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    13 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by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

   861     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   862     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   863     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   864 
   865 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   866 
   867 * HOL/Probability:
   868 
   869   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   870 
   871   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   872     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   873     (borel_measurable_induct).
   874 
   875   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   876     projective family).
   877 
   878 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   879 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   880 
   881 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   882 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   883 datatypes.
   884 
   885 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   886 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   887 
   888 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   889 trees for the code generator.
   890 
   891 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   892 Lifting/Transfer.
   893 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   894 
   895 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   896 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   897 
   898 
   899 *** Document preparation ***
   900 
   901 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   902 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   903 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   904 
   905 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   906 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   907 
   908 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   909 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   910 document/root.tex.
   911 
   912 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   913 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   914 
   915 
   916 *** ML ***
   917 
   918 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   919 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   920 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   921 
   922 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   923 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   924 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   925 
   926 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   927 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   928 necessarily printing visible text.
   929 
   930 
   931 *** System ***
   932 
   933 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   934 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   935 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   936 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   937 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   938 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   939 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   940 
   941 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   942 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   943 
   944   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   945 
   946 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   947 
   948 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   949 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   950 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   951 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   952 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   953 
   954 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   955 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   956 
   957 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   958 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   959 
   960 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   961 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   962 
   963 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   964 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   965 version of Isabelle.
   966 
   967 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   968 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   969 
   970 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   971 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   972 for home-made settings.
   973 
   974 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   975 
   976 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   977 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   978 configuration.
   979 
   980 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   981 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   982 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   983 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   984 bundled as Isabelle component.
   985 
   986 
   987 
   988 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   989 ------------------------------
   990 
   991 *** General ***
   992 
   993 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   994 
   995   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   996     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   997   - markup for bound variables
   998   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   999   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1000   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1001     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1002 
  1003 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1004 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1005 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1006 
  1007 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1008 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1009 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1010 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1011 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1012 
  1013   context
  1014     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1015     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1016   begin
  1017 
  1018   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1019 
  1020   end
  1021 
  1022   thm my_trans
  1023 
  1024 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1025 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1026 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1027 
  1028 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1029 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1030 
  1031 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1032 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1033 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1034 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1035 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1036 
  1037 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1038 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1039 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1040 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1041 indices of schematic variables.
  1042 
  1043 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1044 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1045 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1046 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1047 etc. was exploited.
  1048 
  1049 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1050 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1051 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1052 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1053 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1054 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1055 
  1056 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1057 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1058 manual.
  1059 
  1060 
  1061 *** Pure ***
  1062 
  1063 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1064 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1065 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1066 
  1067 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1068 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1069 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1070 undocumented feature.)
  1071 
  1072 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1073 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1074 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1075 
  1076   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1077 
  1078   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1079     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1080 
  1081 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1082 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1083 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1084 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1085 
  1086 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1087 
  1088     num ~> num_token
  1089     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1090     xstr ~> str_token
  1091 
  1092 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1093 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1094 position information via constraints).
  1095 
  1096 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1097 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1098 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1099 
  1100 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1101 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1102 
  1103 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1104 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1105 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1106 
  1107 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1108 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1109 
  1110 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1111 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1112 
  1113   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1114 
  1115 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1116 
  1117 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1118 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1119 
  1120 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1121 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1122 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1123 
  1124 
  1125 *** HOL ***
  1126 
  1127 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1128 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1129 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1130 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1131 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1132 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1133 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1134 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1135 possible.
  1136 
  1137 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1138 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1139 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1140 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1141 
  1142 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1143 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1144 
  1145 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1146 
  1147 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1148 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1149 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1150 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1151 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1152 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1153 
  1154   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1155     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1156 
  1157   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1158     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1159     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1160 
  1161   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1162     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1163 
  1164   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1165     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1166     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1167 
  1168   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1169     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1170 
  1171 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1172 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1173 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1174 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1175 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1176 
  1177   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1178     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1179     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1180     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1181     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1182 
  1183     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1184     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1185 
  1186   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1187     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1188     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1189     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1190     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1191     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1192     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1193     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1194 
  1195   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1196     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1197     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1198     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1199 
  1200   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1201     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1202     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1203     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1204 
  1205   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1206     from type nat to type int.
  1207 
  1208 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1209 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1210 
  1211   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1212     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1213     type.  Example syntax:
  1214 
  1215     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1216       is List.insert
  1217 
  1218     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1219     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1220     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1221     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1222     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1223     by the package.
  1224 
  1225   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1226     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1227     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1228     code generation for each constant.
  1229 
  1230   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1231     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1232     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1233     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1234     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1235 
  1236   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1237     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1238     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1239 
  1240 * Quotient package:
  1241 
  1242   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1243     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1244 
  1245   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1246     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1247 
  1248   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1249     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1250     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1251 
  1252   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1253     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1254 
  1255 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1256 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1257 
  1258 * Quickcheck:
  1259 
  1260   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1261     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1262     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1263     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1264     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1265 
  1266     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1267     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1268     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1269 
  1270     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1271     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1272 
  1273     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1274     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1275     show genuine counterexamples.
  1276 
  1277   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1278     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1279 
  1280     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1281     constructors of that type.
  1282 
  1283   - Support for multisets.
  1284 
  1285   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1286 
  1287   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1288     conjectures in a locale context.
  1289 
  1290 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1291 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1292 
  1293 * Sledgehammer:
  1294   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1295     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1296   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1297   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1298     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1299   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1300   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1301   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1302   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1303 
  1304 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1305 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1306 
  1307 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1308 
  1309 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1310 
  1311 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1312 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1313 
  1314   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1315 
  1316 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1317 a list and a nat.
  1318 
  1319 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1320 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1321 
  1322 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1323 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1324 default.
  1325 
  1326 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1327 
  1328   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1329 
  1330 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1331 
  1332 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1333 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1334 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1335 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1336 one_case.
  1337 
  1338 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1339 the result of the fact expression.
  1340 
  1341 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1342 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1343 of some relation theorems:
  1344 
  1345   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1346   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1347   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)

  1737 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1738 association lists with distinct keys.
  1739 
  1740 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1741 annotated commands.
  1742 
  1743 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1744 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1745 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1746 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1747 
  1748 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1749 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1750 instead.

  1794 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1795 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1796 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1797 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1798 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1799 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1800 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1801 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1802 
  1803 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1804 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1805 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1806 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1807 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1808 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1809 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1810 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1811 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1812 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1813 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1814 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1836 
  1837   Removed constants:

  1839   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1840   image_space
  1841   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1976 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1977 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1978 
  1979 
  1980 *** FOL ***
  1981 
  1982 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1983 
  1984 
  1985 *** ZF ***
  1986 
  1987 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1988 analysis.
  1989 
  1990 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1991 
  1992 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1993 
  1994 
  1995 *** ML ***
  1996 
  1997 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1998 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1999 
  2000 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2001 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2002 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2003 
  2004 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2005 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2006 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2007 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2008 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2009 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2010 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2011 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2012 
  2013 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2014 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2015 
  2016 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2017 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2018 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2019 
  2020 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2021 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2022 
  2023 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2024 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2025 context as well.
  2026 
  2027 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2028 
  2029   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2030   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong

  2041 
  2042 
  2043 *** System ***
  2044 
  2045 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2046 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2047 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2048 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2049 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2050 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2051 the generic user home was intended.
  2052 
  2053 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2054 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2055 
  2056 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2057 (not just JRE).

  2061 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2062 ------------------------------------
  2063 
  2064 *** General ***
  2065 
  2066 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2067 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2068 
  2069   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2070     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2071     files for checking).
  2072 
  2073   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2074     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2075     positions.
  2076 
  2077   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2078     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2079     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2080 
  2081   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2082     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2083     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2084 
  2085   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2086     cores.
  2087 
  2088   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2089     versions (garbage collection).
  2090 
  2091 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2092 including some remaining limitations.
  2093 
  2094 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2095 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2096 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2097 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2098 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2099 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2100 
  2101 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2102 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2103 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2104 
  2105 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2106 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2107 usedir option -Q.
  2108 
  2109 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2110 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2111 
  2112   long_names   ~> names_long
  2113   short_names  ~> names_short
  2114   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2115 
  2116 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2117 
  2118   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2119 
  2120 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2121 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2122 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2123 
  2124 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2125 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2126 
  2127 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2128   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2129   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2130   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2131     "Classical Reasoner".
  2132 
  2133 
  2134 *** HOL ***
  2135 
  2136 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2137 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2138 
  2139 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2140 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2141 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2142 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2143 class complete_linorder.
  2144 
  2145 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2146 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2147 
  2148 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2149 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2150 
  2151   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2152   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2153   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2154   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2155   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2156   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2157   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2158   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2159   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2160   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2161   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2162 
  2163 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2164 
  2165   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2166   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2167   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2168   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2169   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2170   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2171   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2172   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2173   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2174   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2175   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2176   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2177   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2178   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2179   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2180   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2181 
  2182 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2183 
  2184 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2185 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2186 
  2187 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2188 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2189 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2190 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2191 
  2192 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2193 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2194 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2195 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2196 
  2197 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2198 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2199 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2200 
  2201 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2202 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2203 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2204 
  2205 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2206 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2207 
  2208 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2209 
  2210     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2211     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2212 
  2213 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2214 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2215 
  2216 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2217 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2218 
  2219 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2220 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2221 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2222 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2317 
  2318 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2319 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2320 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2321 
  2322 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2323 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2324 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2325 
  2326 * Code generation:
  2327 
  2328   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2329     characters in the target language.
  2330 
  2331   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2332     instead.
  2333 
  2334   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2335 
  2336   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2337     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2338 
  2339       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2340 
  2341 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2342 
  2343 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2344 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2345 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2346 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2347 syntax.
  2348 
  2349 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2350 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2351 
  2352 * Nitpick:
  2353   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2354   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2355   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2356     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2357 
  2358 * Sledgehammer:
  2359   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2360   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2361     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2362   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2363     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2364   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2365     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2366   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2367     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2368   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2369     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2370 
  2371 * Metis:
  2372   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2373   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2374     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2375 
  2376 * Command 'try':
  2377   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2378     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2379   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2380     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2381 
  2382 * Quickcheck:
  2383   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2384     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2385   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2386     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2387   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2388     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2389     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2390     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2391   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2392     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2393 
  2394 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2395 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2396 
  2397 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2398 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2399 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2400 
  2401 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2402 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2403 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2404 
  2405 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2406 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2407 
  2408 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2409 arithmetic.
  2410 
  2411 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2412 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2413 and lattice type classes.
  2414 
  2415 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2416 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2417 
  2418 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2419 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2420 
  2421 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2422 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2423 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2424 
  2425   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2426   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2427   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2428   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2429 
  2430 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2431 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2432 constants:
  2433 
  2434   type inat   ~> type enat
  2435   Fin         ~> enat
  2436   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2437   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2438   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2439 
  2440 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2441 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2442 
  2443 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2444 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2445 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2446 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2447 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2448 
  2449 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2450 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2451 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2452 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2453 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2454 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2455 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2456 
  2457   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2458   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2459   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2460   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2461 
  2462 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2463 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2464 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2518 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2519   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2520   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2521   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2522   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2523     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2554 *** Document preparation ***
  2555 
  2556 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2557 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2558 same.
  2559 
  2560 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2561 result.
  2562 
  2563 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2564 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2565 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2566 
  2567 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2568 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2569 
  2570 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2571 like this:
  2572 
  2573   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2574   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2575 
  2576 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2577 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2578 layouts.
  2579 
  2580 
  2581 *** ML ***
  2582 
  2583 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2584 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2585 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2586 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2587 under external program control.
  2588 
  2589 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2590 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2591 
  2592 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2593 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2594 (better known as Proof General).
  2595 
  2596 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2597 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2598 
  2599 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2600 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2601 
  2602 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2603 (including quotes etc.).
  2604 
  2605 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2606 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2607 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2608 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2609 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2610 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2611 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2612 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2613 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2614 
  2615 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2616 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2617 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2618 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2619 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2620 
  2621 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2622 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2623 
  2624 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2625 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2626 
  2627 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2628 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2629 
  2630 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2631 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2632 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2633 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2634 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2635 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2636 proper Proof.context.
  2637 
  2638 
  2639 *** System ***
  2640 
  2641 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2642 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2643 
  2644 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2645 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2646 
  2647 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2648 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2649 
  2650   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2651   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2652   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2653   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2654   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2655 
  2656 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2657 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2658 
  2659 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2660 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2661 example:
  2662 
  2663   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2664 
  2665 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2666 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2667 
  2668 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2669 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2670 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2671 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2672 
  2673 
  2674 
  2675 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2676 ----------------------------------
  2677 
  2678 *** General ***
  2679 
  2680 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2681 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2682 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2683 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2684 like this:
  2685 
  2686   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2687 
  2688 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2689 
  2690 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2691 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2692 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2693 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2694 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2695 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2696 
  2697 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2698 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2699 the following package declarations:
  2700 
  2701   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2702   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2703 
  2704 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2705 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2706 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2707 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2708 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2709 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2710 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2711 
  2712 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2713 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2714 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2715 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2716 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2717 
  2718 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2719 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2720 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2721 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2722 
  2723 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2724 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2725 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2726 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2727 
  2728   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2751   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2752 
  2753 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2754 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2755 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2756 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2757 
  2758 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2759 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2760 
  2761   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2762   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2763 
  2764 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2765 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2766 float_token.
  2767 
  2768 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2769 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2770 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2771 
  2772 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2773 DejaVu Sans.
  2774 
  2775 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2776 
  2777 
  2778 *** Pure ***
  2779 
  2780 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2781 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2782 time.
  2783 
  2784 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2785 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2786 
  2787 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2788 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2789 
  2790 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2791 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2792 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2793 command already provided this functionality.
  2794 
  2795 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2796 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2797 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2798 without interpretations.
  2799 
  2800 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2801 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2802 
  2803 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2804 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2805 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2806 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2807 
  2808 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2809 'definition' instead.
  2810 
  2811 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2812 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2813 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2814 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2815 
  2816 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2817 constructors.
  2818 
  2819 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2820 the local file system.
  2821 
  2822 
  2823 *** HOL ***
  2824 
  2825 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2826 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2827 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2828 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2829 
  2830   declare [[coercion f]]
  2831 
  2832 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2833 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2834 
  2835   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2836 
  2837 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2838 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2839 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2840 other theories like this:
  2841 
  2842   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2843 
  2844 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2845 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2846 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2847 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2848 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2849 for examples.
  2850 
  2851 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2852 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2853 
  2854 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2855 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2856 
  2857 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2858 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2859 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2860 
  2861 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2862 functorial structure of types.
  2863 
  2864 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2865 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2866 
  2867 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2868 languages.
  2869 
  2870 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2871 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2872 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2873 
  2874 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2875 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2876 
  2877 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2878 combinators any longer.
  2879 
  2880 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2881 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2882 
  2883 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2884 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2885 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2886 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2887 
  2888   record 'a foo = ...
  2889   ...
  2890   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2891 
  2892 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2893 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2894 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2895 
  2896 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2897 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2898 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2899 
  2900 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2901 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2902 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2903 
  2904 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2905 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2906 
  2907 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2908 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2909 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2910 independently.
  2911 
  2912 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2913 counter example search.
  2914 
  2915 * Sledgehammer:
  2916   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2917     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2918     sledgehammer").
  2919   - Renamed commands:
  2920     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2921     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2922     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2923     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2924   - Renamed options:
  2925     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2926     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2927     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2928     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2929     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2930 
  2931 * Nitpick:
  2932   - Renamed options:
  2933     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2934     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2935     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2936   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2937   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2938   - Added "whack" option.
  2939   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2940   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2941   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2942   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2943     higher cardinalities.
  2944   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2945 
  2946 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2947 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2948 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2949 
  2950     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2951 
  2952 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2953 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2954 
  2955 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2956 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2957 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2958 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2959 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2960 "smt_solver".
  2961 
  2962 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2963 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2964 
  2965 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2966 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2967 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2968 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2969 
  2970 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2971   - Renamed:
  2972     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2973     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2974     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2975   - Added:
  2976     smt_verbose
  2977     smt_random_seed
  2978     smt_datatypes
  2979     smt_infer_triggers
  2980     smt_monomorph_limit
  2981     cvc3_options
  2982     remote_cvc3_options
  2983     remote_z3_options
  2984     yices_options
  2985 
  2986 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2987 header.
  2988 
  2989 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2990 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2991 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2992 
  2993   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2994 
  2995 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2996 
  2997 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2998 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2999 
  3000 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3001 
  3002 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3003 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3004 
  3005 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3006 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3007 
  3008 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3009 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3010 
  3011 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3012 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3013 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3014 
  3015 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3016 
  3017 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3018 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3019 
  3020 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3021 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3022 
  3023 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3024 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3025 for congruent(2)).
  3026 
  3027 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3028 
  3029   types
  3030     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3031     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3032 
  3033   constants

  3054     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3055     op : ~> Set.member
  3056     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3057 
  3058 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3059 
  3060 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3061 
  3062     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3063     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3064     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3065     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3066     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3067     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3068     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3069     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3070 
  3071 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3072 
  3073 * More stylized fact names:
  3074 
  3075   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3076   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3077   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3078   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3079 
  3080 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3081 
  3082 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3083 
  3084   constants
  3085     null ~> List.null
  3086 
  3087   facts
  3088     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3089     null_empty ~> null_def
  3090 
  3091 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3092 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3093 generation.
  3094 
  3095 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3096 Haskell code.
  3097 
  3098 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3099 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3100 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3101 
  3102 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3103 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3104 
  3105 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3106 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3107 
  3108 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3109 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3110 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3111 
  3112 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3113 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3114 
  3115 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3116 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3117 
  3118 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3119 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3120 referred to by its qualified name.
  3121 
  3122   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3123   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3124   product ~>  Enum.product
  3125 
  3126 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3127 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3128 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3129 
  3130 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3131 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3132 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3133 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3134 
  3135 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3136 sort_key.
  3137 
  3138 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3139 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3140 
  3141 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3142 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3143 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3144 
  3145   types
  3146     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3147               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3148               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3149         (depends on your needs)
  3150 
  3151   constants
  3152      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3153      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3154      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3155 
  3156 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3157 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3158 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3159 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3160 
  3161 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3162 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3163 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3164 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3165 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3166 
  3167 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3168 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3169 
  3170 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3171 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3172 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3173 
  3174 
  3175 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3176 
  3177 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3178 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3179 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3180 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3181 compatibility.
  3182 
  3183 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3184 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3185 
  3186 
  3187 *** HOLCF ***
  3188 
  3189 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3190 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3191 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3192 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3193 
  3194 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3195 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3196 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3197 
  3198   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3199   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3200   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3201 
  3202 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3203 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3204 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3205 
  3206 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3207 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3208 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3209 domain definition now works:
  3210 
  3211   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3212 
  3213 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3214 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3215 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3216 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3217 
  3218   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3219     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3220 
  3221   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3222 
  3223 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3224 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3225 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3226 
  3227 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3228 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3229 
  3230 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3231 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3232 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3233 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3234 
  3235 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3236 
  3237 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3238 
  3239 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3240 
  3241 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3242 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3243 
  3244 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3245 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3246 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3247 
  3248 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3249 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3250 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3251 
  3252 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3253 still supported as an input translation.
  3254 
  3255 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3256 
  3257   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3258   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3259   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3260   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3261   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3262   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3263   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3264 
  3265 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3266 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3267 
  3268   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3269   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3270   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3271   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3272   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3273   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3274 
  3275 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3276 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3277 
  3278 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3279 
  3280   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3281   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3282   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3283   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3284 
  3285 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3286 
  3287 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3288 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3289 
  3290 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3291 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3362 
  3363 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3364 
  3365 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3366 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3367 
  3368 
  3369 *** ML ***
  3370 
  3371 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3372 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3373 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3374 
  3375 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3376 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3377 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3378 
  3379 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3380 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3381 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3382 
  3383 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3384 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3385 
  3386 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3387 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3388 
  3389 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3390 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3391 
  3392 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3393 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3394 
  3395 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3396 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3397 almost all situations.
  3398 
  3399 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3400 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3401 Isabelle/ML.
  3402 
  3403 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3404 meaning.
  3405 
  3406 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3407 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3408 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3409 
  3410 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3411 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3412 
  3413 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3414 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3415 
  3416 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3417 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3418 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3419 
  3420 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3421 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3422 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3423 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3424 configuration options.
  3425 
  3426 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3427 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3428 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3429 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3430 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3431 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3432 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3435 
  3436 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3437 ---------------------------------
  3438 
  3439 *** General ***
  3440 
  3441 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3442 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3443 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3444 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3445 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3446 their full internal name.
  3447 
  3448 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3449 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3450 Some hints on upgrading:
  3451 
  3452   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3453     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3454     which are independent of this issue.
  3455 
  3456   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3457     provides the following special forms:
  3458 
  3459       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3460       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3461       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3462 
  3463     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3464     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3465     extra variables".
  3466 
  3467     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3468     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3469     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3470     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3471     "logic".
  3472 
  3473   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3474     antiquotations:
  3475 
  3476       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3477       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3478       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3479       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3480 
  3481   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3482     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3483     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3484     antiquotations.
  3485 
  3486 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3487 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3488 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3489 diagnose syntax problems.
  3490 
  3491 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3492 
  3493 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3494 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3495 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3496 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3497 
  3498 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3499 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3500 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3501 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3502 
  3503 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3504 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3505 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3506 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3507 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3508 
  3509 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3510 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3511 
  3512 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3513 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3514 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3515 
  3516   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3517 
  3518 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3519 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3520 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3521 
  3522 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3523 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3524 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3525 
  3526 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3527 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3528 
  3529 
  3530 *** Pure ***
  3531 
  3532 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3533 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3534 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3535 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3536 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3537 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3538 inspect proof terms.
  3539 
  3540 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3541 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3542 are added internally.  For example:
  3543 
  3544   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3545 
  3546 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3547 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3548 
  3549 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3550 
  3551 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3552 'class' instead.
  3553 
  3554 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3555 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3556 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3557 
  3558 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3559 invariants.
  3560 
  3561 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3562 user space functionality any longer.
  3563 
  3564 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3565 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3566 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3567 
  3568 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3569 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3570 
  3571 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3572 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3573 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3574 
  3575 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3576 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3577 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3578 
  3579 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3580 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3581 
  3582 
  3583 *** HOL ***
  3584 
  3585 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3586 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3587 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3588 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3589 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3590 
  3591 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3592 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3593 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3594 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3595 
  3596   fun
  3597     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3598   where
  3599     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3600 
  3601   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3602     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3603 
  3604   quotient_definition
  3605     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3606 
  3607 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3608 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3609 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3610 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3611 
  3612 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3613 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3614 
  3615 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3616 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3617 
  3618 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3619 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3620 
  3621 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3622 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3623 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3624 
  3625 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3626 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3627 
  3628 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3629 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3630 
  3631 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3632 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3633 
  3634 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3635 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3636 
  3637 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3638 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3639 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3672 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3673 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3674 
  3675 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3676 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3677 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3678 
  3679 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3680 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3681 
  3682 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3683 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3684 
  3685 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3686 
  3687 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3688 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3689 
  3690 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3691 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3692 
  3693 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3694 
  3695 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3696 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3697 
  3698 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3699 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3700 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3701 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3702 
  3703 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3704   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3705   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3706   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3707 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3708 
  3709 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3710 lattices):

  3759 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3760 
  3761 * Refined field classes:
  3762   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3763     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3764     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3765   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3766 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3767 
  3768 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3769   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3770   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3771   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3772     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3773   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3774     equal_neg_zero.
  3775 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3776 
  3777 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3778 sets to lattices:
  3779 
  3780   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3781   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3782   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3783   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3784   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf

  3787   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3788   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3789   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3790 
  3791 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3792 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3793 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3794 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3795 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3796 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3797 
  3798 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3799 multiset order:
  3800 
  3801   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3802     <= and <;
  3803   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3804     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3805     multiset_order;
  3806   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3807     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3808     generation;
  3809   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3810     if needed.
  3811 
  3812 Renamed:
  3813 
  3814   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3815   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3816   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3817 
  3818 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3819 
  3820 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3821 
  3822 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3823 
  3824 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3825 
  3826 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3827 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3828 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3858   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3859 
  3860 * Sledgehammer:
  3861   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3862     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3863     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3864     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3865     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3866     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3867     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3868   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3869   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3870     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3871   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3872     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3873     is still experimental.)
  3874   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3875     full-typed mode.
  3876   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3877 
  3878 * Nitpick:
  3879   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3880   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3881   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3882     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3883   - Added support for quotient types.
  3884   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3885     constructs.
  3886   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3887     "termination" proofs).
  3888   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3889   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3890   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3891   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3892     record getters.
  3893   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3894   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3895   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3896   - Added "atoms" option.
  3897   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3898     problems.
  3899   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3900     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3901     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3902   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3903     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3904   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3905 
  3906 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3907   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3908   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3909   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3910   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3911   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3912   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3913   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3914   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3915   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3916 
  3917 
  3918 *** HOLCF ***
  3919 
  3920 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3921 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3922 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3923 
  3924 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3925 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3926 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3927 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3928 
  3929 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3930 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3931 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3932 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3933 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3934 
  3935 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3936 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3937 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3938 
  3939 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3940 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3941 
  3942   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3943   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3944 
  3945 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3946 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3947 
  3948   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3949   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3950   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3951   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3952   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3953 
  3954 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3955 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3956 
  3957   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3958   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3959   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3960 
  3961 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3962 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3963 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3964 
  3965 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3966 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3967 
  3968 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3969 
  3970 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3971 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3972 
  3973 
  3974 *** ML ***
  3975 
  3976 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3977 
  3978     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3979     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3980 
  3981     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3982     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3983     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3984     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3985 
  3986     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3987     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3988     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3989 
  3990 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3991 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3992 
  3993 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3994 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3995 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3996 
  3997 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3998 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3999 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4000 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4001 
  4002 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4003 the context or even global references.
  4004 
  4005 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4006 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4007 
  4008 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4009 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4010 
  4011   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4012   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4013   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4014   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4015   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4016   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4017   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4018   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4019   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4020   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4021 
  4022 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4023 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4024 
  4025 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4026 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4027 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4028 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4029 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4030 
  4031 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4032 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4033 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4034 Theory_Data version.
  4035 
  4036 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4037 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4038 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4039 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4040 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4041 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4042 explicitly in rare situations.
  4043 
  4044 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4045 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4046 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4047 
  4048 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4049 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4050 
  4051 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4052 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4053 quite rare).
  4054 
  4055 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4056 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4057 
  4058 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4059 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4060 terms.
  4061 
  4062 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4063 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4064 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4065 
  4066 
  4067 *** System ***
  4068 
  4069 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4070 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4071 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4072 
  4073 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4074 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4075 respectively.
  4076 
  4077 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4078 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4079 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4080 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4081 
  4082   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4083 
  4084 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4085 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4086 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4087 component.
  4088 
  4089 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4090 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4091 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4092 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4093 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4094 the user for manual installation.
  4095 
  4096 
  4097 
  4098 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4099 -------------------------------------
  4100 
  4101 *** General ***
  4102 
  4103 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4104 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4105 
  4106 
  4107 *** Pure ***
  4108 
  4109 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4110 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4111 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4112 
  4113 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4114 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4115 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4116 
  4117 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4118 interpretation.
  4119 
  4120 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4121 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4122 
  4123 
  4124 *** Document preparation ***
  4125 
  4126 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4127 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4128 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4129 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4130 
  4131 
  4132 *** HOL ***
  4133 
  4134 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4135 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4136 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4137 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4138 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4139 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4140 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4141 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4142 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4143 
  4144 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4145 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4146 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4147 
  4148 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4149 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4150 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4151 
  4152 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4153 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4154 
  4155 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4156 
  4157 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4158 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4159 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4160 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4161 
  4162 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4163 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4164 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4165 "mirabelle" utility.
  4166 
  4167 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4168 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4169 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4170 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4171 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4172 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4173 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4174 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4175 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4176 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4177 
  4178 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4179 procedure only.
  4180 
  4181 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4182 
  4183 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4184 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4185 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4186 that fail later.
  4187 
  4188 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4189 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4190 
  4191 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4192 the same method as the approximation method.
  4193 
  4194 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4195 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4196 series expansion.
  4197 
  4198 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4199 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4200 
  4201 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4202 reals.
  4203 
  4204 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4205 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4206 
  4207 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4208 fixpoint theorem.
  4209 
  4210 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4211   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4212     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4213   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4214     accordingly
  4215   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4216     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4217   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4218     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4219 
  4220 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4221 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4222 lattice.
  4223 
  4224 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4225 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4226 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4227 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4228 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4229 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4230 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4231 
  4232 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4233   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4234     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4235   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4236     le_inf_iff
  4237   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4238     sup_aci)
  4239   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4240   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4241   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4242     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4243     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4244     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4245     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4246     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4247     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4248     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4249     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4250     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4251     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4252   - authentic syntax for
  4253     Set.Pow
  4254     Set.image
  4255   - mere abbreviations:
  4256     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4257     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4258     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4259     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4260     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4261     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4262     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4263     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4264   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4265 
  4266 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4267 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4268 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4269 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4270 
  4271 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4272 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4273 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4274 
  4275 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4276 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4277 
  4278 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4279 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4280 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4281 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4282 
  4283 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4284 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4285 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4286 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4287 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4288 
  4289 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4290 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4291 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4292 
  4293 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4294 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4295 
  4296 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4297 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4298 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4299 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4300 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4301 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4302 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4303 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4304 
  4305 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4306     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4307     code_post       replaces    code post
  4308     etc.
  4309   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4310 
  4311 * Renamed methods:
  4312     sizechange -> size_change
  4313     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4314   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4315 
  4316 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4317 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4318 
  4319 * Renamed theorems:
  4320     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4321     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4322     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4323     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4324     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4325   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4326 
  4327 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4328 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4329 
  4330 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4331 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4332 
  4333 
  4334 *** HOLCF ***
  4335 
  4336 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4337 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4338 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4339 
  4340 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4341 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4342 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4343 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4344 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4345 
  4346 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4347 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4348 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4349 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4350 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4351 
  4352 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4353 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4354 constructor are pre-configured.
  4355 
  4356 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4357 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4358 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4359 
  4360 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4361 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4362 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4363 as well.)
  4364 
  4365 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4366 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4367 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4368 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4369 examples.
  4370 
  4371 
  4372 *** ML ***
  4373 
  4374 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4375 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4376 
  4377 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4378 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4379 position, logical grouping etc.
  4380 
  4381 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4382 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4383 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4384 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4385 
  4386 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4387 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4388 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4389 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4390 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4391 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4392 
  4393 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4394 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4395 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4396 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4397 experiments with references.
  4398 
  4399 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4400 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4401 
  4402 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4403 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4404 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4405 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4406 
  4407 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4408 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4409 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4410 
  4411 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4412 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4413 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4414 
  4415 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4416 
  4417 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4418 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4419 
  4420 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4421 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4422 
  4423 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4424 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4425 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4426 
  4427 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4428 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4429 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4430 
  4431 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4432 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4433 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4434 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4435 
  4436 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4437 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4438 instead of global theory.
  4439 
  4440 
  4441 *** System ***
  4442 
  4443 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4444 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4445 usedir option -q.
  4446 
  4447 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4448 also the system manual.
  4449 
  4450 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4451 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4452 
  4453 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4454 this is always enabled.
  4455 
  4456 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4457 
  4458 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4459 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4460 currently supported on Linux only.
  4461 
  4462 
  4463 
  4464 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4465 --------------------------------
  4466 
  4467 *** General ***
  4468 
  4469 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4470 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4471 
  4472   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4473     "isatool."
  4474 
  4475   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4476     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4477 
  4478   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4479     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4480 
  4481 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4482 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4483 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4484 
  4485 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4486 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4487 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4488 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4489 via "isabelle emacs".
  4490 
  4491 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4492 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4493 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4494 
  4495 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4496 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4497 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4498 
  4499 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4500 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4501 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4502 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4503 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4504 
  4505 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4506 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4507 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4508 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4509 
  4510 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4511 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4512 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4513 
  4514 
  4515 *** Pure ***
  4516 
  4517 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4518 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4519 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4520 
  4521 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4522 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4523 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4524 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4525 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4526 
  4527 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4528 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4529 useful in locale declarations.
  4530 
  4531 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4532 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4533 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4534 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4535 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4536 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4537 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4538 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4539 no longer generated.
  4540 
  4541 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4542 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4543 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4544 
  4545 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4546 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4547 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4548 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4549 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4550 
  4551 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4552 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4553 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4554 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4555 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4556 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4557 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4558 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4559 
  4560 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4561 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4562 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4563 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4564 
  4565 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4566 
  4567 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4568 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4569 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4570 
  4571 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4572 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4573 
  4574 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4575 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4576 in HOL, write
  4577 
  4578     class foo = ...
  4579 
  4580 instead of
  4581 
  4582     class foo = type + ...
  4583 
  4584 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4585 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4586 
  4587 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4588 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4589 
  4590 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4591 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4592 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4593 
  4594 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4595 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4596 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4597 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4598 directly in regular applications.
  4599 
  4600 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4601 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4602 
  4603 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4604 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4605 
  4606 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4607 theory context.
  4608 
  4609 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4610 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4611 
  4612 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4613 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4614 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4615 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4616 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4617 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4618 
  4619   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4620 
  4621 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4622 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4623 normalization.
  4624 
  4625 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4626 addressing etc.
  4627 
  4628 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4629 
  4630   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4631   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4632 
  4633 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4634 
  4635   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4636      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4637      parts of the code generator framework).
  4638 
  4639   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4640      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4641      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4642 
  4643 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4644 
  4645 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4646 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4647 
  4648 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4649 patterns, e.g.
  4650 
  4651     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4652 
  4653 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4654 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4655 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4656 hyphen:
  4657 
  4658     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4659 
  4660 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4661 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4662 
  4663 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4664 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4665 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4666 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4667 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4668 higher-order unification.
  4669 
  4670 
  4671 *** Document preparation ***
  4672 
  4673 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4674 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4675 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4676 
  4677 
  4678 *** HOL ***
  4679 
  4680 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4681 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4682 
  4683 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4684 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4685 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4686 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4687 Main, as before.
  4688 
  4689 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4690 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4691 
  4692 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4693 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4694 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4695 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4696 
  4697 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4698 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4699 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4700 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4701 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4702 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4703 
  4704 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4705 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4706 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4707 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4708 
  4709 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4710 menu.
  4711 
  4712 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4713 (contains the empty clause).
  4714 
  4715 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4716 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4717 
  4718 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4719 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4720 
  4721 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4722 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4723 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4724 
  4725 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4726 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4727 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4728 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4729 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4730 
  4731 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4732 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4733 
  4734 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4735 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4736 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4737 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4738 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4739 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4740 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4741 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4742 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4743 
  4744 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4745 
  4746 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4747 
  4748 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4749 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4750 
  4751 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4752 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4753 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4754 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4755 
  4756 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4757 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4758 
  4759     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4760     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4761     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4762     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4763     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4764     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4765     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4766     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4767 
  4768 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4769 theory Set.
  4770 
  4771 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4772 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4773 
  4774 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4775 
  4776 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4777 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4778 
  4779 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4780 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4781 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4782 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4783 allowed. For examples see
  4784 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4785 
  4786 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4787 
  4788 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4789 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4790 
  4791 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4792 structure:

  4845 
  4846 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4847 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4848 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4849 
  4850 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4851 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4852 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4853 
  4854 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4855 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4856 
  4857 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4858 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4859 
  4860 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4861 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4862 proofs, e.g.
  4863 
  4864   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4865 
  4866 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4867 
  4868 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4869 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4870 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4871 
  4872 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4873 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4874 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4875 
  4876 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4877 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4878 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4879 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4880 
  4881 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4882 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4883 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4884 preorder_class.*.
  4885 
  4886 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4887 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4888 
  4889 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4890 
  4891   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4892 
  4893 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4894 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4895 fold_image.
  4896 
  4897 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4898 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4899 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4900 the former will disappear at some point.
  4901 
  4902 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4903 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4904 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4905 
  4906 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4907 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4908 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4909 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4910 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4911 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4912 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4913 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4914 
  4915 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4916 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4917 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4918 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4919 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4920 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4921 
  4922     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4923     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4924     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4925     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4926     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4927     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4928     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4929 
  4930 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4931 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4932 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4933 
  4934 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4935 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4936 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4937 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq

  4939 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4940 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4941 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4942 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4943 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4944 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4945 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4946 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4947 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4948 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4949 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4950 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4951 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4952 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4953 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4954 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4955 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4956 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4957 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq

  4962 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4963 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4964 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4965 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff

  4973 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4974 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4975 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4976 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4977 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4978 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4979 
  4980 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4981 
  4982 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4983 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4984 
  4985 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4986 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4987 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4988 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4989 
  4990 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4991 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4992 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4993 theory RealVector.
  4994 
  4995 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4996 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4997 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4998 and inner products are included.
  4999 
  5000 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5001 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5002 supported.
  5003 
  5004 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5005 first diagonalization argument.
  5006 
  5007 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5008 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5009 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5010 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5011 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5012 
  5013     hide (open) const gcd
  5014     abbreviation gcd where
  5015       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5016     notation (output)
  5017       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5018 
  5019 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5020 
  5021 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5022 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5023 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5024 
  5025 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5026 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5027 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5028 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5029 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5030 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5031 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5032 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5033 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5034 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5035 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5036 cases.
  5037 
  5038 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5039 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5040 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5041 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5042 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5043 
  5044     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5045     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5046     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5047     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5048     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5049 
  5050 
  5051 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5052 
  5053 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5054 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5055 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5056 
  5057 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5058 
  5059 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5060 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5061 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5062 
  5063 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5064 
  5065 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5066 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5067 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5068 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5069 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5070 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5071 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5072 
  5073 
  5074 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5075 
  5076 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5077 
  5078 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5079 theory targets.
  5080 
  5081 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5082 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5083 'inductive' etc.
  5084 
  5085 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5086 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5087 
  5088 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5089 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5090 
  5091 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5092 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5093 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5094 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5095 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5096 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5097 the algorithm W:
  5098 
  5099  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5100  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5101          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5102 
  5103 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5104 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5105 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5106 
  5107 
  5108 *** HOLCF ***
  5109 
  5110 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5111 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5112 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5113 
  5114 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5115 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5116 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5117 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5118 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5119 
  5120 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5121 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5122 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5123 
  5124 
  5125 *** ZF ***
  5126 
  5127 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5128 
  5129 
  5130 *** ML ***
  5131 
  5132 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5133 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5134 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5135 5.2.1!
  5136 
  5137 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5138 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5139 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5140 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5141 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5142 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5143 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5144 
  5145 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5146 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5147 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5148 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5149 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5150 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5151 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5152 
  5153 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5154 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5155 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5156 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5157 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5158 
  5159 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5160 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5161 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5162 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5163 Method.add_method.
  5164 
  5165 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5166 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5167 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5168 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5169 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5170 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5171 
  5172 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5173 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5174 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5175 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5176 examples.
  5177 
  5178 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5179 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5180 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5181 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5182 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5183 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5184 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5185 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5186 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5187 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5188 
  5189 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5190 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5191 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5192 
  5193 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5194 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5195 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5196 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5197 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5198 resort for legacy applications.
  5199 
  5200 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5201 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5202 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5203 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5204 explicit runtime argument.
  5205 
  5206 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5207 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5208 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5209 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5210 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5211 
  5212 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5213 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5214 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5215 theory state.
  5216 
  5217 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5218 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5219 
  5220   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5221   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5222   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5223   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5224   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5225   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5226   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5227   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5228   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5229   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5230 
  5231 
  5232 *** System ***
  5233 
  5234 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5235 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5236 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5237 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5238 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5239 
  5240 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5241 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5242 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5243 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5244 
  5245 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5246 
  5247 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5248 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5249 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5250 prover operations.
  5251 
  5252 
  5253 
  5254 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5255 -------------------------------
  5256 
  5257 *** General ***
  5258 
  5259 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5260 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5261 
  5262 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5263 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5264 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5265 provides a proper context already.
  5266 
  5267 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5268 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5269 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5270 
  5271 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5272 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5273 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5274 swap theory imports.
  5275 
  5276 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5277 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5278 
  5279 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5280 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5281 white space without escapes.
  5282 
  5283 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5284 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5285 "foo_bar".
  5286 
  5287 
  5288 *** Pure ***
  5289 
  5290 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5291 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5292 
  5293 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5294 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5295 
  5296 (1) unused_thms
  5297      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5298 
  5299 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5300      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5301      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5302 
  5303 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5304      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5305      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5306      their ancestors.
  5307 
  5308 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5309 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5310 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5311 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5312 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5313 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5314 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5315 
  5316 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5317 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5318 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5319 
  5320 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5321 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5322 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5323 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5324 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5325 
  5326 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5327 
  5328 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5329 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5330 update of theories within ML code.
  5331 
  5332 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5333 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5334 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5335 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5336 
  5337 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5338 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5339 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5340 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5341 
  5342 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5343 
  5344 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5345 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5346 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5347 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5348 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5349 
  5350 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5351 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5352 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5353 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5354 situations.
  5355 
  5356 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5357 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5358 proof text.
  5359 
  5360 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5361 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5362 
  5363 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5364 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5365 predicates.
  5366 
  5367 
  5368 *** Document preparation ***
  5369 
  5370 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5371 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5372 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5373 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5374 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5375 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5376 
  5377 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5378 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5379 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5380 
  5381 
  5382 *** HOL ***
  5383 
  5384 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5385 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5386 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5387 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5388 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5389 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5390 
  5391 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5392 with multithreading.
  5393 
  5394 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5395 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5396 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5397 
  5398 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5399 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5400 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5401 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5402 
  5403 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5404 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5405 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5406 and makes them available separately.  See
  5407 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5408 
  5409 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5410 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5411 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5412 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5413 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5414 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5415 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5416 the declared rules.
  5417 
  5418 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5419 
  5420   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5421 
  5422 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5423 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5424 
  5425 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5426 
  5427   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5428 
  5429   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5430     definitions on => and bool.
  5431 
  5432   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5433     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5434     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5435 
  5436       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5437       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5438       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5439       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5440       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5441       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5442       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5443       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5444 
  5445   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5446     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5447     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5448 
  5449   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5450     The proof pattern
  5451 
  5452       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5453       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5454 
  5455     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5456     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5457 
  5458       have "EX S. P S"
  5459       proof
  5460         show "P S" <...>
  5461       qed
  5462 
  5463   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5464     The proof pattern
  5465 
  5466       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5467       also have "S = T" <...>
  5468       finally have "P T" .
  5469 
  5470     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5471     must be replaced by something like
  5472 
  5473       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5474       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5475       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5476 
  5477   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5478     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5479 
  5480       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5481 
  5482     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5483     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5484     type of the form
  5485 
  5486       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5487 
  5488     rather than
  5489 
  5490       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5491 
  5492 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5493 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5494 
  5495 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5496 
  5497 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5498 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5499 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5500 
  5501 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5502 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5503 
  5504 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5505 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5506 
  5507 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5508 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5509 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5510 
  5511 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5512 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5513 
  5514   less_trans
  5515   less_linear
  5516   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5517   le_less_trans
  5518   less_le_trans
  5519   less_not_sym
  5520   less_asym
  5521 
  5522 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5523 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5524 and different variable names.
  5525 
  5526 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5527 
  5528 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5529 finite maps.
  5530 
  5531 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5532 
  5533 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5534 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5535 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5536 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5537 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5538 accordingly.
  5539 
  5540 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5541 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5542 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5543 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5544 
  5545 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5546 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5547 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5548 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5549 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5550 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5551 
  5552 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5553 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5554 
  5555 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5556 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5557 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5558 
  5559 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5560 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5561 
  5562 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5563 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5564 
  5565 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5566 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5567 
  5568 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5569 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5570 
  5571 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5572 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5573 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5574 
  5575 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5576 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5577 
  5578 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5579 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5580 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5581 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5582 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5583 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5584 
  5585 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5586 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5587 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5588 
  5589 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5590 
  5591 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5592 
  5593 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5594 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5595 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5596 
  5597 
  5598 *** ZF ***
  5599 
  5600 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5601 same session:
  5602 
  5603   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5604   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5605   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5606   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5607   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5608   List      -> List_ZF
  5609   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5610 
  5611 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5612 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5613 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5614 
  5615 
  5616 *** ML ***
  5617 
  5618 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5619 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5620 
  5621 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5622 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5623 
  5624 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5625 
  5626 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5627 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5628 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5629 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5630 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5631 
  5632 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5633 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5634 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5635 
  5636 
  5637 *** System ***
  5638 
  5639 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5640 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5641 
  5642 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5643 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5644 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5645 
  5646 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5647 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5648 
  5649 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5650 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5651 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5652 
  5653 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5654 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5655 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5656 
  5657 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5658 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5659 
  5660 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5661 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5662 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5663 script.
  5664 
  5665 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5666 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5667 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5668 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5669 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5670 
  5671 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5672 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5673 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5674 
  5675 
  5676 
  5677 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5678 -----------------------------------
  5679 
  5680 *** General ***
  5681 
  5682 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5683 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5684 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5685 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5686 
  5687 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5688 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5689 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5690 
  5691 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5692 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5693 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5694 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5695 
  5696 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5697 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5698 quotes.
  5699 
  5700 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5701 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5702 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5703 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5704 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5705 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5706 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5707 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5708 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5709 
  5710 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5711 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5712 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5713 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5714 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5715 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5716 
  5717 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5718 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5719 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5720 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5721 
  5722 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5723 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5724 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5725 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5726 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5727 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5728 
  5729 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5730 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5731 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5732 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5733 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5734 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5735 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5736 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5737 
  5738 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5739 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5740 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5741 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5742 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5743 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5744 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5745 
  5746 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5747 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5748 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5749 
  5750 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5751 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5752 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5753 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5754 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5755 limit is imposed.
  5756 
  5757 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5758 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5759 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5760 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5761 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5762 and scalability.
  5763 
  5764 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5765 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5766 
  5767 
  5768 *** Document preparation ***
  5769 
  5770 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5771 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5772 current context.
  5773 
  5774 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5775 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5776 
  5777 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5778 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5779 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5780 
  5781 
  5782 *** Pure ***
  5783 
  5784 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5785 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5786 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5787 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5788 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5789 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5790 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5791 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5792 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5793 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5794 
  5795 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5796 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5797 sketch:
  5798 
  5799     internal compilation:
  5800         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5801     writing SML code to a file:
  5802         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5803     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5804         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5805     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5806         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5807 
  5808     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5809         method ``eval''
  5810 
  5811 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5812 
  5813 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5814 
  5815     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5816     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5817     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5818     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5819 
  5820 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5821 
  5822     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5823       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5824 
  5825     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5826       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5827 
  5828     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5829       {(target)}+
  5830         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5831 
  5832     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5833       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5834         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5835 
  5836 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5837 
  5838 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5839 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5840 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5841 codegen".
  5842 
  5843 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5844 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5845 annotations).
  5846 
  5847 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5848 syntax.
  5849 
  5850 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5851 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5852 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5853 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5854 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5855 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5856 
  5857 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5858 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5859 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5860 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5861 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5862 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5863 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5864 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5865 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5866 equations, see section "definitions".
  5867 
  5868 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5869 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5870 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5871 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5872 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5873 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5874 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5875 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5876 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5877 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5878 
  5879 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5880 configuration options:
  5881 
  5882   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5883   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5884   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5885   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5886   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5887   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5888   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5889   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5890   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5891 
  5892 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5893 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5894 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5895 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5896 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5897 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5898 order.
  5899 
  5900 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5901 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5902 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5903 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5904 context encountered later on.
  5905 
  5906 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5907 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5908 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5909 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5910 
  5911 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5912 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5913 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5914 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5915 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5916 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5917 
  5918 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5919 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5920 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5921 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5922 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5923 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5924 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5925 more permissive.
  5926 
  5927 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5928 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5929 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5930 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5931 maintainability of proof texts.
  5932 
  5933 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5934 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5935 
  5936   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5937   then guess x and y by clarify
  5938 
  5939 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5940 proof tools being involved here.
  5941 
  5942 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5943 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5944 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5945 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5946 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5947 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5948 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5949 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5950 
  5951 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5952 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5953 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5954 
  5955   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5956   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5957   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5958   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5959 
  5960 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5961 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5962 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5963 
  5964 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5965 both named and unnamed ones.
  5966 
  5967 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5968 
  5969   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5970 
  5971 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5972 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5973 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5974 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5975 
  5976 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5977 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5978 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5979 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5980 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5981 
  5982 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5983 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5984 
  5985 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5986 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5987 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5988 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5989 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5990 originally first one.
  5991 
  5992 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5993 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5994 expected.
  5995 
  5996 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5997 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5998 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5999 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6000 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6001 
  6002   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6003     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6004     obtains x where "P x"
  6005 
  6006   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6007     assumes "A & B"
  6008     obtains A and B
  6009 
  6010   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6011     assumes "A | B"
  6012     obtains
  6013       A
  6014     | B
  6015 
  6016 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6017 explicitly:
  6018 
  6019   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6020     obtains "~ thesis"
  6021 
  6022   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6023     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6024 
  6025 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6026 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6027 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6028 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6029 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6030 case_names).
  6031 
  6032 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6033 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6034 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6035 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6036 
  6037 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6038 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6039 top-level lemma.
  6040 
  6041 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6042 introduction rule (default "that").
  6043 
  6044 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6045 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6046 to occur.
  6047 
  6048 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6049 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6050 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6051 representations independently of name spaces.
  6052 
  6053 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6054 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6055 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6056 
  6057 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6058 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6059 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6060 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6061 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6062 current context.
  6063 
  6064 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6065 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6066 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6067 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6068 
  6069   axiomatization
  6070     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6071     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6072 
  6073   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6074   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6075 
  6076   abbreviation
  6077     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6078     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6079 
  6080 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6081 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6082 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6083 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6084 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6085 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6086 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6087 
  6088 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6089 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6090 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6091 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6092 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6093 
  6094 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6095 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6096 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6097 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6098 
  6099 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6100 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6101 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6102 
  6103   definition "K x _ = x"
  6104 
  6105   inductive conj for A B
  6106   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6107 
  6108 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6109 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6110 abbreviations on output.
  6111 
  6112 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6113 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6114 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6115 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6116 
  6117 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6118 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6119 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6120 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6121 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6122 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6123 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6124 
  6125 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6126 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6127 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6128 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6129 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6130 
  6131 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6132 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6133 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6134 
  6135 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6136 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6137 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6138 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6139 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6140 
  6141   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6142     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6143 
  6144 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6145 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6146 partial_order.
  6147 
  6148 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6149 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6150 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6151 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6152 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6153 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6154 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6155 examples.
  6156 
  6157 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6158 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6159 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6160 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6161 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6162 
  6163 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6164 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6165 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6166 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6167 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6168 
  6169   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6170   (induct set: foo bar)
  6171   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6172   (induct type: foo bar)
  6173 
  6174 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6175 new format.
  6176 
  6177 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6178 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6179 
  6180 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6181 considered a legacy feature.
  6182 
  6183 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6184 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6185 
  6186 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6187 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6188 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6189 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6190   
  6191 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6192 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6193 manipulating the claset.
  6194 
  6195 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6196 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6197 least one premise.
  6198 
  6199 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6200 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6201 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6202 rule steps.
  6203 
  6204 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6205 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6206 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6207 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6208 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6209 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6210 
  6211 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6212 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6213 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6214 
  6215 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6216 the graph browser tool.
  6217 
  6218 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6219 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6220 
  6221 
  6222 *** HOL ***
  6223 
  6224 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6225 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6226 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6227 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6228 multi-threading.
  6229   
  6230 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6231 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6232 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6233 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6234 work with multi-threading.
  6235 
  6236 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6237 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6238 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6239 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6240 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6241 
  6242 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6243 
  6244 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6245 equality.
  6246 
  6247 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6248 the new 'class' package:
  6249 
  6250     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6251     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide

  6269     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6270 
  6271 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6272 
  6273 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6274 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6275 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6276 names.
  6277 
  6278 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6279 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6280 
  6281 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6282 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6283 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6284 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6285 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6286 
  6287 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6288 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6289 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6290 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6291 
  6292 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6293 
  6294 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6295 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6296 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6297 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6298 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6299 
  6300 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6301 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6302 
  6303 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6304 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6305 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6306 
  6307 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6308 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6309 
  6310 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6311 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6312 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6313 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6314 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6315 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6316 in the current context.
  6317 
  6318 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6319 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6320 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6321 
  6322 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6323 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6324 
  6325 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6326 
  6327     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6328     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6329 
  6330     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6331       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6332     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6333     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6334 
  6335     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6336     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6337

  6440 
  6441 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6442 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6443 
  6444 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6445 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6446 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6447 "*.size".
  6448 
  6449 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6450 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6451 
  6452 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6453 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6454 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6455 
  6456 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6457 
  6458 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6459 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6460 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6461 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6462 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6463 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6464 numerals on all operations.
  6465 
  6466 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6467 
  6468 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6469 
  6470 * Code generator library theories:
  6471   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6472     languages.
  6473   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6474     languages.
  6475   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6476     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6477   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6478   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6479     denominator).
  6480   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6481     representable by rational numbers.
  6482   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6483     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6484     includes Code_Integer.
  6485   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6486     target-language built-in integers.
  6487   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6488     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6489 
  6490 * New package for inductive predicates
  6491 
  6492   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6493 
  6494     inductive
  6495       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6496       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6497     where
  6498       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6499     | ...
  6500 
  6501   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6502 
  6503     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6504 
  6505     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6506     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6507 
  6508     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6509     intros
  6510       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6511       ...
  6512 
  6513   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6514   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6515 
  6516     inductive_set
  6517       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6518       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6519     where
  6520       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6521     | ...
  6522 
  6523   or
  6524 
  6525     inductive_set
  6526       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6527       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6528       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6529     where
  6530       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6531     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6532     | ...
  6533 
  6534   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6535 
  6536   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6537   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6538 
  6539   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6540 
  6541   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6542     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6543     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6544     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6545     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6546 
  6547   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6548     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6549     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6550     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6551     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6552     statements of the form
  6553 
  6554       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6555 
  6556     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6557     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6558 
  6559       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6560 
  6561   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6562 
  6563       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6564         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6565         ==> ... ==> P
  6566 
  6567     for predicates and
  6568 
  6569       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6570         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6571         ==> ... ==> P
  6572 
  6573     for sets rather than
  6574 
  6575       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6576         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6577         ==> ... ==> P
  6578 
  6579     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6580     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6581     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6582 
  6583   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6584     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6585     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6586 
  6587 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6588 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6589 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6590 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6591 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6592 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6593 
  6594 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6595 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6596 
  6597 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6598 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6599 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6600 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6601 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6602 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6603 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6604 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6605 variable.
  6606 
  6607 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6608 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6609 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6610 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6611   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6612   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6613 
  6614 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6615 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6616 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6617 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6618 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6619 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6620 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6621 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6622 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6623 
  6624 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6625 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6626 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6627 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6628 rat, etc.
  6629 
  6630 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6631 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6632 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6633 
  6634 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6635 
  6636 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6637 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6638 
  6639 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6640 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6641 
  6642 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6643 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6644 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6645 
  6646 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6647 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6648 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6649 
  6650 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6651 
  6652 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6653 
  6654 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6655 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6656 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6657 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6658 
  6659 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6660 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6661 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6662 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6663 
  6664 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6665 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6666 algebraic operations.
  6667 
  6668 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6669 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6670 
  6671 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6672 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6673 
  6674 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6675 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6676 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6677 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6678 adapted.
  6679  
  6680 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6681 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6682 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6683 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6684 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6685 
  6686 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6687 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6688 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6689 
  6690 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6691 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6692 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6693 
  6694 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6695 
  6696 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6697 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6698 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6699   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6700       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6701   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6702   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6703   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6704 
  6705 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6706 
  6707 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6708 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6709 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6710 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6711 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6712 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6713 
  6714 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6715 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6716 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6717 
  6718 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6719 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6720 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6721 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6722 
  6723 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6724 
  6725 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6726 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6727 
  6728 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6729 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6730 
  6731 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6732 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6733 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6734 
  6735 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6736 True/False.
  6737 
  6738 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6739 
  6740 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6741 
  6742 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6743 ``rule'' method.
  6744 
  6745 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6746 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6747 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6748 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6749 
  6750 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6751 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6752 
  6753 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6754 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6755 
  6756 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6757 Library.
  6758 
  6759 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6760 
  6761 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6762 as greatest fixed-point.
  6763 
  6764 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6765 association lists.
  6766 
  6767 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6768 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6769 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6770 
  6771 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6772 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6773 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6774 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6775 behavior.
  6776 
  6777 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6778 
  6779 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6780 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6781 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6782 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6783 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6784 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6785 
  6786 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6787 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6788 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6789 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6790 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6791 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6792 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6793 
  6794 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6795 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6796 
  6797 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6798 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6799 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6800 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6801 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6802 
  6803 
  6804 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6805 
  6806 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6807 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6808 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6809 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6810 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6811 
  6812 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6813 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6814 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6815 
  6816 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6817 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6818 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6819 
  6820 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6821 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6822 
  6823 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6824 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6825 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6826 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6842   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6843 
  6844 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6845 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6846 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6847 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6858 
  6859 
  6860 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6861 
  6862 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6863 
  6864 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6865 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6866 
  6867 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6868 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6869 
  6870 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6871 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6872 of algebraic structures.
  6873 
  6874 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6875 
  6876 
  6877 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6878 
  6879 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6880 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6881 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6882 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6883 
  6884 
  6885 *** ML ***
  6886 
  6887 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6888 (even on SML/NJ).
  6889 
  6890 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6891 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6892 compile-time.  For example:
  6893 
  6894 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6895 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6896 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6897 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6898 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6899 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6900 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6901 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6902 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6903 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6904 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6905 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6906 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6907 ML {* @{context} *}
  6908 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6909 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6910 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6911 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6912 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6913 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6914 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6915 
  6916 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6917 
  6918 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6919 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6920 
  6921 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6922 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6923 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6924 
  6925 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6926 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6927 
  6928 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6929 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6930 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6931 
  6932 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6933 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6934 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6935 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6936 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6937 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6938 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6939 declarations and definitions.
  6940 
  6941 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6942 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6943 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6944 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6945 
  6946 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6947 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6948 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6949 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6950 
  6951 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6952 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6953 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6954 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6955 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6956 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6957 
  6958 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6959 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6960 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6961 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6962 attributes, methods, etc.
  6963 
  6964 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6965 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6966 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6967 fold_map combinators.
  6968 
  6969 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6970 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6971 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6972 derivation.
  6973 
  6974 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6975 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6976 achieve the old behaviour.
  6977 
  6978 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6979 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6980 statements.
  6981 
  6982 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6983 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6984 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6985 
  6986 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6987 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6988 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6989 
  6990   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6991   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6992   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6993 
  6994 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6995 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6996 
  6997 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6998 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6999 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7000 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7001 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7002 
  7003 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7004 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7005 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7006 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7007 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7008 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7009 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7010 in a locale context).
  7011 
  7012 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7013 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7014 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7015 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7016 
  7017 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7018 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7019 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7020 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7021 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7022 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7023 
  7024 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7025 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7026 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7027 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7028 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7029 
  7030   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7031 
  7032 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7033 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7034 this:
  7035 
  7036   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7037 
  7038 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7039 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7040 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7041 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7042 
  7043 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7044 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7045 
  7046 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7047 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7048 
  7049 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7050 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7051 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7052 batch mode.
  7053 
  7054 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7055 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7056 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7057 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7058 
  7059 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7060 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7061 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7062 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7063 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7064 
  7065 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7066 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7067 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7068 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7069 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7070 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7071 
  7072 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7073 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7074 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7075 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7076 
  7077 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7078 "Trueprop" etc.
  7079 
  7080 
  7081 *** System ***
  7082 
  7083 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7084 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7085 Isabelle installations.
  7086 
  7087 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7088 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7089 code.
  7090 
  7091 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7092 
  7093 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7094 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7095 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7096 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7097 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7098 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7099 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7100 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7101 Implementation manual.
  7102 
  7103 
  7104 
  7105 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7106 ----------------------------------
  7107 
  7108 *** General ***
  7109 
  7110 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7111 
  7112   theory <name>
  7113   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7114   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7115   begin
  7116 
  7117 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7118 
  7119   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7120 
  7121 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7122 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7123 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7124 
  7125 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7126 relative and absolute paths.
  7127 
  7128 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7129 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7130 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7131 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7132 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7133 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7134 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7135 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7136 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7137 
  7138   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7139 
  7140 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7141 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7142 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7143 
  7144 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7145 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7146 
  7147 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7148 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7149 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7150 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7151 
  7152   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7153   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7154 
  7155 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7156 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7157 faster.
  7158 
  7159 
  7160 *** Document preparation ***
  7161 
  7162 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7163 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7164 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7165 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7166 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7167 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7168 
  7169 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7170 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7171 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7172 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7173 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7174 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7175 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7176 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7177 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7178 \isadroptag.
  7179 
  7180 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7181 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7182 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7183 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7184 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7185 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7186 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7187 specified above.
  7188 
  7189 * Several new antiquotations:
  7190 
  7191   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7192 
  7193   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7194 
  7195   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7196   argument is a known logical constant;
  7197 
  7198   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7199   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7200 
  7201   @{ML text}
  7202 
  7203 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7204 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7205 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7206 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7207 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7208 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7209 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7210 
  7211 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7212 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7213 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7214 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7215 
  7216 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7217 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7218 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7219 
  7220 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7221 a proof context.
  7222 
  7223 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7224 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7225 
  7226 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7227 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7228 
  7229 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7230 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7231 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7232 
  7233 
  7234 *** Pure ***
  7235 
  7236 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7237 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7238 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7239 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7240 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7241 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7242 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7243 
  7244 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7245 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7246 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7247 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7248 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7249 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7250 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7251 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7252 
  7253 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7254 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7255 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7256 
  7257 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7258 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7259 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7260 
  7261 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7262 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7263 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7264 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7265 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7266 
  7267 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7268 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7269 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7270 axclasses vs. locales.
  7271 
  7272 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7273 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7274 
  7275 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7276 marks in schematic variable names.
  7277 
  7278 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7279 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7280 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7281 
  7282   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7283     by simp
  7284 
  7285 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7286 
  7287 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7288 annotations as "(00...)".
  7289 
  7290 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7291 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7292 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7293 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7294 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7295 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7296 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7297 
  7298 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7299 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7300 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7301 specifications.
  7302 
  7303 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7304 locally fixed variables as well.
  7305 
  7306 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7307 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7308 Limit.
  7309 
  7310 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7311 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7312 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7313 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7314 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7315 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7316 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7317 
  7318 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7319 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7320 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7321 
  7322 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7323 
  7324 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7325 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7326 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7327 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7328 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7329 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7330 
  7331 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7332 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7333 
  7334 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7335 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7336 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7337 
  7338 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7339 
  7340 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7341 theory development.
  7342 
  7343 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7344 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7345 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7346 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7347 
  7348 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7349 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7350 quoted when used as identifier.
  7351 
  7352 
  7353 *** Locales ***
  7354 
  7355 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7356 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7357 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7358 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7359 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7360 commands is a follows:
  7361 
  7362   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7363   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7364   (3) interpret expr inst
  7365 
  7366 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7367 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7368 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7369 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7370 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7371 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7372 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7373 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7374 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7375 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7376 
  7377 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7378 'interpret' instead.
  7379 
  7380 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7381 parameters.
  7382 
  7383 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7384 redeclaration.
  7385 
  7386 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7387 
  7388 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7389 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7390 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7391 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7392 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7393 
  7394 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7395 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7396 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7397 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7398 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7399 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7400 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7401 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7402 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7403 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7404 
  7405 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7406 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7407 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7408 
  7409 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7410 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7411 
  7412 
  7413 *** Provers ***
  7414 
  7415 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7416 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7417 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7418 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7419 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7420 
  7421 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7422 and quasi orders.
  7423 
  7424 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7425 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7426 
  7427 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7428 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7429 
  7430 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7431 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7432 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7433 
  7434 
  7435 *** HOL ***
  7436 
  7437 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7438 
  7439   syntax (epsilon)
  7440     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7441 
  7442 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7443 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7444 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7445 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7446 
  7447 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7448 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7449 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7450 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7451 
  7452 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7453 instead of ":".
  7454 
  7455 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7456 
  7457   Old       New
  7458   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7459   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7460   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7461   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7462   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7463 
  7464 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7465 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7466 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7467 
  7468   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7469   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7470 
  7471 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7472 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7473 interface.
  7474 
  7475 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7476 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7477 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7478 be a tuple pattern.
  7479 
  7480 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7481 
  7482   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7483   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7484   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7485   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7486 
  7487 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7488 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7489 
  7490 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7491 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7492 (insert F x)'.
  7493 
  7494 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7495 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7496 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7497 
  7498 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7499 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7500 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7501 
  7502 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7503 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7504 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7505 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7506 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7507 
  7508 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7509 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7510 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7511 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7512 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7513 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7514 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7515 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7516 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7517 
  7518 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7519 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7520 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7521 quite long.
  7522 
  7523 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7524 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7525 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7526 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7527 
  7528 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7529 type-variables in the term.
  7530 
  7531 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7532 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7533 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7534 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7535 goals than previously.
  7536 
  7537 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7538 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7539 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7540 just like y <= x.
  7541 
  7542 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7543 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7544 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7545 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7546 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7547 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7548 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7549 
  7550 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7551 
  7552 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7553 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7554 
  7555 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7556 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7557 inequalities.
  7558 
  7559 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7560 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7561 
  7562   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7563   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  7570   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7571   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7572   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7573 
  7574 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7575      
  7576      zero_le_square
  7577      not_square_less_zero 
  7578 
  7579   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7586      abs_realpow_two
  7587      realpow_two_abs     
  7588 
  7589 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7590 
  7591 * Theory List:
  7592 
  7593 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7594 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7595 
  7596   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7597   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7598   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7599   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7600 
  7601 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7602 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7603 
  7604 
  7605 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7606 
  7607 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7608 integers in the reals.
  7609 
  7610 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7611 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7612 
  7613   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7614   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7615   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7616   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7617   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7618 
  7619 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7620 
  7621 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7622 
  7623 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7624 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7625 
  7626   hypreal = real star
  7627   hypnat = nat star
  7628   hcomplex = complex star
  7629 
  7630 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7631 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7632

  7646 
  7647 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7648 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7674 
  7675 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7676 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7677 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7678 
  7679   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set

  7767 
  7768 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7769 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7770 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7771 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7772 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7773 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7774 
  7775 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7776 
  7777 
  7778 *** HOLCF ***
  7779 
  7780 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7781 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7782 type-inference.
  7783 
  7784 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7785 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7786 instead of exponential time).
  7787 
  7788 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7789 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7790 
  7791   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7792 
  7793 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7794 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7795 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7796 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7797 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7798 syntax and examples.
  7799 
  7800 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7801 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7802 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7803 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7804 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7805 
  7806 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7807 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7808 
  7809   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7810   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7811   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7812   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7813   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7814   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7815 
  7816 
  7817 *** ZF ***
  7818 
  7819 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7820 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7821 of a homomorphism).
  7822 
  7823 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7824 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7825 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7826 
  7827 
  7828 *** Cube ***
  7829 
  7830 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7831 theories.
  7832 
  7833 
  7834 *** ML ***
  7835 
  7836 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7837 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7838 
  7839 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7840 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7841 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7842 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7843 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7844 
  7845 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7846 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7847 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7848 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7849 
  7850 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7851 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7852 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7853 
  7854     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7855     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7856     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7857     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7858     seq fs = List.app fs
  7859     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7860     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7861 
  7862 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7863 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7864 
  7865   x |> f                f #> g
  7866   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7867 
  7868 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7869 
  7870   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7871   infix 2 ?;
  7872   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7873   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7874 
  7875 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7876 infix operators.
  7877 
  7878 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7879 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7880 example:
  7881 
  7882   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7883     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7884 
  7885   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7886     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7887 
  7888   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7889     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7890 
  7891   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7892     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7893 
  7894 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7895 available:
  7896 
  7897   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7898   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7899   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7900   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7901 
  7902 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7903 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7904 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7905 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7906 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7907 
  7908   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7909   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7910   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7911 
  7912 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7913 
  7914   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7915   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7916 
  7917 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7918 Naive rewrites:
  7919 
  7920   make_keylist = AList.make
  7921   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7922 
  7923 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7924   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7925 
  7926     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7927     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7928 
  7929 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7930   Naive rewrites:
  7931 
  7932     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7933     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7934 
  7935 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7936 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7937 lists.
  7938 
  7939 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7940 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7941 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7942 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7943 
  7944 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7945 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7946 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7947 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7948 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7949 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7950 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7951 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7952 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7953 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7954 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7955 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7956 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7957 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7958 Output.raw have no effect.
  7959 
  7960 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7961 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7962 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7963 
  7964 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7965 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7966 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7967 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7968 
  7969 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7970 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7971 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7972 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7973 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7974 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7975 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7976 
  7977 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7978 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7979 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7980 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7981 
  7982 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7983 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7984 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7985 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7986 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7987 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7988 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7989 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7990 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7991 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7992 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7993 
  7994 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7995 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7996 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7997 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7998 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7999 with earlier declarations.
  8000 
  8001 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8002 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8003 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8004 
  8005 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8006 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8007 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8008 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8009 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8010 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8011 
  8012   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8013     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8014 
  8015   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8016     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8017 
  8018   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8019     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8020     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8021     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8022 
  8023 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8024 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8025 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8026 
  8027 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8028 
  8029 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8030 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8031 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8032 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8033 
  8034 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8035 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8036 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8037 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8038 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8039 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8040 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8041 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8042 
  8043 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8044 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8045 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8046 
  8047 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8048 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8049 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8050 
  8051 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8052 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8053 
  8054   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8055   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8056   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8057   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8058 
  8059 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8060 
  8061 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8062 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8063 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8064 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8065 (both increase the runtime).
  8066 
  8067 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8068 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8069 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8070 
  8071 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8072 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8073 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8074 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8075 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8076 for further details.
  8077 
  8078 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8079 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8080 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8081 scripts for the time being.
  8082 
  8083 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8084 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8085 
  8086   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8087   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8088 
  8089 
  8090 *** System ***
  8091 
  8092 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8093 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8094 
  8095 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8096 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8097 
  8098 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8099 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8100 
  8101 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8102 distribution being used.
  8103 
  8104 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8105 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8106 theories.
  8107 
  8108 
  8109 
  8110 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8111 --------------------------------
  8112 
  8113 *** General ***
  8114 
  8115 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8116   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8117 
  8118 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8119   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8120   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8121   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8122   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8123   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8124   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8125   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8126   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8127   existing theory and ML files.
  8128 
  8129 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8130 
  8131 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8132   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8133   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8134   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8135 
  8136 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8137   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8138   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8139   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8140 
  8141 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8142   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8143   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8144 
  8145 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8146   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8147   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8148   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8149   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8150 
  8151 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8152   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8153 
  8154 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8155   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8156   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8157 
  8158 
  8159 *** Isar ***
  8160 
  8161 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8162   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8163   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8164     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8165     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8166     emulations.
  8167   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8168     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8169     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8170 
  8171 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8172   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8173     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8174     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8175   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8176 
  8177 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8178   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8179   and derived forms.
  8180 
  8181 * Locales:
  8182   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8183     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8184     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8185     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8186   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8187     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8188   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8189     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8190   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8191         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8192     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8193     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8194     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8195     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8196     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8197       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8198     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8199     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8200     with "locale (open)".
  8201       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8202 
  8203 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8204   (Isar) contexts.
  8205 
  8206 
  8207 *** HOL ***
  8208 
  8209 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8210   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8211   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8212   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8213   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8214 
  8215 * Simplifier:
  8216   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8217     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8218     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8219     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8220     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8221   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8222     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8223     is solved by simplification already.
  8224 
  8225 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8226     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8227 
  8228 * Numerics:
  8229   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8230     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8231   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8232     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8233   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8234     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8235     exponentiation).
  8236 
  8237 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8238 
  8239 * Records:
  8240   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8241     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8242     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8243   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8244     (not enabled by default).
  8245   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8246     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8247   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8248 
  8249 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8250   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8251   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8252 
  8253 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8254 
  8255 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8256 
  8257 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8258   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8259 
  8260 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8261   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8262 
  8263 * Unions and Intersections:
  8264   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8265   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8266   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8267   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8268 
  8269 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8270   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8271   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8272   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8273 
  8274 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8275   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8276 
  8277 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8278   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8279 
  8280 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8281   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8282   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8283 
  8284 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8285   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8286   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8287   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8288   for examples.
  8289 
  8290 
  8291 *** HOLCF ***
  8292 
  8293 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8294 
  8295 
  8296 
  8297 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8298 ------------------------------
  8299 
  8300 *** General ***
  8301 
  8302 * Provers/simplifier:
  8303 
  8304   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8305     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8306     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8307     the order of assumptions.
  8308 
  8309     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8310 
  8311     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8312        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8313 
  8314         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8315 
  8316        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8317 
  8318         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8319 
  8320        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8321        kind of problem.
  8322 
  8323     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8324        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8325        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8326        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8327        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8328        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8329        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8330 
  8331   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8332 
  8333   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8334     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8335     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8336     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8337     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8338     the simplifier would diverge.
  8339 
  8340   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8341 
  8342   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8343     congruence is ignored.
  8344 
  8345 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8346   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8347   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8348 
  8349 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8350 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8351    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8352 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8353 
  8354 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8355 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8356       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8357 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8358 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8359 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8360 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8361 
  8362 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8363 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8364 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8365 assumption failed.
  8366 
  8367 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8368 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8369 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8370 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8371 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8372 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8373 on the old view without predicates;
  8374 
  8375 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8376 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8377 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8378 
  8379 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8380 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8381 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8382 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8383 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8384 be given (the default is 40);
  8385 
  8386 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8387 (batch-mode only);
  8388 
  8389 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8390 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8391 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8392 
  8393 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8394 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8395 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8396 
  8397 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8398 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8399 
  8400 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8401 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8402 
  8403 
  8404 *** HOL ***
  8405 
  8406 * arith(_tac)
  8407 
  8408  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8409    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8410    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8411    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8412 
  8413  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8414 
  8415  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8416    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8417    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8418 
  8419 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8420 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8421 
  8422 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8423 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8424 
  8425 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8426 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8427 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8428 
  8429 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8430 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8431 
  8432 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8433 definition;
  8434 
  8435 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8436 Finite_Set);
  8437 
  8438 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8439 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8440 
  8441 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8442   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8443 
  8444 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8445 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8446 of the empty set.
  8447 
  8448 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8449 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8450 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8451 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8452 
  8453 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8454 
  8455 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8456 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8457 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8458 
  8459 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8460 
  8461 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8462 Fleuriot);
  8463 
  8464 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8465 
  8466 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8467 Gray and Kramer);
  8468 
  8469 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8470 
  8471 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8472 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8473 
  8474 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8475 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8476 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8477 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8478 assignment, exceptions.
  8479 
  8480 
  8481 *** ZF ***
  8482 
  8483 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8484 universe, etc.);
  8485 
  8486 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8487 
  8488 
  8489 *** ML ***
  8490 
  8491 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8492 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8493 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8494 
  8495 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8496 
  8497 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8498 up simprocs;
  8499 
  8500 
  8501 *** Document preparation ***
  8502 
  8503 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8504 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8505 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8506 
  8507 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8508 other packages
  8509 
  8510 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8511 broke \Rightarrow)
  8512 
  8513 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8514 textcomp package)
  8515 
  8516 
  8517 
  8518 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8519 --------------------------------
  8520 
  8521 *** Document preparation ***
  8522 
  8523 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8524 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8525 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8526 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8527 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8528 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8529 
  8530 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8531 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8532 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8533 
  8534 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8535 blocks after section headings;
  8536 
  8537 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8538 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8539 
  8540 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8541 better in printed text;
  8542 
  8543 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8544 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8545 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8546 
  8547 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8548 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8549 location;
  8550 
  8551 
  8552 *** Isar ***
  8553 
  8554 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8555   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8556     "case (Suc n)");
  8557   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8558     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8559     instantiation of cases;
  8560   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8561     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8562     rules without further ado;
  8563   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8564     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8565     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8566     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8567     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8568   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8569     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8570     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8571     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8572     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8573     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8574   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8575     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8576     below);
  8577   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8578     success (no backtracking);
  8579   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8580   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8581   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8582     General versions);
  8583   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8584   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8585 
  8586 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8587 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8588 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8589 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8590 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8591 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8592 fails:
  8593 
  8594   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8595 
  8596 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8597 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8598 
  8599 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8600 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8601 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8602 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8603 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8604 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8605 some examples;
  8606 
  8607 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8608 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8609 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8610 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8611 qualified by the locale name);
  8612 
  8613 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8614 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8615 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8616 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8617 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8618 
  8619 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8620 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8621 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8622 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8623 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8624 
  8625 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8626 
  8627 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8628 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8629 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8630 
  8631 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8632 
  8633 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8634 
  8635 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8636 
  8637 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8638 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8639 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8640 
  8641 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8642 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8643 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8644 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8645 proof *scripts*;
  8646 
  8647 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8648 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8649 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8650 especially important for locales);
  8651 
  8652 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8653 mode;
  8654 
  8655 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8656 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8657 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8658 situations;
  8659 
  8660 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8661 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8662 
  8663 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8664 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8665 discontinued;
  8666 
  8667 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8668 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8669 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8670 
  8671 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8672 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8673 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8674 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8675 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8676 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8677 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8678 
  8679 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8680 of introduction rules;
  8681 
  8682 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8683 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8684 conditional rules;
  8685 
  8686 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8687 
  8688 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8689 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8690 
  8691 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8692 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8693 
  8694 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8695 wf_induct_rule;
  8696 
  8697 
  8698 *** HOL ***
  8699 
  8700 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8701 follows:
  8702 
  8703   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8704   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8705 
  8706   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8707   binary representation internally;
  8708 
  8709   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8710   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8711 
  8712 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8713 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8714 
  8715   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8716   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8717   to be spaced properly;
  8718 
  8719   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8720   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8721 
  8722   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8723 
  8724   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8725 
  8726 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8727 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8728 
  8729 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8730 
  8731 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8732 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8733 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8734 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8735 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8736 
  8737 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8738   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8739     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8740     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8741     declared as simp by default;
  8742   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8743     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8744   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8745     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8746   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8747   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8748     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8749     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8750   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8751     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8752 
  8753 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8754 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8755 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8756 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8757 
  8758 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8759 
  8760 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8761         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8762         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8763 
  8764 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8765 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8766 
  8767 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8768 
  8769 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8770 
  8771 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8772 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8773   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8774 
  8775 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8776 in this (rare) case use:
  8777 
  8778   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8779   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8780 
  8781 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8782 MAY FAIL;
  8783 
  8784 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8785 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8786 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8787 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8788 
  8789 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8790 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8791 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8792 
  8793 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8794 expressions;
  8795 
  8796 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8797 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8798 
  8799 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8800 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8801 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8802 
  8803 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8804 
  8805 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8806 the "cases" method);
  8807 
  8808 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8809 Florian Kammller);
  8810 
  8811 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8812 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8813 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8814 
  8815 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8816 
  8817 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8818 
  8819 
  8820 *** HOLCF ***
  8821 
  8822 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8823 operations;
  8824 
  8825 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8826 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8827 
  8828 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8829 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8830 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8831 
  8832 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8833 
  8834 
  8835 *** ZF ***
  8836 
  8837 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8838 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8839 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8840 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8841 
  8842 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8843 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8844 
  8845 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8846 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8847 
  8848 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8849 typeless version of the formalism;
  8850 
  8851 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8852 format;
  8853 
  8854 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8855 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8856 new-style theory format;
  8857 
  8858 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8859 
  8860 
  8861 *** General ***
  8862 
  8863 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8864 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8865 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8866 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8867 
  8868 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8869 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8870 
  8871 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8872 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8873 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8874 properly;
  8875 
  8876 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8877 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8878 
  8879 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8880 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8881 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8882 type variable);
  8883 
  8884 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8885 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8886 "type_brackets";
  8887 
  8888 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8889 tokens into AST constants;
  8890 
  8891 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8892 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8893 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8894 
  8895 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8896 practice);
  8897 
  8898 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8899 addSafter;
  8900 
  8901 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8902 as well;
  8903 
  8904 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8905 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8906 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8907 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8908 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8909 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8910 
  8911 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8912 
  8913 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8914 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8915 
  8916 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8917 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8918 
  8919 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8920 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8921 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8922 
  8923 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8924 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8925 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8926 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8927 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8928 
  8929 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8930 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8931 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8932 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8933 
  8934 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8935 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8936 terminal);
  8937 
  8938 
  8939 
  8940 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8941 -----------------------------------
  8942 
  8943 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8944 
  8945 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8946 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8947 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8948 
  8949 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8950 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8951 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8952 'split_rule (complete)';
  8953 
  8954 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8955 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8956 
  8957 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8958 
  8959 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8960 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8961 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8962 
  8963 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8964 operation;
  8965 
  8966 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8967 
  8968 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8969 
  8970 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8971 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8972 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8973 
  8974 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8975 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8976 
  8977 
  8978 *** Document preparation ***
  8979 
  8980 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8981 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8982 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8983 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8984 type-writer);
  8985 
  8986 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8987 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8988 
  8989 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8990 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8991 
  8992 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8993 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8994 definitions);
  8995 
  8996 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8997 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8998 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8999 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9000 
  9001 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9002 fonts;
  9003 
  9004 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9005 generation;
  9006 
  9007 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9008 
  9009 
  9010 *** Isar ***
  9011 
  9012 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9013 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9014 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9015 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9016 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9017 
  9018 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9019 rules as well;
  9020 
  9021 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9022 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9023 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9024 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9025 
  9026 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9027 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9028 
  9029 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9030 statements as well;
  9031 
  9032 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9033 
  9034 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9035 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9036 
  9037 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9038 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9039 
  9040 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9041 
  9042 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9043 
  9044 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9045 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9046 
  9047 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9048 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9049 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9050 
  9051 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9052 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9053 the result to be shown in each case;
  9054 
  9055 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9056 
  9057 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9058 
  9059 
  9060 *** HOL ***
  9061 
  9062 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9063 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9064 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9065 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9066 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9067 
  9068 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9069 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9070 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9071 
  9072 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9073 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9074 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9075 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9076 literature;
  9077 
  9078 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9079 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9080 operator \<Sum>;
  9081 
  9082 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9083 HOL/subset.thy);
  9084 
  9085 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9086 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9087 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9088 
  9089 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9090 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9091 
  9092 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9093 rules with string literals);
  9094 
  9095 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9096  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9097  functions for the reals;
  9098 
  9099 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9100 
  9101 
  9102 *** CTT ***
  9103 
  9104 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9105 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9106 
  9107 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9108 and Arith);
  9109 
  9110 
  9111 *** General ***
  9112 
  9113 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9114 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9115 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9116 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9117 
  9118 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9119 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9120 
  9121 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9122 as assumptions as well;
  9123 
  9124 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9125 
  9126 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9127 
  9128 
  9129 
  9130 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9131 ----------------------------------
  9132 
  9133 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9134 
  9135 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9136 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9137 issue the following ML commands:
  9138 
  9139   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9140   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9141 
  9142 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9143 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9144 
  9145 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9146 
  9147 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9148 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9149 
  9150   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9151   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9152   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9153   selectI2         -> someI2
  9154   selectI          -> someI
  9155   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9156   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9157   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9158 
  9159 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9160 
  9161 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9162 instead);
  9163 
  9164 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9165 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9166 
  9167 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9168 
  9169 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9170 sometimes be needed;
  9171 
  9172 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9173 
  9174 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9175 
  9176 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9177 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9178 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9179 
  9180 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9181 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9182 
  9183 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9184 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9185 
  9186   syntax (symbols)
  9187     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9188       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9189 
  9190 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9191 
  9192 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9193 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9194 internally;
  9195 
  9196 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9197 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9198 
  9199 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9200 proofs;
  9201 
  9202 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9203 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9204 
  9205 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9206 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9207 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9208 "rule del";
  9209 
  9210 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9211 
  9212 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9213 
  9214 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9215 lib/texinputs);
  9216 
  9217 
  9218 *** Document preparation ***
  9219 
  9220 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9221 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9222 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9223 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9224 
  9225 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9226 including proper document sources;
  9227 
  9228 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9229 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9230 of isatool usedir;
  9231 
  9232 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9233 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9234 LaTeX debugging;
  9235 
  9236 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9237 
  9238 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9239 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9240 graph for 'all sessions';
  9241 
  9242 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9243 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9244 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9245 
  9246 
  9247 *** Isar ***
  9248 
  9249 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9250 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9251 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9252 
  9253 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9254 generalized existence reasoning;
  9255 
  9256 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9257 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9258 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9259 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9260 premises;
  9261 
  9262 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9263 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9264 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9265 to theorems as "tags";
  9266 
  9267 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9268 class/type/const name spaces;
  9269 
  9270 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9271 indicate potential overloading;
  9272 
  9273 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9274 
  9275 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9276 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9277 
  9278 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9279 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9280 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9281 
  9282 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9283 case name 'antecedent';
  9284 
  9285 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9286 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9287 
  9288 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9289 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9290 
  9291 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9292 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9293 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9294 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9295 
  9296 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9297 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9298 
  9299 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9300 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9301 well (including splits);
  9302 
  9303 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9304 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9305 
  9306 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9307 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9308 
  9309 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9310 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9311 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9312 
  9313 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9314 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9315 calculations;
  9316 
  9317 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9318 method anyway;
  9319 
  9320 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9321 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9322 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9323 
  9324 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9325 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9326 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9327 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9328 
  9329 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9330 
  9331 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9332 
  9333 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9334 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9335 proof states;
  9336 
  9337 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9338 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9339 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9340 
  9341 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9342 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9343 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9344 (for HOL datatypes);
  9345 
  9346 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9347 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9348 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9349 
  9350 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9351 
  9352 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9353 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9354 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9355 
  9356 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9357 
  9358 
  9359 *** HOL ***
  9360 
  9361 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9362 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9363 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9364 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9365 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9366 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9367 
  9368 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9369 Clemens Ballarin;
  9370 
  9371 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9372 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9373 Rasmussen;
  9374 
  9375 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9376 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9377 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9378 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9379 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9380 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9381 
  9382 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9383 von Oheimb;
  9384 
  9385 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9386 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9387 
  9388 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9389 
  9390 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9391 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9392 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9393 
  9394 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9395 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9396 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9397 
  9398 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9399 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9400 
  9401 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9402 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9403 
  9404 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9405    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9406    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9407   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9408     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9409   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9410     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9411 
  9412 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9413 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9414 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9415 
  9416 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9417 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9418 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9419 
  9420 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9421 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9422 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9423 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9424 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9425 
  9426 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9427 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9428 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9429 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9430 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9431 each equation;
  9432 
  9433 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9434 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9435 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9436 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9437 
  9438 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9439 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9440 
  9441 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9442 
  9443 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9444 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9445 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9446 
  9447 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9448 
  9449 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9450 main HOL, but was unused);
  9451 
  9452 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9453 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9454 
  9455 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9456 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9457 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9458 bogus);
  9459 
  9460 
  9461 *** ZF ***
  9462 
  9463 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9464 expressions over nat and int;
  9465 
  9466 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9467 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9468 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9469 
  9470 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9471 using the function intify;
  9472 
  9473 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9474 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9475 
  9476 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9477 simplification;
  9478 
  9479 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9480 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9481 
  9482 
  9483 *** General ***
  9484 
  9485 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9486 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9487 
  9488 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9489 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9490 
  9491 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9492 explicit make_elim);
  9493 
  9494 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9495   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9496 use instead the strong form,
  9497   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9498 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9499 from destruct-rules;
  9500 
  9501 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9502 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9503 
  9504 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9505 
  9506 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9507 for hiding of names;
  9508 
  9509 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9510 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9511 situations;
  9512 
  9513 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9514 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9515 Poly/ML);
  9516 
  9517 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9518 useful for remote X11);
  9519 
  9520 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9521 
  9522 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9523 order;
  9524 
  9525 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9526 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9527 
  9528 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9529 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9530 
  9531 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9532 overloading (usually false);
  9533 
  9534 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9535 results;
  9536 
  9537 
  9538 
  9539 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9540 --------------------------------
  9541 
  9542 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9543 
  9544 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9545 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9546 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9547 
  9548     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9549 
  9550 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9551 complement;
  9552 
  9553 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9554 
  9555 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9556   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9557 
  9558 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9559 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9560 
  9561 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9562 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9563 
  9564 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9565 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9566 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9567 
  9568 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9569 
  9570 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9571         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9572 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9573 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9574         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9575 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9576 
  9577 
  9578 *** Proof tools ***
  9579 
  9580 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9581 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9582 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9583 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9584 
  9585 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9586      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9587   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9588   matching.
  9589 
  9590 
  9591 *** General ***
  9592 
  9593 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9594 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9595 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9596 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9597 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9598 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9599 
  9600 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9601 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9602 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9603 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9604 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9605 
  9606 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9607 Isabelle/Isar;
  9608 
  9609 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9610 using the graph browser tool;
  9611 
  9612 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9613 
  9614 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9615 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9616 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9617 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9618 isatool doc ref);
  9619 
  9620 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9621 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9622 
  9623 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9624 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9625 
  9626 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9627 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9628 Isabelle;
  9629 
  9630 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9631 
  9632 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9633 empty;
  9634 
  9635 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9636 long arrows);
  9637 
  9638 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9639 
  9640 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9641 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9642 
  9643 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9644 mode and goal output format:
  9645 
  9646 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9647 244c244
  9648 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9649 ---
  9650 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9651 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9652 181c181
  9653 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9654 ---
  9655 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9656 
  9657 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9658 
  9659 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9660 
  9661 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9662 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9663 result still apply;
  9664 
  9665 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9666 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9667 
  9668

  9670 
  9671 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9672 
  9673 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9674 int:
  9675 
  9676 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9677 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9678 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9679 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9680 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9681 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9682 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9683 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9684 
  9685 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9686 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9687 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9688 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9689 simplifier.
  9690 
  9691 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9692 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9693 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9694 
  9695 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9696 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9697 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9698 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9699 type constraints;
  9700 
  9701 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9702 arguments;
  9703 
  9704 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9705 are now available;
  9706 
  9707 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9708 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9709 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9710 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9711 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9712   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9713 
  9714 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9715 
  9716 
  9717 ** HOL misc **
  9718 
  9719 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9720 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9721 
  9722 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9723 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9724 
  9725 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9726 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9727 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9728 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9729 
  9730 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9731   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9732   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9733   "mono" attribute);
  9734 
  9735 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9736   (using function types) such as
  9737 
  9738   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9739 
  9740 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9741 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9742 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9743 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9744 
  9745   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9746   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9747 
  9748 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9749 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9750 
  9751 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9752 names rather than an ML expression;
  9753 
  9754 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9755 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9756     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9757 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9758 
  9759 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9760 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9761 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9762 
  9763 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9764 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9765 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9766 
  9767 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9768 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9769 
  9770 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9771 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9772 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9773 
  9774 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9775 
  9776 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9777 thus available for user theories;
  9778 
  9779 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9780 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9781 time;
  9782 
  9783 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9784 several times and then mp;
  9785 
  9786 
  9787 *** LK ***
  9788 
  9789 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9790 formulas;
  9791 
  9792 * the simplifier is now installed
  9793 
  9794 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9795 
  9796 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9797 
  9798 
  9799 *** ZF ***
  9800 
  9801 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9802 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9803 
  9804 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9805 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9806 
  9807 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9808 
  9809 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9810 constructors;
  9811 
  9812 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9813 type-checking rules;
  9814 
  9815 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9816 to the claset;
  9817 
  9818 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9819 if(P,x,y);
  9820 
  9821 
  9822 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9823 
  9824 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9825 
  9826 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9827 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9828 
  9829 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9830 
  9831 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9832 printing empty lines;
  9833 
  9834 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9835 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9836 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9837 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9838 
  9839 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9840 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9841 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9842 
  9843 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9844 now of type real instead of int;
  9845 
  9846 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9847 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9848 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9849 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9850 
  9851 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9852 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9853 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9854 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9855 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9856 
  9857 
  9858 
  9859 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9860 ----------------------------------
  9861 
  9862 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9863 
  9864 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9865 
  9866 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9867 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9868 
  9869 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9870 called `inj_on';
  9871 
  9872 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9873   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9874   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9875 
  9876 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9877 required);
  9878 
  9879 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9880 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9881 now taken as an integer constant.
  9882 
  9883 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9884 
  9885 
  9886 *** Proof tools ***
  9887 
  9888 * Simplifier:
  9889   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9890      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9891         simplify.
  9892      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9893         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9894      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9895      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9896   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9897 
  9898 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9899 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9900 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9901 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9902 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9903 one (emitting a warning).
  9904   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9905   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9906   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9907   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9908   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9909 
  9910 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9911 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9912 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9913 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9914 by Force_tac;
  9915 
  9916 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9917 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9918 
  9919 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9920 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9921 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9922 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9923 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9924 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9925 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9926 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9927 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9928 
  9929 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9930 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9931 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9932 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9933 
  9934 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9935 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9936 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9937 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9938 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9939 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9940 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9941 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9942 t is the name of the datatype).
  9943 
  9944 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9945 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9946 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9947 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9948 
  9949 
  9950 *** General ***
  9951 
  9952 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9953 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9954 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9955 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9956 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9957 (backup your sources first!);
  9958 
  9959 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9960 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9961 
  9962 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9963 definitions that have local scope;
  9964 
  9965 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9966 
  9967 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9968 (e.g. package initialization);
  9969 
  9970 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9971 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9972 
  9973 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9974 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9975 
  9976 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9977 
  9978 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9979 
  9980 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9981 
  9982 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9983 
  9984 
  9985 *** HOL ***
  9986 
  9987 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9988 
  9989 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9990 definitions such as
  9991 
  9992   inductive EVEN ODD
  9993     intrs
  9994       null "0 : EVEN"
  9995       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9996       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9997 
  9998 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9999 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10000 correctly (also ZF);
 10001 
 10002 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10003 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10004 contained in "induct";
 10005 
 10006 
 10007 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10008 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10009 
 10010   datatype
 10011     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10012             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10013             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10014             | NUM 'a
 10015   and
 10016     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10017             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10018             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10019 
 10020 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10021 
 10022   datatype
 10023     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10024                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10025 
 10026 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10027 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10028 
 10029 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10030 <function_name>.simps.
 10031 
 10032 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10033 
 10034   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10035     ancestor.
 10036   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10037     generic induct_tac instead.
 10038   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10039     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10040     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10041     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10042   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10043     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10044   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10045     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10046     sort constraints.
 10047   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10048     of recursive argument.
 10049 
 10050 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10051 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10052 
 10053 
 10054 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10055 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10056 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10057 support is as follows:
 10058 
 10059   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10060 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10061 
 10062   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10063 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10064 
 10065   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10066 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10067 
 10068 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10069 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10070 the name of your record type.
 10071 
 10072 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10073 
 10074   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10075 
 10076 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10077 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10078 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10079 solve record problems automatically.
 10080 
 10081 
 10082 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10083 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10084 
 10085 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10086 
 10087 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10088 
 10089 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10090 
 10091 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10092 
 10093 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10094 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10095 with add/delsplits);
 10096 
 10097 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10098 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10099 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10100 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10101 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10102 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10103 %u.f();
 10104 
 10105 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10106 makes more sense);
 10107 
 10108 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10109   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10110   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10111 
 10112 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10113 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10114 literature);
 10115 
 10116 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10117 the well-founded relation;
 10118 
 10119 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10120     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10121     release ONLY.
 10122 
 10123 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10124     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10125 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10126 
 10127 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10128 
 10129 * HOL/List:
 10130   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10131     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10132   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10133     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10134     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10135   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10136 
 10137 * HOL/Arith:
 10138   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10139   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10140   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10141   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10142 
 10143 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10144 instead of "inverse";
 10145 
 10146 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10147   of the multiset ordering;
 10148 
 10149 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10150   (not included by default);
 10151 
 10152 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10153 
 10154 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10155   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10156 
 10157 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10158   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10159   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10160 
 10161 
 10162 *** ZF ***
 10163 
 10164 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10165   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10166 
 10167 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10168   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10169   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10170 
 10171 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10172     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10173   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10174 
 10175 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10176 
 10177 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10178   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10179   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10180 
 10181 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10182     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10183 
 10184 
 10185 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10186 
 10187 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10188 also src/Pure/README;
 10189 
 10190 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10191 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10192 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10193 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10194 
 10195 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10196 are qualified by default;
 10197 
 10198 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10199 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10200 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10201 
 10202 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10203 cterm -> thm;
 10204 
 10205 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10206 subgoal;
 10207 
 10208 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10209 
 10210 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10211 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10212 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10213 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10214 for example;
 10215 
 10216 
 10217 
 10218 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10219 --------------------------------
 10220 
 10221 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10222 
 10223 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10224 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10225 
 10226 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10227 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10228 
 10229 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10230 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10231 
 10232 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10233 
 10234 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10235 
 10236 
 10237 *** General Changes ***
 10238 
 10239 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10240 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10241 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10242 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10243 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10244 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10245 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10246 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10247 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10248 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10249 section;
 10250 
 10251 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10252 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10253 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10254 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10255 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10256 
 10257 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10258 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10259 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10260 
 10261 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10262 conditional equations;
 10263 
 10264 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10265 
 10266 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10267 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10268 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10269 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10270 
 10271 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10272 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10273 
 10274 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10275 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10276 
 10277 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10278 show_types);
 10279 
 10280 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10281 
 10282 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10283 
 10284 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10285 
 10286 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10287 
 10288 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10289 
 10290 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10291     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10292 
 10293 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10294 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10295 
 10296 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10297 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10298 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10299 
 10300 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10301 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10302 
 10303 
 10304 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10305 
 10306 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10307 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10308 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10309 
 10310 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10311 
 10312 
 10313 *** Simplifier ***
 10314 
 10315 * added simplification meta rules:
 10316     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10317 
 10318 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10319 logics (again);
 10320 
 10321 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10322 
 10323 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10324   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10325   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10326 
 10327 
 10328 *** Syntax ***
 10329 
 10330 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10331 
 10332 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10333 
 10334 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10335 
 10336 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10337 
 10338 
 10339 *** HOL ***
 10340 
 10341 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10342   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10343 
 10344 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10345 
 10346 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10347   protocol TLS;
 10348 
 10349 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10350 
 10351 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10352 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10353 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10354 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10355 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10356 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10357 
 10358 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10359   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10360   are rewritten to
 10361   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10362   and those of the form
 10363   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10364   are rewritten to
 10365   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10366 
 10367 * HOL/datatype
 10368   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10369 
 10370   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10371      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10372         ...
 10373        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10374      )
 10375 
 10376   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10377 
 10378   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10379     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10380         ...
 10381        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10382      )
 10383   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10384   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10385   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10386 
 10387 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10388   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10389     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10390     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10391   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10392     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10393     `standard'.
 10394 
 10395 * HOL/Lists:
 10396   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10397   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10398   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10399 
 10400 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10401 
 10402 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10403   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10404 
 10405 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10406 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10407 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10408 
 10409 
 10410 *** HOLCF ***
 10411 
 10412 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10413 
 10414 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10415   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10416 
 10417 * domain package:
 10418   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10419   . creates hierachical name space,
 10420   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10421   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10422   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10423   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10424   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10425     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10426 
 10427 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10428 
 10429 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10430 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10431 
 10432 
 10433 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10434 
 10435 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10436   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10437 
 10438 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10439 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10440 
 10441 
 10442 
 10443 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10444 ------------------------------
 10445 
 10446 *** General Changes ***
 10447 
 10448 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10449 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10450 
 10451 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10452 
 10453 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10454 
 10455 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10456 messages and clean internal interface;
 10457 
 10458 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10459 setting goals_limit);
 10460 
 10461 
 10462 *** Syntax ***
 10463 
 10464 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10465 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10466 
 10467 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10468 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10469 "symbols" syntax table;
 10470 
 10471 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10472 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10473 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10474 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10475 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10476 
 10477 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10478 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10479 version of xterm);
 10480 
 10481 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10482 
 10483 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10484 access type of constant);
 10485 
 10486 
 10487 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10488 
 10489 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10490 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10491   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10492   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10493         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10494   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10495   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10496     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10497   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10498 
 10499 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10500 assumptions;
 10501 
 10502 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10503 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10504 (and access functions for it);
 10505 
 10506 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10507   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10508   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10509     safe steps.
 10510   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10511     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10512     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10513 
 10514 *** Simplifier ***
 10515 
 10516 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10517 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10518 redex);
 10519 
 10520 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10521 
 10522 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10523 
 10524 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10525 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10526 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10527 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10528 
 10529 
 10530 *** HOL ***
 10531 
 10532 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10533 also for type `nat';
 10534 
 10535 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10536 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10537 
 10538 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10539 
 10540 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10541 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10542 
 10543 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10544 
 10545 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10546 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10547 
 10548 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10549 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10550 
 10551 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10552 infinite lists;
 10553 
 10554 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10555 
 10556 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10557 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10558 
 10559 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10560 
 10561 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10562 
 10563 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10564 
 10565 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10566 
 10567 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10568   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10569   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10570   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10571   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10572   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10573   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10574   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10575   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10576 
 10577 
 10578 *** ZF ***
 10579 
 10580 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10581 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10582 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];

 10585 
 10586 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10587 ---------------------------------
 10588 
 10589 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10590 
 10591 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10592 
 10593 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10594 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10595 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10596 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10597 
 10598 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10599 
 10600 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10601 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10602 
 10603 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10604 
 10605 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10606 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10607 
 10608 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10609 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10610 
 10611 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10612 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10613 
 10614 
 10615 
 10616 New in Isabelle94-6
 10617 -------------------
 10618 
 10619 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10620 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10621 
 10622 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10623 
 10624 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10625 
 10626 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10627 
 10628 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10629 
 10630 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10631 
 10632 
 10633 
 10634 New in Isabelle94-5
 10635 -------------------
 10636 
 10637 * reduced space requirements;
 10638 
 10639 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10640 
 10641 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10642 
 10643 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10644 
 10645 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10646 
 10647 
 10648 
 10649 New in Isabelle94-4
 10650 -------------------
 10651 
 10652 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10653 
 10654 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10655 
 10656 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10657 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10658 
 10659 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10660 Axiom of Choice;
 10661 
 10662 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10663 
 10664 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10665 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10666 
 10667 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10668 
 10669 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10670 translates to the operator "split";
 10671 
 10672 
 10673 
 10674 New in Isabelle94-3
 10675 -------------------
 10676 
 10677 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10678 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10679         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10680 
 10681 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10682 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10683 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10684 
 10685 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10686 
 10687 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10688 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10689 
 10690 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10691 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10692 
 10693 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10694 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10695 
 10696 
 10697 
 10698 New in Isabelle94-2
 10699 -------------------
 10700 
 10701 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10702 
 10703 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10704 freely;
 10705 
 10706 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10707 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10708 
 10709 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10710 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10711 (theory_of_thm);
 10712 
 10713 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10714 
 10715 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10716 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10717 
 10718 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10719 have been removed;
 10720 
 10721 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10722 
 10723 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10724 
 10725 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10726 types;
