262 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9263     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9264 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9265 
  9266 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9267 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9268 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9269 
  9270 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9271 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9272 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9273 
  9274 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9275 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9276 
  9277 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9278 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9279 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9280 
  9281 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9282 
  9283 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9284 thus available for user theories;
  9285 
  9286 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9287 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9288 time;
  9289 
  9290 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9291 several times and then mp;
  9292 
  9293 
  9294 *** LK ***
  9295 
  9296 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9297 formulas;
  9298 
  9299 * the simplifier is now installed
  9300 
  9301 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9302 
  9303 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9304 
  9305 
  9306 *** ZF ***
  9307 
  9308 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9309 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9310 
  9311 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9312 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9313 
  9314 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9315 
  9316 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9317 constructors;
  9318 
  9319 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9320 type-checking rules;
  9321 
  9322 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9323 to the claset;
  9324 
  9325 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9326 if(P,x,y);
  9327 
  9328 
  9329 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9330 
  9331 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9332 
  9333 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9334 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9335 
  9336 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9337 
  9338 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9339 printing empty lines;
  9340 
  9341 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9342 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9343 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9344 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9345 
  9346 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9347 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9348 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9349 
  9350 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9351 now of type real instead of int;
  9352 
  9353 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9354 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9355 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9356 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9357 
  9358 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9359 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9360 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9361 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9362 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9363 
  9364 
  9365 
  9366 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9367 ----------------------------------
  9368 
  9369 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9370 
  9371 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9372 
  9373 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9374 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9375 
  9376 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9377 called `inj_on';
  9378 
  9379 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9380   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9381   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9382 
  9383 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9384 required);
  9385 
  9386 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9387 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9388 now taken as an integer constant.
  9389 
  9390 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9391 
  9392 
  9393 *** Proof tools ***
  9394 
  9395 * Simplifier:
  9396   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9397      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9398         simplify.
  9399      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9400         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9401      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9402      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9403   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9404 
  9405 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9406 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9407 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9408 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9409 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9410 one (emitting a warning).
  9411   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9412   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9413   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9414   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9415   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9416 
  9417 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9418 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9419 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9420 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9421 by Force_tac;
  9422 
  9423 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9424 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9425 
  9426 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9427 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9428 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9429 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9430 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9431 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9432 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9433 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9434 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9435 
  9436 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9437 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9438 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9439 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9440 
  9441 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9442 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9443 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9444 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9445 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9446 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9447 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9448 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9449 t is the name of the datatype).
  9450 
  9451 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9452 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9453 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9454 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9455 
  9456 
  9457 *** General ***
  9458 
  9459 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9460 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9461 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9462 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9463 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9464 (backup your sources first!);
  9465 
  9466 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9467 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9468 
  9469 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9470 definitions that have local scope;
  9471 
  9472 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9473 
  9474 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9475 (e.g. package initialization);
  9476 
  9477 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9478 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9479 
  9480 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9481 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9482 
  9483 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9484 
  9485 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9486 
  9487 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9488 
  9489 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9490 
  9491 
  9492 *** HOL ***
  9493 
  9494 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9495 
  9496 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9497 definitions such as
  9498 
  9499   inductive EVEN ODD
  9500     intrs
  9501       null "0 : EVEN"
  9502       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9503       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9504 
  9505 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9506 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9507 correctly (also ZF);
  9508 
  9509 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9510 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9511 contained in "induct";
  9512 
  9513 
  9514 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9515 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9516 
  9517   datatype
  9518     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9519             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9520             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9521             | NUM 'a
  9522   and
  9523     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9524             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9525             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9526 
  9527 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9528 
  9529   datatype
  9530     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9531                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9532 
  9533 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9534 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9535 
  9536 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9537 <function_name>.simps.
  9538 
  9539 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9540 
  9541   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9542     ancestor.
  9543   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9544     generic induct_tac instead.
  9545   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9546     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9547     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9548     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9549   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9550     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9551   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9552     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9553     sort constraints.
  9554   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9555     of recursive argument.
  9556 
  9557 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9558 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9559 
  9560 
  9561 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9562 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9563 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9564 support is as follows:
  9565 
  9566   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9567 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9568 
  9569   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9570 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9571 
  9572   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9573 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9574 
  9575 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9576 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9577 the name of your record type.
  9578 
  9579 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9580 
  9581   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9582 
  9583 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9584 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9585 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9586 solve record problems automatically.
  9587 
  9588 
  9589 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9590 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9591 
  9592 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9593 
  9594 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9595 
  9596 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9597 
  9598 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9599 
  9600 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9601 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9602 with add/delsplits);
  9603 
  9604 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9605 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9606 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9607 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9608 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9609 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9610 %u.f();
  9611 
  9612 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9613 makes more sense);
  9614 
  9615 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9616   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9617   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9618 
  9619 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9620 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9621 literature);
  9622 
  9623 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9624 the well-founded relation;
  9625 
  9626 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9627     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
  9628     release ONLY.
  9629 
  9630 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
  9631     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
  9632 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9633 
  9634 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
  9635 
  9636 * HOL/List:
  9637   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
  9638     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
  9639   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
  9640     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
  9641     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
  9642   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
  9643 
  9644 * HOL/Arith:
  9645   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
  9646   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
  9647   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
  9648   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
  9649 
  9650 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
  9651 instead of "inverse";
  9652 
  9653 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
  9654   of the multiset ordering;
  9655 
  9656 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
  9657   (not included by default);
  9658 
  9659 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
  9660 
  9661 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
  9662   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
  9663 
  9664 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9665   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9666   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9667 
  9668 
  9669 *** ZF ***
  9670 
  9671 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
  9672   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
  9673 
  9674 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9675   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9676   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9677 
  9678 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
  9679     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
  9680   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9681 
  9682 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
  9683 
  9684 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9685   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9686   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9687 
  9688 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
  9689     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
  9690 
  9691 
  9692 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9693 
  9694 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
  9695 also src/Pure/README;
  9696 
  9697 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
  9698 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
  9699 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
  9700 print_data function becomes basically useless;
  9701 
  9702 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
  9703 are qualified by default;
  9704 
  9705 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
  9706 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
  9707 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
  9708 
  9709 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
  9710 cterm -> thm;
  9711 
  9712 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
  9713 subgoal;
  9714 
  9715 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
  9716 
  9717 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
  9718 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
  9719 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
  9720 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
  9721 for example;
  9722 
  9723 
  9724 
  9725 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
  9726 --------------------------------
  9727 
  9728 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9729 
  9730 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
  9731 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
  9732 
  9733 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
  9734 simpset / simpset_ref;
  9735 
  9736 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
  9737 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
  9738 
  9739 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
  9740 
  9741 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
  9742 
  9743 
  9744 *** General Changes ***
  9745 
  9746 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
  9747 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
  9748 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
  9749 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
  9750 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
  9751 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
  9752 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
  9753 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
  9754 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
  9755 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
  9756 section;
  9757 
  9758 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
  9759 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
  9760 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
  9761 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
  9762 to patch your ML files accordingly;
  9763 
  9764 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
  9765 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
  9766 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
  9767 
  9768 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
  9769 conditional equations;
  9770 
  9771 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
  9772 
  9773 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
  9774 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
  9775 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
  9776 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
  9777 
  9778 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
  9779 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
  9780 
  9781 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
  9782 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
  9783 
  9784 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
  9785 show_types);
  9786 
  9787 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
  9788 
  9789 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
  9790 
  9791 * removed old README and Makefiles;
  9792 
  9793 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
  9794 
  9795 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
  9796 
  9797 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
  9798     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
  9799 
  9800 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
  9801 (which abbreviates $HOME);
  9802 
  9803 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
  9804 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
  9805 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
  9806 
  9807 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
  9808 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
  9809 
  9810 
  9811 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9812 
  9813 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
  9814 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
  9815 splitting it into several subgoals;
  9816 
  9817 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
  9818 
  9819 
  9820 *** Simplifier ***
  9821 
  9822 * added simplification meta rules:
  9823     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
  9824 
  9825 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
  9826 logics (again);
  9827 
  9828 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
  9829 
  9830 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
  9831   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
  9832   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
  9833 
  9834 
  9835 *** Syntax ***
  9836 
  9837 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
  9838 
  9839 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
  9840 
  9841 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
  9842 
  9843 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
  9844 
  9845 
  9846 *** HOL ***
  9847 
  9848 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9849   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9850 
  9851 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
  9852 
  9853 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
  9854   protocol TLS;
  9855 
  9856 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
  9857 
  9858 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
  9859 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
  9860 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
  9861 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
  9862 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
  9863 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
  9864 
  9865 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
  9866   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
  9867   are rewritten to
  9868   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
  9869   and those of the form
  9870   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
  9871   are rewritten to
  9872   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
  9873 
  9874 * HOL/datatype
  9875   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
  9876 
  9877   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9878      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
  9879         ...
  9880        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9881      )
  9882 
  9883   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
  9884 
  9885   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9886     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
  9887         ...
  9888        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9889      )
  9890   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
  9891   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
  9892   split_list_case and split_option_case.
  9893 
  9894 * HOL/Arithmetic:
  9895   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
  9896     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
  9897     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
  9898   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
  9899     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
  9900     `standard'.
  9901 
  9902 * HOL/Lists:
  9903   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
  9904   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
  9905   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
  9906 
  9907 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
  9908 
  9909 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
  9910   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
  9911 
  9912 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
  9913 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
  9914 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
  9915 
  9916 
  9917 *** HOLCF ***
  9918 
  9919 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
  9920 
  9921 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
  9922   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
  9923 
  9924 * domain package:
  9925   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
  9926   . creates hierachical name space,
  9927   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
  9928   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
  9929   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
  9930   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
  9931   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
  9932     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
  9933 
  9934 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
  9935 
  9936 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
  9937 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
  9938 
  9939 
  9940 *** FOL and ZF ***
  9941 
  9942 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9943   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9944 
  9945 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
  9946 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
  9947 
  9948 
  9949 
  9950 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
  9951 ------------------------------
  9952 
  9953 *** General Changes ***
  9954 
  9955 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
  9956 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
  9957 
  9958 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
  9959 
  9960 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
  9961 
  9962 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
  9963 messages and clean internal interface;
  9964 
  9965 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
  9966 setting goals_limit);
  9967 
  9968 
  9969 *** Syntax ***
  9970 
  9971 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
  9972 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
  9973 
  9974 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
  9975 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
  9976 "symbols" syntax table;
  9977 
  9978 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
  9979 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
  9980 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
  9981 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
  9982 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
  9983 
  9984 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
  9985 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
  9986 version of xterm);
  9987 
  9988 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
  9989 
  9990 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
  9991 access type of constant);
  9992 
  9993 
  9994 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9995 
  9996 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
  9997 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
  9998   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
  9999   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10000         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10001   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10002   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10003     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10004   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10005 
 10006 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10007 assumptions;
 10008 
 10009 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10010 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10011 (and access functions for it);
 10012 
 10013 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10014   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10015   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10016     safe steps.
 10017   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10018     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10019     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10020 
 10021 *** Simplifier ***
 10022 
 10023 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10024 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10025 redex);
 10026 
 10027 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10028 
 10029 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10030 
 10031 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10032 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10033 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10034 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10035 
 10036 
 10037 *** HOL ***
 10038 
 10039 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10040 also for type `nat';
 10041 
 10042 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10043 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10044 
 10045 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10046 
 10047 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10048 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10049 
 10050 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10051 
 10052 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10053 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10054 
 10055 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10056 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10057 
 10058 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10059 infinite lists;
 10060 
 10061 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10062 
 10063 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10064 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10065 
 10066 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10067 
 10068 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10069 
 10070 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10071 
 10072 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10073 
 10074 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10075   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10076   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10077   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10078   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10079   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10080   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10081   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10082   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10083 
 10084 
 10085 *** ZF ***
 10086 
 10087 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10088 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10089 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10090 
 10091 
 10092 
 10093 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10094 ---------------------------------
 10095 
 10096 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10097 
 10098 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10099 
 10100 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10101 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10102 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10103 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10104 
 10105 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10106 
 10107 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10108 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10109 
 10110 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10111 
 10112 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10113 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10114 
 10115 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10116 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10117 
 10118 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10119 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10120 
 10121 
 10122 
 10123 New in Isabelle94-6
 10124 -------------------
 10125 
 10126 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10127 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10128 
 10129 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10130 
 10131 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10132 
 10133 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10134 
 10135 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10136 
 10137 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10138

 10140 
 10141 New in Isabelle94-5
 10142 -------------------
 10143 
 10144 * reduced space requirements;
 10145 
 10146 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10147 
 10148 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10149 
 10150 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10151 
 10152 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10153 
 10154 
 10155 
 10156 New in Isabelle94-4
 10157 -------------------
 10158 
 10159 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10160 
 10161 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10162 
 10163 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10164 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10165 
 10166 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10167 Axiom of Choice;
 10168 
 10169 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10170 
 10171 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10172 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10173 
 10174 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10175 
 10176 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10177 translates to the operator "split";
 10178 
 10179 
 10180 
 10181 New in Isabelle94-3
 10182 -------------------
 10183 
 10184 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10185 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10186         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10187 
 10188 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10189 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10190 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10191 
 10192 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10193 
 10194 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10195 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10196 
 10197 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10198 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10199 
 10200 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10201 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10202 
 10203 
 10204 
 10205 New in Isabelle94-2
 10206 -------------------
 10207 
 10208 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10209 
 10210 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10211 freely;
 10212 
 10213 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10214 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10215 
 10216 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10217 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10218 (theory_of_thm);
 10219 
 10220 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10221 
 10222 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10223 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10224 
 10225 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10226 have been removed;
 10227 
 10228 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10229 
 10230 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10231 
 10232 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10233 types;
