introduce Bochner integral: generalizes Lebesgue integral from real-valued function to functions on real-normed vector spaces
     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    10 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    11 
    12 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    13 not check existence within the file-system.
    14 
    15 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary Isabelle/ML
    16 workaround in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    17 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.
    18 
    19 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    20 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    21 string token.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    24 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    25 supports input via ` (backquote).
    26 
    27 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    28 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    29 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    30 
    31 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    32 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    33 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    34 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    35 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    36 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    37 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    38 proof tools.
    39 
    40 * Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.
    41 Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
    42 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
    43 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
    44 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'
    45 and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two
    46 separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for
    47 some examples.
    48 
    49 
    50 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    51 
    52 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism:
    53 
    54   - No completion for Isar keywords that have already been recognized
    55     by the prover, e.g. ":" within accepted Isar syntax looses its
    56     meaning as abbreviation for symbol "\<in>".
    57 
    58   - Completion context provides information about embedded languages
    59     of Isabelle: keywords are only completed for outer syntax, symbols
    60     or antiquotations for languages that support them.  E.g. no symbol
    61     completion for ML source, but within ML strings, comments,
    62     antiquotations.
    63 
    64   - Support for semantic completion based on failed name space lookup.
    65     The error produced by the prover contains information about
    66     alternative names that are accessible in a particular position.
    67     This may be used with explicit completion (C+b) or implicit
    68     completion after some delay.
    69 
    70   - Semantic completions may get extended by appending a suffix of
    71     underscores to an already recognized name, e.g. "foo_" to complete
    72     "foo" or "foobar" if these are known in the context.  The special
    73     identifier "__" serves as a wild-card in this respect: it
    74     completes to the full collection of names from the name space
    75     (truncated according to the system option "completion_limit").
    76 
    77   - Syntax completion of the editor and semantic completion of the
    78     prover are merged.  Since the latter requires a full round-trip of
    79     document update to arrive, the default for option
    80     jedit_completion_delay has been changed to 0.5s to improve the
    81     user experience.
    82 
    83   - Option jedit_completion_immediate may now get used with
    84     jedit_completion_delay > 0, to complete symbol abbreviations
    85     aggressively while benefiting from combined syntactic and semantic
    86     completion.
    87 
    88   - Support for simple completion templates (with single
    89     place-holder), e.g. "`" for text cartouche, or "@{" for
    90     antiquotation.
    91 
    92   - Support for path completion within the formal text, based on
    93     file-system content.
    94 
    95   - Improved treatment of completion vs. various forms of jEdit text
    96     selection (multiple selections, rectangular selections,
    97     rectangular selection as "tall caret").
    98 
    99   - More reliable treatment of GUI events vs. completion popups: avoid
   100     loosing keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
   101 
   102 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
   103 completion popup and context-menu.  See also "Plugin Options /
   104 Isabelle / General / Spell Checker" for some system options.
   105 
   106 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
   107 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
   108 
   109 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
   110 auxiliary ML files.
   111 
   112 * Document panel: simplied interaction where every single mouse click
   113 (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit buffer.
   114 
   115 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
   116 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
   117 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
   118 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.
   119 
   120 * Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
   121 to highlight text via regular expression.
   122 
   123 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
   124 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
   125 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
   126 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
   127 
   128 * New panel: Simplifier trace.  Provides an interactive view of the
   129 simplification process, enabled by the newly-introduced
   130 "simplifier_trace" declaration.
   131 
   132 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons).
   133 
   134 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
   135 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   136 
   137 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
   138 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.
   139 
   140 * Improved management of dockable windows: clarified keyboard focus
   141 and window placement wrt. main editor view; optional menu item to
   142 "Detach" a copy where this makes sense.
   143 
   144 
   145 *** Pure ***
   146 
   147 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   148 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   149 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   150 renaming needs to be applied:
   151 
   152   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   153   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   154   all            ~>  Pure.all
   155   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   156   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   157 
   158 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   159 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   160 old constants:
   161 
   162 setup {*
   163   fn thy => thy
   164     |> Sign.root_path
   165     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   166     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   167     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   168     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   169 *}
   170 
   171 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   172 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   173 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   174 
   175 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   176 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   177 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   178 'instance' with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem might be
   179 postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof finished
   180 trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous (without
   181 any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   182 Axclass.axiomatize_class, Axclass.axiomatize_classrel,
   183 Axclass.axiomatize_arity.
   184 
   185 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   186 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   187 instantiated theorem.
   188 
   189 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   190 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   191 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   192 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   193 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   194 
   195   attribute_setup standard =
   196     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   197 
   198 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   199 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   200 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   201 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   202 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   203 
   204 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   205 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   206 differently).
   207 
   208 
   209 *** HOL ***
   210 
   211 * Command and antiquotation ''value'' are hardcoded against nbe and
   212 ML now.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   213 
   214 * Separate command ''approximate'' for approximative computation
   215 in Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   216 
   217 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   218   * Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   219   * Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF
   220   and SUP instead uniformly.
   221   * More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   222   or SUP and Sup.
   223   * INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   224   * Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   225   * Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong,
   226   with simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace
   227   former INT_cong, SUP_cong
   228 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   229 
   230 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:
   231   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   232   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   233   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   234   vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   235   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   236 
   237 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules
   238   can now deal with conjunctions.
   239   For help with converting proofs, the old behaviour of the simplifier
   240   can be restored like this:  declare/using [[simp_legacy_precond]]
   241   This configuration option will disappear again in the future.
   242 
   243 * HOL-Word:
   244   * Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a
   245   duplicate of "word_arith_wis".
   246   * Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
   247   "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
   248   "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   249 
   250 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict
   251 target language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   252 
   253 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   254 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   255 
   256 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.
   257 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   258 
   259 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures" option.
   260 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   261 
   262 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   263 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   264 
   265 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".
   266   The "bnf", "wrap_free_constructors", "datatype_new", "codatatype",
   267   "primcorec", and "primcorecursive" commands are now part of "Main".

   299     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   300   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   301 
   302 * New (co)datatype package:
   303   * "primcorec" is fully implemented.
   304   * "datatype_new" generates size functions ("size_xxx" and "size") as
   305     required by "fun".
   306   * BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style (co)datatypes
   307     with Transfer.
   308   * Renamed commands:
   309       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   310       primrec_new ~> primrec
   311       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   312     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   313   * The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   314     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   315     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   316   * The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer generated.
   317     Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually using "prim(co)rec".
   318     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   319 
   320 * Old datatype package:
   321   * The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been renamed
   322     "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" -> "sum.case").
   323     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   324   * The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have been
   325     renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~>
   326     "case_prod").
   327     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   328 
   329 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions, their
   330   relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new BNF-based
   331   datatype package.
   332   Renamed constants:
   333     Option.set ~> set_option
   334     Option.map ~> map_option
   335     option_rel ~> rel_option
   336   Renamed theorems:
   337     set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]
   338     map_def ~> map_rec[abs_def]
   339     Option.map_def ~> map_option_case[abs_def] (with "case_option" instead of "rec_option")
   340     option.recs ~> option.rec
   341     list_all2_def ~> list_all2_iff
   342     set.simps ~> set_simps (or the slightly different "list.set")

   344     hd.simps ~> list.sel(1)
   345     tl.simps ~> list.sel(2-3)
   346     the.simps ~> option.sel
   347   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   348 
   349 * The following map functions and relators have been renamed:
   350     sum_map ~> map_sum
   351     map_pair ~> map_prod
   352     prod_rel ~> rel_prod
   353     sum_rel ~> rel_sum

   359     vset ~> rel_vset (in "Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   360 
   361 * New theory:
   362     Cardinals/Ordinal_Arithmetic.thy
   363 
   364 * Theory reorganizations:
   365   * Big_Operators.thy ~> Groups_Big.thy and Lattices_Big.thy
   366 
   367 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof traces.
   368   This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and "dpll".
   369   Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT solvers should
   370   use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now the default SAT
   371   solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and corresponding tactics;
   372   the old default can be restored using
   373   "declare [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]". Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   374 
   375 * SMT module:
   376   * A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2
   377     and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g., 4.3). The new proof method is
   378     called "smt2", and the new Z3 is called "z3_new" in Sledgehammer and
   379     elsewhere.
   380 
   381 * Sledgehammer:
   382   - New prover "z3_new" with support for Isar proofs
   383   - New option:
   384       smt_proofs
   385   - Renamed options:
   386       isar_compress ~> compress_isar
   387       isar_try0 ~> try0_isar
   388     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   389 
   390 * Metis:
   391   - Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis (full_types)' instead.
   392     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   393 
   394 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   395 
   396 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   397 
   398 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   399 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   400 
   401 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   402 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   403 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   404 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   405 
   406 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   407 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   408 
   409 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   410 with the given constants.
   411 
   412 * Abolished slightly odd global lattice interpretation for min/max.
   413

   461 max.cobounded1m max.cobounded2 directly.
   462 
   463 For min_ac or max_ac, prefer more general collection ac_simps.
   464 
   465 INCOMPATBILITY. 
   466 
   467 * Word library: bit representations prefer type bool over type bit.
   468 INCOMPATIBILITY.

   473 * Code generations are provided for make, fields, extend and truncate
   474 operations on records.

   476 * Qualified constant names Wellfounded.acc, Wellfounded.accp.
   477 INCOMPATIBILITY.

   481 INCOMPATIBILITY.

   485     even_zero_(nat|int) ~> even_zero
   486 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   487 
   488 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   489   * Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   490   * Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   491   * When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   492     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   493   * HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   494     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   495   * Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

   511 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   512 
   513 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
   514 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
   515 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,

   517 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
   518 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly
   519 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and
   520 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   521 
   522 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   523 
   524 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   525 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   526 
   527 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   528 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   529 
   530 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   531 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   532 or the brute way with
   533 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   534 
   535 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice
   536 
   537 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   538 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   539 
   540 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them
   541 instead of explicitly stating boundedness of sets.
   542 
   543 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow
   544 more syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain
   545 shows up as additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.
   546 INCOMPATIBILITY
   547 
   548 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:

   567     sumr_one_lb_realpow_zero, summable_convergent_sumr_iff, sumr_diff_mult_const
   568 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   569 
   570 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:
   571   - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"
   572 
   573   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   574 
   575   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   576 
   577   - removed constant isDiff
   578 
   579   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as input
   580     syntax.
   581 
   582   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed
   583 
   584   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   585 
   586   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   587 
   588   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   589 
   590   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which includes now rules for
   591     DERIV, has_derivative and has_vector_derivative.
   592 
   593   - Other renamings:

   600     deriv_def                 ~>  DERIV_def
   601 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   602 
   603 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the continuous_on_intros,
   604   isCont_intros collections, these facts are now in continuous_intros.
   605 
   606 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im, the Complex
   607   constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use primcorec to defined the
   608   behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   609 
   610   Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they are
   611   available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This especially
   612   removes
   613     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   614 
   615   Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   616     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"
   617 
   618   Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.

   645     complex_inverse_def
   646     complex_scaleR_def
   647 
   648 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   649 
   650 * Nitpick:
   651   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could take
   652     infinite values.
   653   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as "Abs_Integ" and
   654     "Rep_Integ".
   655   - Removed "std" option.
   656   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   657     "hide_types".
   658 
   659 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   660   - type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces
   661   - changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   662     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   663     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   664     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   665     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-) open
   666     intervals.
   667 
   668   - renamed theorems:

   670     derivative_is_linear      ~>  has_derivative_linear
   671     bounded_linear_imp_linear ~>  bounded_linear.linear
   672 
   673 * HOL-Probability:
   674   - replaced the Lebesgue integral on real numbers by the more general Bochner
   675     integral for functions into a real-normed vector space.

   735 
   736 *** Scala ***
   737 
   738 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   739 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   740 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   741 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   742 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   743 
   744 
   745 *** ML ***
   746 
   747 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   748 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   749 
   750 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   751 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context via
   752 "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   753 
   754 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   755 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   756 
   757 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   758 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   759 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   760 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   761 
   762 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   763 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   764 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   765 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   766 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   767 of schematic variables.
   768 
   769 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   770 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   771 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   772 formal context.
   773 
   774 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   775 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   776 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   777 actually belongs to it).
   778 
   779 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   780 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   781 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   782 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   783 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   784 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   785 
   786 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   787 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   788 
   789 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   790 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   791 
   792 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   793 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   794 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   795 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   796 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
   797 
   798 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
   799 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
   800 purposes.
   801 
   802 
   803 *** System ***
   804 
   805 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
   806 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
   807 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
   808 processing is started.
   809 
   810 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
   811 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
   812 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
   813 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
   814 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
   815 
   816 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
   817 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
   818 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
   819 
   820 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
   821 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
   822 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
   823 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
   824 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS
   825 settings variable yet.
   826 
   827 * Retired the now unused Isabelle tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality
   828 may be integrated into PIDE/jEdit at a later point.
   829 
   830 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
   831 -------------------------------------
   832 
   833 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   834 
   835 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
   836 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
   837 
   838 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
   839 after edits surrounding the command location.
   840 
   841 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
   842 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
   843 e.g. out-of-memory).
   844 
   845 
   846 *** System ***
   847 
   848 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
   849 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
   850 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
   851 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
   852 
   853 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
   854 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
   855 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
   856 
   857 
   858 
   859 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
   860 -------------------------------------
   861 
   862 *** General ***
   863 
   864 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
   865 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
   866 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   867 
   868 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
   869 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   870 
   871 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
   872 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
   873 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
   874 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
   875 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
   876 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
   877 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
   878 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
   879 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
   880 syntax.
   881 
   882 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
   883 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   884 
   885 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
   886 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
   887 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
   888 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
   889 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
   890 
   891 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
   892 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   893 
   894 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
   895 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
   896 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
   897 
   898 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
   899 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
   900 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
   901 
   902 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
   903 eliminated old "ref" manual.
   904 
   905 
   906 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   907 
   908 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
   909 Documentation panel.
   910 
   911 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
   912 documentation.
   913 
   914 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
   915 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
   916 
   917 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
   918 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
   919 normal editing and checking process.
   920 
   921 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
   922 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
   923 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
   924 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
   925 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
   926 
   927 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   928 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   929 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   930 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   931 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   932 
   933 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   934 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   935 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   936 
   937 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   938 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   939 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   940 to resolve conflict.
   941 
   942 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   943 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   944 
   945 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   946 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   947 such command executions while editing.
   948 
   949 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   950 document content.
   951 
   952 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   953 toplevel theorem statements.
   954 
   955 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   956 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   957 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   958 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   959 
   960 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   961 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   962 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   963 
   964 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   965 / Global Options / Appearance".
   966 
   967 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   968 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   969 
   970 
   971 *** Pure ***
   972 
   973 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   974 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   975 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   976 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   977 details.
   978 
   979 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   980 
   981 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   982 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   983 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   984 
   985 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   986 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   987 
   988 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   989 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   990 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   991 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   992 
   993 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   994 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   995 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   996 
   997 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   998 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   999 
  1000 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1001 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1002 situations.
  1003 
  1004 
  1005 *** HOL ***
  1006 
  1007 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1008 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1009 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1010 
  1011 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1012 
  1013 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1014 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1015 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1016 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1017 
  1018   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1019 
  1020 * Code generator:
  1021   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1022     'code_instance'.
  1023   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1024     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1025 
  1026 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1027 examples.
  1028 
  1029 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1030 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1031 to distinguish both when desired.
  1032 
  1033 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1034 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1035 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1036 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1037 
  1038 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1039 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1040 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1041 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1042 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1043 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1044 
  1045 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1046 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1047 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1048 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1049 
  1050 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1051 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1052 
  1053 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1054 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1055 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1056 
  1057 * Lifting:
  1058   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1059     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1060       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1061       transfer rules
  1062     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1063       correspondence relation can be generated
  1064     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1065       parametricity
  1066     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1067   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1068   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1069     copies
  1070   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1071     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1072     anonymous context)
  1073   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1074     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1075   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1076     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1077   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1078     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1079 
  1080 * Transfer:
  1081   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1082     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1083   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1084   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1085     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1086   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1087 
  1088 * Reification and reflection:
  1089   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1090     "Reification".
  1091   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1092   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1093 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1094 
  1095 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1096   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1097     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1098     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1099   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1100     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1101   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1102     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1103     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1104     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1105     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1106     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1107     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1108     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1109   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1110     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1111   - Fact renames:
  1112       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1113       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1114 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1115 
  1116 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1117 
  1118 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1119 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1120 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1121 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1122 
  1123 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1124 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1125 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1126 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1127 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1128 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1129 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1130 lemmas.
  1131 
  1132 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1133 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1134 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1135 
  1136 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1137 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1138 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1139 
  1140 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1141 top and bottom elements.
  1142 
  1143 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1144 
  1145 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1146 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1147 
  1148  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1149    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1150    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1151 
  1152  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1153    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1154    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1155 
  1156    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1157    arbitrary filter.
  1158 
  1159  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1160    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1161    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1162    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1163    on a compact set.
  1164 
  1165  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1166    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1167    linear_continuum_topology).
  1168 
  1169  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1170    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1171    on all sequences converging to x.
  1172 
  1173  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1174    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1175    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1176    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1177    left or right.
  1178 
  1179  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1180 
  1181      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1182 
  1183  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1184    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1185 
  1186  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1187    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1188    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1189    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1190    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1191    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1192 
  1193  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1194 
  1195    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1196 
  1197    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1198      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1199 
  1200    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1201 
  1202    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1203      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1204 
  1205    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1206 
  1207    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1208 
  1209  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1210 
  1211 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1212 
  1213 * Nitpick:
  1214   - Added option "spy".
  1215   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1216 
  1217 * Sledgehammer:
  1218   - Renamed option:
  1219       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1220     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1221   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1222   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1223   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1224 
  1225 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1226 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1227 
  1228 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1229   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1230   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1231     generated code.
  1232   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1233   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1234   - Fact renames:
  1235     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1236     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1237     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1238 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1239 
  1240 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1241 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1242 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1243 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1244 
  1245 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1246 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1247 
  1248 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1249 
  1250 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1251 
  1252     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1253     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1254 
  1255 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1256 
  1257 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1258 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1259 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1260 
  1261 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1262 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1263 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1264 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1265 
  1266 * HOL-BNF:
  1267   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1268     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1269     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1270     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1271   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1272     coinduct).
  1273   - Renamed keywords:
  1274     data ~> datatype_new
  1275     codata ~> codatatype
  1276     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1277   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1278     discs ~> disc
  1279     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1280     map_id' ~> map_id
  1281     sels ~> sel
  1282     set_map' ~> set_map
  1283     sets ~> set
  1284 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1285 
  1286 
  1287 *** ML ***
  1288 
  1289 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1290 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1291 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1292 Examples.thy in particular.
  1293 
  1294 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1295 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1296 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1297 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1298 
  1299 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1300 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1301 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1302 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1303 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1304 
  1305 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1306 
  1307     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1308     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1309 
  1310 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1311 
  1312 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1313 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1314 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1315 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1316 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1317 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1318 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1319 
  1320 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1321 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1322 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1323 clasets separately from the context.
  1324 
  1325 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1326 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1327 
  1328 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1329 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1330 
  1331 
  1332 *** System ***
  1333 
  1334 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1335 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1336 
  1337 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1338 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1339 
  1340 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1341 settings variable.
  1342 
  1343 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1344 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1345 always pdf.
  1346 
  1347 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1348 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1349 
  1350 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1351 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1352 
  1353 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1354 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1355 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1356 
  1357 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1358 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1359 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1360 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1361 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1362 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1363 
  1364 
  1365 
  1366 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1367 -----------------------------------
  1368 
  1369 *** General ***
  1370 
  1371 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1372 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1373 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1374 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1375 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1376 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1377 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1378 
  1379 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1380 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1381 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1382 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1383 
  1384 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1385 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1386 
  1387 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1388 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1389 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1390 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1391 dependencies properly.
  1392 
  1393 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1394 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1395 
  1396 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1397 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1398 
  1399 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1400 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1401 and "class ... context ...".
  1402 
  1403 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1404 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1405 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1406 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1407 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1408 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1409 
  1410 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1411 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1412 
  1413 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1414 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1415 
  1416 
  1417 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1418 
  1419 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1420 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1421 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1422 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1423 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1424 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1425 
  1426 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1427 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1428 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1429 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1430 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1431 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1432 
  1433 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1434 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1435 browser on demand.
  1436 
  1437 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1438 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1439 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1440 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1441 
  1442 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1443 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1444 
  1445 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1446 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1447 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1448 potentially infinite message streams.
  1449 
  1450 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1451 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1452 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1453 schemes.
  1454 
  1455 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1456 symbols.
  1457 
  1458 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1459 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1460 
  1461 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1462 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1463 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1464 
  1465 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1466 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1467 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1468 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1469 
  1470 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1471 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1472 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1473 
  1474 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1475 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1476 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1477 Isabelle distribution.
  1478 
  1479 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1480 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1481 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1482 
  1483 
  1484 *** Pure ***
  1485 
  1486 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1487 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1488 
  1489 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1490 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1491 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1492 
  1493 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1494 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1495 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1496 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1497 with some care where this is really required.
  1498 
  1499 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1500 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1501 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1502 
  1503   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1504 
  1505 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1506 a Hasse diagram.
  1507 
  1508 
  1509 *** HOL ***
  1510 
  1511 * Sledgehammer:
  1512 
  1513   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1514     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1515   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1516   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1517   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1518   - Renamed options:
  1519       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1520       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1521       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1522       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1523 
  1524 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1525 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1526 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1527 
  1528 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1529 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1530 
  1531 * Lifting:
  1532   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1533   - quot_del attribute
  1534   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1535 
  1536 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1537 expressions.
  1538 
  1539 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1540 pointfree expressions.
  1541 
  1542 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1543 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1544 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1545 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1546 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1547 
  1548 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1549 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1550 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1551 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1552 accordingly.
  1553 
  1554 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1555 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1556 
  1557 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1558 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1559 
  1560 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1561 
  1562 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1563 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1564 
  1565 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1566 
  1567 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1568 
  1569   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1570   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1571 
  1572 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1573 
  1574 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1575 
  1576   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1577   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1578 
  1579 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1580 
  1581 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1582 
  1583   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1584     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1585     output f x converges to G.
  1586 
  1587   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1588     infinity (at_bot).
  1589 
  1590   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1591     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1592 
  1593   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1594     at_top".
  1595 
  1596 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1597 
  1598 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1599 lattice type classes.
  1600 
  1601 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1602 
  1603     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1604     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1605 
  1606 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1607 
  1608 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1609 changes as follows.
  1610 
  1611   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1612 
  1613       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1614       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1615 
  1616   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1617     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1618     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1619     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1620 
  1621   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1622     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1623     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1624 
  1625   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1626     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1627     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1628     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1629 
  1630   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1631     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1632 
  1633       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1634       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1635       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1636       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1637       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1638       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1639       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1640       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1641       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1642       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1643       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1644       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1645       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1646       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1647       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1648       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1649 
  1650 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1651 
  1652 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1653 
  1654 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1655 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1656 
  1657 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1658 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1659 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1660 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1661 
  1662   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1663   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1664   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1665   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1666   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1667   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1668   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1669   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1670   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1671   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1672 
  1673 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1674 
  1675 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1676 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1677 Data").
  1678 
  1679 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1680 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1681 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1682 code.
  1683 
  1684 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1685 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1686 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1687 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1688 
  1689 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1690 
  1691 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1692 
  1693 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1694 
  1695   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1696   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1697 
  1698 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1699 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1700 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1701 
  1702   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1703 
  1704     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1705     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1706     cart_base i  removed
  1707     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1708 
  1709   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1710 
  1711   Renamed lemmas:
  1712 
  1713     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1714     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1715     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1716     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1717     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1718     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1719     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1720     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1721     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1722     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1723 
  1724 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1725 
  1726 * HOL/Probability:
  1727 
  1728   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1729 
  1730   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1731     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1732     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1733 
  1734   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1735     projective family).
  1736 
  1737 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1738 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1739 
  1740 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1741 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1742 datatypes.
  1743 
  1744 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1745 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1746 
  1747 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1748 trees for the code generator.
  1749 
  1750 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1751 Lifting/Transfer.
  1752 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1753 
  1754 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1755 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1756 
  1757 
  1758 *** Document preparation ***
  1759 
  1760 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1761 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1762 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1763 
  1764 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1765 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1766 
  1767 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1768 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1769 document/root.tex.
  1770 
  1771 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1772 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1773 
  1774 
  1775 *** ML ***
  1776 
  1777 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1778 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1779 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1780 
  1781 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1782 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1783 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1784 
  1785 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1786 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1787 necessarily printing visible text.
  1788 
  1789 
  1790 *** System ***
  1791 
  1792 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1793 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1794 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1795 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1796 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1797 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1798 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1799 
  1800 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1801 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1802 
  1803   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1804 
  1805 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1806 
  1807 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1808 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1809 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1810 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1811 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1812 
  1813 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1814 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1815 
  1816 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1817 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1818 
  1819 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1820 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1821 
  1822 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1823 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1824 version of Isabelle.
  1825 
  1826 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1827 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1828 
  1829 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1830 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1831 for home-made settings.
  1832 
  1833 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1834 
  1835 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1836 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1837 configuration.
  1838 
  1839 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1840 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1841 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1842 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1843 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1844 
  1845 
  1846 
  1847 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1848 ------------------------------
  1849 
  1850 *** General ***
  1851 
  1852 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1853 
  1854   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1855     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1856   - markup for bound variables
  1857   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1858   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1859   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1860     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1861 
  1862 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1863 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1864 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1865 
  1866 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1867 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1868 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1869 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1870 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1871 
  1872   context
  1873     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1874     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1875   begin
  1876 
  1877   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1878 
  1879   end
  1880 
  1881   thm my_trans
  1882 
  1883 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1884 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1885 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1886 
  1887 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1888 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1889 
  1890 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1891 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1892 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1893 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1894 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1895 
  1896 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1897 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1898 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1899 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1900 indices of schematic variables.
  1901 
  1902 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1903 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1904 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1905 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1906 etc. was exploited.
  1907 
  1908 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1909 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1910 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1911 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1912 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1913 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1914 
  1915 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1916 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1917 manual.
  1918 
  1919 
  1920 *** Pure ***
  1921 
  1922 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1923 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1924 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1925 
  1926 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1927 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1928 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1929 undocumented feature.)
  1930 
  1931 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1932 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1933 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1934 
  1935   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1936 
  1937   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1938     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1939 
  1940 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1941 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1942 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1943 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1944 
  1945 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1946 
  1947     num ~> num_token
  1948     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1949     xstr ~> str_token
  1950 
  1951 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1952 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1953 position information via constraints).
  1954 
  1955 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1956 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1957 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1958 
  1959 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1960 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1961 
  1962 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1963 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1964 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1965 
  1966 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1967 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1968 
  1969 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1970 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1971 
  1972   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1973 
  1974 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1975 
  1976 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1977 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1978 
  1979 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1980 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1981 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1982 
  1983 
  1984 *** HOL ***
  1985 
  1986 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1987 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1988 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1989 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1990 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1991 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1992 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1993 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1994 possible.
  1995 
  1996 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1997 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1998 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1999 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2000 
  2001 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2002 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2003 
  2004 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2005 
  2006 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2007 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2008 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2009 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2010 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2011 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2012 
  2013   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2014     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2015 
  2016   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2017     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2018     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2019 
  2020   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2021     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2022 
  2023   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2024     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2025     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2026 
  2027   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2028     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2029 
  2030 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2031 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2032 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2033 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2034 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2035 
  2036   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2037     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2038     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2039     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2040     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2041 
  2042     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2043     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2044 
  2045   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2046     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2047     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2048     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2049     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2050     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2051     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2052     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2053 
  2054   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2055     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2056     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2057     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2058 
  2059   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2060     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2061     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2062     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2063 
  2064   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2065     from type nat to type int.
  2066 
  2067 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2068 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2069 
  2070   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2071     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2072     type.  Example syntax:
  2073 
  2074     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2075       is List.insert
  2076 
  2077     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2078     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2079     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2080     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2081     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2082     by the package.
  2083 
  2084   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2085     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2086     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2087     code generation for each constant.
  2088 
  2089   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2090     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2091     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2092     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2093     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2094 
  2095   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2096     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2097     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2098 
  2099 * Quotient package:
  2100 
  2101   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2102     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2103 
  2104   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2105     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2106 
  2107   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2108     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2109     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2110 
  2111   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2112     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2113 
  2114 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2115 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2116 
  2117 * Quickcheck:
  2118 
  2119   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2120     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2121     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2122     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2123     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2124 
  2125     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2126     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2127     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2128 
  2129     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2130     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2131 
  2132     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2133     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2134     show genuine counterexamples.
  2135 
  2136   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2137     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2138 
  2139     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2140     constructors of that type.
  2141 
  2142   - Support for multisets.
  2143 
  2144   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2145 
  2146   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2147     conjectures in a locale context.
  2148 
  2149 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2150 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2151 
  2152 * Sledgehammer:
  2153   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2154     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2155   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2156   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2157     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2158   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2159   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2160   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2161   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2162 
  2163 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2164 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2165 
  2166 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2167 
  2168 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2169 
  2170 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2171 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2172 
  2173   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2174 
  2175 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2176 a list and a nat.
  2177 
  2178 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2179 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2180 
  2181 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2182 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2183 default.
  2184 
  2185 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2186 
  2187   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2188 
  2189 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2190 
  2191 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2192 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2193 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2194 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2195 one_case.
  2196 
  2197 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2198 the result of the fact expression.
  2199 
  2200 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2201 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2202 of some relation theorems:
  2203 
  2204   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2205   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2206   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2207   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2208   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2209   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2210 
  2211 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2212 
  2213 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2214 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2215 
  2216 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2217 
  2218 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2219 to match the constant's name:
  2220 
  2221   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2222   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2223   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I

  2245 
  2246 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2247 
  2248 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2249 and corresponding theorem names:
  2250 
  2251   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2252 
  2253   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2254 
  2255   - Renamed theorems:

  2314 
  2315 * Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2316

  2531 * Theory HOL/Library/Float: Floating point numbers are now defined as
  2532 a subset of the real numbers.  All operations are defined using the
  2533 lifing-framework and proofs use the transfer method.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2534 
  2535   Changed Operations:
  2536   float_abs -> abs
  2537   float_nprt -> nprt
  2538   float_pprt -> pprt
  2539   pow2 -> use powr

  2541   round_up -> float_round_up

  2543 
  2544   Removed Operations:
  2545   ceiling_fl, lb_mult, lb_mod, ub_mult, ub_mod
  2546 
  2547   Renamed Lemmas:

  2595 
  2596 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  2597 association lists with distinct keys.
  2598 
  2599 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  2600 annotated commands.
  2601 
  2602 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2603 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  2604 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  2605 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2606 
  2607 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  2608 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  2609 instead.

  2653 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2654 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2655 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2656 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2657 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2658 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2659 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2660 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2661 
  2662 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2663 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2664 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2665 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2666 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2667 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2668 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2669 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2670 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2671 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2672 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2673 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2674 
  2675   Renamed constants:

  2679   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  2695 
  2696   Removed constants:

  2698   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  2699   image_space
  2700   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  2835 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2836 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2837 
  2838 
  2839 *** FOL ***
  2840 
  2841 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2842 
  2843 
  2844 *** ZF ***
  2845 
  2846 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2847 analysis.
  2848 
  2849 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2850 
  2851 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2852 
  2853 
  2854 *** ML ***
  2855 
  2856 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2857 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2858 
  2859 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2860 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2861 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2862 
  2863 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2864 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2865 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2866 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2867 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2868 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2869 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2870 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2871 
  2872 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2873 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2874 
  2875 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2876 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2877 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2878 
  2879 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2880 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2882 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2883 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2884 context as well.
  2885 
  2886 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2887 
  2888   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2889   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  2890   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  2891   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  2892   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  2893   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  2894   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  2895   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  2896   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  2897   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  2898   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  2899   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  2900 
  2901 
  2902 *** System ***
  2903 
  2904 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2905 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2906 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2907 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2908 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2909 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2910 the generic user home was intended.
  2911 
  2912 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2913 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2914 
  2915 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2916 (not just JRE).
  2917 
  2918 
  2919 
  2920 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2921 ------------------------------------
  2922 
  2923 *** General ***
  2924 
  2925 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2926 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2927 
  2928   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2929     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2930     files for checking).
  2931 
  2932   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2933     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2934     positions.
  2935 
  2936   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2937     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2938     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2939 
  2940   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2941     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2942     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2943 
  2944   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2945     cores.
  2946 
  2947   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2948     versions (garbage collection).
  2949 
  2950 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2951 including some remaining limitations.
  2952 
  2953 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2954 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2955 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2956 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2957 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2958 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2959 
  2960 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2961 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2962 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2963 
  2964 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2965 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2966 usedir option -Q.
  2967 
  2968 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2969 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2970 
  2971   long_names   ~> names_long
  2972   short_names  ~> names_short
  2973   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2974 
  2975 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2976 
  2977   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2978 
  2979 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2980 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2981 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2982 
  2983 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2984 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2985 
  2986 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2987   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2988   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2989   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2990     "Classical Reasoner".
  2991 
  2992 
  2993 *** HOL ***
  2994 
  2995 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2996 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2997 
  2998 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2999 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3000 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3001 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3002 class complete_linorder.
  3003 
  3004 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3005 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3006 
  3007 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3008 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3009 
  3010   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3011   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3012   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3013   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3014   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3015   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3016   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3017   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3018   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3019   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3020   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3021 
  3022 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3023 
  3024   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3025   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3026   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  3027   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  3028   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  3029   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  3030   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  3031   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  3032   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  3033   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  3034   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  3035   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  3036   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  3037   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3038   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3039   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3040 
  3041 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3042 
  3043 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3044 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3045 
  3046 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3047 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3048 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3049 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3050 
  3051 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3052 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3053 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3054 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3055 
  3056 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3057 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3058 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3059 
  3060 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3061 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3062 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3063 
  3064 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3065 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3066 
  3067 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3068 
  3069     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3070     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3071 
  3072 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3073 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3074 
  3075 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3076 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3077 
  3078 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3079 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3080 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3081 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3176 
  3177 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3178 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3179 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3180 
  3181 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3182 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3183 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3184 
  3185 * Code generation:
  3186 
  3187   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3188     characters in the target language.
  3189 
  3190   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3191     instead.
  3192 
  3193   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3194 
  3195   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3196     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3197 
  3198       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3199 
  3200 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3201 
  3202 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3203 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3204 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3205 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3206 syntax.
  3207 
  3208 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3209 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3210 
  3211 * Nitpick:
  3212   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3213   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3214   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3215     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3216 
  3217 * Sledgehammer:
  3218   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3219   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3220     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3221   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3222     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3223   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3224     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3225   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3226     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3227   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3228     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3229 
  3230 * Metis:
  3231   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3232   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3233     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3234 
  3235 * Command 'try':
  3236   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3237     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3238   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3239     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3240 
  3241 * Quickcheck:
  3242   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3243     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3244   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3245     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3246   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3247     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3248     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3249     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3250   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3251     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3252 
  3253 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3254 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3255 
  3256 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3257 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3258 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3259 
  3260 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3261 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3262 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3263 
  3264 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3265 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3266 
  3267 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3268 arithmetic.
  3269 
  3270 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3271 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3272 and lattice type classes.
  3273 
  3274 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3275 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3276 
  3277 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3278 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3279 
  3280 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3281 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3282 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3283 
  3284   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3285   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3286   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3287   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3288 
  3289 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3290 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3291 constants:
  3292 
  3293   type inat   ~> type enat
  3294   Fin         ~> enat

  3298 
  3299 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3300 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3301 
  3302 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3303 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3304 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3305 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3306 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3307 
  3308 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3309 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3310 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3311 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3312 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3313 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3314 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3315 
  3316   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3317   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le

  3319   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3320 
  3321 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3322 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3323 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3378   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3379   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3380   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3381   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended

  3413 *** Document preparation ***
  3414 
  3415 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3416 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3417 same.
  3418 
  3419 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3420 result.
  3421 
  3422 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3423 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3424 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3425 
  3426 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3427 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3428 
  3429 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3430 like this:
  3431 
  3432   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3433   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3434 
  3435 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3436 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3437 layouts.
  3438 
  3439 
  3440 *** ML ***
  3441 
  3442 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3443 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3444 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3445 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3446 under external program control.
  3447 
  3448 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3449 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3450 
  3451 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3452 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3453 (better known as Proof General).
  3454 
  3455 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3456 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3457 
  3458 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3459 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3460 
  3461 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3462 (including quotes etc.).
  3463 
  3464 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3465 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3466 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3467 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3468 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3469 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3470 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3471 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3472 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3473 
  3474 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3475 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3476 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3477 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3478 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3479 
  3480 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3481 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3482 
  3483 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3484 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3485 
  3486 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3487 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3488 
  3489 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3490 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3491 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3492 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3493 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3494 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3495 proper Proof.context.
  3496 
  3497 
  3498 *** System ***
  3499 
  3500 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3501 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3502 
  3503 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3504 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3505 
  3506 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3507 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3508 
  3509   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3510   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3511   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3512   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3513   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3514 
  3515 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3516 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3517 
  3518 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3519 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3520 example:
  3521 
  3522   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3523 
  3524 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3525 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3526 
  3527 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3528 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3529 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3530 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3531 
  3532 
  3533 
  3534 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3535 ----------------------------------
  3536 
  3537 *** General ***
  3538 
  3539 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3540 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3541 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3542 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3543 like this:
  3544 
  3545   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3546 
  3547 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3548 
  3549 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3550 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3551 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3552 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3553 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3554 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3555 
  3556 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3557 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3558 the following package declarations:
  3559 
  3560   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3561   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3562 
  3563 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3564 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3565 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3566 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3567 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3568 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3569 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3570 
  3571 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3572 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3573 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3574 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3575 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3576 
  3577 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3578 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3579 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3580 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3581 
  3582 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3583 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3584 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3585 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3586

  3611 
  3612 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3613 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3614 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3615 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3616 
  3617 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3618 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3619 
  3620   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3621   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3622 
  3623 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3624 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3625 float_token.
  3626 
  3627 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3628 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3629 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3630 
  3631 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3632 DejaVu Sans.
  3633 
  3634 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3635 
  3636 
  3637 *** Pure ***
  3638 
  3639 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3640 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3641 time.
  3642 
  3643 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3644 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3645 
  3646 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3647 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3648 
  3649 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3650 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3651 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3652 command already provided this functionality.
  3653 
  3654 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3655 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3656 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3657 without interpretations.
  3658 
  3659 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3660 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3661 
  3662 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3663 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3664 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3665 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3666 
  3667 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3668 'definition' instead.
  3669 
  3670 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3671 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3672 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3673 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3674 
  3675 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3676 constructors.
  3677 
  3678 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3679 the local file system.
  3680 
  3681 
  3682 *** HOL ***
  3683 
  3684 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3685 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3686 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3687 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3688 
  3689   declare [[coercion f]]
  3690 
  3691 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3692 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3693 
  3694   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3695 
  3696 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3697 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3698 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3699 other theories like this:
  3700 
  3701   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3702 
  3703 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3704 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3705 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3706 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3707 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3708 for examples.
  3709 
  3710 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3711 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3712 
  3713 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3714 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3715 
  3716 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3717 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3718 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3719 
  3720 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3721 functorial structure of types.
  3722 
  3723 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3724 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3725 
  3726 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3727 languages.
  3728 
  3729 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3730 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3731 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3732 
  3733 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3734 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3735 
  3736 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3737 combinators any longer.
  3738 
  3739 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3740 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3741 
  3742 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3743 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3744 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3745 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3746 
  3747   record 'a foo = ...
  3748   ...
  3749   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3750 
  3751 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3752 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3753 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3754 
  3755 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3756 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3757 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3758 
  3759 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3760 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3761 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3762 
  3763 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3764 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3765 
  3766 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3767 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3768 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3769 independently.
  3770 
  3771 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3772 counter example search.
  3773 
  3774 * Sledgehammer:
  3775   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3776     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3777     sledgehammer").
  3778   - Renamed commands:
  3779     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3780     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3781     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3782     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3783   - Renamed options:
  3784     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3785     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3786     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3787     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3788     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3789 
  3790 * Nitpick:
  3791   - Renamed options:
  3792     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3793     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3794     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3795   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3796   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3797   - Added "whack" option.
  3798   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3799   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3800   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3801   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3802     higher cardinalities.
  3803   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3804 
  3805 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3806 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3807 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3808 
  3809     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3810 
  3811 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3812 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3813 
  3814 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3815 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3816 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3817 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3818 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3819 "smt_solver".
  3820 
  3821 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3822 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3823 
  3824 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3825 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3826 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3827 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3828 
  3829 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3830   - Renamed:
  3831     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3832     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3833     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3834   - Added:
  3835     smt_verbose
  3836     smt_random_seed
  3837     smt_datatypes
  3838     smt_infer_triggers
  3839     smt_monomorph_limit
  3840     cvc3_options
  3841     remote_cvc3_options
  3842     remote_z3_options
  3843     yices_options
  3844 
  3845 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3846 header.
  3847 
  3848 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3849 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3850 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3851 
  3852   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3853 
  3854 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3855 
  3856 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3857 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3858 
  3859 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3860 
  3861 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3862 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3863 
  3864 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3865 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3866 
  3867 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3868 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3869 
  3870 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3871 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3872 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3873 
  3874 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3875 
  3876 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3877 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3878 
  3879 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3880 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3881 
  3882 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3883 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3884 for congruent(2)).
  3885 
  3886 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3887 
  3888   types
  3889     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3890     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3891 
  3892   constants
  3893     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3894     True ~> HOL.True
  3895     False ~> HOL.False
  3896     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3897     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3898     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3899     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3900     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3901     The ~> HOL.The
  3902     All ~> HOL.All
  3903     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  3904     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  3905     Let ~> HOL.Let
  3906     If ~> HOL.If
  3907     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  3908     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  3909     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  3910     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3911     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3912     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3913     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3914     op : ~> Set.member
  3915     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3916 
  3917 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3918 
  3919 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3920 
  3921     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3922     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3923     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3924     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3925     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3926     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3927     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3928     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3929 
  3930 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3931 
  3932 * More stylized fact names:
  3933 
  3934   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3935   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3936   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3937   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3938 
  3939 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3940 
  3941 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3942 
  3943   constants
  3944     null ~> List.null
  3945 
  3946   facts
  3947     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3948     null_empty ~> null_def
  3949 
  3950 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3951 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3952 generation.
  3953 
  3954 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3955 Haskell code.
  3956 
  3957 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3958 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3959 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3960 
  3961 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3962 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3963 
  3964 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3965 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3966 
  3967 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3968 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3969 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3970 
  3971 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3972 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3973 
  3974 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3975 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3976 
  3977 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3978 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3979 referred to by its qualified name.
  3980 
  3981   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3982   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3983   product ~>  Enum.product
  3984 
  3985 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3986 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3987 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3988 
  3989 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3990 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3991 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3992 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3993 
  3994 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3995 sort_key.
  3996 
  3997 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3998 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3999 
  4000 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4001 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4002 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4003 
  4004   types
  4005     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4006               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4007               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4008         (depends on your needs)
  4009 
  4010   constants
  4011      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4012      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4013      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4014 
  4015 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4016 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4017 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4018 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4019 
  4020 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4021 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4022 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4023 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4024 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4025 
  4026 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4027 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4028 
  4029 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4030 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4031 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4032 
  4033 
  4034 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4035 
  4036 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4037 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4038 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4039 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4040 compatibility.
  4041 
  4042 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4043 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4044 
  4045 
  4046 *** HOLCF ***
  4047 
  4048 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4049 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4050 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4051 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4052 
  4053 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4054 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4055 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4056 
  4057   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4058   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4059   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4060 
  4061 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4062 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4063 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4064 
  4065 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4066 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4067 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4068 domain definition now works:
  4069 
  4070   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4071 
  4072 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4073 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4074 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4075 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4076 
  4077   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4078     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4079 
  4080   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4081 
  4082 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4083 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4084 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4085 
  4086 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4087 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4088 
  4089 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4090 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4091 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4092 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4093 
  4094 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4095 
  4096 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4097 
  4098 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4099 
  4100 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4101 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4102 
  4103 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4104 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4105 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4106 
  4107 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4108 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4109 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4110 
  4111 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4112 still supported as an input translation.
  4113 
  4114 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4115 
  4116   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4117   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4118   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4119   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4120   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4121   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4122   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4123 
  4124 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4125 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4126 
  4127   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4128   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4129   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4130   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4131   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4132   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4133 
  4134 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4135 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4136 
  4137 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4138 
  4139   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4140   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4141   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4142   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4143 
  4144 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4145 
  4146 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4147 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4148 
  4149 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4150 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4222 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4223 
  4224 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4225 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4226 
  4227 
  4228 *** ML ***
  4229 
  4230 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4231 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4232 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4233 
  4234 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4235 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4236 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4237 
  4238 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4239 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4240 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4241 
  4242 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4243 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4244 
  4245 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4246 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4247 
  4248 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4249 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4250 
  4251 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4252 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4253 
  4254 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4255 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4256 almost all situations.
  4257 
  4258 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4259 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4260 Isabelle/ML.
  4261 
  4262 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4263 meaning.
  4264 
  4265 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4266 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4267 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4268 
  4269 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4270 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4271 
  4272 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4273 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4274 
  4275 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4276 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4277 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4278 
  4279 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4280 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4281 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4282 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4283 configuration options.
  4284 
  4285 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4286 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4287 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4288 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4289 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4290 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4291 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  4292 
  4293 
  4294 
  4295 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4296 ---------------------------------
  4297 
  4298 *** General ***
  4299 
  4300 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4301 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4302 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4303 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4304 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4305 their full internal name.
  4306 
  4307 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4308 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4309 Some hints on upgrading:
  4310 
  4311   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4312     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4313     which are independent of this issue.
  4314 
  4315   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4316     provides the following special forms:
  4317 
  4318       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4319       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4320       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4321 
  4322     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4323     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4324     extra variables".
  4325 
  4326     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4327     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4328     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4329     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4330     "logic".
  4331 
  4332   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4333     antiquotations:
  4334 
  4335       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4336       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4337       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4338       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4339 
  4340   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4341     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4342     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4343     antiquotations.
  4344 
  4345 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4346 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4347 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4348 diagnose syntax problems.
  4349 
  4350 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4351 
  4352 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4353 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4354 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4355 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4356 
  4357 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4358 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4359 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4360 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4361 
  4362 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4363 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4364 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4365 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4366 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4367 
  4368 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4369 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4370 
  4371 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4372 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4373 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4374 
  4375   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4376 
  4377 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4378 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4379 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4380 
  4381 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4382 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4383 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4384 
  4385 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4386 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4387 
  4388 
  4389 *** Pure ***
  4390 
  4391 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4392 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4393 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4394 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4395 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4396 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4397 inspect proof terms.
  4398 
  4399 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4400 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4401 are added internally.  For example:
  4402 
  4403   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4404 
  4405 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4406 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4407 
  4408 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4409 
  4410 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4411 'class' instead.
  4412 
  4413 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4414 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4415 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4416 
  4417 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4418 invariants.
  4419 
  4420 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4421 user space functionality any longer.
  4422 
  4423 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4424 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4425 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4426 
  4427 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4428 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4429 
  4430 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4431 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4432 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4433 
  4434 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4435 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4436 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4437 
  4438 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4439 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4440 
  4441 
  4442 *** HOL ***
  4443 
  4444 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4445 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4446 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4447 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4448 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4449 
  4450 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4451 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4452 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4453 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4454 
  4455   fun
  4456     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4457   where
  4458     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4459 
  4460   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4461     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4462 
  4463   quotient_definition
  4464     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4465 
  4466 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4467 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4468 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4469 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4470 
  4471 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4472 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4473 
  4474 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4475 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4476 
  4477 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4478 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4479 
  4480 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4481 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4482 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4483 
  4484 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4485 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4486 
  4487 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4488 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4489 
  4490 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4491 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4492 
  4493 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4494 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4495 
  4496 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4497 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4498 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4531 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4532 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4533 
  4534 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4535 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4536 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4537 
  4538 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4539 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4540 
  4541 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4542 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4543 
  4544 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4545 
  4546 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4547 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4548 
  4549 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4550 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4551 
  4552 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4553 
  4554 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4555 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4556 
  4557 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4558 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4559 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4560 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4561 
  4562 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4563   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4564   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4565   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4566 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4567 
  4568 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4569 lattices):
  4570 
  4571     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4608 
  4609   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4610   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4611 
  4612     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4613     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4614     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4615     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4616     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4617 
  4618 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4619 
  4620 * Refined field classes:
  4621   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4622     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4623     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4624   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4625 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4626 
  4627 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4628   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4629   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4630   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4631     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4632   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4633     equal_neg_zero.
  4634 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4635 
  4636 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4637 sets to lattices:
  4638 
  4639   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4640   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4641   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  4642   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  4643   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  4644   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  4645   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  4646   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  4647   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4648   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4649 
  4650 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4651 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4652 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4653 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4654 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4655 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4656 
  4657 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4658 multiset order:
  4659 
  4660   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4661     <= and <;
  4662   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4663     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4664     multiset_order;
  4665   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4666     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4667     generation;
  4668   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4669     if needed.
  4670 
  4671 Renamed:
  4672 
  4673   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4674   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4675   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4676 
  4677 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4678 
  4679 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4680 
  4681 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4682 
  4683 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4684 
  4685 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4686 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4687 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4717   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4718 
  4719 * Sledgehammer:
  4720   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4721     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4722     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4723     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4724     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4725     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4726     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4727   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4728   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4729     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4730   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4731     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4732     is still experimental.)
  4733   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4734     full-typed mode.
  4735   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4736 
  4737 * Nitpick:
  4738   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4739   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4740   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4741     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4742   - Added support for quotient types.
  4743   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4744     constructs.
  4745   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4746     "termination" proofs).
  4747   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4748   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4749   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4750   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4751     record getters.
  4752   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4753   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4754   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4755   - Added "atoms" option.
  4756   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4757     problems.
  4758   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4759     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4760     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4761   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4762     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4763   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4764 
  4765 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4766   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4767   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4768   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4769   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4770   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4771   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4772   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4773   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4774   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4775 
  4776 
  4777 *** HOLCF ***
  4778 
  4779 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4780 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4781 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4782 
  4783 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4784 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4785 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4786 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4787 
  4788 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4789 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4790 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4791 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4792 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4793 
  4794 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4795 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4796 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4797 
  4798 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4799 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4800 
  4801   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4802   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4803 
  4804 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4805 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4806 
  4807   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4808   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4809   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4810   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4811   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4812 
  4813 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4814 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4815 
  4816   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4817   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4818   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4819 
  4820 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4821 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4822 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4823 
  4824 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4825 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4826 
  4827 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4828 
  4829 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4830 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4831 
  4832 
  4833 *** ML ***
  4834 
  4835 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4836 
  4837     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4838     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4839 
  4840     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4841     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4842     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4843     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4844 
  4845     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4846     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4847     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4848 
  4849 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4850 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4851 
  4852 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4853 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4854 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4855 
  4856 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4857 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4858 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4859 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4860 
  4861 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4862 the context or even global references.
  4863 
  4864 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4865 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4866 
  4867 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4868 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4869 
  4870   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4871   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4872   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4873   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4874   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4875   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4876   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4877   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4878   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4879   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4880 
  4881 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4882 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4883 
  4884 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4885 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4886 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4887 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4888 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4889 
  4890 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4891 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4892 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4893 Theory_Data version.
  4894 
  4895 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4896 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4897 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4898 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4899 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4900 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4901 explicitly in rare situations.
  4902 
  4903 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4904 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4905 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4906 
  4907 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4908 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4909 
  4910 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4911 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4912 quite rare).
  4913 
  4914 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4915 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4916 
  4917 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4918 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4919 terms.
  4920 
  4921 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4922 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4923 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4924 
  4925 
  4926 *** System ***
  4927 
  4928 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4929 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4930 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4931 
  4932 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4933 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4934 respectively.
  4935 
  4936 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4937 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4938 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4939 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4940 
  4941   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4942 
  4943 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4944 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4945 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4946 component.
  4947 
  4948 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4949 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4950 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4951 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4952 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4953 the user for manual installation.
  4954 
  4955 
  4956 
  4957 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4958 -------------------------------------
  4959 
  4960 *** General ***
  4961 
  4962 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4963 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4964 
  4965 
  4966 *** Pure ***
  4967 
  4968 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4969 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4970 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4971 
  4972 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4973 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4974 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4975 
  4976 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4977 interpretation.
  4978 
  4979 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4980 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4981 
  4982 
  4983 *** Document preparation ***
  4984 
  4985 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4986 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4987 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4988 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4989 
  4990 
  4991 *** HOL ***
  4992 
  4993 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4994 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4995 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4996 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4997 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4998 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4999 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5000 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5001 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5002 
  5003 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5004 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5005 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5006 
  5007 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5008 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5009 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5010 
  5011 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5012 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5013 
  5014 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5015 
  5016 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5017 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5018 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5019 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5020 
  5021 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5022 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5023 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5024 "mirabelle" utility.
  5025 
  5026 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5027 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5028 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5029 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5030 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5031 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5032 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5033 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5034 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5035 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5036 
  5037 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5038 procedure only.
  5039 
  5040 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5041 
  5042 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5043 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5044 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5045 that fail later.
  5046 
  5047 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5048 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5049 
  5050 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5051 the same method as the approximation method.
  5052 
  5053 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5054 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5055 series expansion.
  5056 
  5057 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5058 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5059 
  5060 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5061 reals.
  5062 
  5063 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5064 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5065 
  5066 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5067 fixpoint theorem.
  5068 
  5069 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5070   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5071     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5072   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5073     accordingly
  5074   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5075     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5076   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5077     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5078 
  5079 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5080 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5081 lattice.
  5082 
  5083 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5084 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5085 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5086 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5087 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5088 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5089 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5090 
  5091 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5092   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5093     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5094   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5095     le_inf_iff
  5096   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5097     sup_aci)
  5098   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5099   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5100   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5101     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5102     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5103     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5104     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5105     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5106     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5107     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5108     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5109     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5110     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5111   - authentic syntax for
  5112     Set.Pow
  5113     Set.image
  5114   - mere abbreviations:
  5115     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5116     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5117     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5118     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5119     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5120     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5121     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5122     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5123   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5124 
  5125 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5126 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5127 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5128 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5129 
  5130 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5131 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5132 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5133 
  5134 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5135 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5136 
  5137 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5138 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5139 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5140 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5141 
  5142 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5143 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5144 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5145 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5146 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5147 
  5148 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5149 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5150 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5151 
  5152 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5153 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5154 
  5155 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5156 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5157 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5158 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5159 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5160 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5161 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5162 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5163 
  5164 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5165     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5166     code_post       replaces    code post
  5167     etc.
  5168   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5169 
  5170 * Renamed methods:
  5171     sizechange -> size_change
  5172     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5173   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5174 
  5175 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5176 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5177 
  5178 * Renamed theorems:
  5179     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5180     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5181     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5182     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5183     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5184   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5185 
  5186 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5187 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5188 
  5189 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5190 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5191 
  5192 
  5193 *** HOLCF ***
  5194 
  5195 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5196 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5197 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5198 
  5199 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5200 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5201 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5202 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5203 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5204 
  5205 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5206 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5207 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5208 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5209 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5210 
  5211 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5212 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5213 constructor are pre-configured.
  5214 
  5215 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5216 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5217 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5218 
  5219 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5220 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5221 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5222 as well.)
  5223 
  5224 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5225 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5226 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5227 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5228 examples.
  5229 
  5230 
  5231 *** ML ***
  5232 
  5233 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5234 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5235 
  5236 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5237 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5238 position, logical grouping etc.
  5239 
  5240 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5241 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5242 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5243 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5244 
  5245 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5246 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5247 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5248 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5249 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5250 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5251 
  5252 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5253 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5254 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5255 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5256 experiments with references.
  5257 
  5258 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5259 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5260 
  5261 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5262 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5263 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5264 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5265 
  5266 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5267 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5268 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5269 
  5270 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5271 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5272 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5273 
  5274 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5275 
  5276 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5277 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5278 
  5279 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5280 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5281 
  5282 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5283 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5284 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5285 
  5286 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5287 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5288 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5289 
  5290 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5291 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5292 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5293 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5294 
  5295 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5296 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5297 instead of global theory.
  5298 
  5299 
  5300 *** System ***
  5301 
  5302 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5303 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5304 usedir option -q.
  5305 
  5306 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5307 also the system manual.
  5308 
  5309 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5310 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5311 
  5312 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5313 this is always enabled.
  5314 
  5315 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5316 
  5317 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5318 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5319 currently supported on Linux only.
  5320 
  5321 
  5322 
  5323 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5324 --------------------------------
  5325 
  5326 *** General ***
  5327 
  5328 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5329 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5330 
  5331   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5332     "isatool."
  5333 
  5334   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5335     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5336 
  5337   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5338     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5339 
  5340 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5341 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5342 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5343 
  5344 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5345 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5346 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5347 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5348 via "isabelle emacs".
  5349 
  5350 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5351 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5352 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5353 
  5354 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5355 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5356 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5357 
  5358 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5359 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5360 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5361 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5362 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5363 
  5364 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5365 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5366 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5367 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5368 
  5369 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5370 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5371 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5372 
  5373 
  5374 *** Pure ***
  5375 
  5376 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5377 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5378 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5379 
  5380 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5381 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5382 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5383 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5384 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5385 
  5386 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5387 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5388 useful in locale declarations.
  5389 
  5390 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5391 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5392 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5393 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5394 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5395 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5396 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5397 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5398 no longer generated.
  5399 
  5400 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5401 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5402 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5403 
  5404 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5405 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5406 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5407 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5408 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5409 
  5410 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5411 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5412 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5413 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5414 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5415 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5416 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5417 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5418 
  5419 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5420 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5421 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5422 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5423 
  5424 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5425 
  5426 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5427 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5428 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5429 
  5430 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5431 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5432 
  5433 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5434 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5435 in HOL, write
  5436 
  5437     class foo = ...
  5438 
  5439 instead of
  5440 
  5441     class foo = type + ...
  5442 
  5443 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5444 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5445 
  5446 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5447 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5448 
  5449 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5450 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5451 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5452 
  5453 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5454 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5455 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5456 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5457 directly in regular applications.
  5458 
  5459 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5460 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5461 
  5462 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5463 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5464 
  5465 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5466 theory context.
  5467 
  5468 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5469 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5470 
  5471 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5472 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5473 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5474 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5475 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5476 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5477 
  5478   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5479 
  5480 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5481 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5482 normalization.
  5483 
  5484 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5485 addressing etc.
  5486 
  5487 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5488 
  5489   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5490   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5491 
  5492 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5493 
  5494   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5495      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5496      parts of the code generator framework).
  5497 
  5498   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5499      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5500      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5501 
  5502 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5503 
  5504 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5505 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5506 
  5507 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5508 patterns, e.g.
  5509 
  5510     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5511 
  5512 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5513 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5514 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5515 hyphen:
  5516 
  5517     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5518 
  5519 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5520 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5521 
  5522 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5523 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5524 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5525 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5526 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5527 higher-order unification.
  5528 
  5529 
  5530 *** Document preparation ***
  5531 
  5532 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5533 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5534 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5535 
  5536 
  5537 *** HOL ***
  5538 
  5539 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5540 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5541 
  5542 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5543 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5544 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5545 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5546 Main, as before.
  5547 
  5548 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5549 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5550 
  5551 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5552 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5553 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5554 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5555 
  5556 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5557 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5558 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5559 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5560 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5561 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5562 
  5563 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5564 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5565 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5566 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5567 
  5568 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5569 menu.
  5570 
  5571 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5572 (contains the empty clause).
  5573 
  5574 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5575 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5576 
  5577 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5578 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5579 
  5580 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5581 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5582 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5583 
  5584 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5585 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5586 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5587 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5588 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5589 
  5590 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5591 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5592 
  5593 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5594 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5595 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5596 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5597 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5598 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5599 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5600 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5601 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5602 
  5603 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5604 
  5605 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5606 
  5607 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5608 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5609 
  5610 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5611 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5612 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5613 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5614 
  5615 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5616 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5617 
  5618     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5619     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5620     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5621     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5622     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5623     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5624     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5625     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5626 
  5627 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5628 theory Set.
  5629 
  5630 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5631 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5632 
  5633 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5634 
  5635 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5636 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5637 
  5638 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5639 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5640 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5641 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5642 allowed. For examples see
  5643 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5644 
  5645 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5646 
  5647 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5648 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5649 
  5650 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5651 structure:

  5704 
  5705 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5706 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5707 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5708 
  5709 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5710 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5711 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5712 
  5713 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5714 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5715 
  5716 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5717 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5718 
  5719 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5720 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5721 proofs, e.g.
  5722 
  5723   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5724 
  5725 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5726 
  5727 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5728 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5729 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5730 
  5731 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5732 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5733 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5734 
  5735 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5736 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5737 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5738 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5739 
  5740 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5741 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5742 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5743 preorder_class.*.
  5744 
  5745 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5746 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5747 
  5748 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5749 
  5750   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5751 
  5752 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5753 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5754 fold_image.
  5755 
  5756 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5757 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5758 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5759 the former will disappear at some point.
  5760 
  5761 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5762 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5763 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5764 
  5765 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5766 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5767 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5768 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5769 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5770 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5771 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5772 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5773 
  5774 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5775 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5776 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5777 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5778 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5779 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5780 
  5781     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  5782     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  5783     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  5784     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  5785     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  5786     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  5787     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5788 
  5789 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5790 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5791 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5792 
  5793 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5794 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  5795 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  5796 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  5797 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  5798 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  5799 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  5800 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  5801 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  5802 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  5803 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1

  5838 
  5839 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5840 
  5841 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5842 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5843 
  5844 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5845 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5846 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5847 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5848 
  5849 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5850 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5851 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5852 theory RealVector.
  5853 
  5854 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5855 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5856 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5857 and inner products are included.
  5858 
  5859 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5860 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5861 supported.
  5862 
  5863 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5864 first diagonalization argument.
  5865 
  5866 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5867 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5868 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5869 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5870 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5871 
  5872     hide (open) const gcd
  5873     abbreviation gcd where
  5874       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5875     notation (output)
  5876       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5877 
  5878 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5879 
  5880 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5881 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5882 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5883 
  5884 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5885 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5886 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5887 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5888 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5889 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5890 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5891 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5892 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5893 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5894 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5895 cases.
  5896 
  5897 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5898 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5899 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5900 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5901 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5902 
  5903     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5904     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5905     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5906     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5907     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5908 
  5909 
  5910 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5911 
  5912 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5913 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5914 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5915 
  5916 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5917 
  5918 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5919 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5920 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5921 
  5922 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5923 
  5924 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5925 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5926 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5927 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5928 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5929 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5930 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5931 
  5932 
  5933 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5934 
  5935 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5936 
  5937 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5938 theory targets.
  5939 
  5940 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5941 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5942 'inductive' etc.
  5943 
  5944 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5945 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5946 
  5947 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5948 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5949 
  5950 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5951 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5952 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5953 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5954 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5955 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5956 the algorithm W:
  5957 
  5958  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5959  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5960          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5961 
  5962 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5963 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5964 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5965 
  5966 
  5967 *** HOLCF ***
  5968 
  5969 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5970 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5971 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5972 
  5973 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5974 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5975 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5976 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5977 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5978 
  5979 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5980 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5981 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5982 
  5983 
  5984 *** ZF ***
  5985 
  5986 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5987 
  5988 
  5989 *** ML ***
  5990 
  5991 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5992 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5993 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5994 5.2.1!
  5995 
  5996 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5997 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5998 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5999 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6000 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6001 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6002 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6003 
  6004 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6005 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6006 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6007 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6008 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6009 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6010 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6011 
  6012 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6013 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6014 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6015 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6016 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6017 
  6018 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6019 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6020 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6021 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6022 Method.add_method.
  6023 
  6024 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6025 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6026 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6027 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6028 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6029 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6030 
  6031 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6032 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6033 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6034 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6035 examples.
  6036 
  6037 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6038 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6039 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6040 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6041 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6042 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6043 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6044 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6045 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6046 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6047 
  6048 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6049 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6050 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6051 
  6052 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6053 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6054 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6055 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6056 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6057 resort for legacy applications.
  6058 
  6059 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6060 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6061 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6062 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6063 explicit runtime argument.
  6064 
  6065 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6066 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6067 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6068 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6069 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6070 
  6071 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6072 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6073 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6074 theory state.
  6075 
  6076 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6077 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6078 
  6079   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6080   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6081   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6082   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6083   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6084   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6085   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6086   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6087   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6088   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6089 
  6090 
  6091 *** System ***
  6092 
  6093 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6094 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6095 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6096 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6097 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6098 
  6099 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6100 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6101 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6102 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6103 
  6104 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6105 
  6106 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6107 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6108 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6109 prover operations.
  6110 
  6111 
  6112 
  6113 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6114 -------------------------------
  6115 
  6116 *** General ***
  6117 
  6118 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6119 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6120 
  6121 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6122 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6123 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6124 provides a proper context already.
  6125 
  6126 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6127 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6128 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6129 
  6130 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6131 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6132 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6133 swap theory imports.
  6134 
  6135 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6136 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6137 
  6138 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6139 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6140 white space without escapes.
  6141 
  6142 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6143 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6144 "foo_bar".
  6145 
  6146 
  6147 *** Pure ***
  6148 
  6149 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6150 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6151 
  6152 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6153 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6154 
  6155 (1) unused_thms
  6156      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6157 
  6158 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6159      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6160      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6161 
  6162 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6163      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6164      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6165      their ancestors.
  6166 
  6167 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6168 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6169 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6170 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6171 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6172 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6173 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6174 
  6175 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6176 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6177 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6178 
  6179 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6180 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6181 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6182 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6183 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6184 
  6185 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6186 
  6187 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6188 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6189 update of theories within ML code.
  6190 
  6191 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6192 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6193 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6194 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6195 
  6196 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6197 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6198 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6199 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6200 
  6201 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6202 
  6203 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6204 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6205 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6206 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6207 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6208 
  6209 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6210 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6211 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6212 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6213 situations.
  6214 
  6215 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6216 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6217 proof text.
  6218 
  6219 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6220 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6221 
  6222 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6223 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6224 predicates.
  6225 
  6226 
  6227 *** Document preparation ***
  6228 
  6229 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6230 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6231 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6232 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6233 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6234 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6235 
  6236 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6237 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6238 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6239 
  6240 
  6241 *** HOL ***
  6242 
  6243 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6244 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6245 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6246 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6247 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6248 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6249 
  6250 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6251 with multithreading.
  6252 
  6253 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6254 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6255 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6256 
  6257 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6258 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6259 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6260 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6261 
  6262 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6263 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6264 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6265 and makes them available separately.  See
  6266 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6267 
  6268 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6269 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6270 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6271 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6272 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6273 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6274 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6275 the declared rules.
  6276 
  6277 This setup also deals with rules like 
  6278 
  6279   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6280 
  6281 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6282 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6283 
  6284 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6285 
  6286   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6287 
  6288   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6289     definitions on => and bool.
  6290 
  6291   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6292     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6293     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6294 
  6295       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6296       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6297       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6298       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6299       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6300       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6301       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6302       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6303 
  6304   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6305     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6306     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6307 
  6308   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6309     The proof pattern
  6310 
  6311       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6312       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6313 
  6314     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6315     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6316 
  6317       have "EX S. P S"
  6318       proof
  6319         show "P S" <...>
  6320       qed
  6321 
  6322   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6323     The proof pattern
  6324 
  6325       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6326       also have "S = T" <...>
  6327       finally have "P T" .
  6328 
  6329     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6330     must be replaced by something like
  6331 
  6332       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6333       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6334       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6335 
  6336   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6337     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6338 
  6339       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6340 
  6341     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6342     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6343     type of the form
  6344 
  6345       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6346 
  6347     rather than
  6348 
  6349       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6350 
  6351 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6352 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6353 
  6354 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6355 
  6356 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6357 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6358 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6359 
  6360 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6361 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6362 
  6363 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6364 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6365 
  6366 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6367 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6368 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6369 
  6370 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6371 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6372 
  6373   less_trans
  6374   less_linear
  6375   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6376   le_less_trans
  6377   less_le_trans
  6378   less_not_sym
  6379   less_asym
  6380 
  6381 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6382 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6383 and different variable names.
  6384 
  6385 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6386 
  6387 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6388 finite maps.
  6389 
  6390 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6391 
  6392 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6393 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6394 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6395 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6396 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6397 accordingly.
  6398 
  6399 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6400 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6401 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6402 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6403 
  6404 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6405 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6406 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6407 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6408 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6409 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6410 
  6411 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6412 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6413 
  6414 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6415 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6416 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6417 
  6418 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6419 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6420 
  6421 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6422 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6423 
  6424 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6425 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6426 
  6427 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6428 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6429 
  6430 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6431 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6432 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6433 
  6434 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6435 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6436 
  6437 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6438 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6439 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6440 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6441 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6442 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6443 
  6444 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6445 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6446 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6447 
  6448 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6449 
  6450 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6451 
  6452 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6453 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6454 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6455 
  6456 
  6457 *** ZF ***
  6458 
  6459 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6460 same session:
  6461 
  6462   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6463   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6464   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6465   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6466   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6467   List      -> List_ZF
  6468   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6469 
  6470 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6471 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6472 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6473 
  6474 
  6475 *** ML ***
  6476 
  6477 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6478 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6479 
  6480 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6481 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6482 
  6483 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6484 
  6485 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6486 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6487 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6488 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6489 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6490 
  6491 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6492 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6493 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6494 
  6495 
  6496 *** System ***
  6497 
  6498 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6499 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6500 
  6501 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6502 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6503 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6504 
  6505 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6506 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6507 
  6508 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6509 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6510 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6511 
  6512 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6513 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6514 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6515 
  6516 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6517 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6518 
  6519 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6520 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6521 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6522 script.
  6523 
  6524 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6525 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6526 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6527 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6528 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6529 
  6530 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6531 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6532 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6533 
  6534 
  6535 
  6536 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6537 -----------------------------------
  6538 
  6539 *** General ***
  6540 
  6541 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6542 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6543 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6544 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6545 
  6546 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6547 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6548 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6549 
  6550 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6551 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6552 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6553 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6554 
  6555 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6556 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6557 quotes.
  6558 
  6559 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6560 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6561 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6562 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6563 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6564 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6565 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6566 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6567 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6568 
  6569 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6570 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6571 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6572 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6573 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6574 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6575 
  6576 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6577 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6578 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6579 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6580 
  6581 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6582 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6583 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6584 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6585 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6586 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6587 
  6588 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6589 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6590 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6591 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6592 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6593 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6594 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6595 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6596 
  6597 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6598 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6599 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6600 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6601 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6602 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6603 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6604 
  6605 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6606 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6607 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6608 
  6609 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6610 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6611 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6612 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6613 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6614 limit is imposed.
  6615 
  6616 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6617 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6618 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6619 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6620 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6621 and scalability.
  6622 
  6623 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6624 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6625 
  6626 
  6627 *** Document preparation ***
  6628 
  6629 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6630 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6631 current context.
  6632 
  6633 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6634 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6635 
  6636 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6637 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6638 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6639 
  6640 
  6641 *** Pure ***
  6642 
  6643 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6644 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6645 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6646 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6647 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6648 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6649 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6650 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6651 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6652 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6653 
  6654 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6655 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6656 sketch:
  6657 
  6658     internal compilation:
  6659         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6660     writing SML code to a file:
  6661         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6662     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6663         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6664     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6665         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6666 
  6667     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:

  6672 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6673 
  6674     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6675     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6676     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6677     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6678 
  6679 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6680 
  6681     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6682       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6683 
  6684     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6685       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6686 
  6687     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6688       {(target)}+
  6689         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6690 
  6691     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6692       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6693         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6694 
  6695 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6696 
  6697 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6698 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6699 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6700 codegen".
  6701 
  6702 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6703 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6704 annotations).
  6705 
  6706 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6707 syntax.
  6708 
  6709 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6710 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6711 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6712 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6713 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6714 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6715 
  6716 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6717 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6718 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6719 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6720 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6721 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6722 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6723 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6724 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6725 equations, see section "definitions".
  6726 
  6727 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6728 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6729 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6730 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6731 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6732 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6733 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6734 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6735 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6736 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6737 
  6738 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6739 configuration options:
  6740 
  6741   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6742   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6743   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6744   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6745   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6746   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6747   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6748   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6749   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6750 
  6751 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6752 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6753 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6754 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6755 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6756 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6757 order.
  6758 
  6759 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6760 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6761 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6762 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6763 context encountered later on.
  6764 
  6765 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6766 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6767 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6768 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6769 
  6770 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6771 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6772 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6773 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6774 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6775 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6776 
  6777 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6778 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  6779 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  6780 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  6781 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  6782 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  6783 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  6784 more permissive.
  6785 
  6786 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  6787 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  6788 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  6789 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  6790 maintainability of proof texts.
  6791 
  6792 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  6793 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6794 
  6795   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6796   then guess x and y by clarify
  6797 
  6798 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6799 proof tools being involved here.
  6800 
  6801 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6802 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6803 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6804 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6805 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6806 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6807 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6808 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6809 
  6810 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6811 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6812 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6813 
  6814   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6815   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6816   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6817   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6818 
  6819 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6820 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6821 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6822 
  6823 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6824 both named and unnamed ones.
  6825 
  6826 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6827 
  6828   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6829 
  6830 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6831 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6832 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6833 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6834 
  6835 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6836 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6837 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6838 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6839 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6840 
  6841 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6842 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6843 
  6844 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6845 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6846 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6847 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6848 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6849 originally first one.
  6850 
  6851 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6852 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6853 expected.
  6854 
  6855 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6856 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6857 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6858 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6859 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6860 
  6861   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6862     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6863     obtains x where "P x"
  6864 
  6865   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6866     assumes "A & B"
  6867     obtains A and B
  6868 
  6869   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6870     assumes "A | B"
  6871     obtains
  6872       A
  6873     | B
  6874 
  6875 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6876 explicitly:
  6877 
  6878   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6879     obtains "~ thesis"
  6880 
  6881   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6882     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6883 
  6884 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6885 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6886 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6887 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6888 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6889 case_names).
  6890 
  6891 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6892 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6893 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6894 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6895 
  6896 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6897 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6898 top-level lemma.
  6899 
  6900 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6901 introduction rule (default "that").
  6902 
  6903 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6904 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6905 to occur.
  6906 
  6907 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6908 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6909 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6910 representations independently of name spaces.
  6911 
  6912 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6913 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6914 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6915 
  6916 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6917 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6918 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6919 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6920 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6921 current context.
  6922 
  6923 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6924 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6925 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6926 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6927 
  6928   axiomatization
  6929     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6930     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6931 
  6932   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6933   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6934 
  6935   abbreviation
  6936     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6937     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6938 
  6939 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6940 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6941 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6942 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6943 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6944 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6945 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6946 
  6947 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6948 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6949 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6950 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6951 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6952 
  6953 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6954 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6955 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6956 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6957 
  6958 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6959 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6960 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6961 
  6962   definition "K x _ = x"
  6963 
  6964   inductive conj for A B
  6965   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6966 
  6967 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6968 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6969 abbreviations on output.
  6970 
  6971 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6972 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6973 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6974 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6975 
  6976 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6977 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6978 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6979 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6980 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6981 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6982 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6983 
  6984 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6985 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6986 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6987 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6988 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6989 
  6990 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6991 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6992 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6993 
  6994 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6995 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6996 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6997 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6998 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6999 
  7000   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7001     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7002 
  7003 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7004 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7005 partial_order.
  7006 
  7007 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7008 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7009 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7010 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7011 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7012 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7013 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7014 examples.
  7015 
  7016 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7017 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7018 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7019 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7020 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7021 
  7022 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7023 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7024 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7025 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7026 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7027 
  7028   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7029   (induct set: foo bar)
  7030   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7031   (induct type: foo bar)
  7032 
  7033 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7034 new format.
  7035 
  7036 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7037 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7038 
  7039 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7040 considered a legacy feature.
  7041 
  7042 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7043 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7044 
  7045 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7046 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7047 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7048 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7049   
  7050 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7051 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7052 manipulating the claset.
  7053 
  7054 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7055 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7056 least one premise.
  7057 
  7058 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7059 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7060 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7061 rule steps.
  7062 
  7063 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7064 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7065 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7066 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7067 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7068 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7069 
  7070 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7071 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7072 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7073 
  7074 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7075 the graph browser tool.
  7076 
  7077 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7078 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7079 
  7080 
  7081 *** HOL ***
  7082 
  7083 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7084 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7085 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7086 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7087 multi-threading.
  7088   
  7089 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7090 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7091 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7092 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7093 work with multi-threading.
  7094 
  7095 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7096 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7097 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7098 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7099 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7100 
  7101 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7102 
  7103 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7104 equality.
  7105 
  7106 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7107 the new 'class' package:
  7108 
  7109     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7110     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7111     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7112     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7113     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7114     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7115     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7116     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7117     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7118     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7119     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7120     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7121     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7122     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7123     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7124     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7125     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7126     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7127     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7128     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7129 
  7130 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7131 
  7132 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7133 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7134 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7135 names.
  7136 
  7137 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7138 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7139 
  7140 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7141 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7142 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7143 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7144 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7145 
  7146 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7147 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7148 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7149 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7150 
  7151 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7152 
  7153 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7154 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7155 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7156 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7157 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7158 
  7159 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7160 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7161 
  7162 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7163 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7164 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7165 
  7166 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7167 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7168 
  7169 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7170 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7171 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7172 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7173 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7174 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7175 in the current context.
  7176 
  7177 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7178 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7179 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7180 
  7181 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7182 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7183 
  7184 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7185 
  7186     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7187     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7188 
  7189     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7190       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7191     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7192     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7193 
  7194     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7195     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7196 
  7197   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7298     join_max                ~> sup_max
  7299 
  7300 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7301 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7302 
  7303 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7304 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7305 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7306 "*.size".
  7307 
  7308 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7309 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7310 
  7311 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7312 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7313 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7314 
  7315 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7316 
  7317 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7318 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7319 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7320 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7321 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7322 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7323 numerals on all operations.
  7324 
  7325 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7326 
  7327 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7328 
  7329 * Code generator library theories:
  7330   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7331     languages.
  7332   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7333     languages.
  7334   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7335     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7336   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7337   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7338     denominator).
  7339   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7340     representable by rational numbers.
  7341   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7342     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7343     includes Code_Integer.
  7344   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7345     target-language built-in integers.
  7346   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7347     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7348 
  7349 * New package for inductive predicates
  7350 
  7351   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7352 
  7353     inductive
  7354       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7355       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7356     where
  7357       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7358     | ...
  7359 
  7360   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7361 
  7362     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7363 
  7364     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7365     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7366 
  7367     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7368     intros
  7369       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7370       ...
  7371 
  7372   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7373   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7374 
  7375     inductive_set
  7376       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7377       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7378     where
  7379       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7380     | ...
  7381 
  7382   or
  7383 
  7384     inductive_set
  7385       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7386       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7387       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7388     where
  7389       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7390     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7391     | ...
  7392 
  7393   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7394 
  7395   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7396   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7397 
  7398   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7399 
  7400   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7401     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7402     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7403     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7404     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7405 
  7406   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7407     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7408     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7409     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7410     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7411     statements of the form
  7412 
  7413       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7414 
  7415     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7416     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7417 
  7418       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7419 
  7420   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7421 
  7422       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7423         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7424         ==> ... ==> P
  7425 
  7426     for predicates and
  7427 
  7428       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7429         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7430         ==> ... ==> P
  7431 
  7432     for sets rather than
  7433 
  7434       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7435         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7436         ==> ... ==> P
  7437 
  7438     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7439     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7440     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7441 
  7442   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7443     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7444     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7445 
  7446 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7447 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7448 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7449 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7450 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7451 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7452 
  7453 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7454 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  7455 
  7456 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7457 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7458 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7459 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7460 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7461 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7462 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7463 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7464 variable.
  7465 
  7466 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7467 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7468 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7469 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7470   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7471   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7472 
  7473 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7474 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7475 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7476 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7477 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7478 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7479 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7480 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7481 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7482 
  7483 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7484 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7485 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7486 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7487 rat, etc.
  7488 
  7489 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7490 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7491 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7492 
  7493 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7494 
  7495 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7496 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7497 
  7498 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7499 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7500 
  7501 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7502 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7503 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7504 
  7505 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7506 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7507 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7508 
  7509 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7510 
  7511 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7512 
  7513 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7514 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7515 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7516 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7517 
  7518 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7519 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7520 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7521 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7522 
  7523 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7524 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7525 algebraic operations.
  7526 
  7527 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7528 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7529 
  7530 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7531 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7532 
  7533 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7534 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7535 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7536 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7537 adapted.
  7538  
  7539 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7540 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7541 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7542 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7543 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7544 
  7545 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7546 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7547 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7548 
  7549 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7550 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7551 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7552 
  7553 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7554 
  7555 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7556 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7557 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7558   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7559       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7560   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7561   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7562   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7563 
  7564 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7565 
  7566 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7567 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7568 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7569 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7570 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7571 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7572 
  7573 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7574 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7575 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7576 
  7577 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7578 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7579 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7580 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7581 
  7582 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7583 
  7584 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7585 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7586 
  7587 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7588 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7589 
  7590 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7591 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7592 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7593 
  7594 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7595 True/False.
  7596 
  7597 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7598 
  7599 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7600 
  7601 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7602 ``rule'' method.
  7603 
  7604 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7605 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7606 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7607 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7608 
  7609 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7610 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7611 
  7612 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7613 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7614 
  7615 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7616 Library.
  7617 
  7618 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7619 
  7620 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7621 as greatest fixed-point.
  7622 
  7623 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7624 association lists.
  7625 
  7626 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7627 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7628 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7629 
  7630 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7631 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7632 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7633 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7634 behavior.
  7635 
  7636 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7637 
  7638 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7639 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7640 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7641 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7642 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7643 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7644 
  7645 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7646 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7647 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7648 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7649 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7650 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7651 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7652 
  7653 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7654 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7655 
  7656 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7657 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7658 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7659 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7660 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7661 
  7662 
  7663 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7664 
  7665 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7666 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7667 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7668 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7669 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7670 
  7671 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7672 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7673 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7674 
  7675 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7676 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7677 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7678 
  7679 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7680 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7681 
  7682 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7683 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7684 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7685 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7701   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7702 
  7703 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7704 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7705 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7706 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7717 
  7718 
  7719 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7720 
  7721 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7722 
  7723 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7724 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7725 
  7726 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7727 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7728 
  7729 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7730 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7731 of algebraic structures.
  7732 
  7733 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7734 
  7735 
  7736 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7737 
  7738 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7739 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7740 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7741 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7742 
  7743 
  7744 *** ML ***
  7745 
  7746 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7747 (even on SML/NJ).
  7748 
  7749 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7750 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7751 compile-time.  For example:
  7752 
  7753 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7754 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7755 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7756 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7757 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7758 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7759 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7760 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7761 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7762 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7763 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7764 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7765 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7766 ML {* @{context} *}
  7767 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7768 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7769 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7770 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7771 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7772 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7773 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7774 
  7775 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7776 
  7777 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  7778 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  7779 
  7780 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  7781 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  7782 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  7783 
  7784 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  7785 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  7786 
  7787 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  7788 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  7789 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  7790 
  7791 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  7792 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  7793 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7794 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7795 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7796 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7797 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7798 declarations and definitions.
  7799 
  7800 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7801 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7802 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7803 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7804 
  7805 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7806 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7807 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7808 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7809 
  7810 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  7811 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  7812 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  7813 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  7814 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  7815 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7816 
  7817 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7818 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7819 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7820 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7821 attributes, methods, etc.
  7822 
  7823 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7824 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7825 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7826 fold_map combinators.
  7827 
  7828 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7829 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7830 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7831 derivation.
  7832 
  7833 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7834 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7835 achieve the old behaviour.
  7836 
  7837 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7838 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7839 statements.
  7840 
  7841 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7842 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7843 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7844 
  7845 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7846 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7847 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7848 
  7849   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7850   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7851   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7852 
  7853 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7854 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7855 
  7856 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7857 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7858 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7859 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7860 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7861 
  7862 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7863 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7864 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7865 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7866 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7867 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7868 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7869 in a locale context).
  7870 
  7871 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7872 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7873 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7874 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7875 
  7876 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7877 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7878 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7879 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7880 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7881 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7882 
  7883 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7884 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7885 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7886 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7887 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7888 
  7889   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7890 
  7891 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7892 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7893 this:
  7894 
  7895   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7896 
  7897 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7898 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7899 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7900 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7901 
  7902 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7903 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7904 
  7905 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7906 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7907 
  7908 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7909 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7910 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7911 batch mode.
  7912 
  7913 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7914 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7915 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7916 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7917 
  7918 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7919 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7920 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7921 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7922 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7923 
  7924 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7925 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7926 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7927 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7928 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7929 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7930 
  7931 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7932 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7933 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7934 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7935 
  7936 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7937 "Trueprop" etc.
  7938 
  7939 
  7940 *** System ***
  7941 
  7942 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7943 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7944 Isabelle installations.
  7945 
  7946 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7947 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7948 code.
  7949 
  7950 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7951 
  7952 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7953 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7954 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7955 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7956 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7957 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7958 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7959 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7960 Implementation manual.
  7961 
  7962 
  7963 
  7964 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7965 ----------------------------------
  7966 
  7967 *** General ***
  7968 
  7969 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7970 
  7971   theory <name>
  7972   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7973   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7974   begin
  7975 
  7976 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7977 
  7978   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7979 
  7980 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7981 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7982 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7983 
  7984 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7985 relative and absolute paths.
  7986 
  7987 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7988 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7989 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7990 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7991 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7992 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7993 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7994 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7995 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7996 
  7997   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7998 
  7999 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8000 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8001 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8002 
  8003 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8004 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8005 
  8006 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8007 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8008 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8009 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8010 
  8011   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8012   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8013 
  8014 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8015 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8016 faster.
  8017 
  8018 
  8019 *** Document preparation ***
  8020 
  8021 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8022 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8023 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8024 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8025 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8026 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8027 
  8028 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8029 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8030 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8031 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8032 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8033 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8034 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8035 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8036 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8037 \isadroptag.
  8038 
  8039 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8040 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8041 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8042 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8043 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8044 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8045 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8046 specified above.
  8047 
  8048 * Several new antiquotations:
  8049 
  8050   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8051 
  8052   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8053 
  8054   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8055   argument is a known logical constant;
  8056 
  8057   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8058   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8059 
  8060   @{ML text}
  8061 
  8062 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8063 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8064 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8065 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8066 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8067 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8068 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8069 
  8070 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8071 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8072 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8073 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8074 
  8075 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8076 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8077 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8078 
  8079 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8080 a proof context.
  8081 
  8082 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8083 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8084 
  8085 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8086 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8087 
  8088 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8089 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8090 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8091 
  8092 
  8093 *** Pure ***
  8094 
  8095 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8096 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8097 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8098 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8099 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8100 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8101 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8102 
  8103 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8104 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8105 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8106 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8107 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8108 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8109 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8110 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8111 
  8112 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8113 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8114 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8115 
  8116 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8117 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8118 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8119 
  8120 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8121 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8122 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8123 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8124 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8125 
  8126 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8127 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8128 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8129 axclasses vs. locales.
  8130 
  8131 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8132 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8133 
  8134 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8135 marks in schematic variable names.
  8136 
  8137 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8138 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8139 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8140 
  8141   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8142     by simp
  8143 
  8144 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8145 
  8146 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8147 annotations as "(00...)".
  8148 
  8149 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8150 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8151 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8152 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8153 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8154 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8155 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8156 
  8157 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8158 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8159 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8160 specifications.
  8161 
  8162 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8163 locally fixed variables as well.
  8164 
  8165 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8166 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8167 Limit.
  8168 
  8169 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8170 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8171 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8172 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8173 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8174 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8175 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8176 
  8177 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8178 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8179 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8180 
  8181 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8182 
  8183 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8184 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8185 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8186 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8187 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8188 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8189 
  8190 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8191 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8192 
  8193 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8194 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8195 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8196 
  8197 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8198 
  8199 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8200 theory development.
  8201 
  8202 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8203 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8204 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8205 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8206 
  8207 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8208 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8209 quoted when used as identifier.
  8210 
  8211 
  8212 *** Locales ***
  8213 
  8214 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8215 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8216 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8217 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8218 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8219 commands is a follows:
  8220 
  8221   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8222   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8223   (3) interpret expr inst
  8224 
  8225 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8226 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8227 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8228 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8229 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8230 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8231 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8232 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8233 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8234 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8235 
  8236 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8237 'interpret' instead.
  8238 
  8239 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8240 parameters.
  8241 
  8242 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8243 redeclaration.
  8244 
  8245 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8246 
  8247 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8248 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8249 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8250 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8251 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8252 
  8253 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8254 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8255 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8256 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8257 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8258 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8259 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8260 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8261 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8262 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8263 
  8264 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8265 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8266 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8267 
  8268 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8269 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8270 
  8271 
  8272 *** Provers ***
  8273 
  8274 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8275 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8276 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8277 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8278 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8279 
  8280 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8281 and quasi orders.
  8282 
  8283 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8284 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8285 
  8286 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8287 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8288 
  8289 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8290 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8291 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8292 
  8293 
  8294 *** HOL ***
  8295 
  8296 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8297 
  8298   syntax (epsilon)
  8299     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8300 
  8301 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8302 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8303 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8304 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8305 
  8306 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8307 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8308 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8309 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8310 
  8311 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8312 instead of ":".
  8313 
  8314 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8315 
  8316   Old       New
  8317   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8318   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8319   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8320   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8321   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8322 
  8323 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8324 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8325 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8326 
  8327   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8328   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8329 
  8330 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8331 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8332 interface.
  8333 
  8334 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8335 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8336 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8337 be a tuple pattern.
  8338 
  8339 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8340 
  8341   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8342   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8343   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8344   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8345 
  8346 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8347 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8348 
  8349 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8350 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8351 (insert F x)'.
  8352 
  8353 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8354 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8355 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8356 
  8357 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8358 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8359 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8360 
  8361 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8362 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8363 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8364 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8365 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8366 
  8367 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8368 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8369 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8370 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8371 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8372 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8373 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8374 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8375 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8376 
  8377 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8378 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8379 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8380 quite long.
  8381 
  8382 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8383 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8384 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8385 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8386 
  8387 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8388 type-variables in the term.
  8389 
  8390 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8391 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8392 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8393 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8394 goals than previously.
  8395 
  8396 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8397 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8398 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8399 just like y <= x.
  8400 
  8401 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8402 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8403 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8404 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8405 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8406 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8407 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8408 
  8409 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8410 
  8411 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8412 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8413 
  8414 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8415 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8416 inequalities.
  8417 
  8418 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8419 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8420 
  8421   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8422   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8423   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos

  8428   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8429   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8430   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8431   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8432 
  8433 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8434      
  8435      zero_le_square
  8436      not_square_less_zero 
  8437 
  8438   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8439   
  8440      realpow_zero_zero
  8441      realpow_two
  8442      realpow_less
  8443      zero_le_power
  8444      realpow_two_le
  8445      abs_realpow_two
  8446      realpow_two_abs     
  8447 
  8448 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8449 
  8450 * Theory List:
  8451 
  8452 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8453 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8454 
  8455   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8456   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8457   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8458   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8459 
  8460 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8461 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8462 
  8463 
  8464 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8465 
  8466 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8467 integers in the reals.
  8468 
  8469 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8470 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8471 
  8472   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8473   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8474   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8475   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8476   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8477 
  8478 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8479 
  8480 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8481 
  8482 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8483 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8484 
  8485   hypreal = real star
  8486   hypnat = nat star
  8487   hcomplex = complex star
  8488 
  8489 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8490 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8491

  8505 
  8506 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8507 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8533 
  8534 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8535 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8536 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8626 
  8627 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8628 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8629 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8630 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8631 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8632 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8633 
  8634 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8635 
  8636 
  8637 *** HOLCF ***
  8638 
  8639 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8640 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8641 type-inference.
  8642 
  8643 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8644 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8645 instead of exponential time).
  8646 
  8647 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8648 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8649 
  8650   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8651 
  8652 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8653 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8654 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8655 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8656 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8657 syntax and examples.
  8658 
  8659 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8660 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8661 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8662 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8663 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8664 
  8665 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8666 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8667 
  8668   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8669   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8670   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8671   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8672   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8673   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8674 
  8675 
  8676 *** ZF ***
  8677 
  8678 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8679 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8680 of a homomorphism).
  8681 
  8682 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8683 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8684 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8685 
  8686 
  8687 *** Cube ***
  8688 
  8689 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8690 theories.
  8691 
  8692 
  8693 *** ML ***
  8694 
  8695 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8696 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8697 
  8698 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8699 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8700 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8701 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8702 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8703 
  8704 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8705 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8706 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8707 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8708 
  8709 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8710 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8711 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8712 
  8713     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8714     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8715     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8716     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8717     seq fs = List.app fs
  8718     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8719     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8720 
  8721 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8722 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8723 
  8724   x |> f                f #> g
  8725   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8726 
  8727 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8728 
  8729   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8730   infix 2 ?;
  8731   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8732   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8733 
  8734 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8735 infix operators.
  8736 
  8737 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8738 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8739 example:
  8740 
  8741   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8742     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8743 
  8744   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8745     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8746 
  8747   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8748     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8749 
  8750   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8751     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8752 
  8753 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8754 available:
  8755 
  8756   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8757   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8758   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8759   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8760 
  8761 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8762 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8763 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8764 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8765 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8766 
  8767   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8768   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8769   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8770 
  8771 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8772 
  8773   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8774   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8775 
  8776 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8777 Naive rewrites:
  8778 
  8779   make_keylist = AList.make
  8780   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  8781 
  8782 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  8783   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  8784 
  8785     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  8786     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  8787 
  8788 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  8789   Naive rewrites:
  8790 
  8791     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  8792     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  8793 
  8794 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8795 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8796 lists.
  8797 
  8798 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8799 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8800 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8801 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8802 
  8803 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8804 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8805 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8806 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8807 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8808 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8809 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8810 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8811 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8812 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8813 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8814 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8815 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8816 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8817 Output.raw have no effect.
  8818 
  8819 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8820 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8821 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8822 
  8823 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8824 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8825 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8826 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8827 
  8828 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8829 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8830 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8831 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8832 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8833 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8834 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8835 
  8836 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8837 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8838 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8839 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8840 
  8841 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8842 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8843 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8844 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8845 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8846 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8847 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8848 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8849 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8850 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8851 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8852 
  8853 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8854 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8855 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8856 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8857 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8858 with earlier declarations.
  8859 
  8860 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8861 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8862 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8863 
  8864 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8865 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8866 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8867 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8868 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8869 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8870 
  8871   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8872     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8873 
  8874   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8875     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8876 
  8877   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8878     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8879     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8880     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8881 
  8882 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8883 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8884 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8885 
  8886 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8887 
  8888 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8889 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8890 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8891 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8892 
  8893 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8894 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8895 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8896 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8897 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8898 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8899 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8900 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8901 
  8902 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8903 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8904 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8905 
  8906 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8907 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8908 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8909 
  8910 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8911 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8912 
  8913   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8914   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8915   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8916   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8917 
  8918 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8919 
  8920 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8921 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8922 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8923 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8924 (both increase the runtime).
  8925 
  8926 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8927 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8928 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8929 
  8930 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8931 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8932 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8933 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8934 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8935 for further details.
  8936 
  8937 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8938 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8939 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8940 scripts for the time being.
  8941 
  8942 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8943 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8944 
  8945   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8946   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8947 
  8948 
  8949 *** System ***
  8950 
  8951 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8952 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8953 
  8954 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8955 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8956 
  8957 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8958 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8959 
  8960 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8961 distribution being used.
  8962 
  8963 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8964 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8965 theories.
  8966 
  8967 
  8968 
  8969 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8970 --------------------------------
  8971 
  8972 *** General ***
  8973 
  8974 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8975   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8976 
  8977 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8978   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8979   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8980   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8981   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8982   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8983   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8984   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8985   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8986   existing theory and ML files.
  8987 
  8988 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8989 
  8990 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8991   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8992   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8993   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8994 
  8995 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8996   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8997   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8998   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8999 
  9000 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9001   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9002   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9003 
  9004 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9005   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9006   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9007   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9008   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9009 
  9010 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9011   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9012 
  9013 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9014   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9015   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9016 
  9017 
  9018 *** Isar ***
  9019 
  9020 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9021   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9022   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9023     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9024     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9025     emulations.
  9026   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9027     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9028     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9029 
  9030 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9031   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9032     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9033     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9034   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9035 
  9036 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9037   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9038   and derived forms.
  9039 
  9040 * Locales:
  9041   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9042     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9043     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9044     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9045   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9046     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9047   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9048     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9049   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9050         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9051     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9052     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9053     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9054     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9055     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9056       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9057     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9058     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9059     with "locale (open)".
  9060       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9061 
  9062 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9063   (Isar) contexts.
  9064 
  9065 
  9066 *** HOL ***
  9067 
  9068 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9069   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9070   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9071   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9072   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9073 
  9074 * Simplifier:
  9075   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9076     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9077     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9078     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9079     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9080   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9081     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9082     is solved by simplification already.
  9083 
  9084 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9085     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9086 
  9087 * Numerics:
  9088   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9089     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9090   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9091     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9092   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9093     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9094     exponentiation).
  9095 
  9096 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9097 
  9098 * Records:
  9099   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9100     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9101     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9102   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9103     (not enabled by default).
  9104   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9105     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9106   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9107 
  9108 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9109   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9110   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9111 
  9112 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9113 
  9114 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9115 
  9116 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9117   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9118 
  9119 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9120   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9121 
  9122 * Unions and Intersections:
  9123   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9124   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9125   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9126   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9127 
  9128 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9129   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9130   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9131   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9132 
  9133 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9134   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9135 
  9136 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9137   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9138 
  9139 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9140   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9141   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9142 
  9143 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9144   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9145   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9146   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9147   for examples.
  9148 
  9149 
  9150 *** HOLCF ***
  9151 
  9152 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9153 
  9154 
  9155 
  9156 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9157 ------------------------------
  9158 
  9159 *** General ***
  9160 
  9161 * Provers/simplifier:
  9162 
  9163   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9164     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9165     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9166     the order of assumptions.
  9167 
  9168     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9169 
  9170     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9171        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9172 
  9173         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9174 
  9175        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9176 
  9177         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9178 
  9179        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9180        kind of problem.
  9181 
  9182     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9183        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9184        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9185        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9186        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9187        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9188        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9189 
  9190   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9191 
  9192   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9193     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9194     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9195     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9196     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9197     the simplifier would diverge.
  9198 
  9199   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9200 
  9201   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9202     congruence is ignored.
  9203 
  9204 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9205   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9206   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9207 
  9208 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9209 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9210    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9211 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9212 
  9213 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9214 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9215       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9216 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9217 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9218 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9219 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9220 
  9221 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9222 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9223 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9224 assumption failed.
  9225 
  9226 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9227 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9228 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9229 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9230 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9231 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9232 on the old view without predicates;
  9233 
  9234 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9235 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9236 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9237 
  9238 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9239 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9240 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9241 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9242 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9243 be given (the default is 40);
  9244 
  9245 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9246 (batch-mode only);
  9247 
  9248 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9249 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9250 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9251 
  9252 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9253 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9254 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9255 
  9256 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9257 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9258 
  9259 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9260 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9261 
  9262 
  9263 *** HOL ***
  9264 
  9265 * arith(_tac)
  9266 
  9267  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9268    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9269    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9270    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9271 
  9272  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9273 
  9274  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9275    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9276    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9277 
  9278 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9279 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9280 
  9281 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9282 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9283 
  9284 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9285 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9286 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9287 
  9288 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9289 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9290 
  9291 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9292 definition;
  9293 
  9294 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9295 Finite_Set);
  9296 
  9297 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9298 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9299 
  9300 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9301   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9302 
  9303 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9304 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9305 of the empty set.
  9306 
  9307 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9308 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9309 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9310 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9311 
  9312 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9313 
  9314 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9315 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9316 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9317 
  9318 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9319 
  9320 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9321 Fleuriot);
  9322 
  9323 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9324 
  9325 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9326 Gray and Kramer);
  9327 
  9328 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9329 
  9330 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9331 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9332 
  9333 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9334 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9335 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9336 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9337 assignment, exceptions.
  9338 
  9339 
  9340 *** ZF ***
  9341 
  9342 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9343 universe, etc.);
  9344 
  9345 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9346 
  9347 
  9348 *** ML ***
  9349 
  9350 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9351 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9352 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9353 
  9354 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9355 
  9356 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9357 up simprocs;
  9358 
  9359 
  9360 *** Document preparation ***
  9361 
  9362 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9363 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9364 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9365 
  9366 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9367 other packages
  9368 
  9369 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9370 broke \Rightarrow)
  9371 
  9372 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9373 textcomp package)
  9374 
  9375 
  9376 
  9377 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9378 --------------------------------
  9379 
  9380 *** Document preparation ***
  9381 
  9382 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9383 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9384 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9385 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9386 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9387 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9388 
  9389 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9390 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9391 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9392 
  9393 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9394 blocks after section headings;
  9395 
  9396 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9397 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9398 
  9399 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9400 better in printed text;
  9401 
  9402 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9403 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9404 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9405 
  9406 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9407 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9408 location;
  9409 
  9410 
  9411 *** Isar ***
  9412 
  9413 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9414   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9415     "case (Suc n)");
  9416   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9417     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9418     instantiation of cases;
  9419   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9420     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9421     rules without further ado;
  9422   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9423     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9424     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9425     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9426     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9427   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9428     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9429     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9430     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9431     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9432     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9433   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9434     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9435     below);
  9436   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9437     success (no backtracking);
  9438   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9439   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9440   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9441     General versions);
  9442   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9443   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9444 
  9445 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9446 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9447 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9448 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9449 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9450 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9451 fails:
  9452 
  9453   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9454 
  9455 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9456 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9457 
  9458 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9459 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9460 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9461 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9462 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9463 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9464 some examples;
  9465 
  9466 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9467 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9468 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9469 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9470 qualified by the locale name);
  9471 
  9472 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9473 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9474 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9475 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9476 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9477 
  9478 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9479 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9480 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9481 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9482 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9483 
  9484 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9485 
  9486 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9487 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9488 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9489 
  9490 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9491 
  9492 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9493 
  9494 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9495 
  9496 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9497 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9498 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9499 
  9500 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9501 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9502 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9503 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9504 proof *scripts*;
  9505 
  9506 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9507 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9508 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9509 especially important for locales);
  9510 
  9511 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9512 mode;
  9513 
  9514 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9515 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9516 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9517 situations;
  9518 
  9519 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9520 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9521 
  9522 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9523 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9524 discontinued;
  9525 
  9526 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9527 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9528 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9529 
  9530 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9531 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9532 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9533 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9534 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9535 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9536 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9537 
  9538 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9539 of introduction rules;
  9540 
  9541 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9542 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9543 conditional rules;
  9544 
  9545 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9546 
  9547 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9548 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9549 
  9550 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9551 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9552 
  9553 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9554 wf_induct_rule;
  9555 
  9556 
  9557 *** HOL ***
  9558 
  9559 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9560 follows:
  9561 
  9562   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9563   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9564 
  9565   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9566   binary representation internally;
  9567 
  9568   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9569   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9570 
  9571 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9572 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9573 
  9574   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9575   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9576   to be spaced properly;
  9577 
  9578   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9579   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9580 
  9581   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9582 
  9583   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9584 
  9585 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9586 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9587 
  9588 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9589 
  9590 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9591 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9592 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9593 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9594 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9595 
  9596 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9597   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9598     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9599     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9600     declared as simp by default;
  9601   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9602     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9603   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9604     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9605   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9606   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9607     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9608     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9609   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9610     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9611 
  9612 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9613 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9614 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9615 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9616 
  9617 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9618 
  9619 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9620         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9621         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9622 
  9623 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9624 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9625 
  9626 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9627 
  9628 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9629 
  9630 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9631 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9632   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9633 
  9634 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9635 in this (rare) case use:
  9636 
  9637   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9638   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9639 
  9640 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9641 MAY FAIL;
  9642 
  9643 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9644 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9645 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9646 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9647 
  9648 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9649 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9650 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9651 
  9652 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9653 expressions;
  9654 
  9655 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9656 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9657 
  9658 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9659 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9660 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9661 
  9662 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9663 
  9664 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9665 the "cases" method);
  9666 
  9667 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9668 Florian Kammller);
  9669 
  9670 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9671 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9672 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9673 
  9674 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9675 
  9676 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9677 
  9678 
  9679 *** HOLCF ***
  9680 
  9681 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9682 operations;
  9683 
  9684 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9685 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9686 
  9687 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9688 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9689 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9690 
  9691 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9692 
  9693 
  9694 *** ZF ***
  9695 
  9696 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9697 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9698 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9699 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9700 
  9701 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9702 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9703 
  9704 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9705 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9706 
  9707 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9708 typeless version of the formalism;
  9709 
  9710 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9711 format;
  9712 
  9713 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9714 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9715 new-style theory format;
  9716 
  9717 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9718 
  9719 
  9720 *** General ***
  9721 
  9722 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9723 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9724 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9725 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9726 
  9727 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9728 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9729 
  9730 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9731 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9732 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9733 properly;
  9734 
  9735 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9736 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9737 
  9738 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9739 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9740 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9741 type variable);
  9742 
  9743 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9744 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9745 "type_brackets";
  9746 
  9747 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9748 tokens into AST constants;
  9749 
  9750 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9751 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9752 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9753 
  9754 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9755 practice);
  9756 
  9757 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9758 addSafter;
  9759 
  9760 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9761 as well;
  9762 
  9763 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9764 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9765 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9766 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9767 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9768 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9769 
  9770 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9771 
  9772 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9773 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9774 
  9775 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9776 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9777 
  9778 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  9779 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  9780 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  9781 
  9782 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  9783 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  9784 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  9785 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  9786 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  9787 
  9788 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  9789 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  9790 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  9791 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  9792 
  9793 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9794 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9795 terminal);
  9796 
  9797 
  9798 
  9799 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9800 -----------------------------------
  9801 
  9802 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9803 
  9804 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9805 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9806 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9807 
  9808 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9809 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9810 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9811 'split_rule (complete)';
  9812 
  9813 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9814 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9815 
  9816 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9817 
  9818 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9819 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9820 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9821 
  9822 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9823 operation;
  9824 
  9825 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9826 
  9827 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9828 
  9829 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9830 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9831 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9832 
  9833 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9834 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9835 
  9836 
  9837 *** Document preparation ***
  9838 
  9839 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9840 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9841 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9842 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9843 type-writer);
  9844 
  9845 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9846 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9847 
  9848 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9849 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9850 
  9851 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9852 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9853 definitions);
  9854 
  9855 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9856 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9857 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9858 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9859 
  9860 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9861 fonts;
  9862 
  9863 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9864 generation;
  9865 
  9866 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9867 
  9868 
  9869 *** Isar ***
  9870 
  9871 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9872 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9873 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9874 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9875 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9876 
  9877 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9878 rules as well;
  9879 
  9880 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9881 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9882 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9883 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9884 
  9885 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9886 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9887 
  9888 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9889 statements as well;
  9890 
  9891 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9892 
  9893 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9894 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9895 
  9896 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9897 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9898 
  9899 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9900 
  9901 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9902 
  9903 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9904 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9905 
  9906 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9907 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9908 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9909 
  9910 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9911 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9912 the result to be shown in each case;
  9913 
  9914 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9915 
  9916 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9917 
  9918 
  9919 *** HOL ***
  9920 
  9921 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9922 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9923 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9924 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9925 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9926 
  9927 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9928 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9929 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9930 
  9931 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9932 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9933 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9934 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9935 literature;
  9936 
  9937 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9938 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9939 operator \<Sum>;
  9940 
  9941 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9942 HOL/subset.thy);
  9943 
  9944 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9945 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9946 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9947 
  9948 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9949 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9950 
  9951 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9952 rules with string literals);
  9953 
  9954 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9955  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9956  functions for the reals;
  9957 
  9958 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9959 
  9960 
  9961 *** CTT ***
  9962 
  9963 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9964 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9965 
  9966 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9967 and Arith);
  9968 
  9969 
  9970 *** General ***
  9971 
  9972 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9973 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9974 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9975 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9976 
  9977 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9978 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9979 
  9980 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9981 as assumptions as well;
  9982 
  9983 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9984 
  9985 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9986 
  9987 
  9988 
  9989 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9990 ----------------------------------
  9991 
  9992 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9993 
  9994 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9995 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9996 issue the following ML commands:
  9997 
  9998   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9999   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10000 
 10001 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10002 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10003 
 10004 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10005 
 10006 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10007 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10008 
 10009   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10010   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10011   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10012   selectI2         -> someI2
 10013   selectI          -> someI
 10014   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10015   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10016   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10017 
 10018 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10019 
 10020 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10021 instead);
 10022 
 10023 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10024 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10025 
 10026 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10027 
 10028 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10029 sometimes be needed;
 10030 
 10031 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10032 
 10033 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10034 
 10035 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10036 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10037 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10038 
 10039 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10040 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10041 
 10042 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10043 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10044 
 10045   syntax (symbols)
 10046     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10047       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10048 
 10049 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10050 
 10051 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10052 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10053 internally;
 10054 
 10055 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10056 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10057 
 10058 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10059 proofs;
 10060 
 10061 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10062 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10063 
 10064 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10065 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10066 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10067 "rule del";
 10068 
 10069 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10070 
 10071 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10072 
 10073 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10074 lib/texinputs);
 10075 
 10076 
 10077 *** Document preparation ***
 10078 
 10079 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10080 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10081 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10082 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10083 
 10084 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10085 including proper document sources;
 10086 
 10087 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10088 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10089 of isatool usedir;
 10090 
 10091 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10092 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10093 LaTeX debugging;
 10094 
 10095 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10096 
 10097 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10098 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10099 graph for 'all sessions';
 10100 
 10101 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10102 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10103 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10104 
 10105 
 10106 *** Isar ***
 10107 
 10108 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10109 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10110 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10111 
 10112 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10113 generalized existence reasoning;
 10114 
 10115 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10116 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10117 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10118 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10119 premises;
 10120 
 10121 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10122 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10123 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10124 to theorems as "tags";
 10125 
 10126 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10127 class/type/const name spaces;
 10128 
 10129 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10130 indicate potential overloading;
 10131 
 10132 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10133 
 10134 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10135 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10136 
 10137 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10138 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10139 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10140 
 10141 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10142 case name 'antecedent';
 10143 
 10144 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10145 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10146 
 10147 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10148 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10149 
 10150 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10151 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10152 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10153 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10154 
 10155 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10156 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10157 
 10158 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10159 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10160 well (including splits);
 10161 
 10162 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10163 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10164 
 10165 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10166 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10167 
 10168 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10169 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10170 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10171 
 10172 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10173 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10174 calculations;
 10175 
 10176 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10177 method anyway;
 10178 
 10179 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10180 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10181 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10182 
 10183 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10184 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10185 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10186 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10187 
 10188 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10189 
 10190 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10191 
 10192 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10193 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10194 proof states;
 10195 
 10196 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10197 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10198 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10199 
 10200 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10201 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10202 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10203 (for HOL datatypes);
 10204 
 10205 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10206 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10207 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10208 
 10209 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10210 
 10211 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10212 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10213 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10214 
 10215 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10216 
 10217 
 10218 *** HOL ***
 10219 
 10220 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10221 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10222 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10223 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10224 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10225 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10226 
 10227 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10228 Clemens Ballarin;
 10229 
 10230 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10231 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10232 Rasmussen;
 10233 
 10234 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10235 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10236 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10237 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10238 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10239 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10240 
 10241 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10242 von Oheimb;
 10243 
 10244 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10245 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10246 
 10247 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10248 
 10249 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10250 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10251 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10252 
 10253 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10254 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10255 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10256 
 10257 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10258 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10259 
 10260 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10261 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10262 
 10263 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10264    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10265    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10266   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10267     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10268   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10269     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10270 
 10271 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10272 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10273 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10274 
 10275 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10276 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10277 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10278 
 10279 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10280 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10281 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10282 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10283 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10284 
 10285 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10286 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10287 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10288 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10289 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10290 each equation;
 10291 
 10292 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10293 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10294 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10295 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10296 
 10297 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10298 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10299 
 10300 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10301 
 10302 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10303 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10304 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10305 
 10306 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10307 
 10308 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10309 main HOL, but was unused);
 10310 
 10311 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10312 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10313 
 10314 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10315 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10316 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10317 bogus);
 10318 
 10319 
 10320 *** ZF ***
 10321 
 10322 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10323 expressions over nat and int;
 10324 
 10325 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10326 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10327 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10328 
 10329 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10330 using the function intify;
 10331 
 10332 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10333 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10334 
 10335 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10336 simplification;
 10337 
 10338 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10339 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10340 
 10341 
 10342 *** General ***
 10343 
 10344 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10345 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10346 
 10347 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10348 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10349 
 10350 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10351 explicit make_elim);
 10352 
 10353 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10354   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10355 use instead the strong form,
 10356   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10357 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10358 from destruct-rules;
 10359 
 10360 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10361 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10362 
 10363 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10364 
 10365 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10366 for hiding of names;
 10367 
 10368 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10369 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10370 situations;
 10371 
 10372 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10373 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10374 Poly/ML);
 10375 
 10376 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10377 useful for remote X11);
 10378 
 10379 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10380 
 10381 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10382 order;
 10383 
 10384 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10385 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10386 
 10387 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10388 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10389 
 10390 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10391 overloading (usually false);
 10392 
 10393 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10394 results;
 10395 
 10396 
 10397 
 10398 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10399 --------------------------------
 10400 
 10401 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10402 
 10403 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10404 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10405 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10406 
 10407     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10408 
 10409 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10410 complement;
 10411 
 10412 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10413 
 10414 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10415   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10416 
 10417 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10418 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10419 
 10420 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10421 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10422 
 10423 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10424 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10425 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10426 
 10427 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10428 
 10429 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10430         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10431 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10432 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10433         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10434 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10435 
 10436 
 10437 *** Proof tools ***
 10438 
 10439 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10440 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10441 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10442 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10443 
 10444 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10445      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10446   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10447   matching.
 10448 
 10449 
 10450 *** General ***
 10451 
 10452 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10453 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10454 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10455 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10456 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10457 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10458 
 10459 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10460 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10461 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10462 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10463 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10464 
 10465 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10466 Isabelle/Isar;
 10467 
 10468 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10469 using the graph browser tool;
 10470 
 10471 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10472 
 10473 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10474 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10475 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10476 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10477 isatool doc ref);
 10478 
 10479 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10480 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10481 
 10482 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10483 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10484 
 10485 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10486 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10487 Isabelle;
 10488 
 10489 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10490 
 10491 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10492 empty;
 10493 
 10494 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10495 long arrows);
 10496 
 10497 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10498 
 10499 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10500 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10501 
 10502 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10503 mode and goal output format:
 10504 
 10505 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10506 244c244
 10507 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10508 ---
 10509 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10510 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10511 181c181
 10512 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10513 ---
 10514 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10515 
 10516 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10517 
 10518 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10519 
 10520 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10521 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10522 result still apply;
 10523 
 10524 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10525 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10526 
 10527 
 10528 *** HOL ***
 10529 
 10530 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10531 
 10532 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10533 int:
 10534 
 10535 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10536 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10537 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10538 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10539 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10540 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10541 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10542 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10543 
 10544 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10545 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10546 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10547 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10548 simplifier.
 10549 
 10550 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10551 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10552 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10553 
 10554 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10555 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10556 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10557 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10558 type constraints;
 10559 
 10560 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10561 arguments;
 10562 
 10563 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10564 are now available;
 10565 
 10566 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10567 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10568 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10569 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10570 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10571   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10572 
 10573 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10574 
 10575 
 10576 ** HOL misc **
 10577 
 10578 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10579 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10580 
 10581 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10582 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10583 
 10584 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10585 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10586 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10587 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10588 
 10589 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10590   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10591   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10592   "mono" attribute);
 10593 
 10594 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10595   (using function types) such as
 10596 
 10597   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10598 
 10599 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10600 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10601 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10602 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10603 
 10604   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10605   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10606 
 10607 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10608 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10609 
 10610 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10611 names rather than an ML expression;
 10612 
 10613 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10614 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10615     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10616 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10617 
 10618 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10619 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10620 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10621 
 10622 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10623 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10624 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10625 
 10626 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10627 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10628 
 10629 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10630 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10631 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10632 
 10633 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10634 
 10635 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10636 thus available for user theories;
 10637 
 10638 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10639 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10640 time;
 10641 
 10642 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10643 several times and then mp;
 10644 
 10645 
 10646 *** LK ***
 10647 
 10648 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10649 formulas;
 10650 
 10651 * the simplifier is now installed
 10652 
 10653 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10654 
 10655 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10656 
 10657 
 10658 *** ZF ***
 10659 
 10660 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10661 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10662 
 10663 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10664 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10665 
 10666 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10667 
 10668 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10669 constructors;
 10670 
 10671 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10672 type-checking rules;
 10673 
 10674 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10675 to the claset;
 10676 
 10677 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10678 if(P,x,y);
 10679 
 10680 
 10681 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10682 
 10683 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10684 
 10685 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10686 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10687 
 10688 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10689 
 10690 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10691 printing empty lines;
 10692 
 10693 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10694 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10695 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10696 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10697 
 10698 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10699 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10700 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10701 
 10702 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10703 now of type real instead of int;
 10704 
 10705 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10706 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10707 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10708 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10709 
 10710 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10711 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10712 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10713 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10714 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10715 
 10716 
 10717 
 10718 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10719 ----------------------------------
 10720 
 10721 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10722 
 10723 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10724 
 10725 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10726 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10727 
 10728 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10729 called `inj_on';
 10730 
 10731 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10732   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10733   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10734 
 10735 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10736 required);
 10737 
 10738 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10739 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10740 now taken as an integer constant.
 10741 
 10742 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10743 
 10744 
 10745 *** Proof tools ***
 10746 
 10747 * Simplifier:
 10748   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10749      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10750         simplify.
 10751      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10752         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10753      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10754      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10755   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10756 
 10757 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10758 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10759 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10760 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10761 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10762 one (emitting a warning).
 10763   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10764   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10765   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10766   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10767   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10768 
 10769 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10770 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10771 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10772 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10773 by Force_tac;
 10774 
 10775 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10776 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10777 
 10778 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 10779 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 10780 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 10781 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 10782 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 10783 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 10784 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 10785 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 10786 split_all_tac for record fields.
 10787 
 10788 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 10789 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 10790 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 10791 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 10792 
 10793 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10794 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10795 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10796 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10797 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10798 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10799 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10800 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10801 t is the name of the datatype).
 10802 
 10803 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10804 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10805 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10806 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10807 
 10808 
 10809 *** General ***
 10810 
 10811 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 10812 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 10813 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 10814 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 10815 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 10816 (backup your sources first!);
 10817 
 10818 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 10819 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 10820 
 10821 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 10822 definitions that have local scope;
 10823 
 10824 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 10825 
 10826 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 10827 (e.g. package initialization);
 10828 
 10829 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 10830 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 10831 
 10832 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 10833 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 10834 
 10835 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 10836 
 10837 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 10838 
 10839 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 10840 
 10841 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 10842 
 10843 
 10844 *** HOL ***
 10845 
 10846 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 10847 
 10848 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 10849 definitions such as
 10850 
 10851   inductive EVEN ODD
 10852     intrs
 10853       null "0 : EVEN"
 10854       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 10855       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 10856 
 10857 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10858 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10859 correctly (also ZF);
 10860 
 10861 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10862 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10863 contained in "induct";
 10864 
 10865 
 10866 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10867 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10868 
 10869   datatype
 10870     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10871             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10872             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10873             | NUM 'a
 10874   and
 10875     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10876             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10877             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10878 
 10879 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10880 
 10881   datatype
 10882     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10883                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10884 
 10885 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10886 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10887 
 10888 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10889 <function_name>.simps.
 10890 
 10891 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10892 
 10893   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10894     ancestor.
 10895   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10896     generic induct_tac instead.
 10897   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10898     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10899     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10900     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10901   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10902     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10903   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10904     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10905     sort constraints.
 10906   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10907     of recursive argument.

 10909 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10910 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10911 
 10912 
 10913 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10914 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10915 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10916 support is as follows:
 10917 
 10918   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10919 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10920 
 10921   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10922 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10923 
 10924   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10925 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10926 
 10927 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10928 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10929 the name of your record type.
 10930 
 10931 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10932 
 10933   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10934 
 10935 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10936 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10937 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10938 solve record problems automatically.
 10939 
 10940 
 10941 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10942 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10943 
 10944 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10945 
 10946 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10947 
 10948 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10949 
 10950 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10951 
 10952 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10953 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10954 with add/delsplits);
 10955 
 10956 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10957 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10958 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10959 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10960 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10961 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10962 %u.f();
 10963 
 10964 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10965 makes more sense);
 10966 
 10967 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10968   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10969   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10970 
 10971 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10972 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10973 literature);
 10974 
 10975 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10976 the well-founded relation;
 10977 
 10978 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10979     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10980     release ONLY.
 10981 
 10982 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10983     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10984 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10985 
 10986 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10987 
 10988 * HOL/List:
 10989   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10990     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10991   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10992     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10993     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10994   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10995 
 10996 * HOL/Arith:
 10997   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10998   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10999   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11000   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11001 
 11002 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11003 instead of "inverse";
 11004 
 11005 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11006   of the multiset ordering;
 11007 
 11008 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11009   (not included by default);
 11010 
 11011 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11012 
 11013 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11014   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11015 
 11016 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11017   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11018   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11019 
 11020 
 11021 *** ZF ***
 11022 
 11023 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11024   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11025 
 11026 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11027   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11028   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11029 
 11030 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11031     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11032   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11033 
 11034 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11035 
 11036 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11037   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11038   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11039 
 11040 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11041     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11042 
 11043 
 11044 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11045 
 11046 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11047 also src/Pure/README;
 11048 
 11049 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11050 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11051 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11052 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11053 
 11054 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11055 are qualified by default;
 11056 
 11057 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11058 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11059 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11060 
 11061 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11062 cterm -> thm;
 11063 
 11064 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11065 subgoal;
 11066 
 11067 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11068 
 11069 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11070 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11071 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11072 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11073 for example;
 11074 
 11075 
 11076 
 11077 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11078 --------------------------------
 11079 
 11080 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11081 
 11082 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11083 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11084 
 11085 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11086 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11087 
 11088 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11089 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11090 
 11091 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11092 
 11093 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11094 
 11095 
 11096 *** General Changes ***
 11097 
 11098 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11099 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11100 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11101 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11102 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11103 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11104 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11105 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11106 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11107 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11108 section;
 11109 
 11110 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11111 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11112 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11113 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11114 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11115 
 11116 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11117 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11118 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11119 
 11120 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11121 conditional equations;
 11122 
 11123 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11124 
 11125 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11126 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11127 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11128 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11129 
 11130 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11131 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11132 
 11133 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11134 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11135 
 11136 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11137 show_types);
 11138 
 11139 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11140 
 11141 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11142 
 11143 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11144 
 11145 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11146 
 11147 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11148 
 11149 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11150     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11151 
 11152 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11153 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11154 
 11155 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11156 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11157 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11158 
 11159 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11160 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11161 
 11162 
 11163 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11164 
 11165 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11166 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11167 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11168 
 11169 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11170 
 11171 
 11172 *** Simplifier ***
 11173 
 11174 * added simplification meta rules:
 11175     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11176 
 11177 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11178 logics (again);
 11179 
 11180 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11181 
 11182 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11183   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11184   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11185 
 11186 
 11187 *** Syntax ***
 11188 
 11189 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11190 
 11191 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11192 
 11193 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11194 
 11195 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11196 
 11197 
 11198 *** HOL ***
 11199 
 11200 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11201   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11202 
 11203 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11204 
 11205 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11206   protocol TLS;
 11207 
 11208 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11209 
 11210 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11211 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11212 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11213 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11214 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11215 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11216 
 11217 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11218   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11219   are rewritten to
 11220   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11221   and those of the form
 11222   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11223   are rewritten to
 11224   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11225 
 11226 * HOL/datatype
 11227   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11228 
 11229   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11230      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11231         ...
 11232        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11233      )
 11234 
 11235   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11236 
 11237   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11238     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11239         ...
 11240        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11241      )
 11242   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11243   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11244   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11245 
 11246 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11247   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11248     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11249     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11250   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11251     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11252     `standard'.
 11253 
 11254 * HOL/Lists:
 11255   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11256   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11257   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11258 
 11259 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11260 
 11261 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11262   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11263 
 11264 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11265 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11266 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11267 
 11268 
 11269 *** HOLCF ***
 11270 
 11271 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11272 
 11273 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11274   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11275 
 11276 * domain package:
 11277   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11278   . creates hierachical name space,
 11279   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11280   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11281   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11282   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11283   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11284     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11285 
 11286 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11287 
 11288 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11289 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11290 
 11291 
 11292 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11293 
 11294 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11295   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11296 
 11297 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11298 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11299 
 11300 
 11301 
 11302 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11303 ------------------------------
 11304 
 11305 *** General Changes ***
 11306 
 11307 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11308 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11309 
 11310 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11311 
 11312 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11313 
 11314 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11315 messages and clean internal interface;
 11316 
 11317 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11318 setting goals_limit);
 11319 
 11320 
 11321 *** Syntax ***
 11322 
 11323 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11324 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11325 
 11326 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11327 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11328 "symbols" syntax table;
 11329 
 11330 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11331 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11332 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11333 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11334 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11335 
 11336 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11337 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11338 version of xterm);
 11339 
 11340 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11341 
 11342 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11343 access type of constant);
 11344 
 11345 
 11346 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11347 
 11348 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11349 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11350   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11351   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11352         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11353   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11354   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11355     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11356   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11357 
 11358 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11359 assumptions;
 11360 
 11361 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11362 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11363 (and access functions for it);
 11364 
 11365 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11366   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11367   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11368     safe steps.
 11369   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11370     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11371     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11372 
 11373 *** Simplifier ***
 11374 
 11375 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11376 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11377 redex);
 11378 
 11379 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11380 
 11381 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11382 
 11383 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11384 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11385 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11386 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11387 
 11388 
 11389 *** HOL ***
 11390 
 11391 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11392 also for type `nat';
 11393 
 11394 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11395 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11396 
 11397 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11398 
 11399 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11400 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11401 
 11402 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11403 
 11404 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11405 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11406 
 11407 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11408 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11409 
 11410 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11411 infinite lists;
 11412 
 11413 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11414 
 11415 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11416 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11417 
 11418 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11419 
 11420 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11421 
 11422 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11423 
 11424 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11425 
 11426 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11427   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11428   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11429   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11430   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11431   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11432   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11433   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11434   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11435 
 11436 
 11437 *** ZF ***
 11438 
 11439 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11440 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11441 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11442 
 11443 
 11444 
 11445 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11446 ---------------------------------
 11447 
 11448 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11449 
 11450 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11451 
 11452 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11453 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11454 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11455 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11456 
 11457 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11458 
 11459 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11460 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11461 
 11462 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11463 
 11464 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11465 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11466 
 11467 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11468 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11469 
 11470 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11471 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11472 
 11473 
 11474 
 11475 New in Isabelle94-6
 11476 -------------------
 11477 
 11478 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11479 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11480 
 11481 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11482 
 11483 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11484 
 11485 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11486 
 11487 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11488 
 11489 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11490 
 11491 
 11492 
 11493 New in Isabelle94-5
 11494 -------------------
 11495 
 11496 * reduced space requirements;
 11497 
 11498 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11499 
 11500 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11501 
 11502 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11503 
 11504 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11505 
 11506 
 11507 
 11508 New in Isabelle94-4
 11509 -------------------
 11510 
 11511 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11512 
 11513 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11514 
 11515 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11516 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11517 
 11518 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11519 Axiom of Choice;
 11520 
 11521 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11522 
 11523 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11524 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11525 
 11526 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11527 
 11528 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11529 translates to the operator "split";
 11530 
 11531 
 11532 
 11533 New in Isabelle94-3
 11534 -------------------
 11535 
 11536 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11537 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11538         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11539 
 11540 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11541 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11542 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11543 
 11544 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11545 
 11546 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11547 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11548 
 11549 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11550 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11551 
 11552 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11553 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11554 
 11555 
 11556 
 11557 New in Isabelle94-2
 11558 -------------------
 11559 
 11560 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11561 
 11562 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11563 freely;
 11564 
 11565 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11566 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11567 
 11568 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11569 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11570 (theory_of_thm);
 11571 
 11572 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11573 
 11574 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11575 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11576 
 11577 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11578 have been removed;
 11579 
 11580 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11581 
 11582 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11583 
 11584 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11585 types;
