     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    10 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    11 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    12 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    13 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    14 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    15 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    16 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    17 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    18 syntax.
    19 
    20 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    21 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    24 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    25 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    26 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    27 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    28 
    29 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    30 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    31 
    32 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
    33 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
    34 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation, with its
    35 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs, has been discontinued.
    36 The default chapter is "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for HTML
    37 presentation of theories.
    38 
    39 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    40 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    41 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    44 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    45 
    46 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    47 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    48 
    49 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    50 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    51 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    52 
    53 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    54 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    55 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    56 
    57 
    58 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    59 
    60 * Improved "Theories" panel: Continuous checking of proof document
    61 (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly, using check
    62 box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may be marked
    63 explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box or
    64 shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    65 
    66 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancelation of
    67 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    68 such command executions while editing.
    69 
    70 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    71 document content.
    72 
    73 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    74 toplevel theorem statements.
    75 
    76 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    77 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    78 
    79 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    80 documentation.
    81 
    82 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    83 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    84 normal editing and checking process.
    85 
    86 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    87 timing information.
    88 
    89 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
    90 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
    91 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
    92 
    93 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
    94 / Global Options / Appearance".
    95 
    96 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
    97 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.
    98 
    99   - Various Isabelle plugin options to control popup behaviour and
   100     immediate insertion into buffer.
   101 
   102   - Light-weight popup, which avoids explicit window (more reactive
   103     and more robust).  Interpreted key events: TAB, ESCAPE, UP, DOWN,
   104     PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN.  All other key events are passed to the jEdit
   105     text area unchanged.
   106 
   107   - Explicit completion via standard jEdit shortcut C+b, which has
   108     been remapped to action "isabelle.complete" (fall-back on regular
   109     "complete-word" for non-Isabelle buffers).
   110 
   111   - Implicit completion via keyboard input on text area, with popup or
   112     immediate insertion into buffer.
   113 
   114   - Implicit completion of plain words requires at least 3 characters
   115     (was 2 before).
   116 
   117   - Immediate completion ignores plain words; it requires > 1
   118     characters of symbol abbreviation to complete, otherwise fall-back
   119     on completion popup.
   120 
   121   - Isabelle Symbols are only completed in backslashed forms,
   122     e.g. \forall or \<forall> that both produce the Isabelle symbol
   123     \<forall> in its Unicode rendering.
   124 
   125   - Refined table of Isabelle symbol abbreviations (see
   126     $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   127 
   128 
   129 *** Pure ***
   130 
   131 * Type theory is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   132 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   133 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   134 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   135 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   136 
   137 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   138 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   139 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   140 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   141 
   142 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   143 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   144 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   145 
   146 * Target-sensitive commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale'.
   147 Particulary, 'interpretation' now allows for non-persistent
   148 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks.  See
   149 "isar-ref" manual for details.
   150 
   151 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   152 
   153 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   154 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   155 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   156 
   157 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   158 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   159 
   160 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   161 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   162 situations.
   163 
   164 
   165 *** HOL ***
   166 
   167 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   168 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   169 
   170 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   171 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   172 to distinguish both when desired.
   173 
   174 * Code generator:
   175   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   176     'code_instance'.
   177   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   178     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   179   See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories
   180   for examples.
   181 
   182 * HOL/BNF:
   183   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including a
   184     "primrec_new" command, a "datatype_new_compat" command, and
   185     documentation. See "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   186   - Renamed keywords:
   187     data ~> datatype_new
   188     codata ~> codatatype
   189     bnf_def ~> bnf
   190   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   191     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   192     map_id' ~> map_id
   193     set_map' ~> set_map
   194 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   195 
   196 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   197   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   198   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   199     generated code.
   200   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   201   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   202   - Fact renames:
   203     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   204     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   205     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   206 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   207 
   208 * Reification and reflection:
   209   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   210     "Reification".
   211   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   212   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   213 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   214 
   215 * Weaker precendence of syntax for big intersection and union on sets,
   216 in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   217 
   218 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   219 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   220 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   221 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   222 
   223   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   224 
   225 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   226 
   227 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   228   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   229     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   230     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   231   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   232     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   233   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   234     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   235     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   236     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   237     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   238     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   239     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   240     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly. 
   241   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   242     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   243   - Fact renames:
   244       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   245       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   246 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   247 
   248 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   249 
   250 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.
   251 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   252 
   253 * Discontinued obsolete src/HOL/IsaMakefile (considered legacy since
   254 Isabelle2013).  Use "isabelle build" to operate on Isabelle sessions.
   255 
   256 * Numeric types mapped by default to target language numerals: natural
   257 (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former code_int).
   258 Conversions are available as integer_of_natural / natural_of_integer /
   259 integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   260 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   261 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   262 
   263 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   264 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   265 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   266 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   267 
   268 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   269 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   270 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   271 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   272 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   273 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   274 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   275 lemmas.
   276 
   277 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   278 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   279 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   280 
   281 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   282 top and bottom elements.
   283 
   284 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   285 
   286 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   287 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   288 
   289  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and linear_continuum_topology.
   290    Allows to generalize theorems about limits and order.
   291    Instances are reals and extended reals.
   292 
   293  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   294    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.
   295    "isCont" is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   296 
   297    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an arbitrary
   298    filter.
   299 
   300  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma
   301    to prove compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   302    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a continuous
   303    function is continuous, when the function is continuous on a compact set.
   304 
   305  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   306    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   307    linear_continuum_topology).
   308 
   309  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   310    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and on
   311    all sequences converging to x.
   312 
   313  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved theorems
   314    from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the definition of DERIV on
   315    FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV which are restricted to sets,
   316    i.e. to represent derivatives from left or right.
   317 
   318  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   319 
   320      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   321 
   322  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   323    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   324 
   325  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros, continuous_intros,
   326    continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems in tendsto_intros (or
   327    FDERIV_intros) are also available as tendsto_eq_intros (or
   328    FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side is replaced by a congruence
   329    rule. This allows to apply them as intro rules and then proving
   330    equivalence by the simplifier.
   331 
   332  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   333 
   334    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   335 
   336    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   337      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   338 
   339    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   340 
   341    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces, Real_Vector_Spaces, and
   342      Limits
   343 
   344    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   345 
   346    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   347 
   348  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   349 
   350 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   351 
   352 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   353 
   354     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   355     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   356 
   357 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   358 
   359 * Sledgehammer:
   360 
   361   - Renamed option:
   362       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   363 
   364 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   365 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   366 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   367 
   368 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   369 .../poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   370 src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides integration
   371 with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   372 
   373 
   374 *** ML ***
   375 
   376 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   377 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   378 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   379 Examples.thy in particular.
   380 
   381 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   382 
   383     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   384     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   385 
   386 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   387 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   388 
   389 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   390 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   391 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   392 clasets separately from the context.
   393 
   394 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   395 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   396 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   397 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   398 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   399 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   400 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   401 
   402 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   403 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   404 
   405 
   406 *** System ***
   407 
   408 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   409 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   410 
   411 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   412 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   413 
   414 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   415 settings variable.
   416 
   417 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   418 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   419 always pdf.
   420 
   421 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   422 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   423 
   424 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   425 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   426 
   427 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   428 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   429 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   430 
   431 
   432 
   433 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   434 -----------------------------------
   435 
   436 *** General ***
   437 
   438 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   439 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   440 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   441 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   442 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   443 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   444 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   445 
   446 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   447 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   448 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   449 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   450 
   451 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   452 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   453 
   454 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   455 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   456 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   457 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   458 dependencies properly.
   459 
   460 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   461 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   462 
   463 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   464 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   465 
   466 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   467 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   468 and "class ... context ...".
   469 
   470 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   471 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   472 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   473 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   474 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   475 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   476 
   477 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   478 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   479 
   480 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   481 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   482 
   483 
   484 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   485 
   486 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   487 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   488 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   489 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   490 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   491 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   492 
   493 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   494 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   495 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   496 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   497 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   498 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   499 
   500 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   501 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   502 browser on demand.
   503 
   504 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   505 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   506 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   507 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   508 
   509 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   510 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   511 
   512 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   513 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   514 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   515 potentially infinite message streams.
   516 
   517 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   518 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   519 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   520 schemes.
   521 
   522 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   523 symbols.
   524 
   525 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   526 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   527 
   528 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   529 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   530 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   531 
   532 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   533 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   534 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   535 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   536 
   537 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   538 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   539 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   540 
   541 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   542 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   543 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   544 Isabelle distribution.
   545 
   546 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   547 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   548 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   549 
   550 
   551 *** Pure ***
   552 
   553 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   554 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   555 
   556 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   557 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   558 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   559 
   560 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   561 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   562 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   563 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   564 with some care where this is really required.
   565 
   566 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   567 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   568 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   569 
   570   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   571 
   572 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   573 a Hasse diagram.
   574 
   575 
   576 *** HOL ***
   577 
   578 * Sledgehammer:
   579 
   580   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   581     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   582   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   583   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   584   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   585   - Renamed options:
   586       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   587       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   588       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   589       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   590 
   591 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   592 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   593 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   594 
   595 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   596 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   597 
   598 * Lifting:
   599   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   600   - quot_del attribute
   601   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   602 
   603 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   604 expressions.
   605 
   606 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   607 pointfree expressions.
   608 
   609 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   610 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   611 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   612 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   613 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   614 
   615 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   616 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   617 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   618 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   619 accordingly.
   620 
   621 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   622 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   623 
   624 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   625 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   626 
   627 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   628 
   629 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   630 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   631 
   632 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   633 
   634 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   635 
   636   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   637   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   638 
   639 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   640 
   641 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   642 
   643   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   644   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   645 
   646 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   647 
   648 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   649 
   650   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   651     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   652     output f x converges to G.
   653 
   654   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   655     infinity (at_bot).
   656 
   657   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   658     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   659 
   660   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   661     at_top".
   662 
   663 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   664 
   665 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   666 lattice type classes.
   667 
   668 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   669 
   670     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   671     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   672 
   673 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   674 
   675 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   676 changes as follows.
   677 
   678   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   679 
   680       prefix ~> prefixeq
   681       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   682 
   683   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   684     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   685     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   686     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   687 
   688   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   689     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   690     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   691 
   692   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   693     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   694     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   695     Library/Prefix_Order.
   696 
   697   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   698     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   699 
   700       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   701       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   702       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   703       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   704       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   705       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   706       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   707       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   708       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   709       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   710       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   711       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   712       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   713       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   714       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   715       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   716 
   717 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   718 
   719 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   720 
   721 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   722 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   723 
   724 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   725 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   726 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   727 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   728 
   729   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   730   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   731   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   732   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   733   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   734   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   735   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   736   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   737   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   738   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   739 
   740 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   741 
   742 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   743 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   744 Data").
   745 
   746 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   747 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   748 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   749 code.
   750 
   751 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   752 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   753 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   754 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   755 
   756 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   757 
   758 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   759 
   760 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   761 
   762   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   763   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   764 
   765 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   766 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   767 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   768 
   769   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   770 
   771     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   772     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   773     cart_base i  removed
   774     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   775 
   776   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   777 
   778   Renamed lemmas:
   779 
   780     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   781     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   782     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   783     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   784     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   785     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   786     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   787     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   788     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   789     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   790 
   791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   792 
   793 * HOL/Probability:
   794 
   795   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   796 
   797   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   798     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   799     (borel_measurable_induct).
   800 
   801   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   802     projective family).
   803 
   804 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   805 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   806 
   807 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   808 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   809 datatypes.
   810 
   811 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   812 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   813 
   814 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   815 trees for the code generator.
   816 
   817 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   818 Lifting/Transfer.
   819 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   820 
   821 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   822 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   823 
   824 
   825 *** Document preparation ***
   826 
   827 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   828 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   829 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   830 
   831 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   832 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   833 
   834 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   835 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   836 document/root.tex.
   837 
   838 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   839 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   840 
   841 
   842 *** ML ***
   843 
   844 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   845 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   846 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   847 
   848 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   849 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   850 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   851 
   852 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   853 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   854 necessarily printing visible text.
   855 
   856 
   857 *** System ***
   858 
   859 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   860 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   861 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   862 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   863 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   864 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   865 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   866 
   867 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   868 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   869 
   870   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   871 
   872 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   873 
   874 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   875 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   876 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   877 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   878 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   879 
   880 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   881 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   882 
   883 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   884 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   885 
   886 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   887 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   888 
   889 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   890 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   891 version of Isabelle.
   892 
   893 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   894 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   895 
   896 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   897 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   898 for home-made settings.
   899 
   900 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   901 
   902 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   903 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   904 configuration.
   905 
   906 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   907 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   908 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   909 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   910 bundled as Isabelle component.
   911 
   912 
   913 
   914 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   915 ------------------------------
   916 
   917 *** General ***
   918 
   919 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   920 
   921   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   922     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   923   - markup for bound variables
   924   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   925   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   926   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   927     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   928 
   929 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   930 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   931 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   932 
   933 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   934 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   935 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   936 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   937 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   938 
   939   context
   940     fixes x y z :: 'a
   941     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   942   begin
   943 
   944   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   945 
   946   end
   947 
   948   thm my_trans
   949 
   950 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   951 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   952 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   953 
   954 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   955 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   956 
   957 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   958 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   959 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   960 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   961 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   962 
   963 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   964 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   965 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   966 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   967 indices of schematic variables.
   968 
   969 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   970 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   971 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   972 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   973 etc. was exploited.
   974 
   975 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   976 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   977 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   978 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   979 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   980 of the material of that old tutorial.
   981 
   982 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   983 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   984 manual.
   985 
   986 
   987 *** Pure ***
   988 
   989 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   990 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   991 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   992 
   993 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   994 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   995 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   996 undocumented feature.)
   997 
   998 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   999 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1000 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1001 
  1002   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1003 
  1004   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1005     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1006 
  1007 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1008 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1009 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1010 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1011 
  1012 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1013 
  1014     num ~> num_token
  1015     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1016     xstr ~> str_token
  1017 
  1018 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1019 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1020 position information via constraints).
  1021 
  1022 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1023 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1024 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1025 
  1026 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1027 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1028 
  1029 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1030 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1031 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1032 
  1033 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1034 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1035 
  1036 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1037 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1038 
  1039   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1040 
  1041 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1042 
  1043 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1044 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1045 
  1046 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1047 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1048 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1049 
  1050 
  1051 *** HOL ***
  1052 
  1053 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1054 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1055 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1056 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1057 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1058 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1059 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1060 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1061 possible.
  1062 
  1063 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1064 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1065 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1066 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1067 
  1068 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1069 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1070 
  1071 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1072 
  1073 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1074 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1075 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1076 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1077 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1078 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1079 
  1080   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1081     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1082 
  1083   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1084     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1085     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1086 
  1087   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1088     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1089 
  1090   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1091     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1092     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1093 
  1094   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1095     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1096 
  1097 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1098 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1099 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1100 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1101 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1102 
  1103   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1104     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1105     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1106     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1107     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1108 
  1109     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1110     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1111 
  1112   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1113     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1114     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1115     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1116     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1117     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1118     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1119     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1120 
  1121   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1122     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1123     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1124     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1125 
  1126   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1127     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1128     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1129     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1130 
  1131   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1132     from type nat to type int.
  1133 
  1134 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1135 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1136 
  1137   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1138     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1139     type.  Example syntax:
  1140 
  1141     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1142       is List.insert
  1143 
  1144     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1145     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1146     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1147     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1148     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1149     by the package.
  1150 
  1151   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1152     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1153     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1154     code generation for each constant.
  1155 
  1156   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1157     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1158     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1159     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1160     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1161 
  1162   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1163     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1164     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1165 
  1166 * Quotient package:
  1167 
  1168   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1169     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1170 
  1171   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1172     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1173 
  1174   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1175     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1176     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1177 
  1178   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1179     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1180 
  1181 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1182 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1183 
  1184 * Quickcheck:
  1185 
  1186   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1187     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1188     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1189     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1190     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1191 
  1192     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1193     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1194     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1195 
  1196     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1197     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1198 
  1199     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1200     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1201     show genuine counterexamples.
  1202 
  1203   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1204     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1205 
  1206     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1207     constructors of that type.
  1208 
  1209   - Support for multisets.
  1210 
  1211   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1212 
  1213   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1214     conjectures in a locale context.
  1215 
  1216 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1217 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1218 
  1219 * Sledgehammer:
  1220   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1221     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1222   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1223   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1224     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1225   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1226   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1227   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1228   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1229 
  1230 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1231 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1232 
  1233 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1234 
  1235 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1236 
  1237 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1238 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1239 
  1240   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1241 
  1242 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1243 a list and a nat.
  1244 
  1245 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1246 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1247 
  1248 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1249 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1250 default.
  1251 
  1252 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1253 
  1254   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1255 
  1256 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1257 
  1258 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1259 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1260 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1261 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1262 one_case.
  1263 
  1264 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1265 the result of the fact expression.
  1266 
  1267 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1268 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1269 of some relation theorems:
  1270 
  1271   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1272   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1273   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1274   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1275   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1276   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1277 
  1278 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1279 
  1280 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1281 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1282 
  1283 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1284 
  1285 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1286 to match the constant's name:
  1287 
  1288   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1289   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  1290   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  1291   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  1292   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  1293   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  1294   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  1295   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  1296   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  1297   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  1298   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  1299   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  1300   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  1301   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  1302   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  1303   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  1304   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  1305   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  1306   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  1307   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  1308   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  1309   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1310   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1311   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  1312 
  1313 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1314 
  1315 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  1316 and corresponding theorem names:
  1317 
  1318   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  1319 
  1320   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  1321 
  1322   - Renamed theorems:
  1323 
  1324     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  1325     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  1326     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  1327     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  1328     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  1329     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  1330     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  1331     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  1332     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  1333     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  1334     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
  1335     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
  1336     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1337     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
  1338     pred_compI ~> relcomppI

  1720 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1721 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1722 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1723 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1724 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1725 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1726 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1727 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1728 
  1729 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1730 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1731 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1732 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1733 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1734 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1735 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1736 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1737 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1738 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1739 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1740 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1765   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1766   image_space
  1767   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1901 
  1902 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1903 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1904 
  1905 
  1906 *** FOL ***
  1907 
  1908 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1909 
  1910 
  1911 *** ZF ***
  1912 
  1913 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1914 analysis.
  1915 
  1916 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1917 
  1918 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1919 
  1920 
  1921 *** ML ***
  1922 
  1923 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1924 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1925 
  1926 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1927 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1928 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1929 
  1930 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1931 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1932 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1933 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1934 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1935 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1936 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1937 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1938 
  1939 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1940 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1941 
  1942 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1943 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1944 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1945 
  1946 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1947 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1948 
  1949 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1950 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1951 context as well.
  1952 
  1953 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1954 
  1955   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1956   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1957   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  1958   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  1959   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  1960   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong

  1963   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1964   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1965   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1966   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1967 
  1968 
  1969 *** System ***
  1970 
  1971 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1972 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1973 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1974 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1975 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1976 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1977 the generic user home was intended.
  1978 
  1979 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1980 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1981 
  1982 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1983 (not just JRE).
  1984 
  1985 
  1986 
  1987 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1988 ------------------------------------
  1989 
  1990 *** General ***
  1991 
  1992 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1993 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1994 
  1995   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1996     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1997     files for checking).
  1998 
  1999   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2000     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2001     positions.
  2002 
  2003   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2004     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2005     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2006 
  2007   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2008     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2009     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2010 
  2011   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2012     cores.
  2013 
  2014   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2015     versions (garbage collection).
  2016 
  2017 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2018 including some remaining limitations.
  2019 
  2020 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2021 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2022 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2023 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2024 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2025 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2026 
  2027 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2028 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2029 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2030 
  2031 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2032 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2033 usedir option -Q.
  2034 
  2035 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2036 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2037 
  2038   long_names   ~> names_long
  2039   short_names  ~> names_short
  2040   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2041 
  2042 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2043 
  2044   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2045 
  2046 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2047 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2048 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2049 
  2050 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2051 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2052 
  2053 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2054   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2055   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2056   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2057     "Classical Reasoner".
  2058 
  2059 
  2060 *** HOL ***
  2061 
  2062 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2063 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2064 
  2065 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2066 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2067 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2068 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2069 class complete_linorder.
  2070 
  2071 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2072 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2073 
  2074 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2075 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2076 
  2077   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2078   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2079   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right

  2110 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2111 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2112 
  2113 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2114 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2115 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2116 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2119 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2120 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2121 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2122 
  2123 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2124 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2125 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2126 
  2127 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2128 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2129 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2130 
  2131 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2132 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2133 
  2134 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2135 
  2136     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2137     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2138 
  2139 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2140 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2141 
  2142 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2143 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2144 
  2145 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2146 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2147 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2148 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2244 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2245 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2246 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2247 
  2248 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2249 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2250 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2251 
  2252 * Code generation:
  2253 
  2254   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2255     characters in the target language.
  2256 
  2257   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2258     instead.
  2259 
  2260   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2261 
  2262   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2263     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2264 
  2265       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2266 
  2267 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2268 
  2269 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2270 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2271 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2272 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2273 syntax.
  2274 
  2275 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2276 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2277 
  2278 * Nitpick:
  2279   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2280   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2281   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2282     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2283 
  2284 * Sledgehammer:
  2285   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2286   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2287     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2288   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2289     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2290   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2291     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2292   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2293     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2294   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2295     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2296 
  2297 * Metis:
  2298   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2299   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2300     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2301 
  2302 * Command 'try':
  2303   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2304     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2305   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2306     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2307 
  2308 * Quickcheck:
  2309   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2310     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2311   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2312     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2313   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2314     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2315     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2316     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2317   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2318     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2319 
  2320 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2321 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2322 
  2323 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2324 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2325 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2326 
  2327 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2328 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2329 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2330 
  2331 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2332 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2333 
  2334 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2335 arithmetic.
  2336 
  2337 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2338 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2339 and lattice type classes.
  2340 
  2341 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2342 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2343 
  2344 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2345 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2346 
  2347 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2348 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2349 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2350 
  2351   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2352   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2353   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2354   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2355 
  2356 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2357 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2358 constants:
  2359 
  2360   type inat   ~> type enat
  2361   Fin         ~> enat
  2362   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2363   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2364   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2365 
  2366 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2367 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2368 
  2369 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2370 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2371 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2372 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2373 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2374 
  2375 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2376 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2377 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2378 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2379 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2380 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2381 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2382 
  2383   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2384   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2385   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2386   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2387 
  2388 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2389 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2390 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2445   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2446   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2447   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2448   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended

  2485 
  2486 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2487 result.
  2488 
  2489 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2490 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2491 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2492 
  2493 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2494 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2495 
  2496 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2497 like this:
  2498 
  2499   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2500   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2501 
  2502 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2503 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2504 layouts.
  2505 
  2506 
  2507 *** ML ***
  2508 
  2509 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2510 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2511 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2512 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2513 under external program control.
  2514 
  2515 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2516 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2517 
  2518 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2519 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2520 (better known as Proof General).
  2521 
  2522 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2523 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2524 
  2525 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2526 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2527 
  2528 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2529 (including quotes etc.).
  2530 
  2531 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2532 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2533 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2534 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2535 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2536 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2537 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2538 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2539 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2540 
  2541 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2542 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2543 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2544 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2545 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2546 
  2547 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2548 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2549 
  2550 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2551 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2552 
  2553 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2554 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2555 
  2556 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2557 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2558 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2559 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2560 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2561 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2562 proper Proof.context.
  2563 
  2564 
  2565 *** System ***
  2566 
  2567 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2568 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2569 
  2570 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2571 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2572 
  2573 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2574 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2575 
  2576   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2577   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2578   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2579   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2580   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2581 
  2582 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2583 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2584 
  2585 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2586 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2587 example:
  2588 
  2589   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2590 
  2591 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2592 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2593 
  2594 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2595 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2596 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2597 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2598 
  2599 
  2600 
  2601 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2602 ----------------------------------
  2603 
  2604 *** General ***
  2605 
  2606 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2607 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2608 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2609 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2610 like this:
  2611 
  2612   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2613 
  2614 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2615 
  2616 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2617 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2618 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2619 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2620 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2621 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2622 
  2623 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2624 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2625 the following package declarations:
  2626 
  2627   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2628   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2629 
  2630 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2631 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2632 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2633 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2634 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2635 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2636 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2637 
  2638 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2639 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2640 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2641 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2642 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2643 
  2644 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2645 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2646 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2647 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2648 
  2649 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2650 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2651 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2652 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2653 
  2654   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  2655 
  2656   eta_contract                  eta_contract
  2657   show_brackets                 show_brackets
  2658   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  2659   show_types                    show_types
  2660   show_question_marks           show_question_marks
  2661   show_consts                   show_consts
  2662   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  2663 
  2664   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  2665   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  2666   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2667 
  2668   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2669   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2670 
  2671   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2672 
  2673   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  2674   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  2675   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2676   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2677   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2678 
  2679 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2680 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2681 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2682 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2683 
  2684 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2685 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2686 
  2687   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2688   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2689 
  2690 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2691 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2692 float_token.
  2693 
  2694 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2695 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2696 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2697 
  2698 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2699 DejaVu Sans.
  2700 
  2701 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2702 
  2703 
  2704 *** Pure ***
  2705 
  2706 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2707 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2708 time.
  2709 
  2710 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2711 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2712 
  2713 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2714 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2715 
  2716 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2717 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2718 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2719 command already provided this functionality.
  2720 
  2721 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2722 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2723 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2724 without interpretations.
  2725 
  2726 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2727 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2728 
  2729 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2730 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2731 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2732 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2733 
  2734 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2735 'definition' instead.
  2736 
  2737 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2738 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2739 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2740 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2741 
  2742 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2743 constructors.
  2744 
  2745 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2746 the local file system.
  2747 
  2748 
  2749 *** HOL ***
  2750 
  2751 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2752 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2753 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2754 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2755 
  2756   declare [[coercion f]]
  2757 
  2758 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2759 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2760 
  2761   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2762 
  2763 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2764 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2765 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2766 other theories like this:
  2767 
  2768   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2769 
  2770 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2771 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2772 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2773 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2774 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2775 for examples.
  2776 
  2777 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2778 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2779 
  2780 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2781 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2782 
  2783 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2784 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2785 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2786 
  2787 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2788 functorial structure of types.
  2789 
  2790 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2791 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2792 
  2793 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2794 languages.
  2795 
  2796 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2797 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2798 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2799 
  2800 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2801 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2802 
  2803 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2804 combinators any longer.
  2805 
  2806 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2807 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2808 
  2809 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2810 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2811 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2812 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2813 
  2814   record 'a foo = ...
  2815   ...
  2816   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2817 
  2818 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2819 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2820 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2821 
  2822 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2823 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2824 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2825 
  2826 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2827 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2828 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2829 
  2830 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2831 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2832 
  2833 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2834 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2835 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2836 independently.
  2837 
  2838 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2839 counter example search.
  2840 
  2841 * Sledgehammer:
  2842   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2843     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2844     sledgehammer").
  2845   - Renamed commands:
  2846     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2847     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2848     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2849     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2850   - Renamed options:
  2851     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2852     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2853     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2854     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2855     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2856 
  2857 * Nitpick:
  2858   - Renamed options:
  2859     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2860     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2861     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2862   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2863   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2864   - Added "whack" option.
  2865   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2866   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2867   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2868   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2869     higher cardinalities.
  2870   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2871 
  2872 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2873 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2874 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2875 
  2876     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2877 
  2878 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2879 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2880 
  2881 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2882 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2883 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2884 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2885 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2886 "smt_solver".
  2887 
  2888 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2889 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2890 
  2891 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2892 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2893 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2894 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2895 
  2896 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2897   - Renamed:
  2898     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2899     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2900     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2901   - Added:
  2902     smt_verbose
  2903     smt_random_seed
  2904     smt_datatypes
  2905     smt_infer_triggers
  2906     smt_monomorph_limit
  2907     cvc3_options
  2908     remote_cvc3_options
  2909     remote_z3_options
  2910     yices_options
  2911 
  2912 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2913 header.
  2914 
  2915 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2916 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2917 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2918 
  2919   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2920 
  2921 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2922 
  2923 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2924 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2925 
  2926 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2927 
  2928 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2929 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2930 
  2931 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2932 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2933 
  2934 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2935 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2936 
  2937 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2938 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2939 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2940 
  2941 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2942 
  2943 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2944 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2945 
  2946 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2947 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2948 
  2949 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2950 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2951 for congruent(2)).
  2952 
  2953 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2954 
  2955   types
  2956     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2957     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2958 
  2959   constants

  2980     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  2981     op : ~> Set.member
  2982     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2983 
  2984 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2985 
  2986 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2987 
  2988     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2989     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2990     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2991     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2992     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  2993     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  2994     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2995     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2996 
  2997 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2998 
  2999 * More stylized fact names:
  3000 
  3001   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3002   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3003   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3004   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3005 
  3006 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3007 
  3008 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3009 
  3010   constants
  3011     null ~> List.null
  3012 
  3013   facts
  3014     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3015     null_empty ~> null_def
  3016 
  3017 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3018 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3019 generation.
  3020 
  3021 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3022 Haskell code.
  3023 
  3024 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3025 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3026 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3027 
  3028 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3029 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3030 
  3031 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3032 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3033 
  3034 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3035 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3036 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3037 
  3038 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3039 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3040 
  3041 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3042 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3043 
  3044 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3045 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3046 referred to by its qualified name.
  3047 
  3048   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3049   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3050   product ~>  Enum.product
  3051 
  3052 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3053 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3054 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3055 
  3056 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3057 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3058 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3059 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3060 
  3061 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3062 sort_key.
  3063 
  3064 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3065 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3066 
  3067 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3068 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3069 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3070 
  3071   types
  3072     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3073               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3074               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3075         (depends on your needs)
  3076 
  3077   constants
  3078      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3079      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3080      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3081 
  3082 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3083 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3084 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3085 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3086 
  3087 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3088 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3089 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3090 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3091 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3092 
  3093 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3094 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3095 
  3096 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3097 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3098 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3099 
  3100 
  3101 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3102 
  3103 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3104 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3105 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3106 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3107 compatibility.
  3108 
  3109 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3110 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3111 
  3112 
  3113 *** HOLCF ***
  3114 
  3115 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3116 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3117 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3119 
  3120 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3121 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3122 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3123 
  3124   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3125   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3126   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3127 
  3128 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3129 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3130 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3131 
  3132 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3133 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3134 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3135 domain definition now works:
  3136 
  3137   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3138 
  3139 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3140 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3141 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3142 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3143 
  3144   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3145     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3146 
  3147   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3148 
  3149 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3150 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3151 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3152 
  3153 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3154 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3155 
  3156 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3157 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3158 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3159 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3160 
  3161 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3162 
  3163 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3164 
  3165 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3166 
  3167 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3168 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3169 
  3170 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3171 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3172 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3173 
  3174 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3175 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3176 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3177 
  3178 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3179 still supported as an input translation.
  3180 
  3181 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3182 
  3183   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3184   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3185   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3186   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3187   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3188   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3189   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3190 
  3191 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3192 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3193 
  3194   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3195   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3196   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3197   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3198   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3199   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3200 
  3201 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3202 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3203 
  3204 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3205 
  3206   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3207   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3208   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3209   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3210 
  3211 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3212 
  3213 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3214 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3215 
  3216 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3217 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3288 
  3289 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3290 
  3291 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3292 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3293 
  3294 
  3295 *** ML ***
  3296 
  3297 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3298 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3299 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3300 
  3301 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3302 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3303 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3304 
  3305 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3306 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3307 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3308 
  3309 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3310 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3311 
  3312 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3313 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3314 
  3315 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3316 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3317 
  3318 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3319 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3320 
  3321 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3322 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3323 almost all situations.
  3324 
  3325 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3326 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3327 Isabelle/ML.
  3328 
  3329 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3330 meaning.
  3331 
  3332 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3333 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3334 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3335 
  3336 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3337 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3338 
  3339 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3340 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3341 
  3342 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3343 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3344 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3345 
  3346 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3347 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3348 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3349 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3350 configuration options.
  3351 
  3352 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3353 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3354 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3355 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3356 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3357 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3358 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3367 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3368 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3369 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3370 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3371 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3372 their full internal name.
  3373 
  3374 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3375 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3376 Some hints on upgrading:
  3377 
  3378   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3379     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3380     which are independent of this issue.
  3381 
  3382   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3383     provides the following special forms:
  3384 
  3385       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3386       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3387       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3388 
  3389     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3390     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3391     extra variables".
  3392 
  3393     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3394     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3395     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3396     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3397     "logic".
  3398 
  3399   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3400     antiquotations:
  3401 
  3402       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3403       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3404       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3405       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3406 
  3407   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3408     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3409     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3410     antiquotations.
  3411 
  3412 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3413 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3414 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3415 diagnose syntax problems.
  3416 
  3417 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3418 
  3419 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3420 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3421 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3422 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3423 
  3424 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3425 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3426 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3427 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3428 
  3429 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3430 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3431 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3432 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3433 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3434 
  3435 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3436 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3437 
  3438 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3439 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3440 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3441 
  3442   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3443 
  3444 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3445 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3446 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3447 
  3448 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3449 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3450 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3451 
  3452 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3453 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3454 
  3455 
  3456 *** Pure ***
  3457 
  3458 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3459 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3460 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3461 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3462 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3463 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3464 inspect proof terms.
  3465 
  3466 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3467 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3468 are added internally.  For example:
  3469 
  3470   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3471 
  3472 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3473 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3474 
  3475 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3476 
  3477 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3478 'class' instead.
  3479 
  3480 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3481 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3482 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3483 
  3484 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3485 invariants.
  3486 
  3487 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3488 user space functionality any longer.
  3489 
  3490 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3491 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3492 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3493 
  3494 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3495 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3496 
  3497 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3498 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3499 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3500 
  3501 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3502 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3503 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3504 
  3505 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3506 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3507 
  3508 
  3509 *** HOL ***
  3510 
  3511 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3512 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3513 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3514 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3515 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3516 
  3517 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3518 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3519 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3520 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3521 
  3522   fun
  3523     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3524   where
  3525     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3526 
  3527   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3528     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3529 
  3530   quotient_definition
  3531     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3532 
  3533 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3534 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3535 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3536 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3537 
  3538 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3539 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3540 
  3541 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3542 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3543 
  3544 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3545 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3546 
  3547 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3548 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3549 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3550 
  3551 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3552 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3553 
  3554 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3555 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3556 
  3557 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3558 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3559 
  3560 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3561 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3562 
  3563 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3564 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3565 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3597 
  3598 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3599 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3600 
  3601 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3602 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3603 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3604 
  3605 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3606 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3607 
  3608 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3609 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3610 
  3611 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3612 
  3613 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3614 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3615 
  3616 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3617 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3618 
  3619 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3620 
  3621 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3622 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3623 
  3624 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3625 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3626 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3627 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3628 
  3629 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3630   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3631   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3632   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3633 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3634 
  3635 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3636 lattices):
  3637 
  3638     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3675 
  3676   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3677   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3678 
  3679     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3680     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3681     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3682     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3683     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3684 
  3685 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3686 
  3687 * Refined field classes:
  3688   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3689     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3690     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3691   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3692 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3693 
  3694 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3695   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3696   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3697   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3698     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3699   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3700     equal_neg_zero.
  3701 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3702 
  3703 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3704 sets to lattices:
  3705 
  3706   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3707   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup

  3715   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3716 
  3717 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3718 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3719 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3720 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3721 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3722 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3723 
  3724 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3725 multiset order:
  3726 
  3727   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3728     <= and <;
  3729   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3730     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3731     multiset_order;
  3732   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3733     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3734     generation;
  3735   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3736     if needed.
  3737 
  3738 Renamed:
  3739 
  3740   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3741   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3742   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3743 
  3744 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3746 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3747 
  3748 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3749 
  3750 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3751 
  3752 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3753 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3754 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3784   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3785 
  3786 * Sledgehammer:
  3787   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3788     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3789     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3790     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3791     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3792     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3793     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3794   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3795   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3796     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3797   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3798     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3799     is still experimental.)
  3800   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3801     full-typed mode.
  3802   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3803 
  3804 * Nitpick:
  3805   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3806   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3807   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3808     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3809   - Added support for quotient types.
  3810   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3811     constructs.
  3812   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3813     "termination" proofs).
  3814   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3815   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3816   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3817   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3818     record getters.
  3819   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3820   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3821   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3822   - Added "atoms" option.
  3823   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3824     problems.
  3825   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3826     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3827     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3828   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3829     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3830   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3831 
  3832 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3833   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3834   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3835   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3836   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3837   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3838   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3839   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3840   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3841   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3842 
  3843 
  3844 *** HOLCF ***
  3845 
  3846 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3847 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3848 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3849 
  3850 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3851 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3852 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3853 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3854 
  3855 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3856 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3857 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3858 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3859 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3860 
  3861 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3862 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3863 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3864 
  3865 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3866 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3867 
  3868   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3869   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3870 
  3871 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3872 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3873 
  3874   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3875   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3876   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3877   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3878   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3879 
  3880 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3881 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3882 
  3883   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3884   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3885   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3886 
  3887 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3888 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3889 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3890 
  3891 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3892 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3893 
  3894 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3895 
  3896 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3897 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3898 
  3899 
  3900 *** ML ***
  3901 
  3902 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3903 
  3904     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3905     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3906 
  3907     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3908     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3909     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3910     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3911 
  3912     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3913     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3914     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3915 
  3916 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3917 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3918 
  3919 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3920 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3921 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3922 
  3923 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3924 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3925 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3926 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3927 
  3928 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3929 the context or even global references.
  3930 
  3931 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3932 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3933 
  3934 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3935 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3936 
  3937   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3938   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3939   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3940   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3941   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3942   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3943   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3944   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3945   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3946   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3947 
  3948 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3949 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3950 
  3951 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3952 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3953 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3954 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3955 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3956 
  3957 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3958 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3959 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3960 Theory_Data version.
  3961 
  3962 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3963 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3964 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3965 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3966 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3967 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3968 explicitly in rare situations.
  3969 
  3970 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3971 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3972 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3973 
  3974 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3975 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3976 
  3977 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3978 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3979 quite rare).
  3980 
  3981 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3982 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3983 
  3984 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3985 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3986 terms.
  3987 
  3988 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3989 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3990 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3991 
  3992 
  3993 *** System ***
  3994 
  3995 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3996 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3997 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3998 
  3999 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4000 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4001 respectively.
  4002 
  4003 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4004 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4005 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4006 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4007 
  4008   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4009 
  4010 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4011 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4012 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4013 component.
  4014 
  4015 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4016 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4017 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4018 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4019 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4020 the user for manual installation.
  4021 
  4022 
  4023 
  4024 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4025 -------------------------------------
  4026 
  4027 *** General ***
  4028 
  4029 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4030 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4031 
  4032 
  4033 *** Pure ***
  4034 
  4035 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4036 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4037 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4038 
  4039 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4040 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4041 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4042 
  4043 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4044 interpretation.
  4045 
  4046 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4047 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4048 
  4049 
  4050 *** Document preparation ***
  4051 
  4052 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4053 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4054 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4055 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4056 
  4057 
  4058 *** HOL ***
  4059 
  4060 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4061 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4062 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4063 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4064 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4065 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4066 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4067 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4068 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4069 
  4070 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4071 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4072 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4073 
  4074 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4075 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4076 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4077 
  4078 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4079 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4080 
  4081 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4082 
  4083 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4084 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4085 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4086 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4087 
  4088 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4089 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4090 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4091 "mirabelle" utility.
  4092 
  4093 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4094 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4095 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4096 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4097 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4098 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4099 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4100 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4101 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4102 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4103 
  4104 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4105 procedure only.
  4106 
  4107 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4108 
  4109 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4110 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4111 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4112 that fail later.
  4113 
  4114 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4115 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4116 
  4117 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4118 the same method as the approximation method.
  4119 
  4120 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4121 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4122 series expansion.
  4123 
  4124 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4125 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4126 
  4127 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4128 reals.
  4129 
  4130 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4131 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4132 
  4133 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4134 fixpoint theorem.
  4135 
  4136 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4137   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4138     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4139   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4140     accordingly
  4141   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4142     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4143   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4144     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4145 
  4146 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4147 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4148 lattice.
  4149 
  4150 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4151 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4152 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4153 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4154 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4155 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4156 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4157 
  4158 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4159   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4160     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4161   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4162     le_inf_iff
  4163   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4164     sup_aci)
  4165   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4166   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4167   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4168     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4169     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4170     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4171     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4172     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4173     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4174     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4175     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4176     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4177     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4178   - authentic syntax for
  4179     Set.Pow
  4180     Set.image
  4181   - mere abbreviations:
  4182     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4183     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4184     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4185     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4186     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4187     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4188     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4189     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4190   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4191 
  4192 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4193 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4194 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4195 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4196 
  4197 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4198 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4199 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4200 
  4201 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4202 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4203 
  4204 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4205 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4206 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4207 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4208 
  4209 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4210 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4211 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4212 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4213 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4214 
  4215 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4216 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4217 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4218 
  4219 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4220 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4221 
  4222 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4223 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4224 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4225 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4226 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4227 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4228 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4229 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4230 
  4231 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4232     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4233     code_post       replaces    code post
  4234     etc.
  4235   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4236 
  4237 * Renamed methods:
  4238     sizechange -> size_change
  4239     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4240   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4241 
  4242 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4243 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4244 
  4245 * Renamed theorems:
  4246     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4247     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4248     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4249     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4250     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4251   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4252 
  4253 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4254 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4255 
  4256 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4257 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4258 
  4259 
  4260 *** HOLCF ***
  4261 
  4262 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4263 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4264 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4265 
  4266 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4267 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4268 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4269 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4270 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4271 
  4272 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4273 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4274 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4275 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4276 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4277 
  4278 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4279 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4280 constructor are pre-configured.
  4281 
  4282 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4283 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4284 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4285 
  4286 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4287 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4288 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4289 as well.)
  4290 
  4291 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4292 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4293 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4294 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4295 examples.
  4296 
  4297 
  4298 *** ML ***
  4299 
  4300 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4301 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4302 
  4303 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4304 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4305 position, logical grouping etc.
  4306 
  4307 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4308 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4309 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4310 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4311 
  4312 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4313 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4314 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4315 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4316 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4317 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4318 
  4319 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4320 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4321 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4322 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4323 experiments with references.
  4324 
  4325 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4326 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4327 
  4328 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4329 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4330 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4331 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4332 
  4333 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4334 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4335 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4336 
  4337 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4338 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4339 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4340 
  4341 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4342 
  4343 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4344 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4345 
  4346 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4347 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4348 
  4349 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4350 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4351 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4352 
  4353 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4354 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4355 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4356 
  4357 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4358 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4359 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4360 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4361 
  4362 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4363 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4364 instead of global theory.
  4365 
  4366 
  4367 *** System ***
  4368 
  4369 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4370 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4371 usedir option -q.
  4372 
  4373 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4374 also the system manual.
  4375 
  4376 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4377 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4378 
  4379 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4380 this is always enabled.
  4381 
  4382 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4383 
  4384 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4385 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4386 currently supported on Linux only.
  4387 
  4388 
  4389 
  4390 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4391 --------------------------------
  4392 
  4393 *** General ***
  4394 
  4395 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4396 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4397 
  4398   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4399     "isatool."
  4400 
  4401   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4402     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4403 
  4404   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4405     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4406 
  4407 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4408 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4409 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4410 
  4411 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4412 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4413 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4414 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4415 via "isabelle emacs".
  4416 
  4417 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4418 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4419 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4420 
  4421 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4422 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4423 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4424 
  4425 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4426 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4427 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4428 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4429 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4430 
  4431 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4432 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4433 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4434 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4435 
  4436 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4437 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4438 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4439 
  4440 
  4441 *** Pure ***
  4442 
  4443 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4444 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4445 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4446 
  4447 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4448 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4449 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4450 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4451 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4452 
  4453 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4454 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4455 useful in locale declarations.
  4456 
  4457 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4458 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4459 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4460 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4461 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4462 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4463 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4464 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4465 no longer generated.
  4466 
  4467 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4468 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4469 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4470 
  4471 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4472 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4473 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4474 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4475 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4476 
  4477 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4478 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4479 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4480 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4481 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4482 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4483 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4484 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4485 
  4486 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4487 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4488 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4489 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4490 
  4491 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4492 
  4493 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4494 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4495 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4496 
  4497 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4498 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4499 
  4500 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4501 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4502 in HOL, write
  4503 
  4504     class foo = ...
  4505 
  4506 instead of
  4507 
  4508     class foo = type + ...
  4509 
  4510 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4511 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4512 
  4513 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4514 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4515 
  4516 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4517 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4518 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4519 
  4520 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4521 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4522 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4523 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4524 directly in regular applications.
  4525 
  4526 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4527 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4528 
  4529 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4530 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4531 
  4532 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4533 theory context.
  4534 
  4535 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4536 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4537 
  4538 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4539 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4540 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4541 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4542 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4543 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4544 
  4545   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4546 
  4547 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4548 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4549 normalization.
  4550 
  4551 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4552 addressing etc.
  4553 
  4554 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4555 
  4556   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4557   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4558 
  4559 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4560 
  4561   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4562      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4563      parts of the code generator framework).
  4564 
  4565   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4566      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4567      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4568 
  4569 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4570 
  4571 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4572 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4573 
  4574 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4575 patterns, e.g.
  4576 
  4577     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4578 
  4579 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4580 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4581 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4582 hyphen:
  4583 
  4584     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4585 
  4586 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4587 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4588 
  4589 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4590 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4591 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4592 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4593 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4594 higher-order unification.
  4595 
  4596 
  4597 *** Document preparation ***
  4598 
  4599 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4600 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4601 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4602 
  4603 
  4604 *** HOL ***
  4605 
  4606 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4607 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4608 
  4609 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4610 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4611 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4612 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4613 Main, as before.
  4614 
  4615 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4616 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4617 
  4618 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4619 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4620 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4621 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4622 
  4623 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4624 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4625 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4626 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4627 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4628 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4629 
  4630 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4631 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4632 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4633 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4634 
  4635 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4636 menu.
  4637 
  4638 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4639 (contains the empty clause).
  4640 
  4641 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4642 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4643 
  4644 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4645 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4646 
  4647 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4648 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4649 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4650 
  4651 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4652 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4653 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4654 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4655 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4656 
  4657 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4658 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4659 
  4660 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4661 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4662 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4663 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4664 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4665 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4666 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4667 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4668 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4669 
  4670 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4671 
  4672 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4673 
  4674 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4675 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4676 
  4677 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4678 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4679 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4680 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4681 
  4682 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4683 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4684 
  4685     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4686     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4687     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4688     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4689     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4690     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4691     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4692     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4693 
  4694 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4695 theory Set.
  4696 
  4697 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4698 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4699 
  4700 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4701 
  4702 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4703 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4704 
  4705 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4706 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4707 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4708 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4709 allowed. For examples see
  4710 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4711 
  4712 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4713 
  4714 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4715 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4716 
  4717 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4718 structure:

  4771 
  4772 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4773 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4774 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4775 
  4776 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4777 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4778 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4779 
  4780 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4781 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4782 
  4783 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4784 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4785 
  4786 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4787 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4788 proofs, e.g.
  4789 
  4790   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4791 
  4792 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4793 
  4794 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4795 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4796 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4797 
  4798 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4799 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4800 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4801 
  4802 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4803 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4804 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4805 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4806 
  4807 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4808 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4809 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4810 preorder_class.*.
  4811 
  4812 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4813 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4814 
  4815 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4816 
  4817   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4818 
  4819 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4820 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4821 fold_image.
  4822 
  4823 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4824 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4825 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4826 the former will disappear at some point.
  4827 
  4828 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4829 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4830 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4831 
  4832 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4833 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4834 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4835 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4836 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4837 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4838 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4839 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4840 
  4841 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4842 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4843 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4844 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4845 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4846 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4847 
  4848     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4849     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4850     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4851     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4852     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4853     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4854     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4855 
  4856 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4857 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4858 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4859 
  4860 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4861 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4862 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4863 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq

  4865 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4866 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4867 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4868 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4869 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4870 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4871 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4872 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4873 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4874 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4875 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4876 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4877 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4878 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4879 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4880 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4881 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4882 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4883 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4884 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4885 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4886 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4887 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4888 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4889 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4890 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4891 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4892 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4893 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4894 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4895 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4896 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4897 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4898 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4899 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4900 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4901 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4902 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4903 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4904 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4905 
  4906 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4907 
  4908 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4909 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4910 
  4911 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4912 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4913 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4914 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4915 
  4916 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4917 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4918 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4919 theory RealVector.
  4920 
  4921 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4922 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4923 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4924 and inner products are included.
  4925 
  4926 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4927 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4928 supported.
  4929 
  4930 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4931 first diagonalization argument.
  4932 
  4933 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4934 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4935 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4936 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4937 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4938 
  4939     hide (open) const gcd
  4940     abbreviation gcd where
  4941       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4942     notation (output)
  4943       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4944 
  4945 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4946 
  4947 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4948 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4949 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4950 
  4951 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4952 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4953 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4954 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4955 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4956 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4957 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4958 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4959 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4960 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4961 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4962 cases.
  4963 
  4964 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4965 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4966 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4967 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4968 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4969 
  4970     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4971     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4972     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4973     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4974     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4975 
  4976 
  4977 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4978 
  4979 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4980 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4981 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4982 
  4983 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4984 
  4985 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4986 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4987 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4988 
  4989 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4990 
  4991 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4992 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4993 least_carrier ~> least_closed

  5000 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5001 
  5002 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5003 
  5004 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5005 theory targets.
  5006 
  5007 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5008 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5009 'inductive' etc.
  5010 
  5011 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5012 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5013 
  5014 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5015 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5016 
  5017 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5018 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5019 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5020 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5021 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5022 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5023 the algorithm W:
  5024 
  5025  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5026  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5027          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5028 
  5029 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5030 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5031 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5032 
  5033 
  5034 *** HOLCF ***
  5035 
  5036 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5037 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5038 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5039 
  5040 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5041 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5042 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5043 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5044 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5045 
  5046 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5047 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5048 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5049 
  5050 
  5051 *** ZF ***
  5052 
  5053 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5054 
  5055 
  5056 *** ML ***
  5057 
  5058 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5059 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5060 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5061 5.2.1!
  5062 
  5063 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5064 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5065 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5066 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5067 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5068 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5069 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5070 
  5071 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5072 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5073 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5074 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5075 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5076 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5077 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5078 
  5079 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5080 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5081 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5082 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5083 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5084 
  5085 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5086 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5087 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5088 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5089 Method.add_method.
  5090 
  5091 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5092 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5093 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5094 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5095 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5096 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5097 
  5098 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5099 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5100 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5101 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5102 examples.
  5103 
  5104 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5105 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5106 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5107 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5108 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5109 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5110 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5111 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5112 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5113 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5114 
  5115 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5116 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5117 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5118 
  5119 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5120 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5121 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5122 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5123 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5124 resort for legacy applications.
  5125 
  5126 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5127 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5128 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5129 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5130 explicit runtime argument.
  5131 
  5132 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5133 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5134 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5135 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5136 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5137 
  5138 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5139 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5140 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5141 theory state.
  5142 
  5143 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5144 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5145 
  5146   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5147   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5148   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5149   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5150   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5151   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5152   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5153   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5154   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5155   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5156 
  5157 
  5158 *** System ***
  5159 
  5160 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5161 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5162 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5163 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5164 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5165 
  5166 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5167 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5168 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5169 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5170 
  5171 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5172 
  5173 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5174 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5175 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5176 prover operations.
  5177 
  5178 
  5179 
  5180 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5181 -------------------------------
  5182 
  5183 *** General ***
  5184 
  5185 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5186 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5187 
  5188 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5189 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5190 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5191 provides a proper context already.
  5192 
  5193 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5194 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5195 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5196 
  5197 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5198 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5199 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5200 swap theory imports.
  5201 
  5202 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5203 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5204 
  5205 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5206 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5207 white space without escapes.
  5208 
  5209 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5210 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5211 "foo_bar".
  5212 
  5213 
  5214 *** Pure ***
  5215 
  5216 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5217 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5218 
  5219 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5220 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5221 
  5222 (1) unused_thms
  5223      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5224 
  5225 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5226      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5227      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5228 
  5229 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5230      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5231      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5232      their ancestors.
  5233 
  5234 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5235 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5236 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5237 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5238 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5239 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5240 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5241 
  5242 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5243 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5244 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5245 
  5246 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5247 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5248 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5249 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5250 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5251 
  5252 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5253 
  5254 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5255 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5256 update of theories within ML code.
  5257 
  5258 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5259 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5260 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5261 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5262 
  5263 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5264 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5265 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5266 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5267 
  5268 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5269 
  5270 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5271 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5272 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5273 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5274 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5275 
  5276 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5277 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5278 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5279 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5280 situations.
  5281 
  5282 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5283 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5284 proof text.
  5285 
  5286 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5287 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5288 
  5289 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5290 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5291 predicates.
  5292 
  5293 
  5294 *** Document preparation ***
  5295 
  5296 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5297 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5298 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5299 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5300 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5301 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5302 
  5303 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5304 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5305 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5306 
  5307 
  5308 *** HOL ***
  5309 
  5310 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5311 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5312 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5313 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5314 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5315 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5316 
  5317 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5318 with multithreading.
  5319 
  5320 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5321 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5322 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5323 
  5324 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5325 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5326 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5327 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5328 
  5329 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5330 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5331 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5332 and makes them available separately.  See
  5333 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5334 
  5335 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5336 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5337 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5338 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5339 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5340 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5341 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5342 the declared rules.
  5343 
  5344 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5345 
  5346   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5347 
  5348 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5349 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5350 
  5351 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5352 
  5353   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5354 
  5355   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5356     definitions on => and bool.
  5357 
  5358   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5359     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5360     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5361 
  5362       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5363       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5364       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5365       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5366       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5367       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5368       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5369       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5370 
  5371   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5372     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5373     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5374 
  5375   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5376     The proof pattern
  5377 
  5378       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5379       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5380 
  5381     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5382     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5383 
  5384       have "EX S. P S"
  5385       proof
  5386         show "P S" <...>
  5387       qed
  5388 
  5389   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5390     The proof pattern
  5391 
  5392       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5393       also have "S = T" <...>
  5394       finally have "P T" .
  5395 
  5396     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5397     must be replaced by something like
  5398 
  5399       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5400       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5401       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5402 
  5403   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5404     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5405 
  5406       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5407 
  5408     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5409     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5410     type of the form
  5411 
  5412       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5413 
  5414     rather than
  5415 
  5416       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5417 
  5418 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5419 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5420 
  5421 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5422 
  5423 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5424 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5425 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5426 
  5427 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5428 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5429 
  5430 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5431 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5432 
  5433 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5434 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5435 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5436 
  5437 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5438 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5439 
  5440   less_trans
  5441   less_linear
  5442   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5443   le_less_trans
  5444   less_le_trans
  5445   less_not_sym
  5446   less_asym
  5447 
  5448 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5449 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5450 and different variable names.
  5451 
  5452 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5453 
  5454 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5455 finite maps.
  5456 
  5457 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5458 
  5459 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5460 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5461 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5462 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5463 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5464 accordingly.
  5465 
  5466 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5467 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5468 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5469 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5470 
  5471 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5472 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5473 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5474 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5475 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5476 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5477 
  5478 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5479 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5480 
  5481 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5482 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5483 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5484 
  5485 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5486 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5487 
  5488 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5489 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5490 
  5491 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5492 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5493 
  5494 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5495 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5496 
  5497 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5498 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5499 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5500 
  5501 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5502 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5503 
  5504 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5505 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5506 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5507 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5508 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5509 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5510 
  5511 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5512 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5513 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5514 
  5515 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5516 
  5517 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5518 
  5519 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5520 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5521 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5522 
  5523 
  5524 *** ZF ***
  5525 
  5526 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5527 same session:
  5528 
  5529   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5530   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5531   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5532   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5533   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5534   List      -> List_ZF
  5535   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5536 
  5537 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5538 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5539 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5540 
  5541 
  5542 *** ML ***
  5543 
  5544 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5545 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5546 
  5547 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5548 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5549 
  5550 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5551 
  5552 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5553 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5554 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5555 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5556 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5557 
  5558 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5559 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5560 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5561 
  5562 
  5563 *** System ***
  5564 
  5565 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5566 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5567 
  5568 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5569 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5570 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5571 
  5572 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5573 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5574 
  5575 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5576 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5577 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5578 
  5579 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5580 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5581 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5582 
  5583 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5584 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5585 
  5586 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5587 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5588 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5589 script.
  5590 
  5591 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5592 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5593 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5594 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5595 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5596 
  5597 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5598 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5599 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5600 
  5601 
  5602 
  5603 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5604 -----------------------------------
  5605 
  5606 *** General ***
  5607 
  5608 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5609 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5610 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5611 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5612 
  5613 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5614 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5615 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5616 
  5617 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5618 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5619 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5620 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5621 
  5622 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5623 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5624 quotes.
  5625 
  5626 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5627 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5628 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5629 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5630 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5631 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5632 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5633 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5634 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5635 
  5636 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5637 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5638 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5639 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5640 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5641 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5642 
  5643 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5644 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5645 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5646 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5647 
  5648 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5649 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5650 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5651 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5652 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5653 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5654 
  5655 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5656 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5657 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5658 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5659 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5660 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5661 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5662 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5663 
  5664 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5665 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5666 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5667 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5668 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5669 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5670 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5671 
  5672 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5673 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5674 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5675 
  5676 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5677 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5678 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5679 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5680 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5681 limit is imposed.
  5682 
  5683 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5684 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5685 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5686 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5687 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5688 and scalability.
  5689 
  5690 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5691 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5692 
  5693 
  5694 *** Document preparation ***
  5695 
  5696 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5697 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5698 current context.
  5699 
  5700 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5701 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5702 
  5703 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5704 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5705 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5706 
  5707 
  5708 *** Pure ***
  5709 
  5710 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5711 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5712 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5713 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5714 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5715 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5716 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5717 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5718 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5719 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5720 
  5721 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5722 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5723 sketch:
  5724 
  5725     internal compilation:
  5726         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5727     writing SML code to a file:
  5728         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5729     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5730         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5731     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5732         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5733 
  5734     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5735         method ``eval''
  5736 
  5737 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5738 
  5739 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5740 
  5741     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5742     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5743     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5744     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5745 
  5746 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5747 
  5748     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5749       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5750 
  5751     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5752       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5753 
  5754     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5755       {(target)}+
  5756         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5757 
  5758     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5759       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5760         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5761 
  5762 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5763 
  5764 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5765 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5766 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5767 codegen".
  5768 
  5769 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5770 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5771 annotations).
  5772 
  5773 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5774 syntax.
  5775 
  5776 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5777 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5778 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5779 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5780 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5781 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5782 
  5783 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5784 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5785 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5786 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5787 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5788 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5789 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5790 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5791 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5792 equations, see section "definitions".
  5793 
  5794 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5795 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5796 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5797 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5798 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5799 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5800 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5801 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5802 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5803 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5804 
  5805 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5806 configuration options:
  5807 
  5808   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5809   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5810   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5811   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5812   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5813   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5814   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5815   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5816   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5817 
  5818 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5819 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5820 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5821 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5822 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5823 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5824 order.
  5825 
  5826 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5827 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5828 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5829 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5830 context encountered later on.
  5831 
  5832 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5833 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5834 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5835 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5836 
  5837 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5838 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5839 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5840 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5841 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5842 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5843 
  5844 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5845 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5846 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5847 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5848 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5849 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5850 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5851 more permissive.
  5852 
  5853 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5854 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5855 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5856 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5857 maintainability of proof texts.
  5858 
  5859 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5860 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5861 
  5862   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5863   then guess x and y by clarify
  5864 
  5865 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5866 proof tools being involved here.
  5867 
  5868 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5869 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5870 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5871 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5872 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5873 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5874 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5875 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5876 
  5877 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5878 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5879 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5880 
  5881   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5882   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5883   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5884   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5885 
  5886 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5887 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5888 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5889 
  5890 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5891 both named and unnamed ones.
  5892 
  5893 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5894 
  5895   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5896 
  5897 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5898 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5899 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5900 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5901 
  5902 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5903 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5904 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5905 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5906 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5907 
  5908 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5909 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5910 
  5911 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5912 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5913 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5914 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5915 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5916 originally first one.
  5917 
  5918 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5919 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5920 expected.
  5921 
  5922 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5923 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5924 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5925 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5926 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5927 
  5928   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5929     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5930     obtains x where "P x"
  5931 
  5932   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5933     assumes "A & B"
  5934     obtains A and B
  5935 
  5936   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5937     assumes "A | B"
  5938     obtains
  5939       A
  5940     | B
  5941 
  5942 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5943 explicitly:
  5944 
  5945   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5946     obtains "~ thesis"
  5947 
  5948   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5949     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5950 
  5951 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5952 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5953 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5954 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5955 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5956 case_names).
  5957 
  5958 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5959 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5960 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5961 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5962 
  5963 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5964 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5965 top-level lemma.
  5966 
  5967 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5968 introduction rule (default "that").
  5969 
  5970 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5971 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5972 to occur.
  5973 
  5974 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5975 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5976 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5977 representations independently of name spaces.
  5978 
  5979 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5980 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5981 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5982 
  5983 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5984 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5985 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5986 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5987 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5988 current context.
  5989 
  5990 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5991 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5992 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5993 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5994 
  5995   axiomatization
  5996     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5997     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5998 
  5999   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6000   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6001 
  6002   abbreviation
  6003     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6004     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6005 
  6006 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6007 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6008 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6009 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6010 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6011 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6012 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6013 
  6014 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6015 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6016 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6017 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6018 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6019 
  6020 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6021 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6022 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6023 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6024 
  6025 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6026 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6027 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6028 
  6029   definition "K x _ = x"
  6030 
  6031   inductive conj for A B
  6032   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6033 
  6034 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6035 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6036 abbreviations on output.
  6037 
  6038 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6039 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6040 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6041 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6042 
  6043 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6044 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6045 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6046 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6047 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6048 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6049 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6050 
  6051 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6052 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6053 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6054 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6055 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6056 
  6057 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6058 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6059 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6060 
  6061 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6062 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6063 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6064 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6065 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6066 
  6067   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6068     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6069 
  6070 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6071 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6072 partial_order.
  6073 
  6074 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6075 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6076 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6077 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6078 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6079 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6080 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6081 examples.
  6082 
  6083 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6084 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6085 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6086 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6087 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6088 
  6089 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6090 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6091 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6092 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6093 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6094 
  6095   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6096   (induct set: foo bar)
  6097   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6098   (induct type: foo bar)
  6099 
  6100 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6101 new format.
  6102 
  6103 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6104 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6105 
  6106 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6107 considered a legacy feature.
  6108 
  6109 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6110 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6111 
  6112 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6113 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6114 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6115 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6116   
  6117 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6118 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6119 manipulating the claset.
  6120 
  6121 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6122 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6123 least one premise.
  6124 
  6125 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6126 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6127 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6128 rule steps.
  6129 
  6130 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6131 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6132 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6133 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6134 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6135 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6136 
  6137 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6138 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6139 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6140 
  6141 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6142 the graph browser tool.
  6143 
  6144 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6145 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6146 
  6147 
  6148 *** HOL ***
  6149 
  6150 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6151 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6152 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6153 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6154 multi-threading.
  6155   
  6156 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6157 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6158 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6159 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6160 work with multi-threading.
  6161 
  6162 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6163 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6164 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6165 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6166 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6167 
  6168 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6169 
  6170 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6171 equality.
  6172 
  6173 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6174 the new 'class' package:
  6175 
  6176     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6177     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6178     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  6179     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  6180     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  6181     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  6182     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  6183     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times

  6194     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  6195     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6196 
  6197 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6198 
  6199 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6200 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6201 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6202 names.
  6203 
  6204 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6205 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6206 
  6207 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6208 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6209 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6210 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6211 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6212 
  6213 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6214 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6215 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6216 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6217 
  6218 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6219 
  6220 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6221 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6222 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6223 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6224 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6225 
  6226 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6227 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6228 
  6229 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6230 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6231 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6232 
  6233 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6234 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6235 
  6236 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6237 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6238 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6239 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6240 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6241 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6242 in the current context.
  6243 
  6244 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6245 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6246 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6247 
  6248 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6249 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6250 
  6251 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6252 
  6253     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6254     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6255 
  6256     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6257       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6258     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6259     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6260 
  6261     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6262     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6263 
  6264   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  6267     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  6366 
  6367 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6368 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6369 
  6370 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6371 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6372 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6373 "*.size".
  6374 
  6375 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6376 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6377 
  6378 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6379 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6380 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6381 
  6382 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6383 
  6384 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6385 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6386 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6387 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6388 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6389 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6390 numerals on all operations.
  6391 
  6392 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6393 
  6394 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6395 
  6396 * Code generator library theories:
  6397   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6398     languages.
  6399   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6400     languages.
  6401   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6402     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6403   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6404   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6405     denominator).
  6406   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6407     representable by rational numbers.
  6408   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6409     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6410     includes Code_Integer.
  6411   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6412     target-language built-in integers.
  6413   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6414     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6415 
  6416 * New package for inductive predicates
  6417 
  6418   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6419 
  6420     inductive
  6421       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6422       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6423     where
  6424       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6425     | ...
  6426 
  6427   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6428 
  6429     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6430 
  6431     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6432     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6433 
  6434     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6435     intros
  6436       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6437       ...
  6438 
  6439   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6440   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6441 
  6442     inductive_set
  6443       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6444       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6445     where
  6446       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6447     | ...
  6448 
  6449   or
  6450 
  6451     inductive_set
  6452       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6453       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6454       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6455     where
  6456       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6457     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6458     | ...
  6459 
  6460   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6461 
  6462   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6463   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6464 
  6465   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6466 
  6467   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6468     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6469     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6470     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6471     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6472 
  6473   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6474     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6475     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6476     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6477     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6478     statements of the form
  6479 
  6480       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6481 
  6482     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6483     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6484 
  6485       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6486 
  6487   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6488 
  6489       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6490         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6491         ==> ... ==> P
  6492 
  6493     for predicates and
  6494 
  6495       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6496         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6497         ==> ... ==> P
  6498 
  6499     for sets rather than
  6500 
  6501       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6502         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6503         ==> ... ==> P
  6504 
  6505     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6506     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6507     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6508 
  6509   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6510     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6511     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6512 
  6513 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6514 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6515 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6516 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6517 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6518 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6519 
  6520 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6521 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6522 
  6523 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6524 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6525 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6526 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6527 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6528 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6529 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6530 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6531 variable.
  6532 
  6533 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6534 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6535 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6536 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6537   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6538   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6539 
  6540 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6541 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6542 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6543 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6544 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6545 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6546 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6547 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6548 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6549 
  6550 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6551 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6552 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6553 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6554 rat, etc.
  6555 
  6556 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6557 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6558 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6559 
  6560 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6561 
  6562 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6563 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6564 
  6565 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6566 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6567 
  6568 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6569 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6570 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6571 
  6572 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6573 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6574 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6575 
  6576 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6577 
  6578 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6579 
  6580 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6581 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6582 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6583 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6584 
  6585 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6586 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6587 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6588 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6589 
  6590 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6591 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6592 algebraic operations.
  6593 
  6594 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6595 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6596 
  6597 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6598 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6599 
  6600 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6601 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6602 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6603 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6604 adapted.
  6605  
  6606 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6607 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6608 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6609 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6610 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6611 
  6612 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6613 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6614 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6615 
  6616 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6617 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6618 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6619 
  6620 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6621 
  6622 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6623 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6624 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6625   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6626       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6627   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6628   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6629   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6630 
  6631 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6632 
  6633 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6634 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6635 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6636 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6637 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6638 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6639 
  6640 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6641 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6642 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6643 
  6644 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6645 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6646 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6647 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6648 
  6649 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6650 
  6651 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6652 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6653 
  6654 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6655 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6656 
  6657 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6658 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6659 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6660 
  6661 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6662 True/False.
  6663 
  6664 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6665 
  6666 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6667 
  6668 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6669 ``rule'' method.
  6670 
  6671 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6672 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6673 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6674 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6675 
  6676 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6677 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6678 
  6679 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6680 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6681 
  6682 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6683 Library.
  6684 
  6685 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6686 
  6687 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6688 as greatest fixed-point.
  6689 
  6690 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6691 association lists.
  6692 
  6693 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6694 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6695 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6696 
  6697 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6698 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6699 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6700 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6701 behavior.
  6702 
  6703 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6704 
  6705 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6706 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6707 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6708 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6709 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6710 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6711 
  6712 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6713 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6714 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6715 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6716 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6717 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6718 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6719 
  6720 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6721 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6722 
  6723 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6724 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6725 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6726 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6727 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6728 
  6729 
  6730 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6731 
  6732 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6733 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6734 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6735 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6736 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6737 
  6738 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6739 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6740 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6741 
  6742 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6743 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6744 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6745 
  6746 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6747 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6748 
  6749 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6750 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6751 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6752 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6768   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6769 
  6770 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6771 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6772 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6773 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6774

  6783   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6784 
  6785 
  6786 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6787 
  6788 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6789 
  6790 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6792 
  6793 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6794 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6795 
  6796 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6797 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6798 of algebraic structures.
  6799 
  6800 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6801 
  6802 
  6803 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6804 
  6805 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6806 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6807 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6808 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6809 
  6810 
  6811 *** ML ***
  6812 
  6813 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6814 (even on SML/NJ).
  6815 
  6816 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6817 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6818 compile-time.  For example:
  6819 
  6820 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6821 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6822 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6823 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6824 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6825 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6826 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6827 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6828 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6829 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6830 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6831 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6832 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6833 ML {* @{context} *}
  6834 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6835 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6836 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6837 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6838 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6839 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6840 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6841 
  6842 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6843 
  6844 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6845 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6846 
  6847 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6848 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6849 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6850 
  6851 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6852 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6853 
  6854 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6855 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6856 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6857 
  6858 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6859 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6860 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6861 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6862 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6863 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6864 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6865 declarations and definitions.
  6866 
  6867 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6868 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6869 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6870 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6871 
  6872 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6873 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6874 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6875 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6876 
  6877 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6878 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6879 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6880 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6881 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6882 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6883 
  6884 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6885 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6886 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6887 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6888 attributes, methods, etc.
  6889 
  6890 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6891 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6892 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6893 fold_map combinators.
  6894 
  6895 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6896 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6897 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6898 derivation.
  6899 
  6900 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6901 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6902 achieve the old behaviour.
  6903 
  6904 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6905 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6906 statements.
  6907 
  6908 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6909 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6910 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6911 
  6912 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6913 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6914 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6915 
  6916   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6917   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6918   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6919 
  6920 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6921 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6922 
  6923 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6924 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6925 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6926 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6927 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6928 
  6929 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6930 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6931 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6932 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6933 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6934 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6935 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6936 in a locale context).
  6937 
  6938 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6939 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6940 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6941 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6942 
  6943 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6944 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6945 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6946 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6947 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6948 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6949 
  6950 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6951 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6952 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6953 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6954 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6955 
  6956   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6957 
  6958 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6959 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6960 this:
  6961 
  6962   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6963 
  6964 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6965 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6966 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6967 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6968 
  6969 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6970 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6971 
  6972 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6973 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6974 
  6975 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6976 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6977 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6978 batch mode.
  6979 
  6980 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6981 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6982 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6983 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6984 
  6985 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6986 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6987 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6988 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6989 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6990 
  6991 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6992 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6993 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6994 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6995 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6996 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6997 
  6998 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6999 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7000 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7001 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7002 
  7003 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7004 "Trueprop" etc.
  7005 
  7006 
  7007 *** System ***
  7008 
  7009 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7010 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7011 Isabelle installations.
  7012 
  7013 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7014 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7015 code.
  7016 
  7017 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7018 
  7019 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7020 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7021 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7022 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7023 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7024 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7025 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7026 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7027 Implementation manual.
  7028 
  7029 
  7030 
  7031 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7032 ----------------------------------
  7033 
  7034 *** General ***
  7035 
  7036 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7037 
  7038   theory <name>
  7039   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7040   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7041   begin
  7042 
  7043 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7044 
  7045   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7046 
  7047 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7048 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7049 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7050 
  7051 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7052 relative and absolute paths.
  7053 
  7054 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7055 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7056 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7057 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7058 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7059 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7060 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7061 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7062 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7063 
  7064   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7065 
  7066 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7067 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7068 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7069 
  7070 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7071 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7072 
  7073 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7074 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7075 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7076 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7077 
  7078   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7079   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7080 
  7081 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7082 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7083 faster.
  7084 
  7085 
  7086 *** Document preparation ***
  7087 
  7088 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7089 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7090 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7091 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7092 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7093 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7094 
  7095 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7096 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7097 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7098 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7099 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7100 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7101 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7102 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7103 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7104 \isadroptag.
  7105 
  7106 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7107 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7108 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7109 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7110 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7111 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7112 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7113 specified above.
  7114 
  7115 * Several new antiquotations:
  7116 
  7117   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7118 
  7119   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7120 
  7121   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7122   argument is a known logical constant;
  7123 
  7124   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7125   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7126 
  7127   @{ML text}
  7128 
  7129 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7130 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7131 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7132 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7133 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7134 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7135 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7136 
  7137 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7138 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7139 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7140 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7141 
  7142 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7143 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7144 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7145 
  7146 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7147 a proof context.
  7148 
  7149 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7150 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7151 
  7152 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7153 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7154 
  7155 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7156 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7157 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7158 
  7159 
  7160 *** Pure ***
  7161 
  7162 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7163 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7164 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7165 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7166 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7167 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7168 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7169 
  7170 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7171 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7172 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7173 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7174 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7175 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7176 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7177 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7178 
  7179 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7180 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7181 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7182 
  7183 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7184 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7185 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7186 
  7187 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7188 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7189 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7190 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7191 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7192 
  7193 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7194 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7195 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7196 axclasses vs. locales.
  7197 
  7198 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7199 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7200 
  7201 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7202 marks in schematic variable names.
  7203 
  7204 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7205 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7206 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7207 
  7208   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7209     by simp
  7210 
  7211 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7212 
  7213 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7214 annotations as "(00...)".
  7215 
  7216 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7217 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7218 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7219 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7220 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7221 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7222 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7223 
  7224 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7225 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7226 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7227 specifications.
  7228 
  7229 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7230 locally fixed variables as well.
  7231 
  7232 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7233 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7234 Limit.
  7235 
  7236 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7237 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7238 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7239 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7240 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7241 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7242 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7243 
  7244 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7245 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7246 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7247 
  7248 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7249 
  7250 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7251 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7252 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7253 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7254 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7255 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7256 
  7257 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7258 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7259 
  7260 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7261 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7262 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7263 
  7264 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7265 
  7266 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7267 theory development.
  7268 
  7269 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7270 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7271 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7272 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7273 
  7274 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7275 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7276 quoted when used as identifier.
  7277 
  7278 
  7279 *** Locales ***
  7280 
  7281 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7282 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7283 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7284 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7285 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7286 commands is a follows:
  7287 
  7288   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7289   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7290   (3) interpret expr inst
  7291 
  7292 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7293 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7294 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7295 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7296 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7297 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7298 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7299 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7300 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7301 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7302 
  7303 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7304 'interpret' instead.
  7305 
  7306 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7307 parameters.
  7308 
  7309 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7310 redeclaration.
  7311 
  7312 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7313 
  7314 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7315 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7316 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7317 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7318 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7319 
  7320 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7321 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7322 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7323 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7324 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7325 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7326 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7327 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7328 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7329 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7330 
  7331 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7332 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7333 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7334 
  7335 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7336 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7337 
  7338 
  7339 *** Provers ***
  7340 
  7341 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7342 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7343 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7344 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7345 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7346 
  7347 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7348 and quasi orders.
  7349 
  7350 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7351 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7352 
  7353 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7354 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7355 
  7356 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7357 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7358 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7359 
  7360 
  7361 *** HOL ***
  7362 
  7363 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7364 
  7365   syntax (epsilon)
  7366     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7367 
  7368 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7369 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7370 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7371 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7372 
  7373 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7374 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7375 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7376 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7377 
  7378 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7379 instead of ":".
  7380 
  7381 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7382 
  7383   Old       New
  7384   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7385   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7386   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7387   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7388   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7389 
  7390 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7391 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7392 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7393 
  7394   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7395   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7396 
  7397 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7398 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7399 interface.
  7400 
  7401 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7402 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7403 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7404 be a tuple pattern.
  7405 
  7406 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7407 
  7408   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7409   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7410   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7411   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7412 
  7413 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7414 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7415 
  7416 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7417 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7418 (insert F x)'.
  7419 
  7420 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7421 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7422 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7423 
  7424 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7425 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7426 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7427 
  7428 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7429 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7430 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7431 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7432 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7433 
  7434 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7435 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7436 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7437 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7438 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7439 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7440 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7441 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7442 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7443 
  7444 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7445 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7446 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7447 quite long.
  7448 
  7449 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7450 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7451 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7452 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7453 
  7454 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7455 type-variables in the term.
  7456 
  7457 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7458 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7459 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7460 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7461 goals than previously.
  7462 
  7463 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7464 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7465 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7466 just like y <= x.
  7467 
  7468 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7469 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7470 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7471 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7472 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7473 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7474 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7475 
  7476 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7477 
  7478 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7479 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7480 
  7481 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7482 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7483 inequalities.
  7484 
  7485 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7486 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7487 
  7488   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7489   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7490   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  7491   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  7492   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  7493   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  7494   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7495   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7496   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7497   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7498   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7499 
  7500 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7501      
  7502      zero_le_square

  7515 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7516 
  7517 * Theory List:
  7518 
  7519 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7520 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7521 
  7522   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)

  7527 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7528 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.

  7530 
  7531 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7532 
  7533 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7534 integers in the reals.
  7535 
  7536 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7537 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7538 
  7539   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7540   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])

  7542   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7543   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7544 
  7545 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7546 
  7547 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7548 
  7549 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7550 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7551 
  7552   hypreal = real star
  7553   hypnat = nat star
  7554   hcomplex = complex star
  7555 
  7556 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7557 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7558 
  7559   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex

  7573 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7574 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7600 
  7601 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7602 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7603 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7604 
  7605   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7606   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  7693 
  7694 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7695 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7696 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7697 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7698 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7699 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7700 
  7701 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7702 
  7703 
  7704 *** HOLCF ***
  7705 
  7706 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7707 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7708 type-inference.
  7709 
  7710 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7711 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7712 instead of exponential time).
  7713 
  7714 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7715 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7716 
  7717   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7718 
  7719 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7720 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7721 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7722 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7723 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7724 syntax and examples.
  7725 
  7726 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7727 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7728 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7729 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7730 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7731 
  7732 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7733 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7734 
  7735   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7736   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7737   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7738   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7739   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7740   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7741 
  7742 
  7743 *** ZF ***
  7744 
  7745 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7746 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7747 of a homomorphism).
  7748 
  7749 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7750 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7751 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7752 
  7753 
  7754 *** Cube ***
  7755 
  7756 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7757 theories.
  7758 
  7759 
  7760 *** ML ***
  7761 
  7762 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7763 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7764 
  7765 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7766 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7767 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7768 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7769 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7770 
  7771 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7772 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7773 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7774 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7775 
  7776 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7777 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7778 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7779 
  7780     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7781     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7782     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7783     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7784     seq fs = List.app fs
  7785     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7786     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7787 
  7788 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7789 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7790 
  7791   x |> f                f #> g
  7792   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7793 
  7794 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7795 
  7796   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7797   infix 2 ?;
  7798   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7799   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7800 
  7801 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7802 infix operators.
  7803 
  7804 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7805 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7806 example:
  7807 
  7808   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7809     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7810 
  7811   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7812     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7813 
  7814   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7815     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7816 
  7817   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7818     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7819 
  7820 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7821 available:
  7822 
  7823   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7824   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7825   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7826   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7827 
  7828 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7829 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7830 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7831 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7832 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7833 
  7834   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7835   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7836   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7837 
  7838 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7839 
  7840   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7841   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7842 
  7843 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7844 Naive rewrites:
  7845 
  7846   make_keylist = AList.make
  7847   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7848 
  7849 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7850   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7851 
  7852     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7853     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7854 
  7855 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7856   Naive rewrites:
  7857 
  7858     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7859     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7860 
  7861 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7862 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7863 lists.
  7864 
  7865 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7866 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7867 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7868 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7869 
  7870 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7871 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7872 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7873 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7874 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7875 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7876 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7877 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7878 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7879 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7880 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7881 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7882 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7883 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7884 Output.raw have no effect.
  7885 
  7886 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7887 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7888 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7889 
  7890 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7891 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7892 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7893 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7894 
  7895 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7896 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7897 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7898 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7899 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7900 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7901 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7902 
  7903 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7904 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7905 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7906 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7907 
  7908 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7909 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7910 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7911 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7912 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7913 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7914 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7915 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7916 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7917 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7918 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7919 
  7920 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7921 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7922 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7923 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7924 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7925 with earlier declarations.
  7926 
  7927 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7928 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7929 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7930 
  7931 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7932 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7933 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7934 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7935 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7936 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7937 
  7938   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7939     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7940 
  7941   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7942     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7943 
  7944   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7945     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7946     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7947     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7948 
  7949 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7950 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7951 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7952 
  7953 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7954 
  7955 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7956 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7957 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7958 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7959 
  7960 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7961 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7962 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7963 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7964 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7965 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7966 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7967 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7968 
  7969 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7970 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7971 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7972 
  7973 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7974 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7975 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7976 
  7977 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7978 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7979 
  7980   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7981   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7982   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7983   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7984 
  7985 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7986 
  7987 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7988 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7989 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7990 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7991 (both increase the runtime).
  7992 
  7993 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7994 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7995 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7996 
  7997 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7998 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7999 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8000 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8001 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8002 for further details.
  8003 
  8004 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8005 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8006 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8007 scripts for the time being.
  8008 
  8009 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8010 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8011 
  8012   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8013   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8014 
  8015 
  8016 *** System ***
  8017 
  8018 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8019 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8020 
  8021 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8022 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8023 
  8024 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8025 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8026 
  8027 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8028 distribution being used.
  8029 
  8030 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8031 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8032 theories.
  8033 
  8034 
  8035 
  8036 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8037 --------------------------------
  8038 
  8039 *** General ***
  8040 
  8041 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8042   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8043 
  8044 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8045   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8046   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8047   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8048   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8049   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8050   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8051   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8052   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8053   existing theory and ML files.
  8054 
  8055 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8056 
  8057 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8058   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8059   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8060   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8061 
  8062 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8063   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8064   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8065   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8066 
  8067 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8068   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8069   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8070 
  8071 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8072   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8073   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8074   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8075   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8076 
  8077 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8078   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8079 
  8080 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8081   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8082   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8083 
  8084 
  8085 *** Isar ***
  8086 
  8087 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8088   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8089   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8090     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8091     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8092     emulations.
  8093   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8094     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8095     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8096 
  8097 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8098   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8099     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8100     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8101   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8102 
  8103 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8104   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8105   and derived forms.
  8106 
  8107 * Locales:
  8108   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8109     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8110     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8111     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8112   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8113     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8114   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8115     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8116   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8117         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8118     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8119     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8120     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8121     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8122     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8123       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8124     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8125     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8126     with "locale (open)".
  8127       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8128 
  8129 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8130   (Isar) contexts.
  8131 
  8132 
  8133 *** HOL ***
  8134 
  8135 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8136   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8137   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8138   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8139   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8140 
  8141 * Simplifier:
  8142   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8143     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8144     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8145     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8146     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8147   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8148     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8149     is solved by simplification already.
  8150 
  8151 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8152     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8153 
  8154 * Numerics:
  8155   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8156     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8157   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8158     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8159   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8160     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8161     exponentiation).
  8162 
  8163 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8164 
  8165 * Records:
  8166   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8167     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8168     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8169   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8170     (not enabled by default).
  8171   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8172     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8173   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8174 
  8175 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8176   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8177   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8178 
  8179 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8180 
  8181 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8182 
  8183 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8184   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8185 
  8186 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8187   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8188 
  8189 * Unions and Intersections:
  8190   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8191   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8192   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8193   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8194 
  8195 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8196   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8197   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8198   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8199 
  8200 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8201   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8202 
  8203 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8204   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8205 
  8206 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8207   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8208   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8209 
  8210 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8211   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8212   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8213   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8214   for examples.
  8215 
  8216 
  8217 *** HOLCF ***
  8218 
  8219 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8220 
  8221 
  8222 
  8223 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8224 ------------------------------
  8225 
  8226 *** General ***
  8227 
  8228 * Provers/simplifier:
  8229 
  8230   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8231     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8232     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8233     the order of assumptions.
  8234 
  8235     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8236 
  8237     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8238        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8239 
  8240         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8241 
  8242        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8243 
  8244         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8245 
  8246        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8247        kind of problem.
  8248 
  8249     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8250        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8251        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8252        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8253        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8254        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8255        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8256 
  8257   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8258 
  8259   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8260     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8261     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8262     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8263     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8264     the simplifier would diverge.
  8265 
  8266   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8267 
  8268   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8269     congruence is ignored.
  8270 
  8271 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8272   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8273   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8274 
  8275 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8276 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8277    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8278 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8279 
  8280 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8281 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8282       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8283 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8284 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8285 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8286 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8287 
  8288 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8289 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8290 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8291 assumption failed.
  8292 
  8293 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8294 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8295 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8296 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8297 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8298 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8299 on the old view without predicates;
  8300 
  8301 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8302 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8303 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8304 
  8305 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8306 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8307 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8308 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8309 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8310 be given (the default is 40);
  8311 
  8312 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8313 (batch-mode only);
  8314 
  8315 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8316 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8317 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8318 
  8319 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8320 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8321 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8322 
  8323 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8324 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8325 
  8326 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8327 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8328 
  8329 
  8330 *** HOL ***
  8331 
  8332 * arith(_tac)
  8333 
  8334  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8335    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8336    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8337    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8338 
  8339  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8340 
  8341  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8342    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8343    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8344 
  8345 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8346 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8347 
  8348 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8349 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8350 
  8351 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8352 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8353 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8354 
  8355 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8356 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8357 
  8358 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8359 definition;
  8360 
  8361 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8362 Finite_Set);
  8363 
  8364 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8365 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8366 
  8367 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8368   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8369 
  8370 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8371 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8372 of the empty set.
  8373 
  8374 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8375 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8376 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8377 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8378 
  8379 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8380 
  8381 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8382 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8383 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8384 
  8385 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8386 
  8387 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8388 Fleuriot);
  8389 
  8390 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8391 
  8392 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8393 Gray and Kramer);
  8394 
  8395 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8396 
  8397 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8398 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8399 
  8400 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8401 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8402 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8403 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8404 assignment, exceptions.
  8405 
  8406 
  8407 *** ZF ***
  8408 
  8409 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8410 universe, etc.);
  8411 
  8412 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8413 
  8414 
  8415 *** ML ***
  8416 
  8417 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8418 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8419 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8420 
  8421 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8422 
  8423 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8424 up simprocs;
  8425 
  8426 
  8427 *** Document preparation ***
  8428 
  8429 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8430 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8431 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8432 
  8433 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8434 other packages
  8435 
  8436 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8437 broke \Rightarrow)
  8438 
  8439 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8440 textcomp package)
  8441 
  8442 
  8443 
  8444 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8445 --------------------------------
  8446 
  8447 *** Document preparation ***
  8448 
  8449 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8450 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8451 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8452 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8453 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8454 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8455 
  8456 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8457 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8458 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8459 
  8460 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8461 blocks after section headings;
  8462 
  8463 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8464 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8465 
  8466 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8467 better in printed text;
  8468 
  8469 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8470 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8471 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8472 
  8473 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8474 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8475 location;
  8476 
  8477 
  8478 *** Isar ***
  8479 
  8480 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8481   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8482     "case (Suc n)");
  8483   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8484     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8485     instantiation of cases;
  8486   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8487     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8488     rules without further ado;
  8489   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8490     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8491     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8492     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8493     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8494   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8495     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8496     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8497     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8498     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8499     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8500   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8501     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8502     below);
  8503   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8504     success (no backtracking);
  8505   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8506   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8507   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8508     General versions);
  8509   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8510   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8511 
  8512 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8513 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8514 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8515 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8516 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8517 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8518 fails:
  8519 
  8520   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8521 
  8522 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8523 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8524 
  8525 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8526 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8527 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8528 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8529 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8530 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8531 some examples;
  8532 
  8533 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8534 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8535 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8536 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8537 qualified by the locale name);
  8538 
  8539 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8540 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8541 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8542 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8543 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8544 
  8545 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8546 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8547 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8548 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8549 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8550 
  8551 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8552 
  8553 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8554 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8555 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8556 
  8557 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8558 
  8559 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8560 
  8561 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8562 
  8563 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8564 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8565 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8566 
  8567 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8568 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8569 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8570 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8571 proof *scripts*;
  8572 
  8573 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8574 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8575 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8576 especially important for locales);
  8577 
  8578 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8579 mode;
  8580 
  8581 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8582 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8583 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8584 situations;
  8585 
  8586 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8587 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8588 
  8589 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8590 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8591 discontinued;
  8592 
  8593 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8594 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8595 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8596 
  8597 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8598 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8599 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8600 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8601 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8602 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8603 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8604 
  8605 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8606 of introduction rules;
  8607 
  8608 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8609 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8610 conditional rules;
  8611 
  8612 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8613 
  8614 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8615 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8616 
  8617 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8618 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8619 
  8620 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8621 wf_induct_rule;
  8622 
  8623 
  8624 *** HOL ***
  8625 
  8626 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8627 follows:
  8628 
  8629   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8630   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8631 
  8632   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8633   binary representation internally;
  8634 
  8635   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8636   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8637 
  8638 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8639 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8640 
  8641   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8642   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8643   to be spaced properly;
  8644 
  8645   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8646   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8647 
  8648   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8649 
  8650   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8651 
  8652 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8653 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8654 
  8655 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8656 
  8657 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8658 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8659 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8660 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8661 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8662 
  8663 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8664   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8665     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8666     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8667     declared as simp by default;
  8668   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8669     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8670   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8671     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8672   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8673   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8674     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8675     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8676   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8677     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8678 
  8679 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8680 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8681 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8682 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8683 
  8684 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8685 
  8686 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8687         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8688         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8689 
  8690 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8691 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8692 
  8693 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8694 
  8695 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8696 
  8697 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8698 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8699   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8700 
  8701 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8702 in this (rare) case use:
  8703 
  8704   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8705   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8706 
  8707 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8708 MAY FAIL;
  8709 
  8710 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8711 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8712 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8713 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8714 
  8715 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8716 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8717 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8718 
  8719 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8720 expressions;
  8721 
  8722 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8723 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8724 
  8725 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8726 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8727 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8728 
  8729 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8730 
  8731 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8732 the "cases" method);
  8733 
  8734 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8735 Florian Kammller);
  8736 
  8737 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8738 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8739 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8740 
  8741 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8742 
  8743 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8744 
  8745 
  8746 *** HOLCF ***
  8747 
  8748 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8749 operations;
  8750 
  8751 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8752 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8753 
  8754 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8755 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8756 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8757 
  8758 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8759 
  8760 
  8761 *** ZF ***
  8762 
  8763 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8764 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8765 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8766 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8767 
  8768 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8769 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8770 
  8771 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8772 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8773 
  8774 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8775 typeless version of the formalism;
  8776 
  8777 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8778 format;
  8779 
  8780 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8781 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8782 new-style theory format;
  8783 
  8784 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8785 
  8786 
  8787 *** General ***
  8788 
  8789 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8790 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8791 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8792 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8793 
  8794 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8795 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8796 
  8797 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8798 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8799 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8800 properly;
  8801 
  8802 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8803 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8804 
  8805 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8806 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8807 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8808 type variable);
  8809 
  8810 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8811 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8812 "type_brackets";
  8813 
  8814 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8815 tokens into AST constants;
  8816 
  8817 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8818 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8819 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8820 
  8821 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8822 practice);
  8823 
  8824 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8825 addSafter;
  8826 
  8827 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8828 as well;
  8829 
  8830 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8831 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8832 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8833 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8834 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8835 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8836 
  8837 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8838 
  8839 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8840 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8841 
  8842 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8843 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8844 
  8845 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8846 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8847 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8848 
  8849 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8850 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8851 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8852 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8853 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8854 
  8855 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8856 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8857 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8858 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8859 
  8860 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8861 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8862 terminal);
  8863 
  8864 
  8865 
  8866 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8867 -----------------------------------
  8868 
  8869 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8870 
  8871 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8872 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8873 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8874 
  8875 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8876 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8877 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8878 'split_rule (complete)';
  8879 
  8880 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8881 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8882 
  8883 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8884 
  8885 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8886 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8887 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8888 
  8889 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8890 operation;
  8891 
  8892 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8893 
  8894 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8895 
  8896 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8897 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8898 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8899 
  8900 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8901 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8902 
  8903 
  8904 *** Document preparation ***
  8905 
  8906 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8907 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8908 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8909 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8910 type-writer);
  8911 
  8912 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8913 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8914 
  8915 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8916 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8917 
  8918 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8919 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8920 definitions);
  8921 
  8922 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8923 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8924 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8925 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8926 
  8927 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8928 fonts;
  8929 
  8930 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8931 generation;
  8932 
  8933 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8934 
  8935 
  8936 *** Isar ***
  8937 
  8938 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8939 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8940 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8941 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8942 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8943 
  8944 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8945 rules as well;
  8946 
  8947 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8948 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8949 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8950 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8951 
  8952 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8953 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8954 
  8955 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8956 statements as well;
  8957 
  8958 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8959 
  8960 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8961 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8962 
  8963 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8964 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8965 
  8966 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8967 
  8968 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8969 
  8970 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8971 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8972 
  8973 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8974 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8975 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8976 
  8977 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8978 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8979 the result to be shown in each case;
  8980 
  8981 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8982 
  8983 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8984 
  8985 
  8986 *** HOL ***
  8987 
  8988 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8989 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8990 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8991 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8992 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8993 
  8994 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8995 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8996 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8997 
  8998 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8999 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9000 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9001 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9002 literature;
  9003 
  9004 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9005 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9006 operator \<Sum>;
  9007 
  9008 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9009 HOL/subset.thy);
  9010 
  9011 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9012 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9013 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9014 
  9015 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9016 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9017 
  9018 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9019 rules with string literals);
  9020 
  9021 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9022  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9023  functions for the reals;
  9024 
  9025 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9026 
  9027 
  9028 *** CTT ***
  9029 
  9030 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9031 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9032 
  9033 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9034 and Arith);
  9035 
  9036 
  9037 *** General ***
  9038 
  9039 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9040 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9041 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9042 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9043 
  9044 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9045 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9046 
  9047 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9048 as assumptions as well;
  9049 
  9050 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9051 
  9052 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9053 
  9054 
  9055 
  9056 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9057 ----------------------------------
  9058 
  9059 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9060 
  9061 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9062 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9063 issue the following ML commands:
  9064 
  9065   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9066   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9067 
  9068 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9069 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9070 
  9071 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9072 
  9073 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9074 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9075 
  9076   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9077   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9078   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9079   selectI2         -> someI2
  9080   selectI          -> someI
  9081   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9082   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9083   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9084 
  9085 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9086 
  9087 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9088 instead);
  9089 
  9090 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9091 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9092 
  9093 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9094 
  9095 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9096 sometimes be needed;
  9097 
  9098 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9099 
  9100 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9101 
  9102 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9103 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9104 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9105 
  9106 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9107 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9108 
  9109 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9110 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9111 
  9112   syntax (symbols)
  9113     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9114       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9115 
  9116 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9117 
  9118 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9119 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9120 internally;
  9121 
  9122 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9123 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9124 
  9125 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9126 proofs;
  9127 
  9128 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9129 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9130 
  9131 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9132 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9133 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9134 "rule del";
  9135 
  9136 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9137 
  9138 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9139 
  9140 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9141 lib/texinputs);
  9142 
  9143 
  9144 *** Document preparation ***
  9145 
  9146 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9147 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9148 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9149 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9150 
  9151 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9152 including proper document sources;
  9153 
  9154 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9155 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9156 of isatool usedir;
  9157 
  9158 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9159 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9160 LaTeX debugging;
  9161 
  9162 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9163 
  9164 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9165 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9166 graph for 'all sessions';
  9167 
  9168 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9169 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9170 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9171 
  9172 
  9173 *** Isar ***
  9174 
  9175 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9176 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9177 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9178 
  9179 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9180 generalized existence reasoning;
  9181 
  9182 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9183 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9184 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9185 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9186 premises;
  9187 
  9188 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9189 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9190 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9191 to theorems as "tags";
  9192 
  9193 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9194 class/type/const name spaces;
  9195 
  9196 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9197 indicate potential overloading;
  9198 
  9199 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9200 
  9201 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9202 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9203 
  9204 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9205 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9206 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9207 
  9208 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9209 case name 'antecedent';
  9210 
  9211 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9212 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9213 
  9214 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9215 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9216 
  9217 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9218 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9219 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9220 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9221 
  9222 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9223 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9224 
  9225 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9226 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9227 well (including splits);
  9228 
  9229 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9230 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9231 
  9232 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9233 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9234 
  9235 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9236 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9237 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9238 
  9239 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9240 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9241 calculations;
  9242 
  9243 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9244 method anyway;
  9245 
  9246 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9247 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9248 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9249 
  9250 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9251 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9252 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9253 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9254 
  9255 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9256 
  9257 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9258 
  9259 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9260 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9261 proof states;
  9262 
  9263 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9264 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9265 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9266 
  9267 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9268 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9269 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9270 (for HOL datatypes);
  9271 
  9272 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9273 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9274 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9275 
  9276 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9277 
  9278 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9279 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9280 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9281 
  9282 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9283 
  9284 
  9285 *** HOL ***
  9286 
  9287 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9288 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9289 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9290 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9291 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9292 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9293 
  9294 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9295 Clemens Ballarin;
  9296 
  9297 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9298 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9299 Rasmussen;
  9300 
  9301 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9302 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9303 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9304 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9305 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9306 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9307 
  9308 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9309 von Oheimb;
  9310 
  9311 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9312 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9313 
  9314 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9315 
  9316 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9317 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9318 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9319 
  9320 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9321 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9322 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9323 
  9324 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9325 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9326 
  9327 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9328 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9329 
  9330 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9331    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9332    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9333   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9334     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9335   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9336     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9337 
  9338 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9339 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9340 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9341 
  9342 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9343 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9344 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9345 
  9346 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9347 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9348 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9349 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9350 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9351 
  9352 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9353 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9354 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9355 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9356 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9357 each equation;
  9358 
  9359 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9360 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9361 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9362 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9363 
  9364 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9365 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9366 
  9367 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9368 
  9369 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9370 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9371 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9372 
  9373 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9374 
  9375 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9376 main HOL, but was unused);
  9377 
  9378 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9379 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9380 
  9381 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9382 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9383 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9384 bogus);
  9385 
  9386 
  9387 *** ZF ***
  9388 
  9389 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9390 expressions over nat and int;
  9391 
  9392 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9393 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9394 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9395 
  9396 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9397 using the function intify;
  9398 
  9399 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9400 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9401 
  9402 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9403 simplification;
  9404 
  9405 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9406 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9407 
  9408 
  9409 *** General ***
  9410 
  9411 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9412 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9413 
  9414 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9415 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9416 
  9417 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9418 explicit make_elim);
  9419 
  9420 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9421   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9422 use instead the strong form,
  9423   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9424 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9425 from destruct-rules;
  9426 
  9427 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9428 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9429 
  9430 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9431 
  9432 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9433 for hiding of names;
  9434 
  9435 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9436 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9437 situations;
  9438 
  9439 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9440 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9441 Poly/ML);
  9442 
  9443 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9444 useful for remote X11);
  9445 
  9446 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9447 
  9448 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9449 order;
  9450 
  9451 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9452 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9453 
  9454 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9455 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9456 
  9457 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9458 overloading (usually false);
  9459 
  9460 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9461 results;
  9462 
  9463 
  9464 
  9465 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9466 --------------------------------
  9467 
  9468 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9469 
  9470 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9471 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9472 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9473 
  9474     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9475 
  9476 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9477 complement;
  9478 
  9479 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9480 
  9481 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9482   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9483 
  9484 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9485 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9486 
  9487 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9488 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9489 
  9490 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9491 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9492 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9493 
  9494 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9495 
  9496 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9497         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9498 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9499 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9500         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9501 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9502 
  9503 
  9504 *** Proof tools ***
  9505 
  9506 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9507 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9508 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9509 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9510 
  9511 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9512      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9513   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9514   matching.
  9515 
  9516 
  9517 *** General ***
  9518 
  9519 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9520 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9521 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9522 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9523 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9524 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9525 
  9526 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9527 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9528 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9529 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9530 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9531 
  9532 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9533 Isabelle/Isar;
  9534 
  9535 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9536 using the graph browser tool;
  9537 
  9538 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9539 
  9540 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9541 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9542 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9543 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9544 isatool doc ref);
  9545 
  9546 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9547 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9548 
  9549 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9550 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9551 
  9552 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9553 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9554 Isabelle;
  9555 
  9556 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9557 
  9558 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9559 empty;
  9560 
  9561 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9562 long arrows);
  9563 
  9564 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9565 
  9566 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9567 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9568 
  9569 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9570 mode and goal output format:
  9571 
  9572 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9573 244c244
  9574 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9575 ---
  9576 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9577 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9578 181c181
  9579 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9580 ---
  9581 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9582 
  9583 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9584 
  9585 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9586 
  9587 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9588 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9589 result still apply;
  9590 
  9591 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9592 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9593 
  9594 
  9595 *** HOL ***
  9596 
  9597 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9598 
  9599 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9600 int:
  9601 
  9602 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9603 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9604 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9605 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9606 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9607 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9608 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9609 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9610 
  9611 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9612 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9613 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9614 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9615 simplifier.
  9616 
  9617 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9618 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9619 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9620 
  9621 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9622 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9623 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9624 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9625 type constraints;
  9626 
  9627 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9628 arguments;
  9629 
  9630 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9631 are now available;
  9632 
  9633 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9634 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9635 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9636 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9637 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9638   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9639 
  9640 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9641 
  9642 
  9643 ** HOL misc **
  9644 
  9645 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9646 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9647 
  9648 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9649 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9650 
  9651 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9652 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9653 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9654 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9655 
  9656 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9657   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9658   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9659   "mono" attribute);
  9660 
  9661 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9662   (using function types) such as
  9663 
  9664   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9665 
  9666 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9667 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9668 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9669 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9670 
  9671   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9672   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9673 
  9674 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9675 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9676 
  9677 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9678 names rather than an ML expression;
  9679 
  9680 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9681 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9682     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9683 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9684 
  9685 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9686 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9687 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9688 
  9689 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9690 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9691 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9692 
  9693 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9694 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9695 
  9696 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9697 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9698 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9699 
  9700 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9701 
  9702 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9703 thus available for user theories;
  9704 
  9705 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9706 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9707 time;
  9708 
  9709 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9710 several times and then mp;
  9711 
  9712 
  9713 *** LK ***
  9714 
  9715 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9716 formulas;
  9717 
  9718 * the simplifier is now installed
  9719 
  9720 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9721 
  9722 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9723 
  9724 
  9725 *** ZF ***
  9726 
  9727 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9728 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9729 
  9730 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9731 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9732 
  9733 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9734 
  9735 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9736 constructors;
  9737 
  9738 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9739 type-checking rules;
  9740 
  9741 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9742 to the claset;
  9743 
  9744 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9745 if(P,x,y);
  9746 
  9747 
  9748 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9749 
  9750 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9751 
  9752 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9753 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9754 
  9755 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9756 
  9757 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9758 printing empty lines;
  9759 
  9760 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9761 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9762 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9763 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9764 
  9765 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9766 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9767 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9768 
  9769 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9770 now of type real instead of int;
  9771 
  9772 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9773 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9774 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9775 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9776 
  9777 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9778 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9779 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9780 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9781 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9782 
  9783 
  9784 
  9785 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9786 ----------------------------------
  9787 
  9788 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9789 
  9790 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9791 
  9792 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9793 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9794 
  9795 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9796 called `inj_on';
  9797 
  9798 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9799   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9800   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9801 
  9802 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9803 required);
  9804 
  9805 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9806 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9807 now taken as an integer constant.
  9808 
  9809 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9810 
  9811 
  9812 *** Proof tools ***
  9813 
  9814 * Simplifier:
  9815   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9816      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9817         simplify.
  9818      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9819         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9820      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9821      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9822   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9823 
  9824 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9825 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9826 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9827 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9828 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9829 one (emitting a warning).
  9830   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9831   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9832   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9833   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9834   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9835 
  9836 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9837 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9838 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9839 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9840 by Force_tac;
  9841 
  9842 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9843 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9844 
  9845 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9846 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9847 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9848 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9849 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9850 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9851 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9852 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9853 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9854 
  9855 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9856 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9857 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9858 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9859 
  9860 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9861 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9862 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9863 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9864 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9865 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9866 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9867 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9868 t is the name of the datatype).
  9869 
  9870 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9871 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9872 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9873 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9874 
  9875 
  9876 *** General ***
  9877 
  9878 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9879 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9880 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9881 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9882 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9883 (backup your sources first!);
  9884 
  9885 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9886 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9887 
  9888 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9889 definitions that have local scope;
  9890 
  9891 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9892 
  9893 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9894 (e.g. package initialization);
  9895 
  9896 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9897 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9898 
  9899 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9900 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9901 
  9902 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9903 
  9904 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9905 
  9906 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9907 
  9908 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9909 
  9910 
  9911 *** HOL ***
  9912 
  9913 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9914 
  9915 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9916 definitions such as
  9917 
  9918   inductive EVEN ODD
  9919     intrs
  9920       null "0 : EVEN"
  9921       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9922       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9923 
  9924 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9925 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9926 correctly (also ZF);
  9927 
  9928 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9929 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9930 contained in "induct";
  9931 
  9932 
  9933 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9934 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9935 
  9936   datatype
  9937     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9938             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9939             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9940             | NUM 'a
  9941   and
  9942     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9943             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9944             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9945 
  9946 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9947 
  9948   datatype
  9949     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9950                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9951 
  9952 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9953 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9954 
  9955 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9956 <function_name>.simps.
  9957 
  9958 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9959 
  9960   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9961     ancestor.
  9962   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9963     generic induct_tac instead.
  9964   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9965     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9966     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9967     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9968   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9969     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9970   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9971     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9972     sort constraints.
  9973   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9974     of recursive argument.
  9975 
  9976 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9977 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9978 
  9979 
  9980 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9981 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9982 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9983 support is as follows:
  9984 
  9985   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9986 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9987 
  9988   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9989 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9990 
  9991   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9992 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9993 
  9994 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9995 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9996 the name of your record type.
  9997 
  9998 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9999 
 10000   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10001 
 10002 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10003 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10004 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10005 solve record problems automatically.
 10006 
 10007 
 10008 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10009 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10010 
 10011 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10012 
 10013 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10014 
 10015 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10016 
 10017 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10018 
 10019 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10020 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10021 with add/delsplits);
 10022 
 10023 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10024 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10025 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10026 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10027 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10028 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10029 %u.f();
 10030 
 10031 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10032 makes more sense);
 10033 
 10034 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10035   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10036   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10037 
 10038 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10039 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10040 literature);
 10041 
 10042 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10043 the well-founded relation;
 10044 
 10045 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10046     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10047     release ONLY.
 10048 
 10049 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10050     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10051 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10052 
 10053 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10054 
 10055 * HOL/List:
 10056   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10057     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10058   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10059     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10060     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10061   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10062 
 10063 * HOL/Arith:
 10064   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10065   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10066   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10067   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10068 
 10069 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10070 instead of "inverse";
 10071 
 10072 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10073   of the multiset ordering;
 10074 
 10075 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10076   (not included by default);
 10077 
 10078 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10079 
 10080 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10081   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10082 
 10083 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10084   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10085   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10086 
 10087 
 10088 *** ZF ***
 10089 
 10090 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10091   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10092 
 10093 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10094   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10095   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10096 
 10097 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10098     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10099   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10100 
 10101 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10102 
 10103 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10104   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10105   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10106 
 10107 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10108     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10109 
 10110 
 10111 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10112 
 10113 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10114 also src/Pure/README;
 10115 
 10116 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10117 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10118 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10119 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10120 
 10121 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10122 are qualified by default;
 10123 
 10124 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10125 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10126 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10127 
 10128 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10129 cterm -> thm;
 10130 
 10131 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10132 subgoal;
 10133 
 10134 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10135 
 10136 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10137 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10138 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10139 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10140 for example;
 10141 
 10142 
 10143 
 10144 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10145 --------------------------------
 10146 
 10147 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10148 
 10149 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10150 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10151 
 10152 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10153 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10154 
 10155 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10156 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10157 
 10158 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10159 
 10160 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10161 
 10162 
 10163 *** General Changes ***
 10164 
 10165 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10166 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10167 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10168 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10169 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10170 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10171 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10172 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10173 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10174 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10175 section;
 10176 
 10177 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10178 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10179 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10180 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10181 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10182 
 10183 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10184 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10185 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10186 
 10187 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10188 conditional equations;
 10189 
 10190 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10191 
 10192 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10193 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10194 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10195 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10196 
 10197 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10198 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10199 
 10200 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10201 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10202 
 10203 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10204 show_types);
 10205 
 10206 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10207 
 10208 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10209 
 10210 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10211 
 10212 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10213 
 10214 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10215 
 10216 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10217     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10218 
 10219 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10220 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10221 
 10222 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10223 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10224 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10225 
 10226 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10227 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10228 
 10229 
 10230 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10231 
 10232 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10233 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10234 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10235 
 10236 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10237 
 10238 
 10239 *** Simplifier ***
 10240 
 10241 * added simplification meta rules:
 10242     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10243 
 10244 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10245 logics (again);
 10246 
 10247 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10248 
 10249 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10250   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10251   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10252 
 10253 
 10254 *** Syntax ***
 10255 
 10256 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10257 
 10258 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10259 
 10260 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10261 
 10262 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10263 
 10264 
 10265 *** HOL ***
 10266 
 10267 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10268   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10269 
 10270 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10271 
 10272 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10273   protocol TLS;
 10274 
 10275 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10276 
 10277 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10278 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10279 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10280 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10281 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10282 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10283 
 10284 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10285   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10286   are rewritten to
 10287   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10288   and those of the form
 10289   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10290   are rewritten to
 10291   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10292 
 10293 * HOL/datatype
 10294   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10295 
 10296   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10297      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10298         ...
 10299        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10300      )
 10301 
 10302   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10303 
 10304   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10305     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10306         ...
 10307        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10308      )
 10309   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10310   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10311   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10312 
 10313 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10314   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10315     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10316     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10317   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10318     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10319     `standard'.
 10320 
 10321 * HOL/Lists:
 10322   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10323   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10324   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10325 
 10326 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10327 
 10328 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10329   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10330 
 10331 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10332 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10333 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10334 
 10335 
 10336 *** HOLCF ***
 10337 
 10338 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10339 
 10340 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10341   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10342 
 10343 * domain package:
 10344   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10345   . creates hierachical name space,
 10346   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10347   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10348   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10349   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10350   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10351     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10352 
 10353 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10354 
 10355 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10356 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10357 
 10358 
 10359 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10360 
 10361 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10362   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10363 
 10364 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10365 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10366 
 10367 
 10368 
 10369 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10370 ------------------------------
 10371 
 10372 *** General Changes ***
 10373 
 10374 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10375 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10376 
 10377 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10378 
 10379 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10380 
 10381 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10382 messages and clean internal interface;
 10383 
 10384 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10385 setting goals_limit);
 10386 
 10387 
 10388 *** Syntax ***
 10389 
 10390 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10391 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10392 
 10393 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10394 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10395 "symbols" syntax table;
 10396 
 10397 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10398 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10399 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10400 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10401 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10402 
 10403 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10404 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10405 version of xterm);
 10406 
 10407 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10408 
 10409 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10410 access type of constant);
 10411 
 10412 
 10413 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10414 
 10415 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10416 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10417   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10418   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10419         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10420   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10421   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10422     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10423   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10424 
 10425 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10426 assumptions;
 10427 
 10428 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10429 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10430 (and access functions for it);
 10431 
 10432 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10433   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10434   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10435     safe steps.
 10436   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10437     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10438     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10439 
 10440 *** Simplifier ***
 10441 
 10442 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10443 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10444 redex);
 10445 
 10446 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10447 
 10448 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10449 
 10450 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10451 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10452 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10453 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10454 
 10455 
 10456 *** HOL ***
 10457 
 10458 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10459 also for type `nat';
 10460 
 10461 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10462 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10463 
 10464 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10465 
 10466 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10467 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10468 
 10469 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10470 
 10471 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10472 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10473 
 10474 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10475 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10476 
 10477 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10478 infinite lists;
 10479 
 10480 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10481 
 10482 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10483 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10484 
 10485 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10486 
 10487 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10488 
 10489 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10490 
 10491 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10492 
 10493 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10494   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10495   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10496   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10497   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10498   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10499   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10500   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10501   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10502 
 10503 
 10504 *** ZF ***
 10505 
 10506 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10507 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10508 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10509 
 10510 
 10511 
 10512 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10513 ---------------------------------
 10514 
 10515 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10516 
 10517 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10518 
 10519 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10520 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10521 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10522 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10523 
 10524 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10525 
 10526 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10527 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10528 
 10529 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10530 
 10531 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10532 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10533 
 10534 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10535 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10536 
 10537 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10538 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10539 
 10540 
 10541 
 10542 New in Isabelle94-6
 10543 -------------------
 10544 
 10545 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10546 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10547 
 10548 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10549 
 10550 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10551 
 10552 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10553 
 10554 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10555 
 10556 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10557 
 10558 
 10559 
 10560 New in Isabelle94-5
 10561 -------------------
 10562 
 10563 * reduced space requirements;
 10564 
 10565 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10566 
 10567 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10568 
 10569 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10570 
 10571 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10572 
 10573 
 10574 
 10575 New in Isabelle94-4
 10576 -------------------
 10577 
 10578 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10579 
 10580 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10581 
 10582 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10583 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10584 
 10585 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10586 Axiom of Choice;
 10587 
 10588 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10589 
 10590 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10591 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10592 
 10593 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10594 
 10595 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10596 translates to the operator "split";
 10597

 10600 New in Isabelle94-3
 10601 -------------------
 10602 
 10603 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10604 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10605         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10606 
 10607 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10608 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10609 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10610 
 10611 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10612 
 10613 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10614 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10615 
 10616 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10617 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10618 
 10619 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10620 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10621 
 10622 
 10623 
 10624 New in Isabelle94-2
 10625 -------------------
 10626 
 10627 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10628 
 10629 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10630 freely;
 10631 
 10632 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10633 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10634 
 10635 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10636 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10637 (theory_of_thm);
 10638 
 10639 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10640 
 10641 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10642 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10643 
 10644 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10645 have been removed;
 10646 
 10647 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10648 
 10649 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10650 
 10651 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10652 types;
