     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
     5 -------------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
     8 
     9 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
    10 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
    11 
    12 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
    13 after edits surrounding the command location.
    14 
    15 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
    16 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
    17 e.g. out-of-memory).
    18 
    19 
    20 *** System ***
    21 
    22 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
    23 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
    24 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
    25 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
    26 
    27 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
    28 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
    29 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
    30 
    31 
    32 
    33 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
    34 -------------------------------------
    35 
    36 *** General ***
    37 
    38 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    39 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    40 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    41 
    42 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    43 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    44 
    45 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    46 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    47 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    48 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    49 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    50 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    51 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    52 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    53 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    54 syntax.
    55 
    56 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    57 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    58 
    59 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    60 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    61 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    62 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    63 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    64 
    65 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    66 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    67 
    68 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    69 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    70 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    71 
    72 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    73 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    74 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    75 
    76 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    77 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    78 
    79 
    80 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    81 
    82 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
    83 Documentation panel.
    84 
    85 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    86 documentation.
    87 
    88 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    89 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    90 
    91 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    92 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    93 normal editing and checking process.
    94 
    95 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    96 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
    97 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
    98 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
    99 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
   100 
   101 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   102 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   103 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   104 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   105 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   106 
   107 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   108 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   109 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   110 
   111 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   112 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   113 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   114 to resolve conflict.
   115 
   116 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   117 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   118 
   119 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   120 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   121 such command executions while editing.
   122 
   123 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   124 document content.
   125 
   126 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   127 toplevel theorem statements.
   128 
   129 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   130 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   131 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   132 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   133 
   134 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   135 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   136 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   137 
   138 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   139 / Global Options / Appearance".
   140 
   141 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   142 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   143 
   144 
   145 *** Pure ***
   146 
   147 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   148 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   149 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   150 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   151 details.
   152 
   153 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   154 
   155 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   156 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   157 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   158 
   159 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   160 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   161 
   162 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   163 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   164 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   165 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   166 
   167 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   168 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   169 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   170 
   171 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   172 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   173 
   174 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   175 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   176 situations.
   177 
   178 
   179 *** HOL ***
   180 
   181 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   182 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   183 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   184 
   185 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   186 
   187 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   188 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   189 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   190 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   191 
   192   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   193 
   194 * Code generator:
   195   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   196     'code_instance'.
   197   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   198     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   199 
   200 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   201 examples.
   202 
   203 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   204 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   205 to distinguish both when desired.
   206 
   207 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   208 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   209 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   210 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   211 
   212 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   213 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   214 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   215 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   216 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   217 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   218 
   219 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   220 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   221 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   222 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   223 
   224 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   225 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   226 
   227 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   228 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   229 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   230 
   231 * Lifting:
   232   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   233     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
   234       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   235       transfer rules
   236     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   237       correspondence relation can be generated
   238     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   239       parametricity
   240     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   241   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   242   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   243     copies
   244   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   245     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   246     anonymous context)
   247   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
   248     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   249   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   250     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   251   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
   252     INCOMPATIBILITY
   253 
   254 * Transfer:
   255   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
   256     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   257   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   258   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   259     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   260   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   261 
   262 * Reification and reflection:
   263   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   264     "Reification".
   265   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   266   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   268 
   269 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   270   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   271     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   272     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   273   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   274     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   275   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   276     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   277     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   278     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   279     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   280     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   281     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   282     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   283   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   284     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   285   - Fact renames:
   286       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   287       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   288 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   289 
   290 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   291 
   292 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   293 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   294 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   295 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   296 
   297 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   298 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   299 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   300 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   301 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   302 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   303 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   304 lemmas.
   305 
   306 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   307 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   308 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   309 
   310 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   311 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   312 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   313 
   314 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   315 top and bottom elements.
   316 
   317 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   318 
   319 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   320 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   321 
   322  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   323    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   324    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   325 
   326  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   327    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   328    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   329 
   330    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   331    arbitrary filter.
   332 
   333  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   334    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   335    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   336    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   337    on a compact set.
   338 
   339  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   340    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   341    linear_continuum_topology).
   342 
   343  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   344    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   345    on all sequences converging to x.
   346 
   347  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   348    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   349    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   350    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   351    left or right.
   352 
   353  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   354 
   355      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   356 
   357  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   358    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   359 
   360  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   361    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   362    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   363    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   364    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   365    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   366 
   367  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   368 
   369    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   370 
   371    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   372      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   373 
   374    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   375 
   376    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   377      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   378 
   379    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   380 
   381    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   382 
   383  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   384 
   385 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   386 
   387 * Nitpick:
   388   - Added option "spy"
   389   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   390 
   391 * Sledgehammer:
   392   - Renamed option:
   393       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   394     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   395   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   396   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   397   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   398 
   399 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   400 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   401 
   402 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   403   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   404   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   405     generated code.
   406   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   407   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   408   - Fact renames:
   409     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   410     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   411     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   412 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   413 
   414 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   415 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   416 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   417 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   418 
   419 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   420 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   421 
   422 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   423 
   424 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   425 
   426     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   427     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   428 
   429 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   430 
   431 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   432 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   433 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   434 
   435 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   436 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   437 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   438 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   439 
   440 * HOL-BNF:
   441   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   442     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   443     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   444     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   445   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   446     coinduct).
   447   - Renamed keywords:
   448     data ~> datatype_new
   449     codata ~> codatatype
   450     bnf_def ~> bnf
   451   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   452     discs ~> disc
   453     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   454     map_id' ~> map_id
   455     sels ~> sel
   456     set_map' ~> set_map
   457     sets ~> set
   458 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   459 
   460 
   461 *** ML ***
   462 
   463 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   464 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   465 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   466 Examples.thy in particular.
   467 
   468 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   469 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   470 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   471 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   472 
   473 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   474 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   475 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   476 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   477 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   478 
   479 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   480 
   481     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   482     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   483 
   484 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   485 
   486 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   487 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   488 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   489 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   490 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   491 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   492 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   493 
   494 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   495 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   496 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   497 clasets separately from the context.
   498 
   499 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   500 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   501 
   502 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   503 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   504 
   505 
   506 *** System ***
   507 
   508 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   509 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   510 
   511 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   512 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   513 
   514 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   515 settings variable.
   516 
   517 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   518 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   519 always pdf.
   520 
   521 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   522 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   523 
   524 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   525 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   526 
   527 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   528 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   529 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   530 
   531 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   532 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   533 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   534 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   535 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   536 for HTML presentation of theories.
   537 
   538 
   539 
   540 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   541 -----------------------------------
   542 
   543 *** General ***
   544 
   545 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   546 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   547 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   548 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   549 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   550 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   551 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   552 
   553 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   554 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   555 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   556 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   557 
   558 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   559 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   560 
   561 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   562 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   563 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   564 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   565 dependencies properly.
   566 
   567 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   568 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   569 
   570 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   571 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   572 
   573 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   574 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   575 and "class ... context ...".
   576 
   577 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   578 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   579 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   580 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   581 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   582 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   583 
   584 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   585 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   586 
   587 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   588 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   589 
   590 
   591 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   592 
   593 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   594 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   595 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   596 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   597 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   598 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   599 
   600 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   601 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   602 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   603 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   604 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   605 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   606 
   607 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   608 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   609 browser on demand.
   610 
   611 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   612 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   613 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   614 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   615 
   616 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   617 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   618 
   619 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   620 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   621 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   622 potentially infinite message streams.
   623 
   624 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   625 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   626 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   627 schemes.
   628 
   629 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   630 symbols.
   631 
   632 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   633 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   634 
   635 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   636 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   637 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   638 
   639 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   640 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   641 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   642 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   643 
   644 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   645 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   646 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   647 
   648 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   649 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   650 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   651 Isabelle distribution.
   652 
   653 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   654 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   655 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   656 
   657 
   658 *** Pure ***
   659 
   660 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   661 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   662 
   663 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   664 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   665 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   666 
   667 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   668 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   669 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   670 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   671 with some care where this is really required.
   672 
   673 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   674 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   675 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   676 
   677   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   678 
   679 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   680 a Hasse diagram.
   681 
   682 
   683 *** HOL ***
   684 
   685 * Sledgehammer:
   686 
   687   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   688     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   689   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   690   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   691   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   692   - Renamed options:
   693       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   694       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   695       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   696       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   697 
   698 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   699 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   700 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   701 
   702 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   703 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   704 
   705 * Lifting:
   706   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   707   - quot_del attribute
   708   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   709 
   710 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   711 expressions.
   712 
   713 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   714 pointfree expressions.
   715 
   716 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   717 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   718 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   719 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   720 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   721 
   722 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   723 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   724 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   725 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   726 accordingly.
   727 
   728 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   729 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   730 
   731 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   732 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   733 
   734 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   735 
   736 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   737 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   738 
   739 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   740 
   741 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   742 
   743   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   744   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   745 
   746 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   747 
   748 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   749 
   750   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   751   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   752 
   753 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   754 
   755 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   756 
   757   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   758     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   759     output f x converges to G.
   760 
   761   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   762     infinity (at_bot).
   763 
   764   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   765     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   766 
   767   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   768     at_top".
   769 
   770 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   771 
   772 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   773 lattice type classes.
   774 
   775 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   776 
   777     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   778     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   779 
   780 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   781 
   782 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   783 changes as follows.
   784 
   785   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   786 
   787       prefix ~> prefixeq
   788       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   789 
   790   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   791     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   792     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   793     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   794 
   795   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   796     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   797     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   798 
   799   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   800     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   801     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   802     Library/Prefix_Order.
   803 
   804   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   805     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   806 
   807       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   808       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   809       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   810       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   811       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   812       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   813       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   814       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   815       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   816       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   817       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   818       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   819       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   820       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   821       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   822       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   823 
   824 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   825 
   826 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   827 
   828 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   829 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   830 
   831 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   832 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   833 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   834 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   835 
   836   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   837   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   838   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   839   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   840   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   841   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   842   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   843   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   844   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   845   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   846 
   847 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   848 
   849 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   850 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   851 Data").
   852 
   853 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   854 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   855 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   856 code.
   857 
   858 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   859 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   860 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   861 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   862 
   863 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   864 
   865 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   866 
   867 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   868 
   869   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   870   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   871 
   872 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   873 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   874 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   875 
   876   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   877 
   878     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   879     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   880     cart_base i  removed
   881     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   882 
   883   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   884 
   885   Renamed lemmas:
   886 
   887     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   888     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   889     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   890     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps

   895     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   896     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   897 
   898 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   899 
   900 * HOL/Probability:
   901 
   902   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   903 
   904   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   905     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   906     (borel_measurable_induct).
   907 
   908   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   909     projective family).
   910 
   911 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   912 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   913 
   914 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   915 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   916 datatypes.
   917 
   918 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   919 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   920 
   921 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   922 trees for the code generator.
   923 
   924 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   925 Lifting/Transfer.
   926 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   927 
   928 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   929 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   930 
   931 
   932 *** Document preparation ***
   933 
   934 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   935 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   936 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   937 
   938 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   939 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   940 
   941 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   942 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   943 document/root.tex.
   944 
   945 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   946 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   947 
   948 
   949 *** ML ***
   950 
   951 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   952 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   953 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   954 
   955 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   956 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   957 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   958 
   959 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   960 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   961 necessarily printing visible text.
   962 
   963 
   964 *** System ***
   965 
   966 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   967 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   968 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   969 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   970 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   971 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   972 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   973 
   974 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   975 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   976 
   977   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   978 
   979 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   980 
   981 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   982 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   983 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   984 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   985 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   986 
   987 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   988 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   989 
   990 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   991 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   992 
   993 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   994 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   995 
   996 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   997 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   998 version of Isabelle.
   999 
  1000 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1001 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1002 
  1003 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1004 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1005 for home-made settings.
  1006 
  1007 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1008 
  1009 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1010 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1011 configuration.
  1012 
  1013 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1014 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1015 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1016 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1017 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1018 
  1019 
  1020 
  1021 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1022 ------------------------------
  1023 
  1024 *** General ***
  1025 
  1026 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1027 
  1028   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1029     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1030   - markup for bound variables
  1031   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1032   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1033   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1034     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1035 
  1036 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1037 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1038 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1039 
  1040 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1041 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1042 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1043 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1044 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1045 
  1046   context
  1047     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1048     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1049   begin
  1050 
  1051   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1052 
  1053   end
  1054 
  1055   thm my_trans
  1056 
  1057 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1058 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1059 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1060 
  1061 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1062 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1063 
  1064 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1065 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1066 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1067 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1068 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1069 
  1070 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1071 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1072 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1073 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1074 indices of schematic variables.
  1075 
  1076 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1077 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1078 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1079 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1080 etc. was exploited.
  1081 
  1082 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1083 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1084 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1085 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1086 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1087 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1088 
  1089 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1090 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1091 manual.
  1092 
  1093 
  1094 *** Pure ***
  1095 
  1096 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1097 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1098 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1099 
  1100 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1101 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1102 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1103 undocumented feature.)
  1104 
  1105 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1106 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1107 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1108 
  1109   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1110 
  1111   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1112     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1113 
  1114 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1115 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1116 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1117 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1118 
  1119 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1120 
  1121     num ~> num_token
  1122     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1123     xstr ~> str_token
  1124 
  1125 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1126 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1127 position information via constraints).
  1128 
  1129 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1130 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1131 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1132 
  1133 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1134 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1135 
  1136 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1137 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1138 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1139 
  1140 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1141 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1142 
  1143 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1144 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1145 
  1146   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1147 
  1148 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1149 
  1150 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1151 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1152 
  1153 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1154 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1155 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1156 
  1157 
  1158 *** HOL ***
  1159 
  1160 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1161 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1162 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1163 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1164 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1165 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1166 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1167 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1168 possible.
  1169 
  1170 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1171 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1172 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1173 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1174 
  1175 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1176 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1177 
  1178 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1179 
  1180 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1181 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1182 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1183 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1184 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1185 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1186 
  1187   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1188     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1189 
  1190   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1191     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1192     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1193 
  1194   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1195     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1196 
  1197   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1198     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1199     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1200 
  1201   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1202     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1203 
  1204 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1205 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1206 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1207 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1208 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1209 
  1210   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1211     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1212     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1213     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1214     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1215 
  1216     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1217     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1218 
  1219   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1220     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1221     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1222     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1223     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1224     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1225     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1226     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1227 
  1228   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1229     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1230     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1231     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1232 
  1233   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1234     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1235     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1236     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1237 
  1238   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1239     from type nat to type int.
  1240 
  1241 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1242 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1243 
  1244   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1245     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1246     type.  Example syntax:
  1247 
  1248     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1249       is List.insert
  1250 
  1251     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1252     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1253     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1254     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1255     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1256     by the package.
  1257 
  1258   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1259     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1260     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1261     code generation for each constant.
  1262 
  1263   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1264     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1265     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1266     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1267     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1268 
  1269   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1270     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1271     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1272 
  1273 * Quotient package:
  1274 
  1275   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1276     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1277 
  1278   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1279     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1280 
  1281   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1282     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1283     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1284 
  1285   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1286     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1287 
  1288 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1289 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1290 
  1291 * Quickcheck:
  1292 
  1293   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1294     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1295     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1296     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1297     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1298 
  1299     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1300     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1301     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1302 
  1303     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1304     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1305 
  1306     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1307     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1308     show genuine counterexamples.
  1309 
  1310   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1311     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1312 
  1313     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1314     constructors of that type.
  1315 
  1316   - Support for multisets.
  1317 
  1318   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1319 
  1320   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1321     conjectures in a locale context.
  1322 
  1323 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1324 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1325 
  1326 * Sledgehammer:
  1327   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1328     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1329   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1330   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1331     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1332   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1333   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1334   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1335   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1336 
  1337 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1338 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1339 
  1340 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1341 
  1342 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1343 
  1344 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1345 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1346 
  1347   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1348 
  1349 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1350 a list and a nat.
  1351 
  1352 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1353 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1354 
  1355 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1356 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1357 default.
  1358 
  1359 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1360 
  1361   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1362 
  1363 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1364 
  1365 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1366 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1367 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1368 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1369 one_case.
  1370 
  1371 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1372 the result of the fact expression.
  1373 
  1374 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1375 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1376 of some relation theorems:
  1377 
  1378   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1379   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1380   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1381   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1382   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1383   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1384 
  1385 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1386 
  1387 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1388 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".

  1390 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1391 
  1392 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow

  1770 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1771 association lists with distinct keys.
  1772 
  1773 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1774 annotated commands.
  1775 
  1776 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1777 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1778 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1779 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1780 
  1781 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1782 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1783 instead.

  1827 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1828 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1829 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1830 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1831 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1832 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1833 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1834 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1835 
  1836 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1837 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1838 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1839 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1840 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1841 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1842 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1843 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1844 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1845 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1846 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1847 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1873   image_space
  1874   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  2009 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2010 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2011 
  2012 
  2013 *** FOL ***
  2014 
  2015 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2016 
  2017 
  2018 *** ZF ***
  2019 
  2020 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2021 analysis.
  2022 
  2023 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2024 
  2025 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2026 
  2027 
  2028 *** ML ***
  2029 
  2030 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2031 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2032 
  2033 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2034 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2035 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2036 
  2037 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2038 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2039 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2040 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2041 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2042 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2043 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2044 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2045 
  2046 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2047 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2048 
  2049 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2050 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2051 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2052 
  2053 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2054 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2055 
  2056 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2057 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2058 context as well.
  2059 
  2060 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2061 
  2062   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong

  2076 *** System ***
  2077 
  2078 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2079 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2080 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2081 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2082 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2083 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2084 the generic user home was intended.
  2085 
  2086 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2087 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2088 
  2089 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2090 (not just JRE).

  2094 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2095 ------------------------------------
  2096 
  2097 *** General ***
  2098 
  2099 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2100 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2101 
  2102   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2103     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2104     files for checking).
  2105 
  2106   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2107     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2108     positions.
  2109 
  2110   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2111     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2112     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2113 
  2114   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2115     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2116     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2117 
  2118   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2119     cores.
  2120 
  2121   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2122     versions (garbage collection).
  2123 
  2124 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2125 including some remaining limitations.
  2126 
  2127 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2128 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2129 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2130 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2131 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2132 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2133 
  2134 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2135 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2136 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2137 
  2138 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2139 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2140 usedir option -Q.
  2141 
  2142 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2143 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2144 
  2145   long_names   ~> names_long
  2146   short_names  ~> names_short
  2147   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2148 
  2149 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2150 
  2151   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2152 
  2153 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2154 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2155 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2156 
  2157 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2158 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2159 
  2160 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2161   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2162   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2163   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2164     "Classical Reasoner".
  2165 
  2166 
  2167 *** HOL ***
  2168 
  2169 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2170 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2171 
  2172 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2173 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2174 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2175 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2176 class complete_linorder.
  2177 
  2178 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2179 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2180 
  2181 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2182 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2183 
  2184   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2185   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2186   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2187   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2188   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2189   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2190   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2191   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2192   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2193   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2194   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2195 
  2196 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2197 
  2198   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2199   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2200   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2201   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2202   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2203   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2204   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2205   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2206   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2207   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2208   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2209   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2210   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2211   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2212   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2213   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2214 
  2215 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2216 
  2217 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2218 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2219 
  2220 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2221 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2222 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2223 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2224 
  2225 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2226 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2227 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2228 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2229 
  2230 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2231 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2232 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2233 
  2234 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2235 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2236 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2237 
  2238 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2239 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2240 
  2241 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2242 
  2243     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2244     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2245 
  2246 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2247 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2248 
  2249 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2250 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2251 
  2252 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2253 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2254 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2255 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2263   mult_left.diff ~> left_diff_distrib
  2264 
  2265 * Theory Complex_Main: Several redundant theorems have been removed or
  2266 replaced by more general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2350 
  2351 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2352 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2353 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2354 
  2355 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2356 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2357 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2358 
  2359 * Code generation:
  2360 
  2361   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2362     characters in the target language.
  2363 
  2364   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2365     instead.
  2366 
  2367   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2368 
  2369   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2370     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2371 
  2372       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2373 
  2374 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2375 
  2376 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2377 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2378 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2379 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2380 syntax.
  2381 
  2382 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2383 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2384 
  2385 * Nitpick:
  2386   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2387   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2388   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2389     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2390 
  2391 * Sledgehammer:
  2392   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2393   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2394     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2395   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2396     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2397   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2398     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2399   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2400     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2401   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2402     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2403 
  2404 * Metis:
  2405   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2406   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2407     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2408 
  2409 * Command 'try':
  2410   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2411     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2412   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2413     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2414 
  2415 * Quickcheck:
  2416   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2417     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2418   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2419     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2420   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2421     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2422     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2423     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2424   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2425     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2426 
  2427 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2428 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2429 
  2430 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2431 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2432 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2433 
  2434 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2435 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2436 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2437 
  2438 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2439 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2440 
  2441 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2442 arithmetic.
  2443 
  2444 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2445 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2446 and lattice type classes.
  2447 
  2448 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2449 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2450 
  2451 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2452 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2453 
  2454 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2455 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2456 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2457 
  2458   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2459   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2460   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2461   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2462 
  2463 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2464 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2465 constants:
  2466 
  2467   type inat   ~> type enat
  2468   Fin         ~> enat
  2469   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2470   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2471   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2472 
  2473 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2474 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2475 
  2476 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2477 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2478 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2479 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2480 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2481 
  2482 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2483 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2484 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2485 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2486 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2487 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2488 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2489 
  2490   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2491   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2492   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2493   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2494 
  2495 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2496 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2497 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2553   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2554   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2555   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2556     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2587 *** Document preparation ***
  2588 
  2589 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2590 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2591 same.
  2592 
  2593 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2594 result.
  2595 
  2596 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2597 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2598 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2599 
  2600 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2601 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2602 
  2603 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2604 like this:
  2605 
  2606   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2607   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2608 
  2609 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2610 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2611 layouts.
  2612 
  2613 
  2614 *** ML ***
  2615 
  2616 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2617 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2618 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2619 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2620 under external program control.
  2621 
  2622 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2623 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2624 
  2625 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2626 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2627 (better known as Proof General).
  2628 
  2629 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2630 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2631 
  2632 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2633 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2634 
  2635 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2636 (including quotes etc.).
  2637 
  2638 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2639 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2640 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2641 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2642 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2643 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2644 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2645 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2646 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2647 
  2648 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2649 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2650 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2651 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2652 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2653 
  2654 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2655 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2656 
  2657 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2658 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2659 
  2660 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2661 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2662 
  2663 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2664 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2665 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2666 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2667 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2668 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2669 proper Proof.context.
  2670 
  2671 
  2672 *** System ***
  2673 
  2674 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2675 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2676 
  2677 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2678 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2679 
  2680 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2681 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2682 
  2683   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2684   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2685   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2686   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2687   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2688 
  2689 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2690 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2691 
  2692 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2693 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2694 example:
  2695 
  2696   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2697 
  2698 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2699 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2700 
  2701 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2702 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2703 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2704 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2705 
  2706 
  2707 
  2708 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2709 ----------------------------------
  2710 
  2711 *** General ***
  2712 
  2713 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2714 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2715 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2716 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2717 like this:
  2718 
  2719   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2720 
  2721 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2722 
  2723 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2724 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2725 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2726 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2727 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2728 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2729 
  2730 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2731 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2732 the following package declarations:
  2733 
  2734   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2735   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2736 
  2737 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2738 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2739 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2740 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2741 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2742 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2743 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2744 
  2745 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2746 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2747 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2748 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2749 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2750 
  2751 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2752 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2753 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2754 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2755 
  2756 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2757 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2758 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2759 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2760 
  2761   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2777 
  2778   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2779 
  2780   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  2784   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2785 
  2786 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2787 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2788 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2789 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2790 
  2791 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2792 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2793 
  2794   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2795   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2796 
  2797 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2798 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2799 float_token.
  2800 
  2801 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2802 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2803 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2804 
  2805 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2806 DejaVu Sans.
  2807 
  2808 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2809 
  2810 
  2811 *** Pure ***
  2812 
  2813 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2814 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2815 time.
  2816 
  2817 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2818 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2819 
  2820 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2821 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2822 
  2823 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2824 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2825 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2826 command already provided this functionality.
  2827 
  2828 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2829 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2830 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2831 without interpretations.
  2832 
  2833 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2834 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2835 
  2836 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2837 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2838 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2839 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2840 
  2841 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2842 'definition' instead.
  2843 
  2844 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2845 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2846 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2847 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2848 
  2849 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2850 constructors.
  2851 
  2852 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2853 the local file system.
  2854 
  2855 
  2856 *** HOL ***
  2857 
  2858 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2859 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2860 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2861 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2862 
  2863   declare [[coercion f]]
  2864 
  2865 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2866 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2867 
  2868   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2869 
  2870 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2871 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2872 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2873 other theories like this:
  2874 
  2875   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2876 
  2877 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2878 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2879 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2880 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2881 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2882 for examples.
  2883 
  2884 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2885 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2886 
  2887 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2888 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2889 
  2890 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2891 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2892 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2893 
  2894 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2895 functorial structure of types.
  2896 
  2897 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2898 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2899 
  2900 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2901 languages.
  2902 
  2903 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2904 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2905 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2906 
  2907 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2908 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2909 
  2910 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2911 combinators any longer.
  2912 
  2913 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2914 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2915 
  2916 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2917 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2918 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2919 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2920 
  2921   record 'a foo = ...
  2922   ...
  2923   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2924 
  2925 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2926 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2927 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2928 
  2929 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2930 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2931 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2932 
  2933 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2934 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2935 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2936 
  2937 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2938 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2939 
  2940 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2941 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2942 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2943 independently.
  2944 
  2945 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2946 counter example search.
  2947 
  2948 * Sledgehammer:
  2949   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2950     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2951     sledgehammer").
  2952   - Renamed commands:
  2953     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2954     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2955     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2956     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2957   - Renamed options:
  2958     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2959     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2960     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2961     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2962     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2963 
  2964 * Nitpick:
  2965   - Renamed options:
  2966     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2967     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2968     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2969   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2970   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2971   - Added "whack" option.
  2972   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2973   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2974   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2975   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2976     higher cardinalities.
  2977   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2978 
  2979 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2980 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2981 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2982 
  2983     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2984 
  2985 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2986 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2987 
  2988 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2989 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2990 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2991 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2992 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2993 "smt_solver".
  2994 
  2995 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2996 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2997 
  2998 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2999 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3000 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3001 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3002 
  3003 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3004   - Renamed:
  3005     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3006     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3007     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3008   - Added:
  3009     smt_verbose
  3010     smt_random_seed
  3011     smt_datatypes
  3012     smt_infer_triggers
  3013     smt_monomorph_limit
  3014     cvc3_options
  3015     remote_cvc3_options
  3016     remote_z3_options
  3017     yices_options
  3018 
  3019 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3020 header.
  3021 
  3022 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3023 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3024 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3025 
  3026   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3027 
  3028 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3029 
  3030 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3031 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3032 
  3033 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3034 
  3035 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3036 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3037 
  3038 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3039 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3040 
  3041 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3042 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3043 
  3044 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3045 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3046 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3047 
  3048 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3049 
  3050 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3051 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3052 
  3053 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3054 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3055 
  3056 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3057 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3058 for congruent(2)).
  3059 
  3060 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3061 
  3062   types
  3063     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3064     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3065 
  3066   constants
  3067     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3068     True ~> HOL.True
  3069     False ~> HOL.False
  3070     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3071     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3072     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3073     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3074     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3075     The ~> HOL.The
  3076     All ~> HOL.All

  3083     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  3084     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3085     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3086     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3087     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3088     op : ~> Set.member
  3089     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3090 
  3091 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3092 
  3093 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3094 
  3095     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3096     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3097     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3098     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3099     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3100     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3101     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3102     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3103 
  3104 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3105 
  3106 * More stylized fact names:
  3107 
  3108   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3109   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3110   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3111   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3112 
  3113 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3114 
  3115 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3116 
  3117   constants
  3118     null ~> List.null
  3119 
  3120   facts
  3121     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3122     null_empty ~> null_def
  3123 
  3124 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3125 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3126 generation.
  3127 
  3128 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3129 Haskell code.
  3130 
  3131 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3132 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3133 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3134 
  3135 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3136 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3137 
  3138 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3139 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3140 
  3141 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3142 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3143 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3144 
  3145 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3146 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3147 
  3148 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3149 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3150 
  3151 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3152 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3153 referred to by its qualified name.
  3154 
  3155   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3156   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3157   product ~>  Enum.product
  3158 
  3159 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3160 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3161 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3162 
  3163 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3164 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3165 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3166 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3167 
  3168 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3169 sort_key.
  3170 
  3171 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3172 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3173 
  3174 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3175 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3176 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3177 
  3178   types
  3179     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3180               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3181               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3182         (depends on your needs)
  3183 
  3184   constants
  3185      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3186      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3187      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3188 
  3189 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3190 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3191 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3192 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3193 
  3194 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3195 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3196 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3197 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3198 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3199 
  3200 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3201 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3202 
  3203 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3204 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3205 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3206 
  3207 
  3208 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3209 
  3210 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3211 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3212 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3213 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3214 compatibility.
  3215 
  3216 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3217 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3218 
  3219 
  3220 *** HOLCF ***
  3221 
  3222 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3223 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3224 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3225 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3226 
  3227 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3228 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3229 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3230 
  3231   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3232   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3233   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3234 
  3235 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3236 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3237 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3238 
  3239 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3240 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3241 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3242 domain definition now works:
  3243 
  3244   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3245 
  3246 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3247 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3248 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3249 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3250 
  3251   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3252     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3253 
  3254   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3255 
  3256 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3257 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3258 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3259 
  3260 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3261 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3262 
  3263 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3264 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3265 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3266 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3267 
  3268 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3269 
  3270 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3271 
  3272 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3273 
  3274 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3276 
  3277 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3278 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3279 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3280 
  3281 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3282 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3283 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3284 
  3285 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3286 still supported as an input translation.
  3287 
  3288 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3289 
  3290   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3291   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3292   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3293   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3294   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3295   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3296   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3297 
  3298 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3299 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3300 
  3301   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3302   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3303   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3304   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3305   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3306   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3307 
  3308 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3309 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3310 
  3311 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3312 
  3313   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3314   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3315   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3316   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3317 
  3318 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3319 
  3320 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3321 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3322 
  3323 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3324 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3396 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3397 
  3398 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3399 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3400 
  3401 
  3402 *** ML ***
  3403 
  3404 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3405 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3406 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3407 
  3408 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3409 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3410 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3411 
  3412 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3413 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3414 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3415 
  3416 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3417 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3418 
  3419 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3420 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3421 
  3422 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3423 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3424 
  3425 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3426 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3427 
  3428 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3429 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3430 almost all situations.
  3431 
  3432 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3433 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3434 Isabelle/ML.
  3435 
  3436 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3437 meaning.
  3438 
  3439 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3440 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3441 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3442 
  3443 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3444 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3445 
  3446 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3447 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3448 
  3449 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3450 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3451 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3452 
  3453 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3454 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3455 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3456 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3457 configuration options.
  3458 
  3459 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3460 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3461 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3462 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3463 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3464 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3465 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3468 
  3469 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3470 ---------------------------------
  3471 
  3472 *** General ***
  3473 
  3474 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3475 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3476 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3477 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3478 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3479 their full internal name.
  3480 
  3481 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3482 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3483 Some hints on upgrading:
  3484 
  3485   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3486     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3487     which are independent of this issue.
  3488 
  3489   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3490     provides the following special forms:
  3491 
  3492       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3493       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3494       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3495 
  3496     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3497     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3498     extra variables".
  3499 
  3500     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3501     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3502     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3503     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3504     "logic".
  3505 
  3506   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3507     antiquotations:
  3508 
  3509       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3510       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3511       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3512       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3513 
  3514   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3515     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3516     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3517     antiquotations.
  3518 
  3519 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3520 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3521 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3522 diagnose syntax problems.
  3523 
  3524 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3525 
  3526 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3527 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3528 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3529 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3530 
  3531 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3532 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3533 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3534 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3535 
  3536 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3537 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3538 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3539 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3540 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3541 
  3542 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3543 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3544 
  3545 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3546 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3547 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3548 
  3549   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3550 
  3551 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3552 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3553 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3554 
  3555 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3556 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3557 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3558 
  3559 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3560 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3561 
  3562 
  3563 *** Pure ***
  3564 
  3565 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3566 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3567 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3568 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3569 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3570 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3571 inspect proof terms.
  3572 
  3573 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3574 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3575 are added internally.  For example:
  3576 
  3577   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3578 
  3579 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3580 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3581 
  3582 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3583 
  3584 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3585 'class' instead.
  3586 
  3587 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3588 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3589 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3590 
  3591 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3592 invariants.
  3593 
  3594 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3595 user space functionality any longer.
  3596 
  3597 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3598 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3599 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3600 
  3601 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3602 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3603 
  3604 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3605 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3606 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3607 
  3608 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3609 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3610 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3611 
  3612 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3613 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3614 
  3615 
  3616 *** HOL ***
  3617 
  3618 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3619 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3620 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3621 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3622 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3623 
  3624 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3625 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3626 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3627 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3628 
  3629   fun
  3630     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3631   where
  3632     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3633 
  3634   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3635     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3636 
  3637   quotient_definition
  3638     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3639 
  3640 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3641 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3642 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3643 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3644 
  3645 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3646 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3647 
  3648 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3649 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3650 
  3651 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3652 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3653 
  3654 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3655 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3656 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3657 
  3658 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3659 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3660 
  3661 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3662 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3663 
  3664 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3665 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3666 
  3667 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3668 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3669 
  3670 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3671 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3672 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3705 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3706 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3707 
  3708 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3709 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3710 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3711 
  3712 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3713 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3714 
  3715 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3716 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3717 
  3718 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3719 
  3720 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3721 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3722 
  3723 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3724 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3725 
  3726 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3727 
  3728 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3729 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3730 
  3731 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3732 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3733 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3734 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3735 
  3736 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3737   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3738   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3739   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3740 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3741 
  3742 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3743 lattices):

  3782 
  3783   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3784   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3785 
  3786     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3787     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3788     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3789     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3790     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3791 
  3792 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3793 
  3794 * Refined field classes:
  3795   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3796     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3797     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3798   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3799 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3800 
  3801 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3802   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3803   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3804   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3805     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3806   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3807     equal_neg_zero.
  3808 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3809 
  3810 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3811 sets to lattices:
  3812 
  3813   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3814   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3815   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3816   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3817   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3818   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3819   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3820   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3821   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3822   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3823 
  3824 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3825 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3826 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3827 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3828 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3829 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3830 
  3831 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3832 multiset order:
  3833 
  3834   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3835     <= and <;
  3836   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3837     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3838     multiset_order;
  3839   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3840     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3841     generation;
  3842   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3843     if needed.
  3844 
  3845 Renamed:
  3846 
  3847   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3848   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3849   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3850 
  3851 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3852 
  3853 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3854 
  3855 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3856 
  3857 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3858 
  3859 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3860 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3861 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3891   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3892 
  3893 * Sledgehammer:
  3894   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3895     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3896     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3897     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3898     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3899     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3900     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3901   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3902   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3903     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3904   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3905     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3906     is still experimental.)
  3907   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3908     full-typed mode.
  3909   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3910 
  3911 * Nitpick:
  3912   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3913   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3914   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3915     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3916   - Added support for quotient types.
  3917   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3918     constructs.
  3919   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3920     "termination" proofs).
  3921   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3922   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3923   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3924   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3925     record getters.
  3926   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3927   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3928   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3929   - Added "atoms" option.
  3930   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3931     problems.
  3932   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3933     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3934     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3935   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3936     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3937   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3938 
  3939 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3940   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3941   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3942   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3943   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3944   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3945   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3946   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3947   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3948   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3949 
  3950 
  3951 *** HOLCF ***
  3952 
  3953 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3954 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3955 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3956 
  3957 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3958 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3959 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3960 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3961 
  3962 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3963 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3964 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3965 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3966 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3967 
  3968 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3969 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3970 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3971 
  3972 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3973 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3974 
  3975   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3976   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3977 
  3978 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3979 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3980 
  3981   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3982   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3983   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3984   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3985   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3986 
  3987 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3988 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3989 
  3990   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3991   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3992   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3993 
  3994 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3995 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3996 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3997 
  3998 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3999 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4000 
  4001 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4002 
  4003 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4004 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4005 
  4006 
  4007 *** ML ***
  4008 
  4009 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4010 
  4011     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4012     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4013 
  4014     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4015     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4016     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4017     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4018 
  4019     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4020     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4021     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4022 
  4023 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4024 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4025 
  4026 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4027 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4028 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4029 
  4030 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4031 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4032 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4033 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4034 
  4035 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4036 the context or even global references.
  4037 
  4038 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4039 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4040 
  4041 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4042 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4043 
  4044   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4045   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4046   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4047   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4048   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4049   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4050   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4051   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4052   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4053   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4054 
  4055 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4056 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4057 
  4058 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4059 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4060 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4061 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4062 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4063 
  4064 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4065 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4066 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4067 Theory_Data version.
  4068 
  4069 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4070 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4071 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4072 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4073 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4074 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4075 explicitly in rare situations.
  4076 
  4077 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4078 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4079 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4080 
  4081 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4082 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4083 
  4084 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4085 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4086 quite rare).
  4087 
  4088 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4089 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4090 
  4091 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4092 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4093 terms.
  4094 
  4095 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4096 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4097 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4098 
  4099 
  4100 *** System ***
  4101 
  4102 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4103 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4104 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4105 
  4106 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4107 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4108 respectively.
  4109 
  4110 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4111 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4112 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4113 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4114 
  4115   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4116 
  4117 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4118 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4119 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4120 component.
  4121 
  4122 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4123 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4124 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4125 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4126 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4127 the user for manual installation.
  4128 
  4129 
  4130 
  4131 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4132 -------------------------------------
  4133 
  4134 *** General ***
  4135 
  4136 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4137 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4138 
  4139 
  4140 *** Pure ***
  4141 
  4142 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4143 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4144 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4145 
  4146 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4147 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4148 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4149 
  4150 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4151 interpretation.
  4152 
  4153 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4154 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4155 
  4156 
  4157 *** Document preparation ***
  4158 
  4159 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4160 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4161 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4162 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4163 
  4164 
  4165 *** HOL ***
  4166 
  4167 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4168 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4169 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4170 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4171 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4172 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4173 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4174 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4175 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4176 
  4177 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4178 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4179 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4180 
  4181 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4182 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4183 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4184 
  4185 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4186 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4187 
  4188 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4189 
  4190 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4191 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4192 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4193 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4194 
  4195 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4196 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4197 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4198 "mirabelle" utility.
  4199 
  4200 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4201 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4202 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4203 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4204 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4205 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4206 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4207 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4208 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4209 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4210 
  4211 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4212 procedure only.
  4213 
  4214 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4215 
  4216 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4217 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4218 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4219 that fail later.
  4220 
  4221 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4222 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4223 
  4224 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4225 the same method as the approximation method.
  4226 
  4227 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4228 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4229 series expansion.
  4230 
  4231 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4232 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4233 
  4234 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4235 reals.
  4236 
  4237 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4238 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4239 
  4240 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4241 fixpoint theorem.
  4242 
  4243 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4244   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4245     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4246   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4247     accordingly
  4248   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4249     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4250   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4251     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4252 
  4253 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4254 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4255 lattice.
  4256 
  4257 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4258 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4259 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4260 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4261 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4262 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4263 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4264 
  4265 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4266   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4267     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4268   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4269     le_inf_iff
  4270   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4271     sup_aci)
  4272   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4273   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4274   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4275     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4276     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4277     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4278     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4279     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4280     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4281     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4282     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4283     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4284     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4285   - authentic syntax for
  4286     Set.Pow
  4287     Set.image
  4288   - mere abbreviations:
  4289     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4290     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4291     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4292     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4293     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4294     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4295     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4296     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4297   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4298 
  4299 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4300 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4301 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4302 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4303 
  4304 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4305 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4306 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4307 
  4308 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4309 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4310 
  4311 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4312 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4313 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4314 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4315 
  4316 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4317 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4318 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4319 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4320 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4321 
  4322 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4323 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4324 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4325 
  4326 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4327 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4328 
  4329 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4330 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4331 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4332 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4333 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4334 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4335 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4336 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4337 
  4338 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4339     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4340     code_post       replaces    code post
  4341     etc.
  4342   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4343 
  4344 * Renamed methods:
  4345     sizechange -> size_change
  4346     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4347   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4348 
  4349 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4350 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4351 
  4352 * Renamed theorems:
  4353     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4354     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4355     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4356     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4357     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4358   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4359 
  4360 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4361 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4362 
  4363 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4364 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4365 
  4366 
  4367 *** HOLCF ***
  4368 
  4369 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4370 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4371 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4372 
  4373 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4374 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4375 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4376 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4377 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4378 
  4379 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4380 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4381 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4382 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4383 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4384 
  4385 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4386 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4387 constructor are pre-configured.
  4388 
  4389 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4390 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4391 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4392 
  4393 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4394 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4395 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4396 as well.)
  4397 
  4398 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4399 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4400 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4401 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4402 examples.
  4403 
  4404 
  4405 *** ML ***
  4406 
  4407 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4408 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4409 
  4410 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4411 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4412 position, logical grouping etc.
  4413 
  4414 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4415 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4416 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4417 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4418 
  4419 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4420 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4421 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4422 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4423 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4424 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4425 
  4426 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4427 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4428 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4429 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4430 experiments with references.
  4431 
  4432 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4433 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4434 
  4435 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4436 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4437 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4438 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4439 
  4440 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4441 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4442 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4443 
  4444 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4445 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4446 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4447 
  4448 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4449 
  4450 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4451 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4452 
  4453 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4454 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4455 
  4456 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4457 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4458 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4459 
  4460 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4461 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4462 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4463 
  4464 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4465 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4466 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4467 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4468 
  4469 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4470 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4471 instead of global theory.
  4472 
  4473 
  4474 *** System ***
  4475 
  4476 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4477 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4478 usedir option -q.
  4479 
  4480 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4481 also the system manual.
  4482 
  4483 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4484 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4485 
  4486 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4487 this is always enabled.
  4488 
  4489 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4490 
  4491 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4492 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4493 currently supported on Linux only.
  4494 
  4495 
  4496 
  4497 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4498 --------------------------------
  4499 
  4500 *** General ***
  4501 
  4502 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4503 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4504 
  4505   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4506     "isatool."
  4507 
  4508   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4509     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4510 
  4511   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4512     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4513 
  4514 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4515 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4516 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4517 
  4518 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4519 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4520 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4521 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4522 via "isabelle emacs".
  4523 
  4524 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4525 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4526 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4527 
  4528 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4529 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4530 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4531 
  4532 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4533 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4534 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4535 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4536 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4537 
  4538 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4539 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4540 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4541 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4542 
  4543 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4544 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4545 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4546 
  4547 
  4548 *** Pure ***
  4549 
  4550 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4551 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4552 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4553 
  4554 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4555 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4556 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4557 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4558 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4559 
  4560 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4561 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4562 useful in locale declarations.
  4563 
  4564 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4565 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4566 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4567 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4568 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4569 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4570 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4571 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4572 no longer generated.
  4573 
  4574 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4575 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4576 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4577 
  4578 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4579 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4580 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4581 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4582 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4583 
  4584 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4585 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4586 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4587 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4588 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4589 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4590 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4591 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4592 
  4593 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4594 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4595 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4596 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4597 
  4598 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4599 
  4600 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4601 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4602 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4603 
  4604 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4605 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4606 
  4607 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4608 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4609 in HOL, write
  4610 
  4611     class foo = ...
  4612 
  4613 instead of
  4614 
  4615     class foo = type + ...
  4616 
  4617 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4618 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4619 
  4620 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4621 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4622 
  4623 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4624 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4625 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4626 
  4627 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4628 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4629 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4630 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4631 directly in regular applications.
  4632 
  4633 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4634 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4635 
  4636 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4637 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4638 
  4639 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4640 theory context.
  4641 
  4642 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4643 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4644 
  4645 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4646 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4647 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4648 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4649 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4650 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4651 
  4652   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4653 
  4654 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4655 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4656 normalization.
  4657 
  4658 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4659 addressing etc.
  4660 
  4661 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4662 
  4663   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4664   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4665 
  4666 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4667 
  4668   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4669      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4670      parts of the code generator framework).
  4671 
  4672   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4673      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4674      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4675 
  4676 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4677 
  4678 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4679 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4680 
  4681 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4682 patterns, e.g.
  4683 
  4684     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4685 
  4686 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4687 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4688 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4689 hyphen:
  4690 
  4691     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4692 
  4693 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4694 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4695 
  4696 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4697 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4698 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4699 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4700 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4701 higher-order unification.
  4702 
  4703 
  4704 *** Document preparation ***
  4705 
  4706 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4707 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4708 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4709 
  4710 
  4711 *** HOL ***
  4712 
  4713 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4714 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4715 
  4716 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4717 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4718 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4719 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4720 Main, as before.
  4721 
  4722 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4723 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4724 
  4725 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4726 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4727 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4728 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4729 
  4730 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4731 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4732 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4733 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4734 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4735 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4736 
  4737 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4738 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4739 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4740 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4741 
  4742 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4743 menu.
  4744 
  4745 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4746 (contains the empty clause).
  4747 
  4748 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4749 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4750 
  4751 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4752 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4753 
  4754 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4755 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4756 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4757 
  4758 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4759 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4760 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4761 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4762 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4763 
  4764 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4765 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4766 
  4767 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4768 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4769 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4770 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4771 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4772 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4773 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4774 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4775 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4776 
  4777 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4778 
  4779 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4780 
  4781 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4782 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4783 
  4784 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4785 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4786 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4787 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4788 
  4789 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4790 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4791 
  4792     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4793     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4794     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4795     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4796     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4797     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4798     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4799     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4800 
  4801 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4802 theory Set.
  4803 
  4804 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4805 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4806 
  4807 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4808 
  4809 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4810 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4811 
  4812 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4813 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4814 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4815 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4816 allowed. For examples see
  4817 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4818 
  4819 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4820 
  4821 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4822 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4823 
  4824 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4825 structure:

  4878 
  4879 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4880 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4881 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4882 
  4883 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4884 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4885 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4886 
  4887 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4888 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4889 
  4890 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4891 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4892 
  4893 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4894 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4895 proofs, e.g.
  4896 
  4897   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4898 
  4899 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4900 
  4901 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4902 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4903 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4904 
  4905 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4906 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4907 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4908 
  4909 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4910 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4911 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4912 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4913 
  4914 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4915 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4916 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4917 preorder_class.*.
  4918 
  4919 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4920 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4921 
  4922 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4923 
  4924   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4925 
  4926 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4927 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4928 fold_image.
  4929 
  4930 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4931 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4932 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4933 the former will disappear at some point.
  4934 
  4935 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4936 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4937 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4938 
  4939 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4940 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4941 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4942 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4943 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4944 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4945 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4946 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4947 
  4948 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4949 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4950 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4951 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4952 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4953 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4954 
  4955     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4956     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4957     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4958     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4959     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4960     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4961     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4962 
  4963 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4964 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4965 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4966 
  4967 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4968 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  4972 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4973 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4974 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4975 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4976 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4977 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4978 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4979 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4980 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4981 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4982 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4983 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4984 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4985 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4986 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4987 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4988 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4989 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4990 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4991 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel

  5011 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5012 
  5013 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5014 
  5015 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5016 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5017 
  5018 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5019 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5020 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5021 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5022 
  5023 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5024 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5025 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5026 theory RealVector.
  5027 
  5028 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5029 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5030 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5031 and inner products are included.
  5032 
  5033 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5034 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5035 supported.
  5036 
  5037 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5038 first diagonalization argument.
  5039 
  5040 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5041 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5042 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5043 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5044 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5045 
  5046     hide (open) const gcd
  5047     abbreviation gcd where
  5048       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5049     notation (output)
  5050       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5051 
  5052 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5053 
  5054 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5055 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5056 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5057 
  5058 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5059 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5060 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5061 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5062 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5063 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5064 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5065 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5066 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5067 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5068 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5069 cases.
  5070 
  5071 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5072 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5073 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5074 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5075 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5076 
  5077     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5078     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5079     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5080     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5081     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5082 
  5083 
  5084 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5085 
  5086 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5087 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5088 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5089 
  5090 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5091 
  5092 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5093 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5094 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5095 
  5096 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5097 
  5098 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5099 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5100 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5101 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5102 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5103 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5104 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5105 
  5106 
  5107 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5108 
  5109 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5110 
  5111 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5112 theory targets.
  5113 
  5114 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5115 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5116 'inductive' etc.
  5117 
  5118 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5119 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5120 
  5121 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5122 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5123 
  5124 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5125 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5126 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5127 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5128 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5129 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5130 the algorithm W:
  5131 
  5132  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5133  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5134          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5135 
  5136 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5137 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5138 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5139 
  5140 
  5141 *** HOLCF ***
  5142 
  5143 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5144 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5145 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5146 
  5147 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5148 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5149 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5150 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5151 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5152 
  5153 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5154 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5155 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5156 
  5157 
  5158 *** ZF ***
  5159 
  5160 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5161 
  5162 
  5163 *** ML ***
  5164 
  5165 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5166 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5167 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5168 5.2.1!
  5169 
  5170 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5171 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5172 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5173 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5174 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5175 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5176 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5177 
  5178 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5179 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5180 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5181 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5182 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5183 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5184 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5185 
  5186 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5187 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5188 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5189 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5190 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5191 
  5192 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5193 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5194 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5195 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5196 Method.add_method.
  5197 
  5198 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5199 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5200 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5201 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5202 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5203 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5204 
  5205 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5206 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5207 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5208 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5209 examples.
  5210 
  5211 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5212 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5213 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5214 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5215 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5216 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5217 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5218 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5219 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5220 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5221 
  5222 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5223 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5224 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5225 
  5226 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5227 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5228 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5229 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5230 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5231 resort for legacy applications.
  5232 
  5233 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5234 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5235 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5236 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5237 explicit runtime argument.
  5238 
  5239 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5240 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5241 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5242 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5243 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5244 
  5245 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5246 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5247 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5248 theory state.
  5249 
  5250 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5251 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5252 
  5253   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5254   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5255   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5256   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5257   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5258   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5259   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5260   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5261   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5262   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5263 
  5264 
  5265 *** System ***
  5266 
  5267 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5268 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5269 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5270 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5271 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5272 
  5273 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5274 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5275 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5276 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5277 
  5278 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5279 
  5280 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5281 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5282 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5283 prover operations.
  5284 
  5285 
  5286 
  5287 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5288 -------------------------------
  5289 
  5290 *** General ***
  5291 
  5292 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5293 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5294 
  5295 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5296 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5297 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5298 provides a proper context already.
  5299 
  5300 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5301 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5302 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5303 
  5304 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5305 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5306 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5307 swap theory imports.
  5308 
  5309 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5310 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5311 
  5312 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5313 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5314 white space without escapes.
  5315 
  5316 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5317 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5318 "foo_bar".
  5319 
  5320 
  5321 *** Pure ***
  5322 
  5323 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5324 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5325 
  5326 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5327 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5328 
  5329 (1) unused_thms
  5330      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5331 
  5332 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5333      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5334      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5335 
  5336 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5337      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5338      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5339      their ancestors.
  5340 
  5341 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5342 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5343 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5344 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5345 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5346 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5347 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5348 
  5349 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5350 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5351 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5352 
  5353 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5354 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5355 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5356 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5357 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5358 
  5359 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5360 
  5361 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5362 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5363 update of theories within ML code.
  5364 
  5365 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5366 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5367 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5368 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5369 
  5370 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5371 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5372 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5373 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5374 
  5375 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5376 
  5377 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5378 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5379 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5380 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5381 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5382 
  5383 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5384 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5385 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5386 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5387 situations.
  5388 
  5389 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5390 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5391 proof text.
  5392 
  5393 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5394 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5395 
  5396 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5397 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5398 predicates.
  5399 
  5400 
  5401 *** Document preparation ***
  5402 
  5403 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5404 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5405 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5406 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5407 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5408 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5409 
  5410 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5411 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5412 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5413 
  5414 
  5415 *** HOL ***
  5416 
  5417 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5418 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5419 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5420 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5421 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5422 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5423 
  5424 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5425 with multithreading.
  5426 
  5427 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5428 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5429 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5430 
  5431 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5432 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5433 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5434 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5435 
  5436 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5437 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5438 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5439 and makes them available separately.  See
  5440 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5441 
  5442 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5443 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5444 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5445 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5446 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5447 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5448 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5449 the declared rules.
  5450 
  5451 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5452 
  5453   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5454 
  5455 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5456 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5457 
  5458 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5459 
  5460   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5461 
  5462   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5463     definitions on => and bool.
  5464 
  5465   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5466     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5467     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5468 
  5469       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5470       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5471       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5472       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5473       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5474       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5475       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5476       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5477 
  5478   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5479     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5480     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5481 
  5482   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5483     The proof pattern
  5484 
  5485       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5486       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5487 
  5488     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5489     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5490 
  5491       have "EX S. P S"
  5492       proof
  5493         show "P S" <...>
  5494       qed
  5495 
  5496   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5497     The proof pattern
  5498 
  5499       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5500       also have "S = T" <...>
  5501       finally have "P T" .
  5502 
  5503     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5504     must be replaced by something like
  5505 
  5506       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5507       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5508       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5509 
  5510   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5511     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5512 
  5513       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5514 
  5515     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5516     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5517     type of the form
  5518 
  5519       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5520 
  5521     rather than
  5522 
  5523       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5524 
  5525 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5526 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5527 
  5528 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5529 
  5530 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5531 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5532 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5533 
  5534 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5535 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5536 
  5537 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5538 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5539 
  5540 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5541 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5542 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5543 
  5544 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5545 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5546 
  5547   less_trans
  5548   less_linear
  5549   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5550   le_less_trans
  5551   less_le_trans
  5552   less_not_sym
  5553   less_asym
  5554 
  5555 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5556 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5557 and different variable names.
  5558 
  5559 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5560 
  5561 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5562 finite maps.
  5563 
  5564 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5565 
  5566 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5567 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5568 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5569 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5570 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5571 accordingly.
  5572 
  5573 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5574 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5575 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5576 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5577 
  5578 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5579 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5580 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5581 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5582 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5583 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5584 
  5585 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5586 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5587 
  5588 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5589 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5590 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5591 
  5592 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5593 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5594 
  5595 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5596 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5597 
  5598 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5599 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5600 
  5601 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5602 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5603 
  5604 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5605 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5606 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5607 
  5608 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5609 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5610 
  5611 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5612 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5613 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5614 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5615 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5616 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5617 
  5618 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5619 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5620 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5621 
  5622 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5623 
  5624 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5625 
  5626 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5627 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5628 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5629 
  5630 
  5631 *** ZF ***
  5632 
  5633 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5634 same session:
  5635 
  5636   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5637   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5638   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5639   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5640   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5641   List      -> List_ZF
  5642   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5643 
  5644 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5645 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5646 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5647 
  5648 
  5649 *** ML ***
  5650 
  5651 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5652 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5653 
  5654 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5655 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5656 
  5657 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5658 
  5659 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5660 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5661 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5662 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5663 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5664 
  5665 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5666 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5667 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5668 
  5669 
  5670 *** System ***
  5671 
  5672 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5673 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5674 
  5675 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5676 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5677 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5678 
  5679 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5680 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5681 
  5682 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5683 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5684 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5685 
  5686 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5687 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5688 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5689 
  5690 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5691 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5692 
  5693 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5694 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5695 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5696 script.
  5697 
  5698 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5699 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5700 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5701 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5702 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5703 
  5704 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5705 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5706 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5707 
  5708 
  5709 
  5710 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5711 -----------------------------------
  5712 
  5713 *** General ***
  5714 
  5715 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5716 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5717 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5718 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5719 
  5720 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5721 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5722 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5723 
  5724 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5725 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5726 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5727 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5728 
  5729 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5730 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5731 quotes.
  5732 
  5733 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5734 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5735 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5736 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5737 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5738 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5739 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5740 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5741 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5742 
  5743 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5744 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5745 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5746 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5747 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5748 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5749 
  5750 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5751 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5752 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5753 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5754 
  5755 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5756 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5757 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5758 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5759 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5760 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5761 
  5762 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5763 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5764 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5765 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5766 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5767 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5768 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5769 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5770 
  5771 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5772 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5773 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5774 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5775 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5776 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5777 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5778 
  5779 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5780 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5781 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5782 
  5783 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5784 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5785 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5786 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5787 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5788 limit is imposed.
  5789 
  5790 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5791 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5792 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5793 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5794 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5795 and scalability.
  5796 
  5797 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5798 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5799 
  5800 
  5801 *** Document preparation ***
  5802 
  5803 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5804 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5805 current context.
  5806 
  5807 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5808 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5809 
  5810 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5811 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5812 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5813 
  5814 
  5815 *** Pure ***
  5816 
  5817 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5818 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5819 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5820 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5821 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5822 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5823 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5824 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5825 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5826 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5827 
  5828 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5829 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5830 sketch:
  5831 
  5832     internal compilation:
  5833         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5834     writing SML code to a file:
  5835         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5836     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5837         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5838     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5839         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5840 
  5841     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5842         method ``eval''
  5843 
  5844 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5845 
  5846 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5847 
  5848     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5849     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5850     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5851     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5852 
  5853 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5854 
  5855     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5856       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5857 
  5858     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5859       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5860 
  5861     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5862       {(target)}+
  5863         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5864 
  5865     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5866       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5867         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5868 
  5869 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5870 
  5871 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5872 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5873 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5874 codegen".
  5875 
  5876 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5877 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5878 annotations).
  5879 
  5880 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5881 syntax.
  5882 
  5883 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5884 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5885 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5886 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5887 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5888 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5889 
  5890 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5891 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5892 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5893 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5894 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5895 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5896 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5897 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5898 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5899 equations, see section "definitions".
  5900 
  5901 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5902 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5903 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5904 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5905 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5906 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5907 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5908 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5909 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5910 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5911 
  5912 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5913 configuration options:
  5914 
  5915   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5916   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5917   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5918   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5919   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5920   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5921   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5922   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5923   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5924 
  5925 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5926 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5927 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5928 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5929 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5930 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5931 order.
  5932 
  5933 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5934 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5935 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5936 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5937 context encountered later on.
  5938 
  5939 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5940 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5941 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5942 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5943 
  5944 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5945 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5946 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5947 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5948 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5949 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5950 
  5951 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5952 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5953 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5954 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5955 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5956 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5957 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5958 more permissive.
  5959 
  5960 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5961 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5962 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5963 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5964 maintainability of proof texts.
  5965 
  5966 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5967 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5968 
  5969   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5970   then guess x and y by clarify
  5971 
  5972 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5973 proof tools being involved here.
  5974 
  5975 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5976 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5977 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5978 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5979 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5980 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5981 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5982 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5983 
  5984 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5985 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5986 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5987 
  5988   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5989   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5990   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5991   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5992 
  5993 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5994 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5995 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5996 
  5997 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5998 both named and unnamed ones.
  5999 
  6000 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6001 
  6002   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6003 
  6004 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6005 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6006 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6007 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6008 
  6009 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6010 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6011 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6012 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6013 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6014 
  6015 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6016 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6017 
  6018 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6019 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6020 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6021 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6022 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6023 originally first one.
  6024 
  6025 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6026 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6027 expected.
  6028 
  6029 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6030 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6031 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6032 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6033 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6034 
  6035   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6036     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6037     obtains x where "P x"
  6038 
  6039   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6040     assumes "A & B"
  6041     obtains A and B
  6042 
  6043   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6044     assumes "A | B"
  6045     obtains
  6046       A
  6047     | B
  6048 
  6049 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6050 explicitly:
  6051 
  6052   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6053     obtains "~ thesis"
  6054 
  6055   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6056     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6057 
  6058 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6059 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6060 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6061 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6062 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6063 case_names).
  6064 
  6065 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6066 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6067 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6068 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6069 
  6070 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6071 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6072 top-level lemma.
  6073 
  6074 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6075 introduction rule (default "that").
  6076 
  6077 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6078 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6079 to occur.
  6080 
  6081 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6082 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6083 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6084 representations independently of name spaces.
  6085 
  6086 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6087 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6088 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6089 
  6090 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6091 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6092 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6093 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6094 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6095 current context.
  6096 
  6097 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6098 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6099 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6100 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6101 
  6102   axiomatization
  6103     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6104     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6105 
  6106   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6107   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6108 
  6109   abbreviation
  6110     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6111     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6112 
  6113 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6114 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6115 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6116 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6117 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6118 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6119 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6120 
  6121 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6122 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6123 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6124 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6125 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6126 
  6127 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6128 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6129 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6130 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6131 
  6132 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6133 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6134 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6135 
  6136   definition "K x _ = x"
  6137 
  6138   inductive conj for A B
  6139   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6140 
  6141 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6142 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6143 abbreviations on output.
  6144 
  6145 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6146 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6147 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6148 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6149 
  6150 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6151 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6152 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6153 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6154 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6155 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6156 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6157 
  6158 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6159 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6160 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6161 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6162 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6163 
  6164 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6165 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6166 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6167 
  6168 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6169 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6170 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6171 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6172 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6173 
  6174   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6175     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6176 
  6177 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6178 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6179 partial_order.
  6180 
  6181 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6182 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6183 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6184 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6185 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6186 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6187 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6188 examples.
  6189 
  6190 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6191 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6192 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6193 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6194 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6195 
  6196 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6197 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6198 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6199 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6200 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6201 
  6202   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6203   (induct set: foo bar)
  6204   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6205   (induct type: foo bar)
  6206 
  6207 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6208 new format.
  6209 
  6210 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6211 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6212 
  6213 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6214 considered a legacy feature.
  6215 
  6216 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6217 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6218 
  6219 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6220 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6221 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6222 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6223   
  6224 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6225 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6226 manipulating the claset.
  6227 
  6228 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6229 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6230 least one premise.
  6231 
  6232 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6233 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6234 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6235 rule steps.
  6236 
  6237 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6238 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6239 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6240 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6241 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6242 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6243 
  6244 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6245 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6246 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6247 
  6248 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6249 the graph browser tool.
  6250 
  6251 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6252 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6253 
  6254 
  6255 *** HOL ***
  6256 
  6257 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6258 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6259 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6260 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6261 multi-threading.
  6262   
  6263 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6264 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6265 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6266 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6267 work with multi-threading.
  6268 
  6269 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6270 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6271 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6272 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6273 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6274 
  6275 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6276 
  6277 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6278 equality.
  6279 
  6280 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in

  6306 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6307 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6308 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6309 names.

  6311 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6312 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6313 
  6314 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6315 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6316 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6317 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6318 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6319 
  6320 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6321 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6322 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6323 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6324 
  6325 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6326 
  6327 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6328 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6329 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6330 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6331 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6332 
  6333 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6334 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6335 
  6336 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6337 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6338 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6339 
  6340 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6341 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6342 
  6343 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6344 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6345 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6346 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6347 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6348 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6349 in the current context.
  6350 
  6351 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6352 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6353 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6354 
  6355 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6356 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6357 
  6358 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6359 
  6360     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6361     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6362 
  6363     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6364       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6365     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6366     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6367 
  6368     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6369     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6370

  6473 
  6474 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6475 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6476 
  6477 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6478 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6479 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6480 "*.size".
  6481 
  6482 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6483 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6484 
  6485 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6486 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6487 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6488 
  6489 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6490 
  6491 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6492 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6493 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6494 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6495 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6496 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6497 numerals on all operations.
  6498 
  6499 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6500 
  6501 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6502 
  6503 * Code generator library theories:
  6504   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6505     languages.
  6506   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6507     languages.
  6508   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6509     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6510   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6511   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6512     denominator).
  6513   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6514     representable by rational numbers.
  6515   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6516     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6517     includes Code_Integer.
  6518   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6519     target-language built-in integers.
  6520   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6521     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6522 
  6523 * New package for inductive predicates
  6524 
  6525   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6526 
  6527     inductive
  6528       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6529       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6530     where
  6531       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6532     | ...
  6533 
  6534   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6535 
  6536     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6537 
  6538     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6539     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6540 
  6541     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6542     intros
  6543       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6544       ...
  6545 
  6546   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6547   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6548 
  6549     inductive_set
  6550       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6551       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6552     where
  6553       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6554     | ...
  6555 
  6556   or
  6557 
  6558     inductive_set
  6559       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6560       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6561       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6562     where
  6563       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6564     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6565     | ...
  6566 
  6567   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6568 
  6569   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6570   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6571 
  6572   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6573 
  6574   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6575     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6576     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6577     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6578     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6579 
  6580   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6581     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6582     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6583     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6584     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6585     statements of the form
  6586 
  6587       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6588 
  6589     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6590     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6591 
  6592       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6593 
  6594   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6595 
  6596       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6597         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6598         ==> ... ==> P
  6599 
  6600     for predicates and
  6601 
  6602       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6603         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6604         ==> ... ==> P
  6605 
  6606     for sets rather than
  6607 
  6608       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6609         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6610         ==> ... ==> P
  6611 
  6612     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6613     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6614     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6615 
  6616   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6617     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6618     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6619 
  6620 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6621 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6622 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6623 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6624 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6625 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6626 
  6627 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6628 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6629 
  6630 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6631 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6632 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6633 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6634 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6635 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6636 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6637 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6638 variable.
  6639 
  6640 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6641 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6642 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6643 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6644   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6645   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6646 
  6647 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6648 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6649 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6650 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6651 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6652 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6653 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6654 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6655 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6656 
  6657 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6658 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6659 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6660 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6661 rat, etc.
  6662 
  6663 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6664 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6665 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6666 
  6667 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6668 
  6669 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6670 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6671 
  6672 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6673 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6674 
  6675 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6676 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6677 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6678 
  6679 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6680 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6681 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6682 
  6683 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6684 
  6685 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6686 
  6687 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6688 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6689 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6690 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6691 
  6692 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6693 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6694 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6695 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6696 
  6697 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6698 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6699 algebraic operations.
  6700 
  6701 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6702 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6703 
  6704 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6705 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6706 
  6707 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6708 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6709 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6710 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6711 adapted.
  6712  
  6713 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6714 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6715 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6716 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6717 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6718 
  6719 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6720 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6721 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6722 
  6723 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6724 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6725 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6726 
  6727 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6728 
  6729 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6730 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6731 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6732   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6733       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6734   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6735   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6736   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6737 
  6738 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6739 
  6740 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6741 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6742 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6743 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6744 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6745 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6746 
  6747 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6748 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6749 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6750 
  6751 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6752 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6753 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6754 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6755 
  6756 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6757 
  6758 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6759 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6760 
  6761 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6762 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6763 
  6764 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6765 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6766 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6767 
  6768 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6769 True/False.
  6770 
  6771 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6772 
  6773 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6774 
  6775 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6776 ``rule'' method.
  6777 
  6778 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6779 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6780 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6781 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6782 
  6783 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6784 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6785 
  6786 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6787 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6788 
  6789 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6790 Library.
  6791 
  6792 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6793 
  6794 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6795 as greatest fixed-point.
  6796 
  6797 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6798 association lists.
  6799 
  6800 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6801 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6802 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6803 
  6804 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6805 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6806 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6807 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6808 behavior.
  6809 
  6810 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6811 
  6812 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6813 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6814 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6815 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6816 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6817 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6818 
  6819 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6820 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6821 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6822 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6823 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6824 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6825 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6826 
  6827 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6828 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6829 
  6830 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6831 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6832 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6833 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6834 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6835 
  6836 
  6837 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6838 
  6839 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6840 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6841 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6842 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6843 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6844 
  6845 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6846 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6847 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6848 
  6849 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6850 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6851 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6852 
  6853 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6854 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6855 
  6856 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6857 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6858 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6859 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6875   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6876 
  6877 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6878 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6879 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6880 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6891 
  6892 
  6893 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6894 
  6895 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6896 
  6897 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6898 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6899 
  6900 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6901 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6902 
  6903 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6904 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6905 of algebraic structures.
  6906 
  6907 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6908 
  6909 
  6910 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6911 
  6912 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6913 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6914 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6915 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6916 
  6917 
  6918 *** ML ***
  6919 
  6920 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6921 (even on SML/NJ).
  6922 
  6923 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6924 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6925 compile-time.  For example:
  6926 
  6927 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6928 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6929 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6930 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6931 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6932 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6933 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6934 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6935 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6936 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6937 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6938 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6939 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6940 ML {* @{context} *}
  6941 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6942 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6943 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6944 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6945 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6946 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6947 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6948 
  6949 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6950 
  6951 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6952 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6953 
  6954 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6955 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6956 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6957 
  6958 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6959 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6960 
  6961 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6962 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6963 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6964 
  6965 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6966 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6967 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6968 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6969 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6970 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6971 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6972 declarations and definitions.
  6973 
  6974 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6975 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6976 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6977 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6978 
  6979 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6980 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6981 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6982 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6983 
  6984 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6985 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6986 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6987 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6988 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6989 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6990 
  6991 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6992 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6993 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6994 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6995 attributes, methods, etc.
  6996 
  6997 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6998 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6999 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7000 fold_map combinators.
  7001 
  7002 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7003 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7004 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7005 derivation.
  7006 
  7007 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7008 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7009 achieve the old behaviour.
  7010 
  7011 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7012 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7013 statements.
  7014 
  7015 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7016 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7017 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7018 
  7019 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7020 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7021 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7022 
  7023   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7024   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7025   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7026 
  7027 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7028 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7029 
  7030 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7031 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7032 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7033 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7034 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7035 
  7036 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7037 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7038 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7039 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7040 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7041 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7042 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7043 in a locale context).
  7044 
  7045 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7046 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7047 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7048 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7049 
  7050 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7051 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7052 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7053 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7054 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7055 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7056 
  7057 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7058 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7059 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7060 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7061 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7062 
  7063   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7064 
  7065 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7066 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7067 this:
  7068 
  7069   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7070 
  7071 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7072 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7073 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7074 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7075 
  7076 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7077 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7078 
  7079 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7080 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7081 
  7082 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7083 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7084 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7085 batch mode.
  7086 
  7087 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7088 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7089 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7090 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7091 
  7092 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7093 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7094 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7095 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7096 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7097 
  7098 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7099 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7100 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7101 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7102 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7103 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7104 
  7105 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7106 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7107 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7108 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7109 
  7110 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7111 "Trueprop" etc.
  7112 
  7113 
  7114 *** System ***
  7115 
  7116 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7117 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7118 Isabelle installations.
  7119 
  7120 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7121 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7122 code.
  7123 
  7124 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7125 
  7126 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7127 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7128 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7129 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7130 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7131 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7132 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7133 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7134 Implementation manual.
  7135 
  7136 
  7137 
  7138 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7139 ----------------------------------
  7140 
  7141 *** General ***
  7142 
  7143 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7144 
  7145   theory <name>
  7146   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7147   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7148   begin
  7149 
  7150 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7151 
  7152   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7153 
  7154 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7155 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7156 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7157 
  7158 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7159 relative and absolute paths.
  7160 
  7161 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7162 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7163 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7164 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7165 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7166 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7167 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7168 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7169 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7170 
  7171   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7172 
  7173 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7174 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7175 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7176 
  7177 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7178 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7179 
  7180 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7181 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7182 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7183 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7184 
  7185   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7186   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7187 
  7188 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7189 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7190 faster.
  7191 
  7192 
  7193 *** Document preparation ***
  7194 
  7195 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7196 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7197 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7198 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7199 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7200 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7201 
  7202 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7203 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7204 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7205 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7206 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7207 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7208 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7209 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7210 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7211 \isadroptag.
  7212 
  7213 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7214 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7215 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7216 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7217 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7218 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7219 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7220 specified above.
  7221 
  7222 * Several new antiquotations:
  7223 
  7224   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7225 
  7226   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7227 
  7228   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7229   argument is a known logical constant;
  7230 
  7231   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7232   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7233 
  7234   @{ML text}
  7235 
  7236 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7237 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7238 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7239 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7240 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7241 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7242 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7243 
  7244 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7245 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7246 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7247 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7248 
  7249 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7250 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7251 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7252 
  7253 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7254 a proof context.
  7255 
  7256 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7257 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7258 
  7259 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7260 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7261 
  7262 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7263 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7264 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7265 
  7266 
  7267 *** Pure ***
  7268 
  7269 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7270 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7271 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7272 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7273 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7274 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7275 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7276 
  7277 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7278 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7279 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7280 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7281 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7282 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7283 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7284 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7285 
  7286 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7287 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7288 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7289 
  7290 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7291 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7292 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7293 
  7294 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7295 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7296 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7297 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7298 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7299 
  7300 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7301 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7302 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7303 axclasses vs. locales.
  7304 
  7305 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7306 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7307 
  7308 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7309 marks in schematic variable names.
  7310 
  7311 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7312 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7313 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7314 
  7315   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7316     by simp
  7317 
  7318 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7319 
  7320 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7321 annotations as "(00...)".
  7322 
  7323 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7324 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7325 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7326 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7327 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7328 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7329 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7330 
  7331 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7332 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7333 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7334 specifications.
  7335 
  7336 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7337 locally fixed variables as well.
  7338 
  7339 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7340 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7341 Limit.
  7342 
  7343 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7344 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7345 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7346 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7347 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7348 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7349 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7350 
  7351 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7352 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7353 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7354 
  7355 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7356 
  7357 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7358 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7359 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7360 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7361 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7362 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7363 
  7364 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7365 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7366 
  7367 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7368 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7369 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7370 
  7371 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7372 
  7373 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7374 theory development.
  7375 
  7376 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7377 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7378 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7379 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7380 
  7381 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7382 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7383 quoted when used as identifier.
  7384 
  7385 
  7386 *** Locales ***
  7387 
  7388 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7389 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7390 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7391 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7392 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7393 commands is a follows:
  7394 
  7395   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7396   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7397   (3) interpret expr inst
  7398 
  7399 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7400 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7401 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7402 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7403 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7404 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7405 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7406 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7407 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7408 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7409 
  7410 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7411 'interpret' instead.
  7412 
  7413 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7414 parameters.
  7415 
  7416 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7417 redeclaration.
  7418 
  7419 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7420 
  7421 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7422 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7423 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7424 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7425 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7426 
  7427 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7428 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7429 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7430 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7431 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7432 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7433 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7434 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7435 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7436 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7437 
  7438 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7439 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7440 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7441 
  7442 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7443 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7444 
  7445 
  7446 *** Provers ***
  7447 
  7448 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7449 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7450 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7451 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7452 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7453 
  7454 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7455 and quasi orders.
  7456 
  7457 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7458 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7459 
  7460 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7461 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7462 
  7463 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7464 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7465 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7466 
  7467 
  7468 *** HOL ***
  7469 
  7470 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7471 
  7472   syntax (epsilon)
  7473     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7474 
  7475 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7476 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7477 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7478 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7479 
  7480 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7481 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7482 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7483 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7484 
  7485 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7486 instead of ":".
  7487 
  7488 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7489 
  7490   Old       New
  7491   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7492   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7493   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7494   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7495   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7496 
  7497 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7498 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7499 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7500 
  7501   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7502   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7503 
  7504 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7505 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7506 interface.
  7507 
  7508 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7509 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7510 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7511 be a tuple pattern.
  7512 
  7513 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7514 
  7515   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7516   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7517   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7518   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7519 
  7520 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7521 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7522 
  7523 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7524 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7525 (insert F x)'.
  7526 
  7527 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7528 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7529 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7530 
  7531 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7532 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7533 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7534 
  7535 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7536 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7537 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7538 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7539 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7540 
  7541 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7542 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7543 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7544 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7545 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7546 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7547 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7548 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7549 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7550 
  7551 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7552 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7553 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7554 quite long.
  7555 
  7556 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7557 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7558 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7559 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7560 
  7561 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7562 type-variables in the term.
  7563 
  7564 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7565 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7566 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7567 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7568 goals than previously.
  7569 
  7570 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7571 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7572 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7573 just like y <= x.
  7574 
  7575 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7576 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7577 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7578 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7579 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7580 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7581 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7582 
  7583 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7584 
  7585 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7586 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7587 
  7588 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7589 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7590 inequalities.
  7591 
  7592 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7593 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7594 
  7595   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7596   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7597   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos

  7602   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7603   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7604   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7605   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7606 
  7607 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7608      
  7609      zero_le_square
  7610      not_square_less_zero 
  7611 
  7612   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7613   
  7614      realpow_zero_zero
  7615      realpow_two
  7616      realpow_less

  7618      realpow_two_le
  7619      abs_realpow_two
  7620      realpow_two_abs     
  7621 
  7622 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7623 
  7624 * Theory List:
  7625 
  7626 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7627 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7628 
  7629   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7630   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7631   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7632   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7633 
  7634 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7635 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7636 
  7637 
  7638 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7639 
  7640 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7641 integers in the reals.
  7642 
  7643 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7644 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7645 
  7646   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7647   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7648   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7649   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7650   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7651 
  7652 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7653 
  7654 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7655 
  7656 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7657 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7658 
  7659   hypreal = real star
  7660   hypnat = nat star
  7661   hcomplex = complex star
  7662 
  7663 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7664 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7665

  7679 
  7680 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7681 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7682

  7707 
  7708 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7709 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7710 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7711 
  7712   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set

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

 10618 
 10619 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10620 ---------------------------------
 10621 
 10622 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10623 
 10624 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10625 
 10626 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10627 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10628 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10629 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10630 
 10631 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10632 
 10633 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10634 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10635 
 10636 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10637 
 10638 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10639 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10640 
 10641 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10642 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10643 
 10644 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10645 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10646 
 10647 
 10648 
 10649 New in Isabelle94-6
 10650 -------------------
 10651 
 10652 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10653 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10654 
 10655 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10656 
 10657 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10658 
 10659 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10660 
 10661 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10662 
 10663 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10664 
 10665 
 10666 
 10667 New in Isabelle94-5
 10668 -------------------
 10669 
 10670 * reduced space requirements;
 10671 
 10672 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10673 
 10674 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10675 
 10676 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10677 
 10678 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10679 
 10680 
 10681 
 10682 New in Isabelle94-4
 10683 -------------------
 10684 
 10685 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10686 
 10687 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10688 
 10689 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10690 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10691 
 10692 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10693 Axiom of Choice;
 10694 
 10695 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10696 
 10697 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10698 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10699 
 10700 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10701 
 10702 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10703 translates to the operator "split";
 10704 
 10705 
 10706 
 10707 New in Isabelle94-3
 10708 -------------------
 10709 
 10710 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10711 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10712         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10713 
 10714 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10715 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10716 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10717 
 10718 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10719 
 10720 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10721 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10722 
 10723 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10724 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10725 
 10726 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10727 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10728 
 10729 
 10730 
 10731 New in Isabelle94-2
 10732 -------------------
 10733 
 10734 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10735 
 10736 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10737 freely;
 10738 
 10739 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10740 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10741 
 10742 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10743 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10744 (theory_of_thm);
 10745 
 10746 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10747 
 10748 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10749 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10750 
 10751 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10752 have been removed;
 10753 
 10754 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10755 
 10756 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10757 
 10758 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10759 types;
