     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================

     4 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
     5 -------------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
     8 
     9 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
    10 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
    11 
    12 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
    13 after edits surrounding the command location.
    14 
    15 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
    16 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
    17 e.g. out-of-memory).
    18 
    19 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
    20 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
    21 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.

    24 
    25 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
    26 -------------------------------------
    27 
    28 *** General ***
    29 
    30 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    31 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    32 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    33 
    34 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    35 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    36 
    37 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    38 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    39 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    40 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    41 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    42 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    43 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    44 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    45 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    46 syntax.
    47 
    48 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    49 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    50 
    51 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    52 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    53 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    54 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    55 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    56 
    57 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    58 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    59 
    60 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    61 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    62 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    63 
    64 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    65 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    66 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    67 
    68 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    69 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    70 
    71 
    72 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    73 
    74 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
    75 Documentation panel.
    76 
    77 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    78 documentation.
    79 
    80 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    81 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    82 
    83 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    84 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    85 normal editing and checking process.
    86 
    87 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    88 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
    89 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
    90 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
    91 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
    92 
    93 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
    94 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
    95 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
    96 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
    97 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    98 
    99 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   100 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   101 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   102 
   103 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   104 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   105 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   106 to resolve conflict.
   107 
   108 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   109 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   110 
   111 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   112 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   113 such command executions while editing.
   114 
   115 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   116 document content.
   117 
   118 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   119 toplevel theorem statements.
   120 
   121 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   122 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   123 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   124 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   125 
   126 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   127 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   128 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   129 
   130 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   131 / Global Options / Appearance".
   132 
   133 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   134 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   135 
   136 
   137 *** Pure ***
   138 
   139 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   140 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   141 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   142 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   143 details.
   144 
   145 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   146 
   147 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   148 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   149 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   150 
   151 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   152 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   153 
   154 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   155 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   156 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   157 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   158 
   159 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   160 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   161 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   162 
   163 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   164 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   165 
   166 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   167 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   168 situations.
   169 
   170 
   171 *** HOL ***
   172 
   173 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   174 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   175 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   176 
   177 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   178 
   179 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   180 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   181 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   182 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   183 
   184   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   185 
   186 * Code generator:
   187   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   188     'code_instance'.
   189   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   190     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   191 
   192 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   193 examples.
   194 
   195 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   196 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   197 to distinguish both when desired.
   198 
   199 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   200 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   201 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   202 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   203 
   204 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   205 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   206 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   207 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   208 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   209 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   210 
   211 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   212 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   213 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   214 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   215 
   216 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   217 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   218 
   219 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   220 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   221 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   222 
   223 * Lifting:
   224   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   225     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
   226       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   227       transfer rules
   228     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   229       correspondence relation can be generated
   230     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   231       parametricity
   232     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   233   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   234   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   235     copies
   236   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   237     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   238     anonymous context)
   239   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
   240     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   241   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   242     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   243   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
   244     INCOMPATIBILITY
   245 
   246 * Transfer:
   247   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
   248     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   249   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   250   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   251     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   252   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   253 
   254 * Reification and reflection:
   255   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   256     "Reification".
   257   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   258   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   259 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   260 
   261 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   262   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   263     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   264     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   265   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   266     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   267   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   268     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   269     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   270     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   271     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   272     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   273     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   274     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   275   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   276     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   277   - Fact renames:
   278       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   279       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   280 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   281 
   282 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   283 
   284 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   285 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   286 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   287 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   288 
   289 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   290 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   291 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   292 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   293 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   294 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   295 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   296 lemmas.
   297 
   298 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   299 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   300 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   301 
   302 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   303 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   304 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   305 
   306 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   307 top and bottom elements.
   308 
   309 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   310 
   311 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   312 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   313 
   314  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   315    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   316    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   317 
   318  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   319    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   320    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   321 
   322    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   323    arbitrary filter.
   324 
   325  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   326    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   327    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   328    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   329    on a compact set.
   330 
   331  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   332    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   333    linear_continuum_topology).
   334 
   335  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   336    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   337    on all sequences converging to x.
   338 
   339  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   340    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   341    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   342    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   343    left or right.
   344 
   345  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   346 
   347      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   348 
   349  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   350    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   351 
   352  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   353    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   354    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   355    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   356    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   357    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   358 
   359  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   360 
   361    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   362 
   363    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   364      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   365 
   366    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   367 
   368    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   369      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   370 
   371    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   372 
   373    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   374 
   375  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   376 
   377 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   378 
   379 * Nitpick:
   380   - Added option "spy"
   381   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   382 
   383 * Sledgehammer:
   384   - Renamed option:
   385       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   386     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   387   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   388   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   389   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   390 
   391 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   392 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   393 
   394 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   395   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   396   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   397     generated code.
   398   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   399   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   400   - Fact renames:
   401     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   402     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   403     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   404 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   405 
   406 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   407 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   408 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   409 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   410 
   411 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   412 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   413 
   414 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   415 
   416 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   417 
   418     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   419     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   420 
   421 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   422 
   423 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   424 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   425 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   426 
   427 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   428 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   429 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   430 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   431 
   432 * HOL-BNF:
   433   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   434     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   435     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   436     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   437   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   438     coinduct).
   439   - Renamed keywords:
   440     data ~> datatype_new
   441     codata ~> codatatype
   442     bnf_def ~> bnf

   452 
   453 *** ML ***
   454 
   455 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   456 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   457 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   458 Examples.thy in particular.
   459 
   460 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   461 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   462 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   463 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   464 
   465 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   466 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   467 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   468 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   469 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   470 
   471 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   472 
   473     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   474     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   475 
   476 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   477 
   478 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   479 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   480 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   481 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   482 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   483 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   484 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   485 
   486 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   487 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   488 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   489 clasets separately from the context.
   490 
   491 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   492 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   493 
   494 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   495 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   496 
   497 
   498 *** System ***
   499 
   500 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   501 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   502 
   503 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   504 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   505 
   506 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   507 settings variable.
   508 
   509 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   510 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   511 always pdf.
   512 
   513 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   514 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   515 
   516 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   517 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   518 
   519 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   520 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   521 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   522 
   523 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   524 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   525 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   526 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   527 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   528 for HTML presentation of theories.
   529 
   530 
   531 
   532 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   533 -----------------------------------
   534 
   535 *** General ***
   536 
   537 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   538 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   539 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   540 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   541 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   542 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   543 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   544 
   545 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   546 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   547 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   548 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   549 
   550 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   551 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   552 
   553 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   554 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   555 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   556 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   557 dependencies properly.
   558 
   559 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   560 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   561 
   562 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   563 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   564 
   565 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   566 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   567 and "class ... context ...".
   568 
   569 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   570 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   571 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   572 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   573 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   574 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   575 
   576 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   577 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   578 
   579 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   580 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   581 
   582 
   583 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   584 
   585 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   586 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   587 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   588 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   589 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   590 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   591 
   592 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   593 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   594 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   595 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   596 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   597 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   598 
   599 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   600 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   601 browser on demand.
   602 
   603 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   604 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   605 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   606 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   607 
   608 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   609 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   610 
   611 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   612 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   613 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   614 potentially infinite message streams.
   615 
   616 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   617 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   618 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   619 schemes.
   620 
   621 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   622 symbols.
   623 
   624 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   625 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   626 
   627 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   628 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   629 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   630 
   631 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   632 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   633 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   634 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   635 
   636 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   637 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   638 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   639 
   640 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   641 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   642 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   643 Isabelle distribution.
   644 
   645 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   646 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   647 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   648 
   649 
   650 *** Pure ***
   651 
   652 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   653 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   654 
   655 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   656 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   657 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   658 
   659 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   660 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   661 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   662 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   663 with some care where this is really required.
   664 
   665 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   666 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   667 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   668 
   669   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   670 
   671 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   672 a Hasse diagram.
   673 
   674 
   675 *** HOL ***
   676 
   677 * Sledgehammer:
   678 
   679   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   680     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   681   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   682   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   683   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   684   - Renamed options:
   685       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   686       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   687       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   688       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   689 
   690 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   691 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   692 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   693 
   694 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   695 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   696 
   697 * Lifting:
   698   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   699   - quot_del attribute
   700   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   701 
   702 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   703 expressions.
   704 
   705 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   706 pointfree expressions.
   707 
   708 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   709 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   710 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   711 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   712 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   713 
   714 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   715 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   716 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   717 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   718 accordingly.
   719 
   720 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   721 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   722 
   723 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   724 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   725 
   726 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   727 
   728 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   729 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   730 
   731 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   732 
   733 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   734 
   735   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   736   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   737 
   738 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   739 
   740 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   741 
   742   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   743   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   744 
   745 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   746 
   747 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   748 
   749   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   750     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   751     output f x converges to G.
   752 
   753   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   754     infinity (at_bot).
   755 
   756   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   757     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   758 
   759   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   760     at_top".
   761 
   762 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   763 
   764 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   765 lattice type classes.
   766 
   767 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   768 
   769     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   770     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   771 
   772 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   773 
   774 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   775 changes as follows.
   776 
   777   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   778 
   779       prefix ~> prefixeq
   780       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   781 
   782   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   783     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   784     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   785     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   786 
   787   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   788     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   789     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   790 
   791   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   792     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   793     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   794     Library/Prefix_Order.
   795 
   796   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   797     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   798 
   799       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   800       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   801       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   802       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   803       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   804       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   805       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   806       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   807       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   808       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   809       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   810       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   811       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   812       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   813       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   814       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   815 
   816 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   817 
   818 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   819 
   820 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   821 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   822 
   823 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   824 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   825 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   826 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   827 
   828   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   829   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   830   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   831   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   832   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   833   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   834   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   835   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   836   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   837   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   838 
   839 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   840 
   841 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   842 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   843 Data").
   844 
   845 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   846 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   847 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   848 code.
   849 
   850 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   851 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   852 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   853 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   854 
   855 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   856 
   857 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   858 
   859 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   860 
   861   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   862   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   863 
   864 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   865 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   866 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   867 
   868   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   869 
   870     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   871     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   872     cart_base i  removed
   873     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   874 
   875   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   876 
   877   Renamed lemmas:
   878 
   879     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   880     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   881     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   882     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   883     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   884     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   885     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   886     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   887     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   888     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   889 
   890 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   891 
   892 * HOL/Probability:
   893 
   894   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   895 
   896   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   897     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   898     (borel_measurable_induct).
   899 
   900   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   901     projective family).
   902 
   903 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   904 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   905 
   906 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   907 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   908 datatypes.
   909 
   910 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   911 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   912 
   913 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   914 trees for the code generator.
   915 
   916 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   917 Lifting/Transfer.
   918 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   919 
   920 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   921 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   922 
   923 
   924 *** Document preparation ***
   925 
   926 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   927 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   928 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   929 
   930 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   931 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   932 
   933 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   934 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   935 document/root.tex.
   936 
   937 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   938 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   939 
   940 
   941 *** ML ***
   942 
   943 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   944 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   945 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   946 
   947 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   948 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   949 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   950 
   951 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   952 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   953 necessarily printing visible text.
   954 
   955 
   956 *** System ***
   957 
   958 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   959 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   960 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   961 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   962 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   963 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   964 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   965 
   966 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   967 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   968 
   969   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   970 
   971 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   972 
   973 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   974 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   975 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   976 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   977 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   978 
   979 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   980 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   981 
   982 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   983 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   984 
   985 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   986 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   987 
   988 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   989 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   990 version of Isabelle.
   991 
   992 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   993 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   994 
   995 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   996 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   997 for home-made settings.
   998 
   999 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1000 
  1001 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1002 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1003 configuration.
  1004 
  1005 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1006 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1007 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1008 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1009 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1010 
  1011 
  1012 
  1013 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1014 ------------------------------
  1015 
  1016 *** General ***
  1017 
  1018 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1019 
  1020   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1021     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1022   - markup for bound variables
  1023   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1024   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1025   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1026     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1027 
  1028 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1029 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1030 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1031 
  1032 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1033 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1034 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1035 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1036 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1037 
  1038   context
  1039     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1040     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1041   begin
  1042 
  1043   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1044 
  1045   end
  1046 
  1047   thm my_trans
  1048 
  1049 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1050 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1051 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1052 
  1053 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1054 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1055 
  1056 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1057 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1058 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1059 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1060 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1061 
  1062 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1063 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1064 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1065 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1066 indices of schematic variables.
  1067 
  1068 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1069 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1070 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1071 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1072 etc. was exploited.
  1073 
  1074 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1075 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1076 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1077 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1078 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1079 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1080 
  1081 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1082 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1083 manual.
  1084 
  1085 
  1086 *** Pure ***
  1087 
  1088 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1089 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1090 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1091 
  1092 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1093 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1094 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1095 undocumented feature.)
  1096 
  1097 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1098 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1099 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1100 
  1101   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1102 
  1103   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1104     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1105 
  1106 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1107 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1108 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1109 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1110 
  1111 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1112 
  1113     num ~> num_token
  1114     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1115     xstr ~> str_token
  1116 
  1117 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1118 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1119 position information via constraints).
  1120 
  1121 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1122 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1123 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1124 
  1125 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1126 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1127 
  1128 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1129 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1130 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1131 
  1132 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1133 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1134 
  1135 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1136 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1137 
  1138   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1139 
  1140 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1141 
  1142 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1143 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1144 
  1145 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1146 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1147 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1148 
  1149 
  1150 *** HOL ***
  1151 
  1152 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1153 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1154 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1155 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1156 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1157 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1158 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1159 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1160 possible.
  1161 
  1162 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1163 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1164 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1165 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1166 
  1167 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1168 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1169 
  1170 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1171 
  1172 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1173 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1174 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1175 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1176 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1177 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1178 
  1179   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1180     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1181 
  1182   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1183     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1184     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1185 
  1186   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1187     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1188 
  1189   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1190     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1191     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1192 
  1193   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1194     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1195 
  1196 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1197 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1198 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1199 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1200 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1201 
  1202   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1203     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1204     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1205     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1206     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1207 
  1208     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1209     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1210 
  1211   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1212     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1213     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1214     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1215     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1216     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1217     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1218     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1219 
  1220   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1221     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1222     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1223     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1224 
  1225   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1226     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1227     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1228     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1229 
  1230   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1231     from type nat to type int.
  1232 
  1233 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1234 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1235 
  1236   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1237     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1238     type.  Example syntax:
  1239 
  1240     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1241       is List.insert
  1242 
  1243     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1244     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1245     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1246     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1247     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1248     by the package.
  1249 
  1250   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1251     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1252     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1253     code generation for each constant.
  1254 
  1255   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1256     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1257     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1258     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1259     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1260 
  1261   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1262     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1263     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1264 
  1265 * Quotient package:
  1266 
  1267   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1268     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1269 
  1270   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1271     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1272 
  1273   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1274     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1275     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1276 
  1277   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1278     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1279 
  1280 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1281 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1282 
  1283 * Quickcheck:
  1284 
  1285   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1286     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1287     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1288     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1289     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1290 
  1291     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1292     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1293     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1294 
  1295     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1296     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1297 
  1298     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1299     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1300     show genuine counterexamples.
  1301 
  1302   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1303     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1304 
  1305     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1306     constructors of that type.
  1307 
  1308   - Support for multisets.
  1309 
  1310   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1311 
  1312   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1313     conjectures in a locale context.
  1314 
  1315 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1316 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1317 
  1318 * Sledgehammer:
  1319   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1320     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1321   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1322   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1323     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1324   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1325   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1326   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1327   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1328 
  1329 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1330 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1331 
  1332 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1333 
  1334 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1335 
  1336 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1337 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1338 
  1339   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1340 
  1341 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1342 a list and a nat.
  1343 
  1344 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1345 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1346 
  1347 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1348 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1349 default.
  1350 
  1351 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1352 
  1353   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1354 
  1355 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1356 
  1357 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1358 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1359 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1360 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1361 one_case.
  1362 
  1363 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1364 the result of the fact expression.
  1365 
  1366 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1367 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1368 of some relation theorems:
  1369 
  1370   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1371   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1372   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1373   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1374   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1375   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1376 
  1377 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1378 
  1379 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1380 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".

  1762 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1763 association lists with distinct keys.
  1764 
  1765 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1766 annotated commands.
  1767 
  1768 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1769 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1770 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1771 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1772 
  1773 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1774 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1775 instead.

  1819 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1820 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1821 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1822 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1823 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1824 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1825 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1826 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1827 
  1828 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1829 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1830 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1831 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1832 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1833 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1834 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1835 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1836 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1837 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1838 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1839 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1861 
  1862   Removed constants:

  1864   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1865   image_space
  1866   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  2001 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2002 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2003 
  2004 
  2005 *** FOL ***
  2006 
  2007 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2008 
  2009 
  2010 *** ZF ***
  2011 
  2012 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2013 analysis.
  2014 
  2015 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2016 
  2017 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2018 
  2019 
  2020 *** ML ***
  2021 
  2022 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2023 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2024 
  2025 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2026 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2027 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2028 
  2029 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2030 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2031 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2032 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2033 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2034 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2035 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2036 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2037 
  2038 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2039 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2040 
  2041 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2042 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2043 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2044 
  2045 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2046 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2047 
  2048 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2049 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2050 context as well.
  2051 
  2052 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2053 
  2054   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2055   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong

  2066 
  2067 
  2068 *** System ***
  2069 
  2070 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2071 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2072 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2073 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2074 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2075 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2076 the generic user home was intended.
  2077 
  2078 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2079 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2080 
  2081 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2082 (not just JRE).

  2091 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2092 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2093 
  2094   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2095     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2096     files for checking).
  2097 
  2098   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2099     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2100     positions.
  2101 
  2102   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2103     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2104     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2105 
  2106   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2107     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2108     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2109 
  2110   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2111     cores.
  2112 
  2113   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2114     versions (garbage collection).
  2115 
  2116 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2117 including some remaining limitations.
  2118 
  2119 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2120 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2121 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2122 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2123 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2124 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2125 
  2126 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2127 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2128 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2129 
  2130 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2131 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2132 usedir option -Q.
  2133 
  2134 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2135 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2136 
  2137   long_names   ~> names_long
  2138   short_names  ~> names_short
  2139   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2140 
  2141 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2142 
  2143   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2144 
  2145 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2146 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2147 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2148 
  2149 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2150 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2151 
  2152 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2153   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2154   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2155   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2156     "Classical Reasoner".
  2157 
  2158 
  2159 *** HOL ***
  2160 
  2161 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2162 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2163 
  2164 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2165 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2166 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2167 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2168 class complete_linorder.
  2169 
  2170 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2171 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2172 
  2173 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2174 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2175 
  2176   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2177   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2178   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2179   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2180   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2181   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2182   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2183   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2184   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2185   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2186   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2187 
  2188 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2189 
  2190   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2191   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2192   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2193   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2194   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2195   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2196   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2197   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2198   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2199   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2200   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2201   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2202   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2203   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2204   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2205   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2206 
  2207 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2208 
  2209 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2210 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2211 
  2212 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2213 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2214 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2215 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2216 
  2217 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2218 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2219 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2220 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2221 
  2222 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2223 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2224 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2225 
  2226 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2227 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2228 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2229 
  2230 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2231 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2232 
  2233 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2234 
  2235     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2236     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2237 
  2238 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2239 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2240 
  2241 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2242 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2243 
  2244 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2245 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2246 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2247 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2256 
  2257 * Theory Complex_Main: Several redundant theorems have been removed or
  2258 replaced by more general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2342 
  2343 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2344 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2345 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2346 
  2347 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2348 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2349 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2350 
  2351 * Code generation:
  2352 
  2353   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2354     characters in the target language.
  2355 
  2356   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2357     instead.
  2358 
  2359   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2360 
  2361   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2362     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2363 
  2364       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2365 
  2366 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2367 
  2368 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2369 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2370 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2371 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2372 syntax.
  2373 
  2374 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2375 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2376 
  2377 * Nitpick:
  2378   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2379   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2380   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2381     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2382 
  2383 * Sledgehammer:
  2384   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2385   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2386     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2387   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2388     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2389   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2390     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2391   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2392     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2393   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2394     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2395 
  2396 * Metis:
  2397   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2398   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2399     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2400 
  2401 * Command 'try':
  2402   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2403     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2404   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2405     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2406 
  2407 * Quickcheck:
  2408   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2409     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2410   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2411     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2412   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2413     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2414     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2415     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2416   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2417     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2418 
  2419 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2420 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2421 
  2422 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2423 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2424 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2425 
  2426 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2427 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2428 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2429 
  2430 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2431 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2432 
  2433 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2434 arithmetic.
  2435 
  2436 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2437 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2438 and lattice type classes.
  2439 
  2440 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2441 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2442 
  2443 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2444 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2445 
  2446 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2447 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2448 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2449 
  2450   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2451   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2452   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2453   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2454 
  2455 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2456 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2457 constants:
  2458 
  2459   type inat   ~> type enat
  2460   Fin         ~> enat
  2461   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2462   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2463   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2464 
  2465 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2466 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2467 
  2468 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2469 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2470 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2471 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2472 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2473 
  2474 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2475 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2476 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2477 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2478 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2479 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2480 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2481 
  2482   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2483   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2484   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2485   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2486 
  2487 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2488 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2489 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2546   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2547   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2548     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2579 *** Document preparation ***
  2580 
  2581 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2582 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2583 same.
  2584 
  2585 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2586 result.
  2587 
  2588 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2589 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2590 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2591 
  2592 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2593 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2594 
  2595 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2596 like this:
  2597 
  2598   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2599   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2600 
  2601 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2602 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2603 layouts.
  2604 
  2605 
  2606 *** ML ***
  2607 
  2608 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2609 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2610 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2611 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2612 under external program control.
  2613 
  2614 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2615 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2616 
  2617 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2618 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2619 (better known as Proof General).
  2620 
  2621 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2622 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2623 
  2624 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2625 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2626 
  2627 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2628 (including quotes etc.).
  2629 
  2630 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2631 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2632 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2633 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2634 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2635 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2636 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2637 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2638 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2639 
  2640 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2641 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2642 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2643 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2644 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2645 
  2646 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2647 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2648 
  2649 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2650 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2651 
  2652 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2653 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2654 
  2655 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2656 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2657 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2658 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2659 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2660 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2661 proper Proof.context.
  2662 
  2663 
  2664 *** System ***
  2665 
  2666 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2667 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2668 
  2669 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2670 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2671 
  2672 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2673 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2674 
  2675   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2676   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2677   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2678   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2679   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2680 
  2681 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2682 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2683 
  2684 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2685 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2686 example:
  2687 
  2688   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2689 
  2690 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2691 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2692 
  2693 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2694 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2695 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2696 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2697 
  2698 
  2699 
  2700 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2701 ----------------------------------
  2702 
  2703 *** General ***
  2704 
  2705 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2706 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2707 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2708 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2709 like this:
  2710 
  2711   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2712 
  2713 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2714 
  2715 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2716 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2717 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2718 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2719 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2720 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2721 
  2722 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2723 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2724 the following package declarations:
  2725 
  2726   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2727   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2728 
  2729 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2730 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2731 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2732 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2733 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2734 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2735 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2736 
  2737 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2738 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2739 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2740 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2741 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2742 
  2743 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2744 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2745 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2746 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2747 
  2748 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2749 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2750 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2751 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2752 
  2753   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2766 
  2767   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2768   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2769 
  2770   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2771 
  2772   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  2776   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2777 
  2778 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2779 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2780 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2781 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2782 
  2783 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2784 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2785 
  2786   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2787   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2788 
  2789 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2790 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2791 float_token.
  2792 
  2793 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2794 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2795 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2796 
  2797 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2798 DejaVu Sans.
  2799 
  2800 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2801 
  2802 
  2803 *** Pure ***
  2804 
  2805 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2806 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2807 time.
  2808 
  2809 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2810 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2811 
  2812 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2813 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2814 
  2815 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2816 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2817 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2818 command already provided this functionality.
  2819 
  2820 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2821 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2822 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2823 without interpretations.
  2824 
  2825 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2826 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2827 
  2828 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2829 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2830 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2831 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2832 
  2833 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2834 'definition' instead.
  2835 
  2836 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2837 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2838 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2839 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2840 
  2841 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2842 constructors.
  2843 
  2844 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2845 the local file system.
  2846 
  2847 
  2848 *** HOL ***
  2849 
  2850 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2851 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2852 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2853 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2854 
  2855   declare [[coercion f]]
  2856 
  2857 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2858 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2859 
  2860   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2861 
  2862 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2863 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2864 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2865 other theories like this:
  2866 
  2867   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2868 
  2869 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2870 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2871 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2872 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2873 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2874 for examples.
  2875 
  2876 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2877 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2878 
  2879 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2880 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2881 
  2882 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2883 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2884 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2885 
  2886 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2887 functorial structure of types.
  2888 
  2889 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2890 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2891 
  2892 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2893 languages.
  2894 
  2895 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2896 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2897 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2898 
  2899 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2900 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2901 
  2902 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2903 combinators any longer.
  2904 
  2905 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2906 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2907 
  2908 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2909 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2910 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2911 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2912 
  2913   record 'a foo = ...
  2914   ...
  2915   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2916 
  2917 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2918 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2919 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2920 
  2921 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2922 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2923 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2924 
  2925 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2926 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2927 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2928 
  2929 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2930 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2931 
  2932 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2933 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2934 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2935 independently.
  2936 
  2937 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2938 counter example search.
  2939 
  2940 * Sledgehammer:
  2941   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2942     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2943     sledgehammer").
  2944   - Renamed commands:
  2945     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2946     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2947     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2948     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2949   - Renamed options:
  2950     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2951     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2952     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2953     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2954     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2955 
  2956 * Nitpick:
  2957   - Renamed options:
  2958     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2959     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2960     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2961   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2962   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2963   - Added "whack" option.
  2964   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2965   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2966   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2967   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2968     higher cardinalities.
  2969   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2970 
  2971 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2972 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2973 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2974 
  2975     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2976 
  2977 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2978 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2979 
  2980 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2981 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2982 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2983 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2984 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2985 "smt_solver".
  2986 
  2987 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2988 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2989 
  2990 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2991 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2992 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2993 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2994 
  2995 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2996   - Renamed:
  2997     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2998     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2999     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3000   - Added:
  3001     smt_verbose
  3002     smt_random_seed
  3003     smt_datatypes
  3004     smt_infer_triggers
  3005     smt_monomorph_limit
  3006     cvc3_options
  3007     remote_cvc3_options
  3008     remote_z3_options
  3009     yices_options
  3010 
  3011 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3012 header.
  3013 
  3014 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3015 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3016 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3017 
  3018   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3019 
  3020 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3021 
  3022 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3023 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3024 
  3025 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3026 
  3027 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3028 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3029 
  3030 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3031 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3032 
  3033 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3034 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3035 
  3036 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3037 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3038 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3039 
  3040 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3041 
  3042 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3043 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3044 
  3045 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3046 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3047 
  3048 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3049 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3050 for congruent(2)).
  3051 
  3052 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3053 
  3054   types
  3055     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3056     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3057 
  3058   constants
  3059     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3060     True ~> HOL.True
  3061     False ~> HOL.False
  3062     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3063     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3064     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3065     op = ~> HOL.eq

  3076     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3077     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3078     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3079     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3080     op : ~> Set.member
  3081     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3082 
  3083 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3084 
  3085 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3086 
  3087     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3088     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3089     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3090     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3091     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3092     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3093     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3094     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3095 
  3096 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3097 
  3098 * More stylized fact names:
  3099 
  3100   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3101   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3102   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3103   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3104 
  3105 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3106 
  3107 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3108 
  3109   constants
  3110     null ~> List.null
  3111 
  3112   facts
  3113     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3114     null_empty ~> null_def
  3115 
  3116 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3117 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3118 generation.
  3119 
  3120 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3121 Haskell code.
  3122 
  3123 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3124 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3125 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3126 
  3127 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3128 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3129 
  3130 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3131 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3132 
  3133 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3134 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3135 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3136 
  3137 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3138 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3139 
  3140 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3141 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3142 
  3143 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3144 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3145 referred to by its qualified name.
  3146 
  3147   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3148   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3149   product ~>  Enum.product
  3150 
  3151 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3152 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3153 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3154 
  3155 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3156 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3157 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3158 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3159 
  3160 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3161 sort_key.
  3162 
  3163 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3165 
  3166 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3167 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3168 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3169 
  3170   types
  3171     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3172               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3173               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3174         (depends on your needs)
  3175 
  3176   constants
  3177      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3178      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3179      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3180 
  3181 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3182 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3183 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3184 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3185 
  3186 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3187 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3188 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3189 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3190 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3191 
  3192 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3193 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3194 
  3195 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3196 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3197 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3198 
  3199 
  3200 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3201 
  3202 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3203 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3204 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3205 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3206 compatibility.
  3207 
  3208 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3209 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3210 
  3211 
  3212 *** HOLCF ***
  3213 
  3214 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3215 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3216 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3217 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3218 
  3219 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3220 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3221 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3222 
  3223   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3224   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3225   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3226 
  3227 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3228 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3229 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3230 
  3231 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3232 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3233 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3234 domain definition now works:
  3235 
  3236   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3237 
  3238 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3239 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3240 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3241 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3242 
  3243   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3244     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3245 
  3246   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3247 
  3248 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3249 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3250 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3251 
  3252 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3253 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3254 
  3255 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3256 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3257 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3258 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3259 
  3260 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3261 
  3262 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3263 
  3264 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3265 
  3266 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3268 
  3269 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3270 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3271 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3272 
  3273 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3274 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3275 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3276 
  3277 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3278 still supported as an input translation.
  3279 
  3280 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3281 
  3282   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3283   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3284   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3285   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3286   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3287   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3288   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3289 
  3290 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3291 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3292 
  3293   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3294   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3295   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3296   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3297   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3298   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3299 
  3300 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3301 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3302 
  3303 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3304 
  3305   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3306   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3307   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3308   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3309 
  3310 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3311 
  3312 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3313 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3314 
  3315 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3316 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3388 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3389 
  3390 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3391 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3392 
  3393 
  3394 *** ML ***
  3395 
  3396 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3397 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3398 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3399 
  3400 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3401 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3402 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3403 
  3404 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3405 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3406 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3407 
  3408 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3409 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3410 
  3411 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3412 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3413 
  3414 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3415 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3416 
  3417 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3418 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3419 
  3420 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3421 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3422 almost all situations.
  3423 
  3424 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3425 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3426 Isabelle/ML.
  3427 
  3428 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3429 meaning.
  3430 
  3431 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3432 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3433 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3434 
  3435 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3436 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3437 
  3438 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3439 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3440 
  3441 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3442 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3443 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3444 
  3445 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3446 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3447 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3448 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3449 configuration options.
  3450 
  3451 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3452 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3453 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3454 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3455 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3456 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3457 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3460 
  3461 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3462 ---------------------------------
  3463 
  3464 *** General ***
  3465 
  3466 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3467 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3468 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3469 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3470 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3471 their full internal name.
  3472 
  3473 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3474 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3475 Some hints on upgrading:
  3476 
  3477   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3478     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3479     which are independent of this issue.
  3480 
  3481   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3482     provides the following special forms:
  3483 
  3484       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3485       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3486       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3487 
  3488     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3489     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3490     extra variables".
  3491 
  3492     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3493     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3494     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3495     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3496     "logic".
  3497 
  3498   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3499     antiquotations:
  3500 
  3501       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3502       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3503       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3504       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3505 
  3506   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3507     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3508     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3509     antiquotations.
  3510 
  3511 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3512 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3513 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3514 diagnose syntax problems.
  3515 
  3516 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3517 
  3518 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3519 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3520 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3521 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3522 
  3523 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3524 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3525 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3526 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3527 
  3528 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3529 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3530 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3531 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3532 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3533 
  3534 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3535 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3536 
  3537 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3538 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3539 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3540 
  3541   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3542 
  3543 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3544 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3545 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3546 
  3547 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3548 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3549 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3550 
  3551 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3552 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3553 
  3554 
  3555 *** Pure ***
  3556 
  3557 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3558 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3559 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3560 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3561 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3562 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3563 inspect proof terms.
  3564 
  3565 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3566 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3567 are added internally.  For example:
  3568 
  3569   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3570 
  3571 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3572 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3573 
  3574 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3575 
  3576 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3577 'class' instead.
  3578 
  3579 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3580 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3581 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3582 
  3583 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3584 invariants.
  3585 
  3586 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3587 user space functionality any longer.
  3588 
  3589 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3590 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3591 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3592 
  3593 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3594 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3595 
  3596 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3597 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3598 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3599 
  3600 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3601 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3602 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3603 
  3604 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3605 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3606 
  3607 
  3608 *** HOL ***
  3609 
  3610 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3611 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3612 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3613 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3614 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3615 
  3616 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3617 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3618 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3619 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3620 
  3621   fun
  3622     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3623   where
  3624     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3625 
  3626   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3627     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3628 
  3629   quotient_definition
  3630     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3631 
  3632 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3633 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3634 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3635 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3636 
  3637 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3638 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3639 
  3640 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3641 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3642 
  3643 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3644 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3645 
  3646 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3647 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3648 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3649 
  3650 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3651 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3652 
  3653 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3654 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3655 
  3656 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3657 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3658 
  3659 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3660 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3661 
  3662 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3663 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3664 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3697 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3698 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3699 
  3700 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3701 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3702 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3703 
  3704 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3705 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3706 
  3707 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3708 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3709 
  3710 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3711 
  3712 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3713 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3714 
  3715 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3716 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3717 
  3718 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3719 
  3720 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3721 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3722 
  3723 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3724 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3725 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3726 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3727 
  3728 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3729   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3730   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3731   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3732 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3733 
  3734 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3735 lattices):
  3736

  3774 
  3775   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3776   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3777 
  3778     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3779     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3780     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3781     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3782     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3783 
  3784 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3785 
  3786 * Refined field classes:
  3787   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3788     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3789     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3790   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3792 
  3793 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3794   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3795   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3796   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3797     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3798   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3799     equal_neg_zero.
  3800 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3801 
  3802 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3803 sets to lattices:
  3804 
  3805   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3806   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3807   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3808   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3809   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3810   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3811   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3812   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3813   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3814   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3815 
  3816 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3817 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3818 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3819 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3820 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3821 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3822 
  3823 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3824 multiset order:
  3825 
  3826   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3827     <= and <;
  3828   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3829     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3830     multiset_order;
  3831   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3832     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3833     generation;
  3834   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3835     if needed.
  3836 
  3837 Renamed:
  3838 
  3839   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3840   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3841   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3842 
  3843 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3844 
  3845 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3846 
  3847 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3848 
  3849 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3850 
  3851 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3852 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3853 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3883   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3884 
  3885 * Sledgehammer:
  3886   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3887     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3888     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3889     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3890     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3891     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3892     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3893   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3894   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3895     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3896   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3897     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3898     is still experimental.)
  3899   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3900     full-typed mode.
  3901   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3902 
  3903 * Nitpick:
  3904   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3905   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3906   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3907     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3908   - Added support for quotient types.
  3909   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3910     constructs.
  3911   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3912     "termination" proofs).
  3913   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3914   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3915   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3916   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3917     record getters.
  3918   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3919   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3920   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3921   - Added "atoms" option.
  3922   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3923     problems.
  3924   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3925     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3926     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3927   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3928     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3929   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3930 
  3931 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3932   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3933   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3934   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3935   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3936   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3937   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3938   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3939   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3940   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3941 
  3942 
  3943 *** HOLCF ***
  3944 
  3945 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3946 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3947 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3948 
  3949 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3950 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3951 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3952 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3953 
  3954 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3955 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3956 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3957 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3958 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3959 
  3960 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3961 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3962 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3963 
  3964 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3965 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3966 
  3967   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3968   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3969 
  3970 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3971 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3972 
  3973   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3974   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3975   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3976   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3977   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3978 
  3979 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3980 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3981 
  3982   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3983   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3984   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3985 
  3986 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3987 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3988 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3989 
  3990 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3991 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3992 
  3993 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3994 
  3995 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3996 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3997 
  3998 
  3999 *** ML ***
  4000 
  4001 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4002 
  4003     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4004     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4005 
  4006     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4007     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4008     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4009     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4010 
  4011     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4012     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4013     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4014 
  4015 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4016 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4017 
  4018 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4019 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4020 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4021 
  4022 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4023 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4024 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4025 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4026 
  4027 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4028 the context or even global references.
  4029 
  4030 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4031 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4032 
  4033 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4034 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4035 
  4036   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4037   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4038   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4039   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4040   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4041   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4042   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4043   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4044   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4045   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4046 
  4047 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4048 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4049 
  4050 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4051 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4052 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4053 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4054 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4055 
  4056 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4057 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4058 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4059 Theory_Data version.
  4060 
  4061 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4062 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4063 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4064 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4065 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4066 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4067 explicitly in rare situations.
  4068 
  4069 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4070 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4071 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4072 
  4073 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4074 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4075 
  4076 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4077 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4078 quite rare).
  4079 
  4080 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4081 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4082 
  4083 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4084 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4085 terms.
  4086 
  4087 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4088 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4089 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4090 
  4091 
  4092 *** System ***
  4093 
  4094 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4095 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4096 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4097 
  4098 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4099 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4100 respectively.
  4101 
  4102 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4103 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4104 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4105 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4106 
  4107   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4108 
  4109 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4110 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4111 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4112 component.
  4113 
  4114 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4115 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4116 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4117 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4118 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4119 the user for manual installation.
  4120 
  4121 
  4122 
  4123 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4124 -------------------------------------
  4125 
  4126 *** General ***
  4127 
  4128 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4129 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4130 
  4131 
  4132 *** Pure ***
  4133 
  4134 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4135 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4136 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4137 
  4138 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4139 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4140 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4141 
  4142 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4143 interpretation.
  4144 
  4145 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4146 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4147 
  4148 
  4149 *** Document preparation ***
  4150 
  4151 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4152 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4153 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4154 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.

  4157 *** HOL ***
  4158 
  4159 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4160 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4161 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4162 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4163 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4164 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4165 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4166 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4167 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4168 
  4169 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4170 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4171 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4172 
  4173 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4174 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4175 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4176 
  4177 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4178 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4179 
  4180 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4181 
  4182 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4183 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4184 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4185 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4186 
  4187 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4188 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4189 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4190 "mirabelle" utility.
  4191 
  4192 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4193 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4194 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4195 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4196 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4197 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4198 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4199 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4200 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4201 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4202 
  4203 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4204 procedure only.
  4205 
  4206 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4207 
  4208 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4209 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4210 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4211 that fail later.
  4212 
  4213 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4214 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4215 
  4216 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4217 the same method as the approximation method.
  4218 
  4219 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4220 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4221 series expansion.
  4222 
  4223 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4224 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4225 
  4226 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4227 reals.
  4228 
  4229 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4230 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4231 
  4232 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4233 fixpoint theorem.
  4234 
  4235 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4236   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4237     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4238   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4239     accordingly
  4240   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4241     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4242   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4243     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4244 
  4245 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4246 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4247 lattice.
  4248 
  4249 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4250 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4251 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4252 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4253 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4254 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4255 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4256 
  4257 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4258   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4259     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4260   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4261     le_inf_iff
  4262   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4263     sup_aci)
  4264   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4265   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4266   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4267     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4268     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4269     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4270     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4271     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4272     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4273     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4274     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4275     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4276     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4277   - authentic syntax for
  4278     Set.Pow
  4279     Set.image
  4280   - mere abbreviations:
  4281     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4282     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4283     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4284     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4285     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4286     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4287     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4288     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4289   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4290 
  4291 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4292 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4293 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4294 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4295 
  4296 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4297 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4298 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4299 
  4300 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4301 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4302 
  4303 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4304 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4305 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4306 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4307 
  4308 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4309 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4310 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4311 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4312 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4313 
  4314 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4315 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4316 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4317 
  4318 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4319 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4320 
  4321 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4322 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4323 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4324 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4325 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4326 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4327 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4328 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4329 
  4330 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4331     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4332     code_post       replaces    code post
  4333     etc.
  4334   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4335 
  4336 * Renamed methods:
  4337     sizechange -> size_change
  4338     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4339   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4340 
  4341 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4342 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4343 
  4344 * Renamed theorems:
  4345     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4346     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4347     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4348     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4349     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4350   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4351 
  4352 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4353 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4354 
  4355 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4356 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4357 
  4358 
  4359 *** HOLCF ***
  4360 
  4361 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4362 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4363 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4364 
  4365 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4366 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4367 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4368 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4369 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4370 
  4371 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4372 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4373 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4374 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4375 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4376 
  4377 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4378 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4379 constructor are pre-configured.
  4380 
  4381 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4382 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4383 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4384 
  4385 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4386 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4387 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4388 as well.)
  4389 
  4390 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4391 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4392 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4393 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4394 examples.
  4395 
  4396 
  4397 *** ML ***
  4398 
  4399 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4400 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4401 
  4402 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4403 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4404 position, logical grouping etc.
  4405 
  4406 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4407 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4408 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4409 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4410 
  4411 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4412 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4413 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4414 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4415 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4416 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4417 
  4418 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4419 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4420 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4421 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4422 experiments with references.
  4423 
  4424 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4425 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4426 
  4427 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4428 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4429 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4430 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4431 
  4432 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4433 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4434 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4435 
  4436 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4437 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4438 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4439 
  4440 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4441 
  4442 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4443 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4444 
  4445 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4446 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4447 
  4448 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4449 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4450 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4451 
  4452 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4453 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4454 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4455 
  4456 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4457 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4458 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4459 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4460 
  4461 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4462 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4463 instead of global theory.
  4464 
  4465 
  4466 *** System ***
  4467 
  4468 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4469 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4470 usedir option -q.
  4471 
  4472 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4473 also the system manual.
  4474 
  4475 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4476 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4477 
  4478 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4479 this is always enabled.
  4480 
  4481 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4482 
  4483 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4484 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4485 currently supported on Linux only.
  4486 
  4487 
  4488 
  4489 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4490 --------------------------------
  4491 
  4492 *** General ***
  4493 
  4494 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4495 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4496 
  4497   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4498     "isatool."
  4499 
  4500   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4501     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4502 
  4503   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4504     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4505 
  4506 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4507 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4508 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4509 
  4510 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4511 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4512 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4513 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4514 via "isabelle emacs".
  4515 
  4516 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4517 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4518 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4519 
  4520 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4521 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4522 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4523 
  4524 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4525 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4526 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4527 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4528 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4529 
  4530 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4531 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4532 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4533 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4534 
  4535 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4536 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4537 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4538 
  4539 
  4540 *** Pure ***
  4541 
  4542 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4543 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4544 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4545 
  4546 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4547 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4548 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4549 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4550 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4551 
  4552 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4553 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4554 useful in locale declarations.
  4555 
  4556 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4557 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4558 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4559 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4560 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4561 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4562 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4563 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4564 no longer generated.
  4565 
  4566 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4567 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4568 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4569 
  4570 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4571 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4572 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4573 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4574 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4575 
  4576 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4577 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4578 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4579 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4580 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4581 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4582 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4583 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4584 
  4585 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4586 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4587 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4588 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4589 
  4590 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4591 
  4592 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4593 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4594 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4595 
  4596 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4597 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4598 
  4599 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4600 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4601 in HOL, write
  4602 
  4603     class foo = ...
  4604 
  4605 instead of
  4606 
  4607     class foo = type + ...
  4608 
  4609 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4610 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4611 
  4612 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4613 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4614 
  4615 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4616 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4617 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4618 
  4619 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4620 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4621 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4622 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4623 directly in regular applications.
  4624 
  4625 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4626 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4627 
  4628 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4629 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4630 
  4631 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4632 theory context.
  4633 
  4634 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4635 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4636 
  4637 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4638 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4639 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4640 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4641 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4642 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4643 
  4644   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4645 
  4646 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4647 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4648 normalization.
  4649 
  4650 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4651 addressing etc.
  4652 
  4653 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4654 
  4655   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4656   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4657 
  4658 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4659 
  4660   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4661      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4662      parts of the code generator framework).
  4663 
  4664   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4665      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4666      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4667 
  4668 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4669 
  4670 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4671 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4672 
  4673 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4674 patterns, e.g.
  4675 
  4676     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4677 
  4678 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4679 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4680 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4681 hyphen:
  4682 
  4683     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4684 
  4685 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4686 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4687 
  4688 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4689 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4690 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4691 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4692 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4693 higher-order unification.
  4694 
  4695 
  4696 *** Document preparation ***
  4697 
  4698 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4699 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4700 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4701 
  4702 
  4703 *** HOL ***
  4704 
  4705 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4706 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4707 
  4708 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4709 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4710 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4711 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4712 Main, as before.
  4713 
  4714 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4715 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4716 
  4717 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4718 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4719 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4720 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4721 
  4722 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4723 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4724 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4725 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4726 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4727 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4728 
  4729 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4730 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4731 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4732 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4733 
  4734 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4735 menu.
  4736 
  4737 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4738 (contains the empty clause).
  4739 
  4740 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4741 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4742 
  4743 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4744 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4745 
  4746 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4747 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4748 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4749 
  4750 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4751 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4752 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4753 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4754 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4755 
  4756 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4757 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4758 
  4759 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4760 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4761 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4762 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4763 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4764 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4765 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4766 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4767 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4768 
  4769 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4770 
  4771 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4772 
  4773 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4774 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4775 
  4776 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4777 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4778 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4779 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4780 
  4781 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4782 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4783 
  4784     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4785     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4786     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4787     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4788     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4789     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4790     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4791     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4792 
  4793 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4794 theory Set.
  4795 
  4796 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4797 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4798 
  4799 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4800 
  4801 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4802 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4803 
  4804 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4805 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4806 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4807 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4808 allowed. For examples see
  4809 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4810 
  4811 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4812 
  4813 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4814 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4815 
  4816 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4817 structure:

  4870 
  4871 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4872 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4873 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4874 
  4875 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4876 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4877 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4878 
  4879 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4880 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4881 
  4882 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4883 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4884 
  4885 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4886 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4887 proofs, e.g.
  4888 
  4889   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4890 
  4891 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4892 
  4893 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4894 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4895 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4896 
  4897 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4898 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4899 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4900 
  4901 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4902 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4903 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4904 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4905 
  4906 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4907 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4908 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4909 preorder_class.*.
  4910 
  4911 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4912 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4913 
  4914 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4915 
  4916   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4917 
  4918 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4919 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4920 fold_image.
  4921 
  4922 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4923 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4924 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4925 the former will disappear at some point.
  4926 
  4927 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4928 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4929 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4930 
  4931 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4932 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4933 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4934 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4935 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4936 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4937 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4938 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4939 
  4940 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4941 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4942 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4943 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4944 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4945 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4946 
  4947     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4948     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4949     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4950     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4951     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4952     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4953     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4954 
  4955 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4956 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4957 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4958 
  4959 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4960 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  4966 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4967 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4968 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4969 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4970 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2

  4973 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left

  4978 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4979 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4980 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2

  5003 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5004 
  5005 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5006 
  5007 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5008 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5009 
  5010 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5011 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5012 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5013 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5014 
  5015 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5016 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5017 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5018 theory RealVector.
  5019 
  5020 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5021 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5022 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5023 and inner products are included.
  5024 
  5025 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5026 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5027 supported.
  5028 
  5029 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5030 first diagonalization argument.
  5031 
  5032 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5033 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5034 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5035 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5036 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5037 
  5038     hide (open) const gcd
  5039     abbreviation gcd where
  5040       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5041     notation (output)
  5042       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5043 
  5044 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5045 
  5046 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5047 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5048 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5049 
  5050 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5051 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5052 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5053 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5054 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5055 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5056 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5057 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5058 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5059 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5060 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5061 cases.
  5062 
  5063 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5064 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5065 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5066 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5067 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5068 
  5069     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5070     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5071     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5072     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5073     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5074 
  5075 
  5076 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5077 
  5078 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5079 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5080 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5081 
  5082 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5083 
  5084 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5085 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5086 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5087 
  5088 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5089 
  5090 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5091 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5092 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5093 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5094 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5095 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5096 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5097 
  5098 
  5099 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5100 
  5101 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5102 
  5103 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5104 theory targets.
  5105 
  5106 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5107 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5108 'inductive' etc.
  5109 
  5110 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5111 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5112 
  5113 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5114 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5115 
  5116 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5117 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5118 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5119 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5120 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5121 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5122 the algorithm W:
  5123 
  5124  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5125  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5126          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5127 
  5128 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5129 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5130 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5131 
  5132 
  5133 *** HOLCF ***
  5134 
  5135 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5136 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5137 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5138 
  5139 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5140 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5141 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5142 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5143 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5144 
  5145 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5146 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5147 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5148 
  5149 
  5150 *** ZF ***
  5151 
  5152 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5153 
  5154 
  5155 *** ML ***
  5156 
  5157 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5158 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5159 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5160 5.2.1!
  5161 
  5162 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5163 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5164 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5165 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5166 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5167 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5168 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5169 
  5170 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5171 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5172 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5173 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5174 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5175 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5176 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5177 
  5178 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5179 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5180 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5181 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5182 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5183 
  5184 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5185 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5186 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5187 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5188 Method.add_method.
  5189 
  5190 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5191 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5192 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5193 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5194 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5195 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5196 
  5197 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5198 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5199 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5200 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5201 examples.
  5202 
  5203 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5204 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5205 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5206 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5207 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5208 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5209 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5210 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5211 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5212 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5213 
  5214 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5215 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5216 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5217 
  5218 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5219 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5220 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5221 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5222 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5223 resort for legacy applications.
  5224 
  5225 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5226 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5227 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5228 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5229 explicit runtime argument.
  5230 
  5231 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5232 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5233 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5234 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5235 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5236 
  5237 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5238 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5239 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5240 theory state.
  5241 
  5242 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5243 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5244 
  5245   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5246   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5247   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5248   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5249   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5250   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5251   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5252   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5253   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5254   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5255 
  5256 
  5257 *** System ***
  5258 
  5259 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5260 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5261 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5262 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5263 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5264 
  5265 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5266 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5267 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5268 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5269 
  5270 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5271 
  5272 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5273 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5274 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5275 prover operations.
  5276 
  5277 
  5278 
  5279 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5280 -------------------------------
  5281 
  5282 *** General ***
  5283 
  5284 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5285 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5286 
  5287 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5288 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5289 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5290 provides a proper context already.
  5291 
  5292 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5293 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5294 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5295 
  5296 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5297 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5298 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5299 swap theory imports.
  5300 
  5301 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5302 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5303 
  5304 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5305 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5306 white space without escapes.
  5307 
  5308 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5309 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5310 "foo_bar".
  5311 
  5312 
  5313 *** Pure ***
  5314 
  5315 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5316 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5317 
  5318 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5319 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5320 
  5321 (1) unused_thms
  5322      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5323 
  5324 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5325      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5326      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5327 
  5328 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5329      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5330      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5331      their ancestors.
  5332 
  5333 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5334 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5335 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5336 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5337 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5338 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5339 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5340 
  5341 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5342 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5343 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5344 
  5345 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5346 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5347 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5348 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5349 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5350 
  5351 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5352 
  5353 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5354 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5355 update of theories within ML code.
  5356 
  5357 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5358 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5359 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5360 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5361 
  5362 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5363 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5364 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5365 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5366 
  5367 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5368 
  5369 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5370 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5371 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5372 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5373 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5374 
  5375 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5376 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5377 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5378 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5379 situations.
  5380 
  5381 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5382 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5383 proof text.
  5384 
  5385 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5386 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5387 
  5388 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5389 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5390 predicates.
  5391 
  5392 
  5393 *** Document preparation ***
  5394 
  5395 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5396 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5397 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5398 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5399 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5400 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5401 
  5402 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5403 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5404 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5405 
  5406 
  5407 *** HOL ***
  5408 
  5409 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5410 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5411 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5412 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5413 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5414 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5415 
  5416 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5417 with multithreading.
  5418 
  5419 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5420 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5421 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5422 
  5423 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5424 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5425 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5426 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5427 
  5428 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5429 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5430 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5431 and makes them available separately.  See
  5432 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5433 
  5434 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5435 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5436 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5437 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5438 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5439 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5440 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5441 the declared rules.
  5442 
  5443 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5444 
  5445   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5446 
  5447 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5448 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5449 
  5450 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5451 
  5452   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5453 
  5454   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5455     definitions on => and bool.
  5456 
  5457   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5458     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5459     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5460 
  5461       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5462       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5463       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5464       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5465       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5466       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5467       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5468       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5469 
  5470   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5471     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5472     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5473 
  5474   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5475     The proof pattern
  5476 
  5477       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5478       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5479 
  5480     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5481     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5482 
  5483       have "EX S. P S"
  5484       proof
  5485         show "P S" <...>
  5486       qed
  5487 
  5488   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5489     The proof pattern
  5490 
  5491       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5492       also have "S = T" <...>
  5493       finally have "P T" .
  5494 
  5495     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5496     must be replaced by something like
  5497 
  5498       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5499       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5500       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5501 
  5502   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5503     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5504 
  5505       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5506 
  5507     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5508     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5509     type of the form
  5510 
  5511       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5512 
  5513     rather than
  5514 
  5515       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5516 
  5517 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5518 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5519 
  5520 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5521 
  5522 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5523 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5524 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5525 
  5526 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5527 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5528 
  5529 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5530 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5531 
  5532 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5533 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5534 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5535 
  5536 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5537 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5538 
  5539   less_trans
  5540   less_linear
  5541   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5542   le_less_trans
  5543   less_le_trans
  5544   less_not_sym
  5545   less_asym
  5546 
  5547 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5548 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5549 and different variable names.
  5550 
  5551 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5552 
  5553 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5554 finite maps.
  5555 
  5556 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5557 
  5558 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5559 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5560 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5561 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5562 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5563 accordingly.
  5564 
  5565 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5566 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5567 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5568 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5569 
  5570 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5571 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5572 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5573 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5574 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5575 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5576 
  5577 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5578 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5579 
  5580 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5581 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5582 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5583 
  5584 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5585 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5586 
  5587 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5588 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5589 
  5590 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5591 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5592 
  5593 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5594 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5595 
  5596 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5597 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5598 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5599 
  5600 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5601 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5602 
  5603 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5604 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5605 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5606 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5607 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5608 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5609 
  5610 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5611 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5612 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5613 
  5614 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5615 
  5616 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5617 
  5618 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5619 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5620 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5621 
  5622 
  5623 *** ZF ***
  5624 
  5625 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5626 same session:
  5627 
  5628   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5629   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5630   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5631   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5632   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5633   List      -> List_ZF
  5634   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5635 
  5636 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5637 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5638 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5639 
  5640 
  5641 *** ML ***
  5642 
  5643 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5644 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5645 
  5646 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5647 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5648 
  5649 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5650 
  5651 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5652 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5653 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5654 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5655 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5656 
  5657 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5658 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5659 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5660 
  5661 
  5662 *** System ***
  5663 
  5664 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5665 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5666 
  5667 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5668 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5669 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5670 
  5671 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5672 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5673 
  5674 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5675 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5676 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5677 
  5678 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5679 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5680 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5681 
  5682 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5683 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5684 
  5685 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5686 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5687 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5688 script.
  5689 
  5690 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5691 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5692 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5693 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5694 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5695 
  5696 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5697 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5698 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5699 
  5700 
  5701 
  5702 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5703 -----------------------------------
  5704 
  5705 *** General ***
  5706 
  5707 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5708 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5709 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5710 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5711 
  5712 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5713 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5714 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5715 
  5716 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5717 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5718 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5719 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5720 
  5721 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5722 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5723 quotes.
  5724 
  5725 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5726 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5727 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5728 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5729 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5730 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5731 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5732 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5733 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5734 
  5735 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5736 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5737 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5738 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5739 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5740 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5741 
  5742 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5743 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5744 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5745 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5746 
  5747 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5748 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5749 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5750 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5751 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5752 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5753 
  5754 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5755 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5756 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5757 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5758 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5759 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5760 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5761 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5762 
  5763 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5764 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5765 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5766 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5767 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5768 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5769 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5770 
  5771 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5772 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5773 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5774 
  5775 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5776 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5777 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5778 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5779 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5780 limit is imposed.
  5781 
  5782 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5783 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5784 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5785 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5786 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5787 and scalability.
  5788 
  5789 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5790 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5791 
  5792 
  5793 *** Document preparation ***
  5794 
  5795 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5796 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5797 current context.
  5798 
  5799 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5800 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5801 
  5802 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5803 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5804 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5805 
  5806 
  5807 *** Pure ***
  5808 
  5809 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5810 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5811 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5812 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5813 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5814 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5815 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5816 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5817 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5818 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5819 
  5820 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5821 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5822 sketch:
  5823 
  5824     internal compilation:
  5825         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5826     writing SML code to a file:
  5827         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5828     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5829         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5830     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5831         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5832 
  5833     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5834         method ``eval''
  5835 
  5836 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5837 
  5838 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5839 
  5840     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5841     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5842     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5843     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5844 
  5845 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5846 
  5847     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5848       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5849 
  5850     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5851       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5852 
  5853     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5854       {(target)}+
  5855         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5856 
  5857     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5858       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5859         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5860 
  5861 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5862 
  5863 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5864 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5865 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5866 codegen".
  5867 
  5868 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5869 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5870 annotations).
  5871 
  5872 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5873 syntax.
  5874 
  5875 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5876 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5877 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5878 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5879 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5880 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5881 
  5882 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5883 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5884 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5885 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5886 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5887 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5888 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5889 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5890 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5891 equations, see section "definitions".
  5892 
  5893 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5894 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5895 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5896 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5897 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5898 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5899 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5900 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5901 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5902 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5903 
  5904 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5905 configuration options:
  5906 
  5907   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5908   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5909   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5910   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5911   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5912   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5913   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5914   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5915   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5916 
  5917 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5918 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5919 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5920 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5921 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5922 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5923 order.
  5924 
  5925 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5926 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5927 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5928 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5929 context encountered later on.
  5930 
  5931 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5932 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5933 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5934 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5935 
  5936 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5937 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5938 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5939 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5940 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5941 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5942 
  5943 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5944 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5945 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5946 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5947 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5948 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5949 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5950 more permissive.
  5951 
  5952 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5953 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5954 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5955 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5956 maintainability of proof texts.
  5957 
  5958 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5959 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5960 
  5961   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5962   then guess x and y by clarify
  5963 
  5964 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5965 proof tools being involved here.
  5966 
  5967 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5968 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5969 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5970 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5971 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5972 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5973 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5974 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5975 
  5976 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5977 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5978 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5979 
  5980   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5981   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5982   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5983   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5984 
  5985 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5986 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5987 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5988 
  5989 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5990 both named and unnamed ones.
  5991 
  5992 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5993 
  5994   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5995 
  5996 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5997 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5998 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5999 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6000 
  6001 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6002 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6003 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6004 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6005 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6006 
  6007 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6008 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6009 
  6010 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6011 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6012 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6013 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6014 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6015 originally first one.
  6016 
  6017 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6018 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6019 expected.
  6020 
  6021 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6022 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6023 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6024 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6025 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6026 
  6027   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6028     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6029     obtains x where "P x"
  6030 
  6031   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6032     assumes "A & B"
  6033     obtains A and B
  6034 
  6035   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6036     assumes "A | B"
  6037     obtains
  6038       A
  6039     | B
  6040 
  6041 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6042 explicitly:
  6043 
  6044   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6045     obtains "~ thesis"
  6046 
  6047   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6048     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6049 
  6050 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6051 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6052 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6053 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6054 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6055 case_names).
  6056 
  6057 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6058 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6059 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6060 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6061 
  6062 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6063 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6064 top-level lemma.
  6065 
  6066 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6067 introduction rule (default "that").
  6068 
  6069 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6070 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6071 to occur.
  6072 
  6073 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6074 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6075 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6076 representations independently of name spaces.
  6077 
  6078 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6079 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6080 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6081 
  6082 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6083 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6084 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6085 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6086 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6087 current context.
  6088 
  6089 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6090 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6091 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6092 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6093 
  6094   axiomatization
  6095     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6096     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6097 
  6098   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6099   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6100 
  6101   abbreviation
  6102     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6103     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6104 
  6105 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6106 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6107 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6108 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6109 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6110 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6111 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6112 
  6113 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6114 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6115 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6116 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6117 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6118 
  6119 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6120 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6121 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6122 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6123 
  6124 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6125 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6126 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6127 
  6128   definition "K x _ = x"
  6129 
  6130   inductive conj for A B
  6131   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6132 
  6133 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6134 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6135 abbreviations on output.
  6136 
  6137 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6138 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6139 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6140 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6141 
  6142 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6143 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6144 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6145 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6146 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6147 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6148 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6149 
  6150 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6151 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6152 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6153 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6154 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6155 
  6156 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6157 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6158 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6159 
  6160 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6161 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6162 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6163 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6164 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6165 
  6166   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6167     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6168 
  6169 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6170 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6171 partial_order.
  6172 
  6173 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6174 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6175 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6176 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6177 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6178 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6179 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6180 examples.
  6181 
  6182 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6183 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6184 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6185 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6186 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6187 
  6188 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6189 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6190 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6191 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6192 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6193 
  6194   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6195   (induct set: foo bar)
  6196   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6197   (induct type: foo bar)
  6198 
  6199 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6200 new format.
  6201 
  6202 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6203 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6204 
  6205 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6206 considered a legacy feature.
  6207 
  6208 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6209 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6210 
  6211 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6212 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6213 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6214 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6215   
  6216 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6217 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6218 manipulating the claset.
  6219 
  6220 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6221 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6222 least one premise.
  6223 
  6224 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6225 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6226 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6227 rule steps.
  6228 
  6229 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6230 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6231 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6232 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6233 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6234 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6235 
  6236 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6237 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6238 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6239 
  6240 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6241 the graph browser tool.
  6242 
  6243 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6244 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6245 
  6246 
  6247 *** HOL ***
  6248 
  6249 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6250 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6251 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6252 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6253 multi-threading.
  6254   
  6255 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6256 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6257 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6258 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6259 work with multi-threading.
  6260 
  6261 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6262 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6263 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6264 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6265 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6266 
  6267 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6268 
  6269 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6270 equality.
  6271

  6296 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6297 
  6298 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6299 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6300 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6301 names.
  6302 
  6303 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6304 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6305 
  6306 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6307 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6308 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6309 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6310 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6311 
  6312 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6313 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6314 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6315 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6316 
  6317 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6318 
  6319 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6320 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6321 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6322 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6323 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6324 
  6325 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6326 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6327 
  6328 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6329 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6330 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6331 
  6332 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6333 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6334 
  6335 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6336 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6337 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6338 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6339 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6340 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6341 in the current context.
  6342 
  6343 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6344 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6345 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6346 
  6347 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6348 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6349 
  6350 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6351 
  6352     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6353     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6354 
  6355     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6356       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6357     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6358     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6359 
  6360     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6361     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6362

  6465 
  6466 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6467 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6468 
  6469 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6470 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6471 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6472 "*.size".
  6473 
  6474 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6475 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6476 
  6477 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6478 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6479 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6480 
  6481 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6482 
  6483 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6484 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6485 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6486 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6487 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6488 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6489 numerals on all operations.
  6490 
  6491 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6492 
  6493 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6494 
  6495 * Code generator library theories:
  6496   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6497     languages.
  6498   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6499     languages.
  6500   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6501     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6502   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6503   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6504     denominator).
  6505   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6506     representable by rational numbers.
  6507   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6508     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6509     includes Code_Integer.
  6510   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6511     target-language built-in integers.
  6512   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6513     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6514 
  6515 * New package for inductive predicates
  6516 
  6517   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6518 
  6519     inductive
  6520       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6521       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6522     where
  6523       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6524     | ...
  6525 
  6526   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6527 
  6528     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6529 
  6530     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6531     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6532 
  6533     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6534     intros
  6535       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6536       ...
  6537 
  6538   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6539   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6540 
  6541     inductive_set
  6542       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6543       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6544     where
  6545       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6546     | ...
  6547 
  6548   or
  6549 
  6550     inductive_set
  6551       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6552       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6553       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6554     where
  6555       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6556     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6557     | ...
  6558 
  6559   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6560 
  6561   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6562   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6563 
  6564   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6565 
  6566   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6567     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6568     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6569     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6570     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6571 
  6572   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6573     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6574     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6575     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6576     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6577     statements of the form
  6578 
  6579       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6580 
  6581     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6582     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6583 
  6584       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6585 
  6586   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6587 
  6588       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6589         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6590         ==> ... ==> P
  6591 
  6592     for predicates and
  6593 
  6594       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6595         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6596         ==> ... ==> P
  6597 
  6598     for sets rather than
  6599 
  6600       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6601         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6602         ==> ... ==> P
  6603 
  6604     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6605     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6606     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6607 
  6608   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6609     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6610     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6611 
  6612 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6613 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6614 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6615 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6616 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6617 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6618 
  6619 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6620 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6621 
  6622 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6623 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6624 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6625 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6626 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6627 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6628 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6629 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6630 variable.
  6631 
  6632 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6633 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6634 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6635 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6636   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6637   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6638 
  6639 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6640 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6641 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6642 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6643 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6644 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6645 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6646 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6647 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6648 
  6649 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6650 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6651 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6652 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6653 rat, etc.
  6654 
  6655 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6656 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6657 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6658 
  6659 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6660 
  6661 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6662 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6663 
  6664 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6665 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6666 
  6667 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6668 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6669 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6670 
  6671 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6672 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6673 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6674 
  6675 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6676 
  6677 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6678 
  6679 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6680 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6681 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6682 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6683 
  6684 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6685 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6686 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6687 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6688 
  6689 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6690 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6691 algebraic operations.
  6692 
  6693 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6694 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6695 
  6696 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6697 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6698 
  6699 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6700 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6701 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6702 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6703 adapted.
  6704  
  6705 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6706 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6707 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6708 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6709 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6710 
  6711 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6712 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6713 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6714 
  6715 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6716 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6717 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6718 
  6719 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6720 
  6721 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6722 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6723 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6724   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6725       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6726   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6727   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6728   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6729 
  6730 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6731 
  6732 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6733 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6734 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6735 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6736 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6737 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6738 
  6739 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6740 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6741 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6742 
  6743 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6744 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6745 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6746 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6747 
  6748 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6749 
  6750 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6751 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6752 
  6753 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6754 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6755 
  6756 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6757 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6758 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6759 
  6760 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6761 True/False.
  6762 
  6763 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6764 
  6765 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6766 
  6767 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6768 ``rule'' method.
  6769 
  6770 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6771 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6772 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6773 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6774 
  6775 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6776 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6777 
  6778 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6779 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6780 
  6781 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6782 Library.
  6783 
  6784 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6785 
  6786 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6787 as greatest fixed-point.
  6788 
  6789 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6790 association lists.
  6791 
  6792 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6793 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6794 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6795 
  6796 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6797 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6798 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6799 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6800 behavior.
  6801 
  6802 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6803 
  6804 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6805 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6806 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6807 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6808 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6809 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6810 
  6811 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6812 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6813 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6814 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6815 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6816 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6817 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6818 
  6819 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6820 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6821 
  6822 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6823 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6824 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6825 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6826 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6827 
  6828 
  6829 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6830 
  6831 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6832 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6833 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6834 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6835 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6836 
  6837 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6838 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6839 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6840 
  6841 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6842 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6843 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6844 
  6845 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6846 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6847 
  6848 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6849 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6850 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6851 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6867   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6868 
  6869 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6870 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6871 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6872 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6883 
  6884 
  6885 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6886 
  6887 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6888 
  6889 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6890 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6891 
  6892 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6893 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6894 
  6895 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6896 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6897 of algebraic structures.
  6898 
  6899 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6900 
  6901 
  6902 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6903 
  6904 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6905 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6906 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6907 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6908 
  6909 
  6910 *** ML ***
  6911 
  6912 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6913 (even on SML/NJ).
  6914 
  6915 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6916 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6917 compile-time.  For example:
  6918 
  6919 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6920 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6921 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6922 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6923 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6924 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6925 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6926 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6927 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6928 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6929 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6930 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6931 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6932 ML {* @{context} *}
  6933 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6934 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6935 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6936 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6937 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6938 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6939 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6940 
  6941 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6942 
  6943 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6944 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6945 
  6946 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6947 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6948 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6949 
  6950 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6951 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6952 
  6953 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6954 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6955 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6956 
  6957 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6958 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6959 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6960 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6961 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6962 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6963 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6964 declarations and definitions.
  6965 
  6966 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6967 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6968 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6969 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6970 
  6971 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6972 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6973 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6974 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6975 
  6976 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6977 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6978 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6979 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6980 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6981 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6982 
  6983 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6984 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6985 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6986 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6987 attributes, methods, etc.
  6988 
  6989 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6990 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6991 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6992 fold_map combinators.
  6993 
  6994 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6995 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6996 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6997 derivation.
  6998 
  6999 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7000 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7001 achieve the old behaviour.
  7002 
  7003 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7004 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7005 statements.
  7006 
  7007 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7008 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7009 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7010 
  7011 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7012 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7013 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7014 
  7015   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7016   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7017   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7018 
  7019 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7020 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7021 
  7022 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7023 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7024 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7025 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7026 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7027 
  7028 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7029 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7030 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7031 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7032 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7033 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7034 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7035 in a locale context).
  7036 
  7037 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7038 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7039 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7040 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7041 
  7042 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7043 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7044 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7045 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7046 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7047 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7048 
  7049 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7050 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7051 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7052 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7053 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7054 
  7055   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7056 
  7057 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7058 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7059 this:
  7060 
  7061   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7062 
  7063 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7064 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7065 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7066 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7067 
  7068 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7069 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7070 
  7071 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7072 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7073 
  7074 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7075 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7076 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7077 batch mode.
  7078 
  7079 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7080 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7081 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7082 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7083 
  7084 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7085 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7086 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7087 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7088 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7089 
  7090 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7091 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7092 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7093 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7094 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7095 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7096 
  7097 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7098 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7099 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7100 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7101 
  7102 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7103 "Trueprop" etc.
  7104 
  7105 
  7106 *** System ***
  7107 
  7108 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7109 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7110 Isabelle installations.
  7111 
  7112 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7113 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7114 code.
  7115 
  7116 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7117 
  7118 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7119 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7120 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7121 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7122 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7123 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7124 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7125 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7126 Implementation manual.
  7127 
  7128 
  7129 
  7130 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7131 ----------------------------------
  7132 
  7133 *** General ***
  7134 
  7135 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7136 
  7137   theory <name>
  7138   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7139   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7140   begin
  7141 
  7142 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7143 
  7144   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7145 
  7146 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7147 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7148 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7149 
  7150 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7151 relative and absolute paths.
  7152 
  7153 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7154 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7155 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7156 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7157 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7158 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7159 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7160 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7161 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7162 
  7163   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7164 
  7165 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7166 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7167 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7168 
  7169 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7170 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7171 
  7172 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7173 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7174 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7175 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7176 
  7177   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7178   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7179 
  7180 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7181 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7182 faster.
  7183 
  7184 
  7185 *** Document preparation ***
  7186 
  7187 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7188 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7189 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7190 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7191 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7192 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7193 
  7194 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7195 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7196 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7197 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7198 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7199 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7200 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7201 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7202 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7203 \isadroptag.
  7204 
  7205 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7206 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7207 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7208 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7209 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7210 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7211 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7212 specified above.
  7213 
  7214 * Several new antiquotations:
  7215 
  7216   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7217 
  7218   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7219 
  7220   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7221   argument is a known logical constant;
  7222 
  7223   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7224   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7225 
  7226   @{ML text}
  7227 
  7228 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7229 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7230 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7231 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7232 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7233 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7234 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7235 
  7236 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7237 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7238 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7239 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7240 
  7241 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7242 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7243 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7244 
  7245 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7246 a proof context.
  7247 
  7248 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7249 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7250 
  7251 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7252 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7253 
  7254 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7255 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7256 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7257 
  7258 
  7259 *** Pure ***
  7260 
  7261 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7262 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7263 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7264 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7265 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7266 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7267 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7268 
  7269 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7270 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7271 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7272 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7273 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7274 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7275 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7276 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7277 
  7278 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7279 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7280 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7281 
  7282 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7283 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7284 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7285 
  7286 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7287 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7288 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7289 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7290 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7291 
  7292 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7293 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7294 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7295 axclasses vs. locales.
  7296 
  7297 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7298 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7299 
  7300 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7301 marks in schematic variable names.
  7302 
  7303 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7304 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7305 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7306 
  7307   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7308     by simp
  7309 
  7310 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7311 
  7312 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7313 annotations as "(00...)".
  7314 
  7315 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7316 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7317 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7318 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7319 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7320 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7321 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7322 
  7323 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7324 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7325 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7326 specifications.
  7327 
  7328 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7329 locally fixed variables as well.
  7330 
  7331 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7332 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7333 Limit.
  7334 
  7335 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7336 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7337 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7338 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7339 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7340 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7341 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7342 
  7343 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7344 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7345 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7346 
  7347 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7348 
  7349 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7350 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7351 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7352 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7353 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7354 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7355 
  7356 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7357 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7358 
  7359 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7360 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7361 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7362 
  7363 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7364 
  7365 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7366 theory development.
  7367 
  7368 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7369 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7370 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7371 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7372 
  7373 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7374 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7375 quoted when used as identifier.
  7376 
  7377 
  7378 *** Locales ***
  7379 
  7380 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7381 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7382 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7383 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7384 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7385 commands is a follows:
  7386 
  7387   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7388   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7389   (3) interpret expr inst
  7390 
  7391 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7392 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7393 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7394 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7395 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7396 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7397 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7398 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7399 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7400 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7401 
  7402 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7403 'interpret' instead.
  7404 
  7405 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7406 parameters.
  7407 
  7408 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7409 redeclaration.
  7410 
  7411 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7412 
  7413 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7414 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7415 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7416 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7417 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7418 
  7419 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7420 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7421 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7422 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7423 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7424 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7425 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7426 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7427 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7428 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7429 
  7430 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7431 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7432 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7433 
  7434 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7435 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7436 
  7437 
  7438 *** Provers ***
  7439 
  7440 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7441 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7442 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7443 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7444 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7445 
  7446 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7447 and quasi orders.
  7448 
  7449 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7450 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7451 
  7452 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7453 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7454 
  7455 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7456 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7457 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7458 
  7459 
  7460 *** HOL ***
  7461 
  7462 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7463 
  7464   syntax (epsilon)
  7465     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7466 
  7467 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7468 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7469 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7470 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7471 
  7472 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7473 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7474 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7475 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7476 
  7477 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7478 instead of ":".
  7479 
  7480 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7481 
  7482   Old       New
  7483   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7484   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7485   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7486   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7487   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7488 
  7489 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7490 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7491 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7492 
  7493   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7494   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7495 
  7496 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7497 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7498 interface.
  7499 
  7500 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7501 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7502 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7503 be a tuple pattern.
  7504 
  7505 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7506 
  7507   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7508   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7509   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7510   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7511 
  7512 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7513 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7514 
  7515 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7516 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7517 (insert F x)'.
  7518 
  7519 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7520 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7521 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7522 
  7523 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7524 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7525 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7526 
  7527 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7528 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7529 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7530 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7531 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7532 
  7533 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7534 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7535 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7536 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7537 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7538 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7539 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7540 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7541 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7542 
  7543 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7544 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7545 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7546 quite long.
  7547 
  7548 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7549 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7550 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7551 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7552 
  7553 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7554 type-variables in the term.
  7555 
  7556 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7557 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7558 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7559 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7560 goals than previously.
  7561 
  7562 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7563 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7564 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7565 just like y <= x.
  7566 
  7567 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7568 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7569 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7570 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7571 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7572 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7573 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7574 
  7575 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7576 
  7577 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7578 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7579 
  7580 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7581 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7582 inequalities.
  7583 
  7584 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7585 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7586 
  7587   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7588   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  7594   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7595   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7596   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7597   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7598 
  7599 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7600      
  7601      zero_le_square
  7602      not_square_less_zero 
  7603 
  7604   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7605   
  7606      realpow_zero_zero
  7607      realpow_two
  7608      realpow_less

  7610      realpow_two_le
  7611      abs_realpow_two
  7612      realpow_two_abs     
  7613 
  7614 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7615 
  7616 * Theory List:
  7617 
  7618 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7619 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7620 
  7621   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7622   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7623   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7624   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7625 
  7626 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7627 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7628 
  7629 
  7630 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7631 
  7632 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7633 integers in the reals.
  7634 
  7635 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7636 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7637 
  7638   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7639   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7640   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7641   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7642   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7643 
  7644 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7645 
  7646 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7647 
  7648 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7649 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7650 
  7651   hypreal = real star
  7652   hypnat = nat star
  7653   hcomplex = complex star
  7654 
  7655 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7656 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7657

  7671 
  7672 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7673 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7699 
  7700 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7701 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7702 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

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

 10610 
 10611 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10612 ---------------------------------
 10613 
 10614 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10615 
 10616 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10617 
 10618 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10619 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10620 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10621 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10622 
 10623 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10624 
 10625 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10626 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10627 
 10628 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10629 
 10630 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10631 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10632 
 10633 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10634 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10635 
 10636 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10637 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10638 
 10639 
 10640 
 10641 New in Isabelle94-6
 10642 -------------------
 10643 
 10644 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10645 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10646 
 10647 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10648 
 10649 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10650 
 10651 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10652 
 10653 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10654 
 10655 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10656 
 10657 
 10658 
 10659 New in Isabelle94-5
 10660 -------------------
 10661 
 10662 * reduced space requirements;
 10663 
 10664 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10665 
 10666 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10667 
 10668 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10669 
 10670 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10671 
 10672 
 10673 
 10674 New in Isabelle94-4
 10675 -------------------
 10676 
 10677 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10678 
 10679 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10680 
 10681 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10682 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10683 
 10684 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10685 Axiom of Choice;
 10686 
 10687 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10688 
 10689 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10690 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10691 
 10692 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10693 
 10694 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10695 translates to the operator "split";
 10696 
 10697 
 10698 
 10699 New in Isabelle94-3
 10700 -------------------
 10701 
 10702 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10703 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10704         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10705 
 10706 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10707 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10708 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10709 
 10710 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10711 
 10712 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10713 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10714 
 10715 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10716 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10717 
 10718 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10719 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10720 
 10721 
 10722 
 10723 New in Isabelle94-2
 10724 -------------------
 10725 
 10726 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10727 
 10728 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10729 freely;
 10730 
 10731 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10732 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10733 
 10734 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10735 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10736 (theory_of_thm);
 10737 
 10738 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10739 
 10740 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10741 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10742 
 10743 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10744 have been removed;
 10745 
 10746 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10747 
 10748 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10749 
 10750 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10751 types;
