     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history of user-relevant changes
     2 =================================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2014 (August 2014)
     5 ---------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.
    10 Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
    11 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
    12 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
    13 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'
    14 and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two
    15 separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for
    16 some examples.
    17 
    18 * Standard tactics and proof methods such as "clarsimp", "auto" and
    19 "safe" now preserve equality hypotheses "x = expr" where x is a free
    20 variable.  Locale assumptions and chained facts containing "x"
    21 continue to be useful.  The new method "hypsubst_thin" and the
    22 configuration option "hypsubst_thin" (within the attribute name space)
    23 restore the previous behavior.  INCOMPATIBILITY, especially where
    24 induction is done after these methods or when the names of free and
    25 bound variables clash.  As first approximation, old proofs may be
    26 repaired by "using [[hypsubst_thin = true]]" in the critical spot.
    27 
    28 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    29 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    30 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    31 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    32 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    33 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    34 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    35 proof tools.
    36 
    37 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    38 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    39 supports input via ` (backquote).
    40 
    41 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    42 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    43 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    44 
    45 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    46 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    47 string token.  General renovation of its syntax using text cartouches.
    48 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    49 
    50 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary workaround for
    51 Isabelle/ML in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    52 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.  Potential
    53 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    54 
    55 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    56 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    57 
    58 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    59 not check existence within the file-system.
    60 
    61 * Updated and extended manuals: codegen, datatypes, implementation,
    62 isar-ref, jedit, system.
    63 
    64 
    65 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    66 
    67 * Improved Document panel: simplified interaction where every single
    68 mouse click (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit
    69 buffer.
    70 
    71 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons), with connection
    72 to PIDE hyperlinks.
    73 
    74 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
    75 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
    76 
    77 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
    78 auxiliary ML files.
    79 
    80 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism, with simple
    81 templates, completion language context, name-space completion,
    82 file-name completion, spell-checker completion.
    83 
    84 * Refined GUI popup for completion: more robust key/mouse event
    85 handling and propagation to enclosing text area -- avoid loosing
    86 keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
    87 
    88 * Completion popup supports both ENTER and TAB (default) to select an
    89 item, depending on Isabelle options.
    90 
    91 * Refined insertion of completion items wrt. jEdit text: multiple
    92 selections, rectangular selections, rectangular selection as "tall
    93 caret".
    94 
    95 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
    96 completion popup and context-menu.
    97 
    98 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
    99 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
   100 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
   101 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.
   102 
   103 * Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
   104 to highlight text via regular expression.
   105 
   106 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
   107 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
   108 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
   109 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
   110 
   111 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
   112 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   113 
   114 * Empty editors buffers that are no longer required (e.g.\ via theory
   115 imports) are automatically removed from the document model.
   116 
   117 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
   118 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.
   119 
   120 * Improved management of dockable windows: clarified keyboard focus
   121 and window placement wrt. main editor view; optional menu item to
   122 "Detach" a copy where this makes sense.
   123 
   124 * New Simplifier Trace panel provides an interactive view of the
   125 simplification process, enabled by the "simp_trace_new" attribute
   126 within the context.
   127 
   128 
   129 *** Pure ***
   130 
   131 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   132 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   133 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   134 'instance' command with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem
   135 might be postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof
   136 finished trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous
   137 (without any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   138 Axclass.class_axiomatization, Axclass.classrel_axiomatization,
   139 Axclass.arity_axiomatization.
   140 
   141 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   142 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   143 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   144 renaming needs to be applied:
   145 
   146   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   147   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   148   all            ~>  Pure.all
   149   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   150   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   151 
   152 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   153 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   154 old constants:
   155 
   156 setup {*
   157   fn thy => thy
   158     |> Sign.root_path
   159     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   160     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   161     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   162     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   163 *}
   164 
   165 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   166 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   167 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   168 
   169 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   170 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   171 instantiated theorem.
   172 
   173 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   174 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   175 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   176 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   177 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   178 
   179   attribute_setup standard =
   180     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   181 
   182 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   183 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   184 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   185 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   186 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   187 
   188 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   189 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   190 differently, e.g. via cartouches).
   191 
   192 * Command 'print_term_bindings' supersedes 'print_binds' for clarity,
   193 but the latter is retained some time as Proof General legacy.
   194 
   195 * Code generator preprocessor: explicit control of simp tracing on a
   196 per-constant basis.  See attribute "code_preproc".
   197 
   198 
   199 *** HOL ***
   200 
   201 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict target
   202 language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   203 
   204 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   206 
   207 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.  Minor
   208 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   209 
   210 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures"
   211 option.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   212 
   213 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   214 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   215 
   216 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   217 with the given constants.
   218 
   219 * Code generations are provided for make, fields, extend and truncate
   220 operations on records.
   221 
   222 * Command and antiquotation "value" are now hardcoded against nbe and
   223 ML.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   224 
   225 * Renamed command 'enriched_type' to 'functor'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   226 
   227 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   228 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   229 
   230 * Qualified String.implode and String.explode.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   231 
   232 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules can
   233 now deal with conjunctions.  For help with converting proofs, the old
   234 behaviour of the simplifier can be restored like this: declare/using
   235 [[simp_legacy_precond]].  This configuration option will disappear
   236 again in the future.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   237 
   238 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   239 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   240 
   241 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from session
   242   "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".  The commands 'bnf', 'wrap_free_constructors',
   243   'datatype_new', 'codatatype', 'primcorec', 'primcorecursive' are now
   244   part of theory "Main".

   279     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   280 
   281 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   282 
   283 * New (co)datatype package:
   284   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.
   285   - Command 'datatype_new' generates size functions ("size_xxx" and
   286     "size") as required by 'fun'.
   287   - BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style
   288     (co)datatypes with Transfer.
   289   - Renamed commands:
   290       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   291       primrec_new ~> primrec
   292       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   293     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   294   - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   295     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   296     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   297   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   298     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   299     using "prim(co)rec".
   300     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   301   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   302     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   303     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   304   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   305     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   306     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   307     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   308 
   309 * Old datatype package:
   310   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   311     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   312     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   313   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   314     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   315     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   316 
   317 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
   318   their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
   319   BNF-based datatype package.
   320 
   321   Renamed constants:
   322     Option.set ~> set_option
   323     Option.map ~> map_option
   324     option_rel ~> rel_option
   325 
   326   Renamed theorems:
   327     set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]
   328     map_def ~> map_rec[abs_def]
   329     Option.map_def ~> map_option_case[abs_def] (with "case_option" instead of "rec_option")

   350     vset ~> rel_vset (in "src/HOL/Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   351 
   352 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   353 
   354 * Lifting and Transfer:
   355   - a type variable as a raw type is supported
   356   - stronger reflexivity prover
   357   - rep_eq is always generated by lift_definition
   358   - setup for Lifting/Transfer is now automated for BNFs 
   359     + holds for BNFs that do not contain a dead variable
   360     + relator_eq, relator_mono, relator_distr, relator_domain, 
   361       relator_eq_onp, quot_map, transfer rules for bi_unique, bi_total,
   362       right_unique, right_total, left_unique, left_total are proved
   363       automatically
   364     + definition of a predicator is generated automatically
   365     + simplification rules for a predicator definition are proved
   366       automatically for datatypes
   367   - consolidation of the setup of Lifting/Transfer
   368     + property that a relator preservers reflexivity is not needed any 
   369       more
   370       Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   371     + left_total and left_unique rules are now transfer rules 
   372       (reflexivity_rule attribute not needed anymore)
   373       INCOMPATIBILITY.
   374     + Domainp does not have to be a separate assumption in 
   375       relator_domain theorems (=> more natural statement)
   376       INCOMPATIBILITY.
   377   - registration of code equations is more robust
   378     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   379   - respectfulness proof obligation is preprocessed to a more readable
   380     form
   381     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   382   - eq_onp is always unfolded in respectfulness proof obligation
   383     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   384   - unregister lifting setup for Code_Numeral.integer and 
   385     Code_Numeral.natural
   386     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   387   - Lifting.invariant -> eq_onp
   388     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   389     
   390 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   391 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   392 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   393 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   394 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   395 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   396 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   397 
   398 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   399 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   400 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   401 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   402 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   403 
   404 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   405 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   406 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   407 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   408 
   409 * Sledgehammer:
   410   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   411   - MaSh overhaul:
   412     . New SML-based learning algorithms eliminate the dependency on
   413       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   414     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
   415       traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
   416       MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
   417       Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
   418   - New option:
   419       smt_proofs
   420   - Renamed options:
   421       isar_compress ~> compress
   422       isar_try0 ~> try0
   423 
   424 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   425 
   426 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   427 
   428 * Nitpick:
   429   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   430     take infinite values.
   431   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   432     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   433   - Removed "std" option.
   434   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   435     "hide_types".
   436 
   437 * Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
   438 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   439 
   440 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   441 
   442 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   443   - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   444   - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
   445     SUP instead uniformly.
   446   - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   447     or SUP and Sup.
   448   - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   449   - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   450   - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
   451     simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
   452     INT_cong, SUP_cong
   453 
   454 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   455 
   456 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.

   610 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   611 
   612 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   613   - Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   614   - Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   615   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   616     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   617   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   618     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   619   - Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

   660 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   661 
   662 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
   663 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
   664 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,

   666 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
   667 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly have
   668 been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and field_simps.
   669 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   670 
   671 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   672 
   673 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   674 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   675 
   676 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   677 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   678 
   679 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   680 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   681 or the brute way with
   682 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   683 
   684 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   685 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   686 stating boundedness of sets.
   687 
   688 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   689 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   690 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   691

   716 
   717 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:
   718   - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"
   719 
   720   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   721 
   722   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   723 
   724   - removed constant isDiff
   725 
   726   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   727     input syntax.
   728 
   729   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.
   730 
   731   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   732 
   733   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   734 
   735   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   736 
   737   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   738     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   739     has_vector_derivative.
   740

   749 
   750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   751 
   752 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
   753 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   754 in continuous_intros.
   755 
   756 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   757 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   758 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   759 
   760 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   761 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
   762 especially removes
   763 
   764     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   765 
   766 Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   767     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"

   801 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   802 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   803 
   804 * HOL-Library: new theory src/HOL/Library/Tree.thy.
   805 
   806 * HOL-Library: removed theory src/HOL/Library/Kleene_Algebra.thy; it
   807 is subsumed by session Kleene_Algebra in AFP.
   808 
   809 * HOL-Library: RBT.thy: various constants and facts are hidden; 
   810   lifting setup is unregistered
   811   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   812 
   813 * HOL-Cardinals: new theory src/HOL/Cardinals/Ordinal_Arithmetic.thy.
   814 
   815 * HOL-Word: bit representations prefer type bool over type bit.
   816 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   817 
   818 * HOL-Word:
   819   - Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a duplicate
   820     of "word_arith_wis".
   821   - Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
   822     "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
   823     "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   824 
   825 * HOL-Number_Theory:
   826   - consolidated the proofs of the binomial theorem
   827   - the function fib is again of type nat => nat and not overloaded
   828   - no more references to Old_Number_Theory in the HOL libraries
   829     (except the AFP)
   830 
   831 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   832 
   833 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   834   - Type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces.
   835   - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   836     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   837   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   838     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   839     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   840     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   841     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   842     intervals.
   843   - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
   844     introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space

   968     lebesgue_integral_cmult

   971     integral_cmul_indicator
   972     integral_real
   973 
   974   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   975     distributed random variables.
   976 
   977 * HOL-Decision_Procs: Separate command 'approximate' for approximative
   978 computation in src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor
   979 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   980 
   981 
   982 *** Scala ***
   983 
   984 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   985 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   986 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   987 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   988 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   989 
   990 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   991 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   992 
   993 
   994 *** ML ***
   995 
   996 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   997 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   998 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   999 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
  1000 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
  1001 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
  1002 
  1003 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
  1004 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
  1005 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
  1006 actually belongs to it).
  1007 
  1008 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
  1009 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
  1010 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
  1011 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
  1012 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
  1013 of schematic variables.
  1014 
  1015 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
  1016 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1017 
  1018 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
  1019 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
  1020 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1021 
  1022 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
  1023 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1024 
  1025 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
  1026 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
  1027 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
  1028 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1029 
  1030 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
  1031 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1032 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
  1033 formal context.
  1034 
  1035 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
  1036 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1037 
  1038 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
  1039 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
  1040 
  1041 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
  1042 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
  1043 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
  1044 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
  1045 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
  1046 
  1047 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
  1048 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
  1049 purposes.
  1050 
  1051 
  1052 *** System ***
  1053 
  1054 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
  1055 Isabelle component, e.g. see ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
  1056 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  Note that
  1057 the "system" manual provides general explanations about add-on
  1058 components, especially those that are not bundled with the release.
  1059 
  1060 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
  1061 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
  1062 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
  1063 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
  1064 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the ISABELLE_PROCESS
  1065 settings variable.
  1066 
  1067 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
  1068 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
  1069 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
  1070 
  1071 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
  1072 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
  1073 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
  1074 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
  1075 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
  1076 
  1077 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
  1078 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
  1079 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
  1080 
  1081 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
  1082 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
  1083 
  1084 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
  1085 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
  1086 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
  1087 
  1088 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
  1089 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
  1090 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
  1091 processing is started.
  1092 
  1093 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
  1094 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
  1095 
  1096 
  1097 
  1098 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
  1099 -------------------------------------
  1100 
  1101 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1102 
  1103 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
  1104 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
  1105 
  1106 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
  1107 after edits surrounding the command location.
  1108 
  1109 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
  1110 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
  1111 e.g. out-of-memory).
  1112 
  1113 
  1114 *** System ***
  1115 
  1116 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
  1117 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
  1118 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
  1119 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
  1120 
  1121 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
  1122 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
  1123 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
  1124 
  1125 
  1126 
  1127 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
  1128 -------------------------------------
  1129 
  1130 *** General ***
  1131 
  1132 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
  1133 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
  1134 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1135 
  1136 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1137 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1138 
  1139 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1140 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1141 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1142 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1143 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1144 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1145 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1146 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1147 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1148 syntax.
  1149 
  1150 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1151 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1152 
  1153 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1154 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1155 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1156 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1157 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1158 
  1159 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1160 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1161 
  1162 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1163 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1164 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1165 
  1166 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1167 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1168 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1169 
  1170 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1171 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1172 
  1173 
  1174 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1175 
  1176 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1177 Documentation panel.
  1178 
  1179 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1180 documentation.
  1181 
  1182 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1183 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1184 
  1185 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1186 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1187 normal editing and checking process.
  1188 
  1189 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1190 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1191 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1192 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1193 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1194 
  1195 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1196 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1197 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1198 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1199 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1200 
  1201 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1202 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1203 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1204 
  1205 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1206 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1207 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1208 to resolve conflict.
  1209 
  1210 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1211 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1212 
  1213 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1214 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1215 such command executions while editing.
  1216 
  1217 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1218 document content.
  1219 
  1220 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1221 toplevel theorem statements.
  1222 
  1223 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1224 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1225 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1226 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1227 
  1228 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1229 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1230 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1231 
  1232 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1233 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1234 
  1235 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1236 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1237 
  1238 
  1239 *** Pure ***
  1240 
  1241 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1242 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1243 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1244 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1245 details.
  1246 
  1247 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1248 
  1249 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1250 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1251 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1252 
  1253 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1254 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1255 
  1256 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1257 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1258 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1259 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1260 
  1261 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1262 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1263 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1264 
  1265 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1266 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1267 
  1268 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1269 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1270 situations.
  1271 
  1272 
  1273 *** HOL ***
  1274 
  1275 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1276 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1277 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1278 
  1279 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1280 
  1281 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1282 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1283 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1284 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1285 
  1286   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1287 
  1288 * Code generator:
  1289   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1290     'code_instance'.
  1291   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1292     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1293 
  1294 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1295 examples.
  1296 
  1297 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1298 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1299 to distinguish both when desired.
  1300 
  1301 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1302 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1303 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1304 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1305 
  1306 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1307 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1308 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1309 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1310 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1311 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1312 
  1313 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1314 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1315 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1316 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1317 
  1318 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1319 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1320 
  1321 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1322 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1323 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1324 
  1325 * Lifting:
  1326   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1327     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1328       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1329       transfer rules
  1330     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1331       correspondence relation can be generated
  1332     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1333       parametricity
  1334     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1335   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1336   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1337     copies
  1338   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1339     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1340     anonymous context)
  1341   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1342     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1343   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1344     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1345   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1346     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1347 
  1348 * Transfer:
  1349   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1350     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1351   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1352   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1353     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1354   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1355 
  1356 * Reification and reflection:
  1357   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1358     "Reification".
  1359   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1360   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1361 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1362 
  1363 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1364   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1365     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1366     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1367   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1368     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1369   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1370     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1371     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1372     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1373     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1374     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1375     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1376     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1377   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1378     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1379   - Fact renames:
  1380       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1381       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1382 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1383 
  1384 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1385 
  1386 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1387 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1388 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1389 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1390 
  1391 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1392 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1393 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1394 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1395 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1396 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1397 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1398 lemmas.
  1399 
  1400 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1401 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1402 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1403 
  1404 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1405 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1406 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1407 
  1408 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1409 top and bottom elements.
  1410 
  1411 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1412 
  1413 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1414 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1415 
  1416  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1417    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1418    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1419 
  1420  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1421    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1422    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1423 
  1424    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1425    arbitrary filter.
  1426 
  1427  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1428    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1429    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1430    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1431    on a compact set.
  1432 
  1433  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1434    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1435    linear_continuum_topology).
  1436 
  1437  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1438    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1439    on all sequences converging to x.
  1440 
  1441  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1442    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1443    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1444    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1445    left or right.
  1446 
  1447  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1448 
  1449      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1450 
  1451  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1452    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1453 
  1454  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1455    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1456    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1457    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1458    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1459    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1460 
  1461  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1462 
  1463    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1464 
  1465    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1466      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1467 
  1468    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1469 
  1470    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1471      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1472 
  1473    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1474 
  1475    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1476 
  1477  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1478 
  1479 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1480 
  1481 * Nitpick:
  1482   - Added option "spy".
  1483   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1484 
  1485 * Sledgehammer:
  1486   - Renamed option:
  1487       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1488     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1489   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1490   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1491   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1492 
  1493 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1494 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1495 
  1496 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1497   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1498   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1499     generated code.
  1500   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1501   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1502   - Fact renames:
  1503     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1504     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1505     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1506 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1507 
  1508 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1509 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1510 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1511 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1512 
  1513 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1514 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1515 
  1516 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1517 
  1518 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1519 
  1520     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1521     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1522 
  1523 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1524 
  1525 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1526 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1527 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1528 
  1529 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1530 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1531 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1532 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1533 
  1534 * HOL-BNF:
  1535   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1536     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1537     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1538     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1539   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1540     coinduct).
  1541   - Renamed keywords:
  1542     data ~> datatype_new
  1543     codata ~> codatatype
  1544     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1545   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1546     discs ~> disc
  1547     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1548     map_id' ~> map_id
  1549     sels ~> sel
  1550     set_map' ~> set_map
  1551     sets ~> set
  1552 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1553 
  1554 
  1555 *** ML ***
  1556 
  1557 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1558 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1559 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1560 Examples.thy in particular.
  1561 
  1562 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1563 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1564 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1565 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1566 
  1567 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1568 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1569 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1570 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1571 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1572 
  1573 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1574 
  1575     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1576     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1577 
  1578 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1579 
  1580 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1581 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1582 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1583 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1584 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1585 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1586 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1587 
  1588 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1589 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1590 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1591 clasets separately from the context.
  1592 
  1593 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1594 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1595 
  1596 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1597 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1598 
  1599 
  1600 *** System ***
  1601 
  1602 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1603 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1604 
  1605 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1606 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1607 
  1608 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1609 settings variable.
  1610 
  1611 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1612 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1613 always pdf.
  1614 
  1615 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1616 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1617 
  1618 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1619 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1620 
  1621 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1622 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1623 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1624 
  1625 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1626 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1627 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1628 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1629 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1630 for HTML presentation of theories.

  1634 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1635 -----------------------------------
  1636 
  1637 *** General ***
  1638 
  1639 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1640 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1641 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1642 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1643 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1644 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1645 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1646 
  1647 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1648 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1649 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1650 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1651 
  1652 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1653 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1654 
  1655 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1656 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1657 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1658 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1659 dependencies properly.
  1660 
  1661 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1662 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1663 
  1664 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1665 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1666 
  1667 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1668 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1669 and "class ... context ...".
  1670 
  1671 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1672 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1673 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1674 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1675 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1676 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1677 
  1678 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1679 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1680 
  1681 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1682 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1683 
  1684 
  1685 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1686 
  1687 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1688 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1689 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1690 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1691 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1692 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1693 
  1694 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1695 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1696 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1697 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1698 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1699 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1700 
  1701 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1702 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1703 browser on demand.
  1704 
  1705 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1706 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1707 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1708 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1709 
  1710 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1711 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1712 
  1713 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1714 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1715 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1716 potentially infinite message streams.
  1717 
  1718 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1719 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1720 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1721 schemes.
  1722 
  1723 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1724 symbols.
  1725 
  1726 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1727 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1728 
  1729 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1730 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1731 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1732 
  1733 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1734 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1735 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1736 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1737 
  1738 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1739 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1740 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1741 
  1742 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1743 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1744 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1745 Isabelle distribution.
  1746 
  1747 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1748 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1749 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1750 
  1751 
  1752 *** Pure ***
  1753 
  1754 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1755 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1756 
  1757 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1758 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1759 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1760 
  1761 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1762 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1763 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1764 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1765 with some care where this is really required.
  1766 
  1767 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1768 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1769 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1770 
  1771   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1772 
  1773 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1774 a Hasse diagram.
  1775 
  1776 
  1777 *** HOL ***
  1778 
  1779 * Sledgehammer:
  1780 
  1781   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1782     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1783   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1784   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1785   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1786   - Renamed options:
  1787       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1788       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1789       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1790       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1791 
  1792 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1793 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1794 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1795 
  1796 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1797 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1798 
  1799 * Lifting:
  1800   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1801   - quot_del attribute
  1802   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1803 
  1804 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1805 expressions.
  1806 
  1807 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1808 pointfree expressions.
  1809 
  1810 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1811 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1812 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1813 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1814 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1815 
  1816 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1817 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1818 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1819 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1820 accordingly.
  1821 
  1822 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1823 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1824 
  1825 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1826 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1827 
  1828 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1829 
  1830 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1831 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1832 
  1833 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1834 
  1835 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1836 
  1837   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1838   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1839 
  1840 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1841 
  1842 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1843 
  1844   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1845   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1846 
  1847 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1848 
  1849 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1850 
  1851   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1852     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1853     output f x converges to G.
  1854 
  1855   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1856     infinity (at_bot).
  1857 
  1858   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1859     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1860 
  1861   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1862     at_top".
  1863 
  1864 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1865 
  1866 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1867 lattice type classes.
  1868 
  1869 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1870 
  1871     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1872     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1873 
  1874 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1875 
  1876 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1877 changes as follows.
  1878 
  1879   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1880 
  1881       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1882       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1883 
  1884   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1885     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1886     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1887     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1888 
  1889   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1890     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1891     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1892 
  1893   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1894     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1895     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1896     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1897 
  1898   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1899     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1900 
  1901       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1902       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1903       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1904       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1905       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1906       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1907       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1908       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1909       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1910       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1911       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1912       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1913       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1914       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1915       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1916       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1917 
  1918 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1919 
  1920 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1921 
  1922 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1923 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1924 
  1925 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1926 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1927 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1928 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1929 
  1930   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1931   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1932   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1933   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1934   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1935   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1936   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1937   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1938   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1939   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1940 
  1941 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1942 
  1943 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1944 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1945 Data").
  1946 
  1947 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1948 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1949 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1950 code.
  1951 
  1952 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1953 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1954 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1955 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1956 
  1957 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1958 
  1959 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1960 
  1961 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1962 
  1963   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1964   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1965 
  1966 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1967 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1968 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1969 
  1970   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1971 
  1972     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1973     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1974     cart_base i  removed
  1975     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1976 
  1977   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1978 
  1979   Renamed lemmas:
  1980 
  1981     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1982     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1983     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1984     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1985     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1986     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1987     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1988     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1989     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1990     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1991 
  1992 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1993 
  1994 * HOL/Probability:
  1995 
  1996   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1997 
  1998   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1999     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  2000     (borel_measurable_induct).
  2001 
  2002   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  2003     projective family).
  2004 
  2005 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  2006 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  2007 
  2008 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  2009 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  2010 datatypes.
  2011 
  2012 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  2013 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  2014 
  2015 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  2016 trees for the code generator.
  2017 
  2018 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  2019 Lifting/Transfer.
  2020 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2021 
  2022 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  2023 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2024 
  2025 
  2026 *** Document preparation ***
  2027 
  2028 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  2029 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  2030 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  2031 
  2032 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  2033 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  2034 
  2035 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  2036 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  2037 document/root.tex.
  2038 
  2039 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  2040 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2041 
  2042 
  2043 *** ML ***
  2044 
  2045 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  2046 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  2047 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  2048 
  2049 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  2050 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  2051 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  2052 
  2053 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  2054 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  2055 necessarily printing visible text.
  2056 
  2057 
  2058 *** System ***
  2059 
  2060 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  2061 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  2062 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  2063 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  2064 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  2065 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  2066 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  2067 
  2068 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  2069 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  2070 
  2071   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  2072 
  2073 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  2074 
  2075 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  2076 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  2077 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  2078 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  2079 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  2080 
  2081 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  2082 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  2083 
  2084 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  2085 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  2086 
  2087 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  2088 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2089 
  2090 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  2091 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  2092 version of Isabelle.
  2093 
  2094 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  2095 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  2096 
  2097 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  2098 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  2099 for home-made settings.
  2100 
  2101 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  2102 
  2103 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  2104 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  2105 configuration.
  2106 
  2107 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  2108 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  2109 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  2110 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  2111 bundled as Isabelle component.
  2112 
  2113 
  2114 
  2115 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  2116 ------------------------------
  2117 
  2118 *** General ***
  2119 
  2120 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  2121 
  2122   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  2123     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  2124   - markup for bound variables
  2125   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  2126   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  2127   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  2128     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  2129 
  2130 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  2131 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  2132 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  2133 
  2134 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2135 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2136 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2137 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2138 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2139 
  2140   context
  2141     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2142     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2143   begin
  2144 
  2145   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2146 
  2147   end
  2148 
  2149   thm my_trans
  2150 
  2151 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2152 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2153 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2154 
  2155 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2156 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2157 
  2158 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2159 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2160 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2161 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2162 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2163 
  2164 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2165 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2166 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2167 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2168 indices of schematic variables.
  2169 
  2170 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2171 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2172 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2173 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2174 etc. was exploited.
  2175 
  2176 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2177 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2178 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2179 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2180 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2181 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2182 
  2183 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2184 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2185 manual.
  2186 
  2187 
  2188 *** Pure ***
  2189 
  2190 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2191 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2192 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2193 
  2194 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2195 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2196 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2197 undocumented feature.)
  2198 
  2199 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2200 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2201 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2202 
  2203   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2204 
  2205   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2206     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2207 
  2208 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2209 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2210 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2211 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2212 
  2213 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2214 
  2215     num ~> num_token
  2216     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2217     xstr ~> str_token
  2218 
  2219 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2220 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2221 position information via constraints).
  2222 
  2223 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2224 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2225 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2226 
  2227 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2228 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2229 
  2230 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2231 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2232 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2233 
  2234 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2235 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2236 
  2237 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2238 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2239 
  2240   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2241 
  2242 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2243 
  2244 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2245 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2246 
  2247 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2248 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2249 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2250 
  2251 
  2252 *** HOL ***
  2253 
  2254 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2255 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2256 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2257 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2258 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2259 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2260 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2261 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2262 possible.
  2263 
  2264 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2265 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2266 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2267 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2268 
  2269 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2270 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2271 
  2272 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2273 
  2274 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2275 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2276 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2277 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2278 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2279 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2280 
  2281   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2282     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2283 
  2284   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2285     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2286     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2287 
  2288   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2289     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2290 
  2291   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2292     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2293     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2294 
  2295   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2296     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2297 
  2298 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2299 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2300 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2301 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2302 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2303 
  2304   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2305     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2306     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2307     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2308     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2309 
  2310     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2311     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2312 
  2313   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2314     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2315     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2316     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2317     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2318     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2319     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2320     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2321 
  2322   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2323     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2324     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2325     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2326 
  2327   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2328     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2329     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2330     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2331 
  2332   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2333     from type nat to type int.
  2334 
  2335 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2336 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2337 
  2338   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2339     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2340     type.  Example syntax:
  2341 
  2342     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2343       is List.insert
  2344 
  2345     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2346     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2347     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2348     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2349     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2350     by the package.
  2351 
  2352   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2353     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2354     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2355     code generation for each constant.
  2356 
  2357   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2358     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2359     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2360     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2361     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2362 
  2363   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2364     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2365     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2366 
  2367 * Quotient package:
  2368 
  2369   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2370     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2371 
  2372   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2373     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2374 
  2375   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2376     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2377     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2378 
  2379   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2380     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2381 
  2382 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2383 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2384 
  2385 * Quickcheck:
  2386 
  2387   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2388     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2389     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2390     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2391     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2392 
  2393     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2394     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2395     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2396 
  2397     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2398     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2399 
  2400     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2401     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2402     show genuine counterexamples.
  2403 
  2404   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2405     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2406 
  2407     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2408     constructors of that type.
  2409 
  2410   - Support for multisets.
  2411 
  2412   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2413 
  2414   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2415     conjectures in a locale context.
  2416 
  2417 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2418 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2419 
  2420 * Sledgehammer:
  2421   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2422     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2423   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2424   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2425     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2426   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2427   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2428   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2429   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2430 
  2431 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2432 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2433 
  2434 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2435 
  2436 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2437 
  2438 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2439 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2440 
  2441   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2442 
  2443 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2444 a list and a nat.
  2445 
  2446 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2447 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2448 
  2449 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2450 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2451 default.
  2452 
  2453 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2454 
  2455   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2456 
  2457 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2458 
  2459 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2460 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2461 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2462 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2463 one_case.
  2464 
  2465 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2466 the result of the fact expression.
  2467 
  2468 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2469 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2470 of some relation theorems:
  2471 
  2472   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2473   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2474   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2475   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2476   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2477   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2478 
  2479 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2480 
  2481 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2482 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2483 
  2484 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2485 
  2486 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2487 to match the constant's name:
  2488 
  2489   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2490   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2491   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2492   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2493   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2494   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2495   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2496   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2497   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2498   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2499   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2500   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2501   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2502   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2503   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2504   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2505   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2506   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2507   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2508   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2509   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2510   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2511   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2512   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2513 
  2514 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2515 
  2516 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2517 and corresponding theorem names:
  2518 
  2519   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2520 
  2521   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2522 
  2523   - Renamed theorems:
  2524 
  2525     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2526     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2527     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  2528     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  2529     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  2530     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  2531     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  2532     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  2533     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  2534     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  2535     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2

  2921 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2922 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2923 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2924 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2925 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2926 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2927 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2928 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2929 
  2930 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2931 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2932 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2933 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2934 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2935 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2936 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2937 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2938 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2939 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2940 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2941 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2942 
  2943   Renamed constants:

  2947   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  2963 
  2964   Removed constants:

  2966   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  2967   image_space
  2968   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  3103 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  3104 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  3105 
  3106 
  3107 *** FOL ***
  3108 
  3109 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  3110 
  3111 
  3112 *** ZF ***
  3113 
  3114 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  3115 analysis.
  3116 
  3117 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  3118 
  3119 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3120 
  3121 
  3122 *** ML ***
  3123 
  3124 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  3125 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  3126 
  3127 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  3128 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  3129 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  3130 
  3131 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  3132 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  3133 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  3134 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3135 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3136 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3137 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3138 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3139 
  3140 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3141 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3142 
  3143 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3144 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3145 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3146 
  3147 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3148 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3149 
  3150 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3151 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3152 context as well.
  3153 
  3154 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3155 
  3156   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3157   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3158   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3159   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong

  3164   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3165   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3166   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3167   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3168 
  3169 
  3170 *** System ***
  3171 
  3172 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3173 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3174 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3175 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3176 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3177 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3178 the generic user home was intended.
  3179 
  3180 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3181 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3182 
  3183 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3184 (not just JRE).
  3185 
  3186 
  3187 
  3188 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3189 ------------------------------------
  3190 
  3191 *** General ***
  3192 
  3193 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3194 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3195 
  3196   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3197     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3198     files for checking).
  3199 
  3200   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3201     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3202     positions.
  3203 
  3204   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3205     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3206     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3207 
  3208   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3209     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3210     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3211 
  3212   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3213     cores.
  3214 
  3215   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3216     versions (garbage collection).
  3217 
  3218 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3219 including some remaining limitations.
  3220 
  3221 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3222 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3223 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3224 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3225 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3226 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3227 
  3228 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3229 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3230 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3231 
  3232 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3233 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3234 usedir option -Q.
  3235 
  3236 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3237 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3238 
  3239   long_names   ~> names_long
  3240   short_names  ~> names_short
  3241   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3242 
  3243 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3244 
  3245   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3246 
  3247 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3248 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3249 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3250 
  3251 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3252 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3253 
  3254 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3255   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3256   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3257   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3258     "Classical Reasoner".
  3259 
  3260 
  3261 *** HOL ***
  3262 
  3263 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3264 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3265 
  3266 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3267 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3268 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3269 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3270 class complete_linorder.
  3271 
  3272 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3273 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3274 
  3275 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3276 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3277 
  3278   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3279   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3280   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3281   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3282   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3283   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right

  3310 
  3311 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3312 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3313 
  3314 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3315 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3316 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3317 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3318 
  3319 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3320 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3321 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3322 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3323 
  3324 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3325 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3326 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3327 
  3328 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3329 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3330 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3331 
  3332 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3333 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3334 
  3335 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3336 
  3337     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3338     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3339 
  3340 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3341 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3342 
  3343 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3344 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3345 
  3346 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3347 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3348 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3349 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3445 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3446 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3447 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3448 
  3449 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3450 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3451 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3452 
  3453 * Code generation:
  3454 
  3455   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3456     characters in the target language.
  3457 
  3458   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3459     instead.
  3460 
  3461   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3462 
  3463   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3464     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3465 
  3466       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3467 
  3468 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3469 
  3470 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3471 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3472 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3473 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3474 syntax.
  3475 
  3476 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3477 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3478 
  3479 * Nitpick:
  3480   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3481   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3482   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3483     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3484 
  3485 * Sledgehammer:
  3486   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3487   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3488     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3489   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3490     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3491   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3492     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3493   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3494     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3495   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3496     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3497 
  3498 * Metis:
  3499   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3500   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3501     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3502 
  3503 * Command 'try':
  3504   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3505     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3506   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3507     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3508 
  3509 * Quickcheck:
  3510   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3511     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3512   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3513     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3514   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3515     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3516     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3517     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3518   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3519     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3520 
  3521 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3522 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3523 
  3524 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3525 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3526 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3527 
  3528 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3529 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3530 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3531 
  3532 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3533 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3534 
  3535 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3536 arithmetic.
  3537 
  3538 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3539 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3540 and lattice type classes.
  3541 
  3542 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3543 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3544 
  3545 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3546 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3547 
  3548 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3549 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3550 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3551 
  3552   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3553   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3554   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3555   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3556 
  3557 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3558 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3559 constants:
  3560 
  3561   type inat   ~> type enat
  3562   Fin         ~> enat
  3563   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3564   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3565   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3566 
  3567 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3568 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3569 
  3570 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3571 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3572 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3573 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3574 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3575 
  3576 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3577 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3578 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3579 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3580 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3581 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3582 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3583 
  3584   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3585   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3586   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3587   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3588 
  3589 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3590 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3591 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3645 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3646   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3647   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3648   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3649   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3650     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3681 *** Document preparation ***
  3682 
  3683 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3684 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3685 same.
  3686 
  3687 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3688 result.
  3689 
  3690 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3691 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3692 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3693 
  3694 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3695 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3696 
  3697 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3698 like this:
  3699 
  3700   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3701   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3702 
  3703 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3704 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3705 layouts.
  3706 
  3707 
  3708 *** ML ***
  3709 
  3710 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3711 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3712 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3713 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3714 under external program control.
  3715 
  3716 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3717 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3718 
  3719 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3720 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3721 (better known as Proof General).
  3722 
  3723 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3724 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3725 
  3726 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3727 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3728 
  3729 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3730 (including quotes etc.).
  3731 
  3732 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3733 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3734 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3735 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3736 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3737 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3738 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3739 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3740 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3741 
  3742 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3743 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3744 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3745 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3746 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3747 
  3748 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3749 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3750 
  3751 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3752 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3753 
  3754 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3755 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3756 
  3757 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3758 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3759 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3760 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3761 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3762 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3763 proper Proof.context.
  3764 
  3765 
  3766 *** System ***
  3767 
  3768 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3769 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3770 
  3771 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3772 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3773 
  3774 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3775 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3776 
  3777   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3778   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3779   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3780   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3781   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3782 
  3783 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3784 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3785 
  3786 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3787 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3788 example:
  3789 
  3790   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3791 
  3792 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3793 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3794 
  3795 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3796 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3797 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3798 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3799 
  3800 
  3801 
  3802 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3803 ----------------------------------
  3804 
  3805 *** General ***
  3806 
  3807 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3808 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3809 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3810 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3811 like this:
  3812 
  3813   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3814 
  3815 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3816 
  3817 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3818 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3819 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3820 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3821 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3822 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3823 
  3824 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3825 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3826 the following package declarations:
  3827 
  3828   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3829   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3830 
  3831 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3832 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3833 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3834 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3835 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3836 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3837 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3838 
  3839 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3840 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3841 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3842 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3843 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3844 
  3845 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3846 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3847 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3848 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3849 
  3850 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3851 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3852 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3853 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3854 
  3855   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3856 
  3857   eta_contract                  eta_contract
  3858   show_brackets                 show_brackets
  3859   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  3860   show_types                    show_types
  3861   show_question_marks           show_question_marks
  3862   show_consts                   show_consts
  3863   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  3864 
  3865   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  3866   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  3867   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3868 
  3869   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3870   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3871 
  3872   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3873 
  3874   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  3875   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  3876   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3877   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3878   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3879 
  3880 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3881 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3882 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3883 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3884 
  3885 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3886 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3887 
  3888   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3889   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3890 
  3891 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3892 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3893 float_token.
  3894 
  3895 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3896 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3897 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3898 
  3899 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3900 DejaVu Sans.
  3901 
  3902 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3903 
  3904 
  3905 *** Pure ***
  3906 
  3907 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3908 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3909 time.
  3910 
  3911 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3912 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3913 
  3914 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3915 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3916 
  3917 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3918 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3919 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3920 command already provided this functionality.
  3921 
  3922 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3923 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3924 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3925 without interpretations.
  3926 
  3927 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3928 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3929 
  3930 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3931 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3932 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3933 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3934 
  3935 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3936 'definition' instead.
  3937 
  3938 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3939 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3940 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3941 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3942 
  3943 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3944 constructors.
  3945 
  3946 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3947 the local file system.
  3948 
  3949 
  3950 *** HOL ***
  3951 
  3952 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3953 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3954 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3955 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3956 
  3957   declare [[coercion f]]
  3958 
  3959 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3960 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3961 
  3962   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3963 
  3964 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3965 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3966 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3967 other theories like this:
  3968 
  3969   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3970 
  3971 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3972 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3973 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3974 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3975 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3976 for examples.
  3977 
  3978 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3979 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3980 
  3981 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3982 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3983 
  3984 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3985 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3986 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3987 
  3988 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3989 functorial structure of types.
  3990 
  3991 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3992 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3993 
  3994 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3995 languages.
  3996 
  3997 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3998 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3999 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4000 
  4001 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  4002 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4003 
  4004 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  4005 combinators any longer.
  4006 
  4007 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  4008 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  4009 
  4010 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  4011 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  4012 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  4013 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  4014 
  4015   record 'a foo = ...
  4016   ...
  4017   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  4018 
  4019 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  4020 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  4021 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4022 
  4023 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  4024 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  4025 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  4026 
  4027 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  4028 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  4029 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  4030 
  4031 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  4032 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4033 
  4034 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  4035 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  4036 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  4037 independently.
  4038 
  4039 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  4040 counter example search.
  4041 
  4042 * Sledgehammer:
  4043   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  4044     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  4045     sledgehammer").
  4046   - Renamed commands:
  4047     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  4048     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  4049     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  4050     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4051   - Renamed options:
  4052     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  4053     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  4054     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  4055     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  4056     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4057 
  4058 * Nitpick:
  4059   - Renamed options:
  4060     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  4061     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  4062     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4063   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  4064   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  4065   - Added "whack" option.
  4066   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  4067   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  4068   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  4069   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  4070     higher cardinalities.
  4071   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  4072 
  4073 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  4074 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  4075 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  4076 
  4077     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  4078 
  4079 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  4080 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  4081 
  4082 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  4083 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  4084 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  4085 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  4086 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  4087 "smt_solver".
  4088 
  4089 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  4090 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  4091 
  4092 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  4093 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  4094 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  4095 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4096 
  4097 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  4098   - Renamed:
  4099     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  4100     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  4101     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4102   - Added:
  4103     smt_verbose
  4104     smt_random_seed
  4105     smt_datatypes
  4106     smt_infer_triggers
  4107     smt_monomorph_limit
  4108     cvc3_options
  4109     remote_cvc3_options
  4110     remote_z3_options
  4111     yices_options
  4112 
  4113 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  4114 header.
  4115 
  4116 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  4117 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  4118 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  4119 
  4120   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  4121 
  4122 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4123 
  4124 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  4125 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4126 
  4127 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4128 
  4129 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  4130 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4131 
  4132 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  4133 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  4134 
  4135 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4136 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4137 
  4138 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4139 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4140 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4141 
  4142 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4143 
  4144 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4145 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4146 
  4147 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4148 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4149 
  4150 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4151 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4152 for congruent(2)).
  4153 
  4154 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4155 
  4156   types
  4157     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4158     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4159 
  4160   constants

  4162     True ~> HOL.True
  4163     False ~> HOL.False
  4164     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4165     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4166     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4167     op = ~> HOL.eq

  4182     op : ~> Set.member
  4183     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4184 
  4185 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4186 
  4187 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4188 
  4189     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4190     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4191     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4192     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4193     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4194     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4195     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4196     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4197 
  4198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4199 
  4200 * More stylized fact names:
  4201 
  4202   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4203   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4204   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4205   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4206 
  4207 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4208 
  4209 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4210 
  4211   constants
  4212     null ~> List.null
  4213 
  4214   facts
  4215     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4216     null_empty ~> null_def
  4217 
  4218 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4219 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4220 generation.
  4221 
  4222 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4223 Haskell code.
  4224 
  4225 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4226 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4227 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4228 
  4229 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4230 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4231 
  4232 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4233 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4234 
  4235 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4236 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4237 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4238 
  4239 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4240 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4241 
  4242 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4243 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4244 
  4245 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4246 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4247 referred to by its qualified name.
  4248 
  4249   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4250   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4251   product ~>  Enum.product
  4252 
  4253 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4254 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4255 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4256 
  4257 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4258 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4259 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4260 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4261 
  4262 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4263 sort_key.
  4264 
  4265 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4266 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4267 
  4268 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4269 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4270 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4271 
  4272   types
  4273     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4274               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4275               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4276         (depends on your needs)
  4277 
  4278   constants
  4279      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4280      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4281      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4282 
  4283 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4284 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4285 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4286 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4287 
  4288 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4289 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4290 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4291 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4292 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4293 
  4294 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4295 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4296 
  4297 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4298 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4299 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4300 
  4301 
  4302 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4303 
  4304 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4305 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4306 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4307 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4308 compatibility.
  4309 
  4310 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4311 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4312 
  4313 
  4314 *** HOLCF ***
  4315 
  4316 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4317 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4318 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4319 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4320 
  4321 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4322 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4323 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4324 
  4325   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4326   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4327   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4328 
  4329 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4330 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4331 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4332 
  4333 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4334 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4335 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4336 domain definition now works:
  4337 
  4338   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4339 
  4340 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4341 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4342 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4343 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4344 
  4345   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4346     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4347 
  4348   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4349 
  4350 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4351 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4352 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4353 
  4354 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4355 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4356 
  4357 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4358 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4359 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4360 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4361 
  4362 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4363 
  4364 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4365 
  4366 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4367 
  4368 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4369 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4370 
  4371 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4372 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4373 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4374 
  4375 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4376 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4377 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4378 
  4379 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4380 still supported as an input translation.
  4381 
  4382 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4383 
  4384   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4385   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4386   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4387   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4388   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4389   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4390   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4391 
  4392 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4393 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4394 
  4395   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4396   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4397   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4398   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4399   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4400   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4401 
  4402 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4403 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4404 
  4405 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4406 
  4407   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4408   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4409   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4410   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4411 
  4412 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4413 
  4414 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4415 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4416 
  4417 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4418 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4489 
  4490 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4491 
  4492 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4493 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4494 
  4495 
  4496 *** ML ***
  4497 
  4498 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4499 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4500 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4501 
  4502 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4503 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4504 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4505 
  4506 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4507 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4508 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4509 
  4510 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4511 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4512 
  4513 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4514 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4515 
  4516 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4517 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4518 
  4519 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4520 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4521 
  4522 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4523 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4524 almost all situations.
  4525 
  4526 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4527 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4528 Isabelle/ML.
  4529 
  4530 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4531 meaning.
  4532 
  4533 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4534 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4535 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4536 
  4537 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4538 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4539 
  4540 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4541 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4542 
  4543 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4544 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4545 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4546 
  4547 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4548 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4549 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4550 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4551 configuration options.
  4552 
  4553 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4554 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4555 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4556 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4557 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4558 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4559 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4563 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4564 ---------------------------------
  4565 
  4566 *** General ***
  4567 
  4568 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4569 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4570 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4571 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4572 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4573 their full internal name.
  4574 
  4575 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4576 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4577 Some hints on upgrading:
  4578 
  4579   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4580     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4581     which are independent of this issue.
  4582 
  4583   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4584     provides the following special forms:
  4585 
  4586       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4587       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4588       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4589 
  4590     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4591     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4592     extra variables".
  4593 
  4594     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4595     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4596     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4597     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4598     "logic".
  4599 
  4600   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4601     antiquotations:
  4602 
  4603       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4604       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4605       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4606       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4607 
  4608   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4609     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4610     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4611     antiquotations.
  4612 
  4613 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4614 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4615 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4616 diagnose syntax problems.
  4617 
  4618 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4619 
  4620 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4621 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4622 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4623 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4624 
  4625 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4626 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4627 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4628 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4629 
  4630 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4631 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4632 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4633 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4634 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4635 
  4636 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4637 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4638 
  4639 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4640 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4641 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4642 
  4643   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4644 
  4645 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4646 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4647 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4648 
  4649 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4650 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4651 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4652 
  4653 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4654 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4655 
  4656 
  4657 *** Pure ***
  4658 
  4659 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4660 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4661 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4662 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4663 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4664 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4665 inspect proof terms.
  4666 
  4667 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4668 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4669 are added internally.  For example:
  4670 
  4671   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4672 
  4673 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4674 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4675 
  4676 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4677 
  4678 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4679 'class' instead.
  4680 
  4681 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4682 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4683 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4684 
  4685 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4686 invariants.
  4687 
  4688 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4689 user space functionality any longer.
  4690 
  4691 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4692 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4693 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4694 
  4695 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4696 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4697 
  4698 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4699 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4700 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4701 
  4702 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4703 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4704 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4705 
  4706 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4707 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4708 
  4709 
  4710 *** HOL ***
  4711 
  4712 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4713 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4714 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4715 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4716 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4717 
  4718 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4719 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4720 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4721 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4722 
  4723   fun
  4724     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4725   where
  4726     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4727 
  4728   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4729     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4730 
  4731   quotient_definition
  4732     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4733 
  4734 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4735 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4736 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4737 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4738 
  4739 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4740 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4741 
  4742 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4743 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4744 
  4745 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4746 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4747 
  4748 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4749 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4750 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4751 
  4752 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4753 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4754 
  4755 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4756 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4757 
  4758 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4759 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4760 
  4761 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4762 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4763 
  4764 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4765 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4766 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4799 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4800 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4801 
  4802 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4803 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4804 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4805 
  4806 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4807 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4808 
  4809 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4810 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4811 
  4812 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4813 
  4814 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4815 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4816 
  4817 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4818 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4819 
  4820 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4821 
  4822 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4823 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4824 
  4825 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4826 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4827 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4828 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4829 
  4830 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4831   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4832   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4833   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4834 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4835 
  4836 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4837 lattices):
  4838 
  4839     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4875     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4876 
  4877   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4878   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4879 
  4880     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4881     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4882     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4883     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4884     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4885 
  4886 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4887 
  4888 * Refined field classes:
  4889   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4890     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4891     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4892   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4893 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4894 
  4895 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4896   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4897   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4898   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4899     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4900   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4901     equal_neg_zero.
  4902 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4903 
  4904 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4905 sets to lattices:
  4906 
  4907   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4908   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4909   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  4910   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  4911   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  4912   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  4913   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  4914   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  4915   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4916   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4917 
  4918 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4919 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4920 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4921 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4922 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4923 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4924 
  4925 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4926 multiset order:
  4927 
  4928   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4929     <= and <;
  4930   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4931     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4932     multiset_order;
  4933   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4934     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4935     generation;
  4936   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4937     if needed.
  4938 
  4939 Renamed:
  4940 
  4941   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4942   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4943   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4944 
  4945 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4946 
  4947 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4948 
  4949 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4950 
  4951 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4952 
  4953 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4954 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4955 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4985   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4986 
  4987 * Sledgehammer:
  4988   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4989     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4990     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4991     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4992     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4993     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4994     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4995   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4996   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4997     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4998   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4999     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  5000     is still experimental.)
  5001   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  5002     full-typed mode.
  5003   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  5004 
  5005 * Nitpick:
  5006   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  5007   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  5008   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  5009     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  5010   - Added support for quotient types.
  5011   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  5012     constructs.
  5013   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  5014     "termination" proofs).
  5015   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  5016   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  5017   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  5018   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  5019     record getters.
  5020   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  5021   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  5022   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  5023   - Added "atoms" option.
  5024   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  5025     problems.
  5026   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  5027     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  5028     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5029   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  5030     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5031   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5032 
  5033 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  5034   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  5035   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  5036   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  5037   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  5038   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  5039   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  5040   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  5041   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  5042   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5043 
  5044 
  5045 *** HOLCF ***
  5046 
  5047 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  5048 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  5049 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5050 
  5051 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  5052 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  5053 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  5054 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5055 
  5056 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  5057 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  5058 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  5059 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  5060 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5061 
  5062 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  5063 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  5064 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5065 
  5066 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  5067 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5068 
  5069   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  5070   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  5071 
  5072 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  5073 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5074 
  5075   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  5076   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  5077   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  5078   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5079   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5080 
  5081 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5082 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5083 
  5084   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5085   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5086   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5087 
  5088 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5089 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5090 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5091 
  5092 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5093 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5094 
  5095 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5096 
  5097 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5098 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5099 
  5100 
  5101 *** ML ***
  5102 
  5103 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5104 
  5105     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5106     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5107 
  5108     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5109     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5110     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5111     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5112 
  5113     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5114     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5115     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5116 
  5117 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5118 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5119 
  5120 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5121 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5122 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5123 
  5124 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5125 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5126 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5127 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5128 
  5129 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5130 the context or even global references.
  5131 
  5132 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5133 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5134 
  5135 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5136 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5137 
  5138   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5139   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5140   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5141   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5142   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5143   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5144   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5145   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5146   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5147   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5148 
  5149 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5150 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5151 
  5152 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5153 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5154 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5155 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5156 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5157 
  5158 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5159 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5160 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5161 Theory_Data version.
  5162 
  5163 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5164 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5165 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5166 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5167 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5168 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5169 explicitly in rare situations.
  5170 
  5171 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5172 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5173 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5174 
  5175 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5176 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5177 
  5178 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5179 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5180 quite rare).
  5181 
  5182 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5183 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5184 
  5185 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5186 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5187 terms.
  5188 
  5189 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5190 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5191 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5192 
  5193 
  5194 *** System ***
  5195 
  5196 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5197 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5198 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5199 
  5200 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5201 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5202 respectively.
  5203 
  5204 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5205 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5206 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5207 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5208 
  5209   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5210 
  5211 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5212 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5213 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5214 component.
  5215 
  5216 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5217 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5218 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5219 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5220 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5221 the user for manual installation.
  5222 
  5223 
  5224 
  5225 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5226 -------------------------------------
  5227 
  5228 *** General ***
  5229 
  5230 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5231 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5232 
  5233 
  5234 *** Pure ***
  5235 
  5236 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5237 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5238 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5239 
  5240 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5241 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5242 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5243 
  5244 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5245 interpretation.
  5246 
  5247 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5248 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5249 
  5250 
  5251 *** Document preparation ***
  5252 
  5253 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5254 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5255 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5256 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5257 
  5258 
  5259 *** HOL ***
  5260 
  5261 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5262 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5263 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5264 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5265 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5266 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5267 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5268 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5269 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5270 
  5271 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5272 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5273 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5274 
  5275 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5276 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5277 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5278 
  5279 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5280 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5281 
  5282 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5283 
  5284 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5285 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5286 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5287 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5288 
  5289 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5290 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5291 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5292 "mirabelle" utility.
  5293 
  5294 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5295 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5296 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5297 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5298 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5299 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5300 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5301 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5302 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5303 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5304 
  5305 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5306 procedure only.
  5307 
  5308 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5309 
  5310 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5311 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5312 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5313 that fail later.
  5314 
  5315 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5316 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5317 
  5318 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5319 the same method as the approximation method.
  5320 
  5321 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5322 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5323 series expansion.
  5324 
  5325 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5326 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5327 
  5328 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5329 reals.
  5330 
  5331 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5332 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5333 
  5334 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5335 fixpoint theorem.
  5336 
  5337 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5338   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5339     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5340   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5341     accordingly
  5342   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5343     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5344   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5345     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5346 
  5347 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5348 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5349 lattice.
  5350 
  5351 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5352 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5353 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5354 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5355 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5356 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5357 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5358 
  5359 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5360   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5361     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5362   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5363     le_inf_iff
  5364   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5365     sup_aci)
  5366   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5367   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5368   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5369     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5370     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5371     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5372     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5373     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5374     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5375     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5376     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5377     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5378     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5379   - authentic syntax for
  5380     Set.Pow
  5381     Set.image
  5382   - mere abbreviations:
  5383     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5384     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5385     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5386     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5387     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5388     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5389     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5390     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5391   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5392 
  5393 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5394 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5395 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5396 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5397 
  5398 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5399 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5400 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5401 
  5402 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5403 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5404 
  5405 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5406 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5407 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5408 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5409 
  5410 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5411 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5412 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5413 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5414 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5415 
  5416 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5417 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5418 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5419 
  5420 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5421 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5422 
  5423 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5424 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5425 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5426 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5427 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5428 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5429 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5430 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5431 
  5432 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5433     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5434     code_post       replaces    code post
  5435     etc.
  5436   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5437 
  5438 * Renamed methods:
  5439     sizechange -> size_change
  5440     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5441   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5442 
  5443 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5444 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5445 
  5446 * Renamed theorems:
  5447     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5448     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5449     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5450     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5451     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5452   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5453 
  5454 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5455 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5456 
  5457 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5458 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5459 
  5460 
  5461 *** HOLCF ***
  5462 
  5463 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5464 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5465 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5466 
  5467 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5468 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5469 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5470 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5471 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5472 
  5473 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5474 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5475 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5476 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5477 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5478 
  5479 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5480 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5481 constructor are pre-configured.
  5482 
  5483 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5484 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5485 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5486 
  5487 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5488 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5489 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5490 as well.)
  5491 
  5492 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5493 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5494 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5495 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5496 examples.
  5497 
  5498 
  5499 *** ML ***
  5500 
  5501 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5502 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5503 
  5504 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5505 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5506 position, logical grouping etc.
  5507 
  5508 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5509 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5510 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5511 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5512 
  5513 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5514 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5515 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5516 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5517 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5518 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5519 
  5520 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5521 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5522 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5523 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5524 experiments with references.
  5525 
  5526 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5527 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5528 
  5529 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5530 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5531 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5532 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5533 
  5534 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5535 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5536 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5537 
  5538 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5539 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5540 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5541 
  5542 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5543 
  5544 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5545 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5546 
  5547 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5548 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5549 
  5550 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5551 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5552 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5553 
  5554 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5555 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5556 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5557 
  5558 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5559 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5560 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5561 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5562 
  5563 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5564 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5565 instead of global theory.
  5566 
  5567 
  5568 *** System ***
  5569 
  5570 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5571 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5572 usedir option -q.
  5573 
  5574 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5575 also the system manual.
  5576 
  5577 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5578 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5579 
  5580 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5581 this is always enabled.
  5582 
  5583 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5584 
  5585 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5586 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5587 currently supported on Linux only.
  5588 
  5589 
  5590 
  5591 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5592 --------------------------------
  5593 
  5594 *** General ***
  5595 
  5596 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5597 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5598 
  5599   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5600     "isatool."
  5601 
  5602   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5603     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5604 
  5605   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5606     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5607 
  5608 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5609 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5610 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5611 
  5612 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5613 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5614 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5615 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5616 via "isabelle emacs".
  5617 
  5618 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5619 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5620 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5621 
  5622 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5623 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5624 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5625 
  5626 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5627 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5628 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5629 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5630 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5631 
  5632 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5633 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5634 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5635 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5636 
  5637 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5638 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5639 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5640 
  5641 
  5642 *** Pure ***
  5643 
  5644 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5645 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5646 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5647 
  5648 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5649 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5650 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5651 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5652 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5653 
  5654 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5655 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5656 useful in locale declarations.
  5657 
  5658 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5659 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5660 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5661 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5662 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5663 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5664 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5665 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5666 no longer generated.
  5667 
  5668 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5669 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5670 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5671 
  5672 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5673 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5674 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5675 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5676 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5677 
  5678 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5679 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5680 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5681 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5682 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5683 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5684 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5685 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5686 
  5687 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5688 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5689 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5690 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5691 
  5692 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5693 
  5694 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5695 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5696 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5697 
  5698 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5699 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5700 
  5701 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5702 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5703 in HOL, write
  5704 
  5705     class foo = ...
  5706 
  5707 instead of
  5708 
  5709     class foo = type + ...
  5710 
  5711 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5712 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5713 
  5714 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5715 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5716 
  5717 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5718 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5719 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5720 
  5721 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5722 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5723 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5724 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5725 directly in regular applications.
  5726 
  5727 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5728 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5729 
  5730 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5731 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5732 
  5733 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5734 theory context.
  5735 
  5736 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5737 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5738 
  5739 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5740 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5741 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5742 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5743 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5744 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5745 
  5746   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5747 
  5748 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5749 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5750 normalization.
  5751 
  5752 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5753 addressing etc.
  5754 
  5755 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5756 
  5757   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5758   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5759 
  5760 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5761 
  5762   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5763      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5764      parts of the code generator framework).
  5765 
  5766   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5767      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5768      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5769 
  5770 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5771 
  5772 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5773 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5774 
  5775 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5776 patterns, e.g.
  5777 
  5778     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5779 
  5780 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5781 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5782 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5783 hyphen:
  5784 
  5785     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5786 
  5787 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5788 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5789 
  5790 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5791 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5792 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5793 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5794 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5795 higher-order unification.
  5796 
  5797 
  5798 *** Document preparation ***
  5799 
  5800 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5801 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5802 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5803 
  5804 
  5805 *** HOL ***
  5806 
  5807 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5808 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5809 
  5810 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5811 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5812 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5813 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5814 Main, as before.
  5815 
  5816 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5817 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5818 
  5819 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5820 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5821 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5822 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5823 
  5824 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5825 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5826 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5827 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5828 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5829 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5830 
  5831 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5832 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5833 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5834 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5835 
  5836 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5837 menu.
  5838 
  5839 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5840 (contains the empty clause).
  5841 
  5842 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5843 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5844 
  5845 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5846 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5847 
  5848 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5849 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5850 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5851 
  5852 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5853 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5854 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5855 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5856 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5857 
  5858 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5859 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5860 
  5861 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5862 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5863 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5864 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5865 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5866 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5867 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5868 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5869 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5870 
  5871 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5872 
  5873 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5874 
  5875 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5876 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5877 
  5878 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5879 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5880 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5881 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5882 
  5883 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5884 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5885 
  5886     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5887     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5888     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5889     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5890     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5891     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5892     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5893     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5894 
  5895 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5896 theory Set.
  5897 
  5898 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5899 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5900 
  5901 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5902 
  5903 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5904 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5905 
  5906 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5907 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5908 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5909 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5910 allowed. For examples see
  5911 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5912 
  5913 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5914 
  5915 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5916 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5917 
  5918 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5919 structure:

  5972 
  5973 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5974 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5975 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5976 
  5977 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5978 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5979 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5980 
  5981 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5982 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5983 
  5984 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5985 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5986 
  5987 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5988 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5989 proofs, e.g.
  5990 
  5991   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5992 
  5993 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5994 
  5995 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5996 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5997 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5998 
  5999 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  6000 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  6001 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6002 
  6003 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  6004 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  6005 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  6006 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6007 
  6008 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  6009 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  6010 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  6011 preorder_class.*.
  6012 
  6013 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  6014 "diag" to "Id_on".
  6015 
  6016 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  6017 
  6018   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  6019 
  6020 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  6021 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  6022 fold_image.
  6023 
  6024 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  6025 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  6026 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  6027 the former will disappear at some point.
  6028 
  6029 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  6030 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  6031 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  6032 
  6033 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  6034 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  6035 realpow_0      -> power_0
  6036 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  6037 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  6038 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  6039 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  6040 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  6041 
  6042 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  6043 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  6044 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  6045 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  6046 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  6047 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  6048 
  6049     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  6050     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  6051     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  6052     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  6053     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  6054     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  6055     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6056 
  6057 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  6058 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6059 rename old lemmas as follows:
  6060 
  6061 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  6062 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  6063 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  6064 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  6065 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  6066 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  6067 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  6068 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  6069 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  6070 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  6071 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  6072 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  6073 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  6074 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  6075 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  6076 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  6077 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  6078 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  6079 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  6080 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  6081 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  6082 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  6083 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  6084 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  6085 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  6086 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  6087 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6088 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  6089 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  6090 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  6091 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  6092 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  6093 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  6094 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  6095 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  6096 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  6097 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  6098 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  6099 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  6100 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  6101 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  6102 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  6103 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  6104 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  6105 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  6106 
  6107 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6108 
  6109 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  6110 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  6111 
  6112 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  6113 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  6114 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  6115 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  6116 
  6117 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  6118 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  6119 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  6120 theory RealVector.
  6121 
  6122 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  6123 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  6124 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  6125 and inner products are included.
  6126 
  6127 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  6128 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  6129 supported.
  6130 
  6131 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  6132 first diagonalization argument.
  6133 
  6134 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  6135 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  6136 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  6137 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6138 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  6139 
  6140     hide (open) const gcd
  6141     abbreviation gcd where
  6142       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6143     notation (output)
  6144       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6145 
  6146 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6147 
  6148 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6149 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6150 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6151 
  6152 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6153 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6154 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6155 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6156 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6157 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6158 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6159 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6160 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6161 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6162 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6163 cases.
  6164 
  6165 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6166 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6167 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6168 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6169 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6170 
  6171     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6172     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6173     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6174     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6175     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6176 
  6177 
  6178 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6179 
  6180 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6181 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6182 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6183 
  6184 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6185 
  6186 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6187 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6188 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6189 
  6190 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6191 
  6192 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6193 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6194 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6195 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6196 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6197 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6198 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6199 
  6200 
  6201 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6202 
  6203 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6204 
  6205 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6206 theory targets.
  6207 
  6208 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6209 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6210 'inductive' etc.
  6211 
  6212 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6213 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6214 
  6215 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6216 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6217 
  6218 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6219 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6220 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6221 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6222 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6223 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6224 the algorithm W:
  6225 
  6226  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6227  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6228          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6229 
  6230 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6231 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6232 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6233 
  6234 
  6235 *** HOLCF ***
  6236 
  6237 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6238 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6239 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6240 
  6241 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6242 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6243 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6244 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6245 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6246 
  6247 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6248 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6249 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6250 
  6251 
  6252 *** ZF ***
  6253 
  6254 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6255 
  6256 
  6257 *** ML ***
  6258 
  6259 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6260 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6261 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6262 5.2.1!
  6263 
  6264 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6265 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6266 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6267 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6268 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6269 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6270 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6271 
  6272 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6273 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6274 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6275 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6276 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6277 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6278 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6279 
  6280 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6281 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6282 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6283 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6284 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6285 
  6286 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6287 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6288 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6289 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6290 Method.add_method.
  6291 
  6292 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6293 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6294 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6295 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6296 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6297 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6298 
  6299 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6300 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6301 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6302 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6303 examples.
  6304 
  6305 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6306 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6307 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6308 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6309 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6310 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6311 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6312 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6313 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6314 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6315 
  6316 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6317 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6318 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6319 
  6320 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6321 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6322 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6323 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6324 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6325 resort for legacy applications.
  6326 
  6327 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6328 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6329 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6330 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6331 explicit runtime argument.
  6332 
  6333 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6334 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6335 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6336 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6337 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6338 
  6339 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6340 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6341 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6342 theory state.
  6343 
  6344 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6345 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6346 
  6347   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6348   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6349   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6350   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6351   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6352   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6353   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6354   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6355   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6356   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6357 
  6358 
  6359 *** System ***
  6360 
  6361 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6362 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6363 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6364 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6365 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6366 
  6367 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6368 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6369 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6370 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6371 
  6372 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6373 
  6374 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6375 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6376 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6377 prover operations.
  6378 
  6379 
  6380 
  6381 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6382 -------------------------------
  6383 
  6384 *** General ***
  6385 
  6386 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6387 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6388 
  6389 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6390 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6391 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6392 provides a proper context already.
  6393 
  6394 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6395 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6396 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6397 
  6398 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6399 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6400 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6401 swap theory imports.
  6402 
  6403 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6404 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6405 
  6406 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6407 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6408 white space without escapes.
  6409 
  6410 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6411 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6412 "foo_bar".
  6413 
  6414 
  6415 *** Pure ***
  6416 
  6417 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6418 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6419 
  6420 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6421 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6422 
  6423 (1) unused_thms
  6424      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6425 
  6426 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6427      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6428      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6429 
  6430 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6431      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6432      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6433      their ancestors.
  6434 
  6435 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6436 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6437 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6438 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6439 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6440 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6441 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6442 
  6443 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6444 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6445 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6446 
  6447 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6448 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6449 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6450 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6451 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6452 
  6453 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6454 
  6455 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6456 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6457 update of theories within ML code.
  6458 
  6459 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6460 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6461 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6462 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6463 
  6464 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6465 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6466 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6467 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6468 
  6469 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6470 
  6471 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6472 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6473 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6474 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6475 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6476 
  6477 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6478 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6479 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6480 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6481 situations.
  6482 
  6483 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6484 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6485 proof text.
  6486 
  6487 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6488 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6489 
  6490 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6491 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6492 predicates.
  6493 
  6494 
  6495 *** Document preparation ***
  6496 
  6497 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6498 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6499 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6500 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6501 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6502 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6503 
  6504 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6505 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6506 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6507 
  6508 
  6509 *** HOL ***
  6510 
  6511 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6512 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6513 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6514 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6515 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6516 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6517 
  6518 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6519 with multithreading.
  6520 
  6521 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6522 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6523 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6524 
  6525 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6526 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6527 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6528 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6529 
  6530 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6531 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6532 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6533 and makes them available separately.  See
  6534 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6535 
  6536 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6537 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6538 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6539 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6540 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6541 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6542 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6543 the declared rules.
  6544 
  6545 This setup also deals with rules like
  6546 
  6547   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6548 
  6549 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6550 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6551 
  6552 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6553 
  6554   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6555 
  6556   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6557     definitions on => and bool.
  6558 
  6559   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6560     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6561     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6562 
  6563       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6564       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6565       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6566       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6567       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6568       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6569       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6570       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6571 
  6572   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6573     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6574     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6575 
  6576   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6577     The proof pattern
  6578 
  6579       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6580       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6581 
  6582     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6583     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6584 
  6585       have "EX S. P S"
  6586       proof
  6587         show "P S" <...>
  6588       qed
  6589 
  6590   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6591     The proof pattern
  6592 
  6593       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6594       also have "S = T" <...>
  6595       finally have "P T" .
  6596 
  6597     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6598     must be replaced by something like
  6599 
  6600       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6601       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6602       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6603 
  6604   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6605     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6606 
  6607       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6608 
  6609     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6610     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6611     type of the form
  6612 
  6613       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6614 
  6615     rather than
  6616 
  6617       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6618 
  6619 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6620 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6621 
  6622 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6623 
  6624 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6625 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6626 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6627 
  6628 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6629 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6630 
  6631 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6632 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6633 
  6634 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6635 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6636 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6637 
  6638 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6639 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6640 
  6641   less_trans
  6642   less_linear
  6643   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6644   le_less_trans
  6645   less_le_trans
  6646   less_not_sym
  6647   less_asym
  6648 
  6649 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6650 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6651 and different variable names.
  6652 
  6653 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6654 
  6655 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6656 finite maps.
  6657 
  6658 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6659 
  6660 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6661 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6662 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6663 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6664 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6665 accordingly.
  6666 
  6667 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6668 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6669 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6670 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6671 
  6672 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6673 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6674 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6675 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6676 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6677 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6678 
  6679 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6680 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6681 
  6682 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6683 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6684 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6685 
  6686 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6687 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6688 
  6689 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6690 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6691 
  6692 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6693 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6694 
  6695 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6696 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6697 
  6698 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6699 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6700 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6701 
  6702 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6703 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6704 
  6705 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6706 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6707 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6708 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6709 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6710 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6711 
  6712 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6713 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6714 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6715 
  6716 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6717 
  6718 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6719 
  6720 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6721 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6722 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6723 
  6724 
  6725 *** ZF ***
  6726 
  6727 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6728 same session:
  6729 
  6730   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6731   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6732   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6733   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6734   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6735   List      -> List_ZF
  6736   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6737 
  6738 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6739 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6740 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6741 
  6742 
  6743 *** ML ***
  6744 
  6745 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6746 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6747 
  6748 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6749 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6750 
  6751 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6752 
  6753 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6754 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6755 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6756 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6757 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6758 
  6759 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6760 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6761 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6762 
  6763 
  6764 *** System ***
  6765 
  6766 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6767 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6768 
  6769 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6770 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6771 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6772 
  6773 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6774 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6775 
  6776 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6777 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6778 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6779 
  6780 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6781 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6782 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6783 
  6784 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6785 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6786 
  6787 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6788 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6789 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6790 script.
  6791 
  6792 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6793 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6794 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6795 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6796 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6797 
  6798 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6799 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6800 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6801 
  6802 
  6803 
  6804 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6805 -----------------------------------
  6806 
  6807 *** General ***
  6808 
  6809 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6810 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6811 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6812 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6813 
  6814 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6815 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6816 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6817 
  6818 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6819 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6820 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6821 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6822 
  6823 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6824 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6825 quotes.
  6826 
  6827 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6828 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6829 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6830 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6831 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6832 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6833 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6834 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6835 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6836 
  6837 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6838 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6839 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6840 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6841 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6842 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6843 
  6844 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6845 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6846 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6847 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6848 
  6849 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6850 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6851 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6852 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6853 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6854 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6855 
  6856 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6857 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6858 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6859 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6860 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6861 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6862 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6863 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6864 
  6865 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6866 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6867 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6868 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6869 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6870 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6871 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6872 
  6873 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6874 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6875 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6876 
  6877 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6878 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6879 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6880 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6881 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6882 limit is imposed.
  6883 
  6884 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6885 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6886 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6887 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6888 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6889 and scalability.
  6890 
  6891 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6892 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6893 
  6894 
  6895 *** Document preparation ***
  6896 
  6897 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6898 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6899 current context.
  6900 
  6901 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6902 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6903 
  6904 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6905 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6906 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6907 
  6908 
  6909 *** Pure ***
  6910 
  6911 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6912 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6913 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6914 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6915 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6916 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6917 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6918 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6919 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6920 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6921 
  6922 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6923 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6924 sketch:
  6925 
  6926     internal compilation:
  6927         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6928     writing SML code to a file:
  6929         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6930     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6931         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6932     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6933         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6934 
  6935     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6936         method ``eval''
  6937 
  6938 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6939 
  6940 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6941 
  6942     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6943     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6944     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6945     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6946 
  6947 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6948 
  6949     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6950       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6951 
  6952     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6953       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6954 
  6955     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6956       {(target)}+
  6957         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6958 
  6959     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6960       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6961         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6962 
  6963 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6964 
  6965 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6966 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6967 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6968 codegen".
  6969 
  6970 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6971 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6972 annotations).
  6973 
  6974 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6975 syntax.
  6976 
  6977 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6978 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6979 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6980 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6981 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6982 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6983 
  6984 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6985 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6986 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6987 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6988 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6989 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6990 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6991 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6992 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6993 equations, see section "definitions".
  6994 
  6995 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6996 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6997 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6998 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6999 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  7000 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  7001 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  7002 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  7003 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  7004 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  7005 
  7006 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  7007 configuration options:
  7008 
  7009   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  7010   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  7011   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  7012   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  7013   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  7014   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  7015   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  7016   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  7017   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  7018 
  7019 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  7020 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  7021 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  7022 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  7023 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  7024 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  7025 order.
  7026 
  7027 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  7028 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  7029 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  7030 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  7031 context encountered later on.
  7032 
  7033 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  7034 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  7035 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  7036 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  7037 
  7038 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  7039 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  7040 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  7041 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  7042 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  7043 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  7044 
  7045 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  7046 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  7047 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  7048 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  7049 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  7050 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  7051 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  7052 more permissive.
  7053 
  7054 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  7055 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  7056 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  7057 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  7058 maintainability of proof texts.
  7059 
  7060 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  7061 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  7062 
  7063   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  7064   then guess x and y by clarify
  7065 
  7066 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  7067 proof tools being involved here.
  7068 
  7069 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  7070 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  7071 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  7072 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  7073 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  7074 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  7075 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  7076 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  7077 
  7078 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  7079 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  7080 certain special cases of literal facts:
  7081 
  7082   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  7083   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  7084   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  7085   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  7086 
  7087 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  7088 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  7089 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  7090 
  7091 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  7092 both named and unnamed ones.
  7093 
  7094 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  7095 
  7096   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  7097 
  7098 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  7099 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  7100 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  7101 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  7102 
  7103 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  7104 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  7105 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  7106 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  7107 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  7108 
  7109 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  7110 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  7111 
  7112 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  7113 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  7114 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  7115 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  7116 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  7117 originally first one.
  7118 
  7119 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  7120 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  7121 expected.
  7122 
  7123 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  7124 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  7125 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  7126 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  7127 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  7128 
  7129   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7130     assumes "EX x. P x"
  7131     obtains x where "P x"
  7132 
  7133   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7134     assumes "A & B"
  7135     obtains A and B
  7136 
  7137   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7138     assumes "A | B"
  7139     obtains
  7140       A
  7141     | B
  7142 
  7143 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7144 explicitly:
  7145 
  7146   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7147     obtains "~ thesis"
  7148 
  7149   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7150     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7151 
  7152 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7153 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7154 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7155 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7156 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7157 case_names).
  7158 
  7159 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7160 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7161 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7162 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7163 
  7164 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7165 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7166 top-level lemma.
  7167 
  7168 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7169 introduction rule (default "that").
  7170 
  7171 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7172 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7173 to occur.
  7174 
  7175 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7176 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7177 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7178 representations independently of name spaces.
  7179 
  7180 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7181 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7182 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7183 
  7184 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7185 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7186 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7187 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7188 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7189 current context.
  7190 
  7191 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7192 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7193 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7194 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7195 
  7196   axiomatization
  7197     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7198     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7199 
  7200   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7201   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7202 
  7203   abbreviation
  7204     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7205     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7206 
  7207 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7208 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7209 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7210 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7211 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7212 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7213 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7214 
  7215 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7216 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7217 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7218 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7219 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7220 
  7221 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7222 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7223 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7224 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7225 
  7226 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7227 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7228 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7229 
  7230   definition "K x _ = x"
  7231 
  7232   inductive conj for A B
  7233   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7234 
  7235 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7236 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7237 abbreviations on output.
  7238 
  7239 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7240 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7241 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7242 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7243 
  7244 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7245 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7246 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7247 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7248 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7249 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7250 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7251 
  7252 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7253 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7254 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7255 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7256 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7257 
  7258 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7259 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7260 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7261 
  7262 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7263 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7264 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7265 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7266 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7267 
  7268   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7269     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7270 
  7271 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7272 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7273 partial_order.
  7274 
  7275 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7276 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7277 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7278 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7279 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7280 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7281 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7282 examples.
  7283 
  7284 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7285 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7286 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7287 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7288 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7289 
  7290 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7291 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7292 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7293 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7294 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7295 
  7296   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7297   (induct set: foo bar)
  7298   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7299   (induct type: foo bar)
  7300 
  7301 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7302 new format.
  7303 
  7304 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7305 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7306 
  7307 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7308 considered a legacy feature.
  7309 
  7310 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7311 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7312 
  7313 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7314 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7315 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7316 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7317 
  7318 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7319 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7320 manipulating the claset.
  7321 
  7322 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7323 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7324 least one premise.
  7325 
  7326 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7327 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7328 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7329 rule steps.
  7330 
  7331 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7332 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7333 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7334 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7335 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7336 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7337 
  7338 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7339 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7340 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7341 
  7342 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7343 the graph browser tool.
  7344 
  7345 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7346 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7347 
  7348 
  7349 *** HOL ***
  7350 
  7351 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7352 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7353 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7354 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7355 multi-threading.
  7356 
  7357 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7358 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7359 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7360 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7361 work with multi-threading.
  7362 
  7363 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7364 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7365 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7366 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7367 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7368 
  7369 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7370 
  7371 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7372 equality.
  7373 
  7374 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7375 the new 'class' package:
  7376 
  7377     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7378     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7379     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7380     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7381     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7382     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7383     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7384     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7385     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less

  7394     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7395     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7396     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7397 
  7398 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7399 
  7400 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7401 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7402 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7403 names.
  7404 
  7405 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7406 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7407 
  7408 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7409 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7410 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7411 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7412 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7413 
  7414 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7415 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7416 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7417 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7418 
  7419 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7420 
  7421 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7422 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7423 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7424 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7425 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7426 
  7427 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7428 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7429 
  7430 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7431 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7432 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7433 
  7434 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7435 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7436 
  7437 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7438 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7439 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7440 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7441 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7442 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7443 in the current context.
  7444 
  7445 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7446 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7447 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7448 
  7449 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7450 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7451 
  7452 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7453 
  7454     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7455     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7456 
  7457     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7458       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7459     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7460     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7461 
  7462     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7463     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7464 
  7465   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  7466 
  7467     meet_left_le            ~> inf_le1
  7468     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  7567 
  7568 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7569 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7570 
  7571 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7572 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7573 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7574 "*.size".
  7575 
  7576 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7577 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7578 
  7579 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7580 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7581 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7582 
  7583 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7584 
  7585 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7586 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7587 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7588 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7589 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7590 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7591 numerals on all operations.
  7592 
  7593 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7594 
  7595 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7596 
  7597 * Code generator library theories:
  7598   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7599     languages.
  7600   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7601     languages.
  7602   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7603     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7604   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7605   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7606     denominator).
  7607   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7608     representable by rational numbers.
  7609   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7610     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7611     includes Code_Integer.
  7612   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7613     target-language built-in integers.
  7614   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7615     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7616 
  7617 * New package for inductive predicates
  7618 
  7619   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7620 
  7621     inductive
  7622       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7623       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7624     where
  7625       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7626     | ...
  7627 
  7628   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7629 
  7630     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7631 
  7632     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7633     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7634 
  7635     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7636     intros
  7637       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7638       ...
  7639 
  7640   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7641   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7642 
  7643     inductive_set
  7644       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7645       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7646     where
  7647       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7648     | ...
  7649 
  7650   or
  7651 
  7652     inductive_set
  7653       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7654       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7655       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7656     where
  7657       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7658     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7659     | ...
  7660 
  7661   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7662 
  7663   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7664   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7665 
  7666   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7667 
  7668   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7669     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7670     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7671     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7672     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7673 
  7674   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7675     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7676     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7677     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7678     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7679     statements of the form
  7680 
  7681       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7682 
  7683     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7684     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7685 
  7686       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7687 
  7688   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7689 
  7690       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7691         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7692         ==> ... ==> P
  7693 
  7694     for predicates and
  7695 
  7696       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7697         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7698         ==> ... ==> P
  7699 
  7700     for sets rather than
  7701 
  7702       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7703         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7704         ==> ... ==> P
  7705 
  7706     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7707     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7708     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7709 
  7710   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7711     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7712     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7713 
  7714 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7715 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7716 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7717 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7718 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7719 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7720 
  7721 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7722 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7723 
  7724 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7725 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7726 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7727 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7728 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7729 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7730 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7731 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7732 variable.
  7733 
  7734 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7735 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7736 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7737 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7738   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7739   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7740 
  7741 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7742 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7743 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7744 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7745 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7746 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7747 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7748 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7749 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7750 
  7751 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7752 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7753 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7754 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7755 rat, etc.
  7756 
  7757 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7758 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7759 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7760 
  7761 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7762 
  7763 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7764 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7765 
  7766 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7767 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7768 
  7769 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7770 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7771 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7772 
  7773 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7774 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7775 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7776 
  7777 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7778 
  7779 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7780 
  7781 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7782 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7783 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7784 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7785 
  7786 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7787 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7788 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7789 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7790 
  7791 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7792 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7793 algebraic operations.
  7794 
  7795 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7796 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7797 
  7798 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7799 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7800 
  7801 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7802 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7803 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7804 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7805 adapted.
  7806 
  7807 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7808 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7809 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7810 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7811 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7812 
  7813 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7814 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7815 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7816 
  7817 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7818 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7819 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7820 
  7821 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7822 
  7823 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7824 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7825 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7826   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7827       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7828   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7829   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7830   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7831 
  7832 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7833 
  7834 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7835 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7836 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7837 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7838 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7839 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7840 
  7841 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7842 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7843 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7844 
  7845 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7846 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7847 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7849 
  7850 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7851 
  7852 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7853 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7854 
  7855 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7856 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7857 
  7858 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7859 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7860 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7861 
  7862 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7863 True/False.
  7864 
  7865 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7866 
  7867 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7868 
  7869 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7870 ``rule'' method.
  7871 
  7872 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7873 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7874 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7875 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7876 
  7877 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7878 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7879 
  7880 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7881 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7882 
  7883 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7884 Library.
  7885 
  7886 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7887 
  7888 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7889 as greatest fixed-point.
  7890 
  7891 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7892 association lists.
  7893 
  7894 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7895 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7896 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7897 
  7898 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7899 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7900 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7901 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7902 behavior.
  7903 
  7904 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7905 
  7906 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7907 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7908 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7909 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7910 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7911 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7912 
  7913 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7914 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7915 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7916 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7917 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7918 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7919 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7920 
  7921 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7922 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7923 
  7924 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7925 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7926 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7927 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7928 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7929 
  7930 
  7931 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7932 
  7933 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7934 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7935 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7936 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7937 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7938 
  7939 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7940 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7941 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7942 
  7943 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7944 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7945 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7946 
  7947 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7948 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7949 
  7950 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7951 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7952 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7953 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7969   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7970 
  7971 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7972 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7973 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7974 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7975

  7977   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  7978   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite

  7980   monad         <-- cmonad
  7981   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy

  7983   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  7984   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  7985 
  7986 
  7987 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7988 
  7989 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7990 
  7991 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7992 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7993 
  7994 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7995 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7996 
  7997 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7998 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7999 of algebraic structures.
  8000 
  8001 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  8002 
  8003 
  8004 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  8005 
  8006 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  8007 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  8008 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  8009 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  8010 
  8011 
  8012 *** ML ***
  8013 
  8014 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  8015 (even on SML/NJ).
  8016 
  8017 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  8018 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  8019 compile-time.  For example:
  8020 
  8021 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  8022 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  8023 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  8024 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  8025 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  8026 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  8027 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  8028 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  8029 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  8030 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  8031 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  8032 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  8033 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  8034 ML {* @{context} *}
  8035 ML {* @{theory} *}
  8036 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  8037 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  8038 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  8039 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  8040 ML {* @{claset} *}
  8041 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  8042 
  8043 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  8044 
  8045 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  8046 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  8047 
  8048 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  8049 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  8050 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  8051 
  8052 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  8053 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  8054 
  8055 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  8056 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  8057 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  8058 
  8059 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  8060 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  8061 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  8062 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  8063 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  8064 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  8065 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  8066 declarations and definitions.
  8067 
  8068 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  8069 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  8070 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  8071 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  8072 
  8073 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  8074 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  8075 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  8076 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8077 
  8078 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  8079 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  8080 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  8081 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  8082 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  8083 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  8084 
  8085 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  8086 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  8087 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  8088 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  8089 attributes, methods, etc.
  8090 
  8091 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  8092 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  8093 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  8094 fold_map combinators.
  8095 
  8096 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  8097 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  8098 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  8099 derivation.
  8100 
  8101 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  8102 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  8103 achieve the old behaviour.
  8104 
  8105 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  8106 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  8107 statements.
  8108 
  8109 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  8110 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  8111 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  8112 
  8113 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  8114 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  8115 some popular functions from term.ML:
  8116 
  8117   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  8118   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  8119   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  8120 
  8121 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  8122 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  8123 
  8124 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  8125 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  8126 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  8127 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  8128 various freeze_thaw operations.
  8129 
  8130 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  8131 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  8132 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  8133 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  8134 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  8135 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  8136 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  8137 in a locale context).
  8138 
  8139 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  8140 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  8141 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8142 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8143 
  8144 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8145 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8146 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8147 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8148 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8149 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8150 
  8151 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8152 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8153 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8154 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8155 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8156 
  8157   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8158 
  8159 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8160 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8161 this:
  8162 
  8163   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8164 
  8165 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8166 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8167 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8168 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8169 
  8170 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8171 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8172 
  8173 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8174 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8175 
  8176 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8177 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8178 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8179 batch mode.
  8180 
  8181 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8182 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8183 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8184 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8185 
  8186 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8187 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8188 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8189 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8190 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8191 
  8192 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8193 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8194 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8195 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8196 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8197 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8198 
  8199 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8200 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8201 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8202 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8203 
  8204 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8205 "Trueprop" etc.
  8206 
  8207 
  8208 *** System ***
  8209 
  8210 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8211 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8212 Isabelle installations.
  8213 
  8214 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8215 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8216 code.
  8217 
  8218 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8219 
  8220 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8221 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8222 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8223 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8224 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8225 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8226 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8227 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8228 Implementation manual.
  8229 
  8230 
  8231 
  8232 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8233 ----------------------------------
  8234 
  8235 *** General ***
  8236 
  8237 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8238 
  8239   theory <name>
  8240   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8241   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8242   begin
  8243 
  8244 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8245 
  8246   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8247 
  8248 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8249 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8250 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8251 
  8252 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8253 relative and absolute paths.
  8254 
  8255 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8256 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8257 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8258 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8259 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8260 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8261 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8262 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8263 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8264 
  8265   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8266 
  8267 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8268 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8269 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8270 
  8271 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8272 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8273 
  8274 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8275 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8276 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8277 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8278 
  8279   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8280   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8281 
  8282 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8283 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8284 faster.
  8285 
  8286 
  8287 *** Document preparation ***
  8288 
  8289 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8290 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8291 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8292 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8293 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8294 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8295 
  8296 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8297 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8298 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8299 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8300 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8301 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8302 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8303 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8304 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8305 \isadroptag.
  8306 
  8307 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8308 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8309 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8310 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8311 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8312 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8313 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8314 specified above.
  8315 
  8316 * Several new antiquotations:
  8317 
  8318   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8319 
  8320   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8321 
  8322   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8323   argument is a known logical constant;
  8324 
  8325   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8326   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8327 
  8328   @{ML text}
  8329 
  8330 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8331 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8332 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8333 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8334 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8335 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8336 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8337 
  8338 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8339 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8340 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8341 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8342 
  8343 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8344 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8345 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8346 
  8347 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8348 a proof context.
  8349 
  8350 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8351 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8352 
  8353 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8354 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8355 
  8356 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8357 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8358 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8359 
  8360 
  8361 *** Pure ***
  8362 
  8363 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8364 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8365 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8366 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8367 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8368 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8369 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8370 
  8371 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8372 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8373 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8374 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8375 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8376 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8377 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8378 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8379 
  8380 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8381 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8382 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8383 
  8384 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8385 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8386 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8387 
  8388 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8389 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8390 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8391 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8392 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8393 
  8394 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8395 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8396 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8397 axclasses vs. locales.
  8398 
  8399 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8400 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8401 
  8402 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8403 marks in schematic variable names.
  8404 
  8405 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8406 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8407 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8408 
  8409   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8410     by simp
  8411 
  8412 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8413 
  8414 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8415 annotations as "(00...)".
  8416 
  8417 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8418 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8419 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8420 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8421 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8422 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8423 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8424 
  8425 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8426 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8427 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8428 specifications.
  8429 
  8430 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8431 locally fixed variables as well.
  8432 
  8433 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8434 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8435 Limit.
  8436 
  8437 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8438 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8439 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8440 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8441 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8442 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8443 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8444 
  8445 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8446 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8447 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8448 
  8449 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8450 
  8451 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8452 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8453 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8454 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8455 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8456 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8457 
  8458 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8459 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8460 
  8461 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8462 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8463 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8464 
  8465 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8466 
  8467 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8468 theory development.
  8469 
  8470 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8471 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8472 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8473 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8474 
  8475 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8476 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8477 quoted when used as identifier.
  8478 
  8479 
  8480 *** Locales ***
  8481 
  8482 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8483 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8484 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8485 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8486 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8487 commands is a follows:
  8488 
  8489   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8490   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8491   (3) interpret expr inst
  8492 
  8493 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8494 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8495 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8496 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8497 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8498 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8499 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8500 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8501 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8502 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8503 
  8504 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8505 'interpret' instead.
  8506 
  8507 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8508 parameters.
  8509 
  8510 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8511 redeclaration.
  8512 
  8513 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8514 
  8515 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8516 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8517 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8518 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8519 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8520 
  8521 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8522 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8523 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8524 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8525 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8526 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8527 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8528 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8529 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8530 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8531 
  8532 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8533 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8534 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8535 
  8536 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8537 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8538 
  8539 
  8540 *** Provers ***
  8541 
  8542 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8543 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8544 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8545 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8546 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8547 
  8548 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8549 and quasi orders.
  8550 
  8551 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8552 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8553 
  8554 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8555 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8556 
  8557 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8558 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8559 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8560 
  8561 
  8562 *** HOL ***
  8563 
  8564 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8565 
  8566   syntax (epsilon)
  8567     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8568 
  8569 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8570 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8571 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8572 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8573 
  8574 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8575 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8576 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8577 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8578 
  8579 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8580 instead of ":".
  8581 
  8582 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8583 
  8584   Old       New
  8585   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8586   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8587   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8588   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8589   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8590 
  8591 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8592 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8593 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8594 
  8595   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8596   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8597 
  8598 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8599 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8600 interface.
  8601 
  8602 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8603 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8604 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8605 be a tuple pattern.
  8606 
  8607 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8608 
  8609   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8610   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8611   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8612   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8613 
  8614 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8615 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8616 
  8617 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8618 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8619 (insert F x)'.
  8620 
  8621 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8622 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8623 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8624 
  8625 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8626 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8627 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8628 
  8629 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8630 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8631 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8632 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8633 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8634 
  8635 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8636 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8637 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8638 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8639 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8640 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8641 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8642 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8643 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8644 
  8645 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8646 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8647 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8648 quite long.
  8649 
  8650 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8651 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8652 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8653 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8654 
  8655 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8656 type-variables in the term.
  8657 
  8658 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8659 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8660 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8661 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8662 goals than previously.
  8663 
  8664 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8665 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8666 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8667 just like y <= x.
  8668 
  8669 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8670 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8671 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8672 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8673 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8674 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8675 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8676 
  8677 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8678 
  8679 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8680 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8681 
  8682 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8683 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8684 inequalities.
  8685 
  8686 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8687 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8688 
  8689   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8690   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8691   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8692   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8693   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8694   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8695   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8696   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8697   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8698   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8699   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8700 
  8701 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8702 
  8703      zero_le_square
  8704      not_square_less_zero
  8705 
  8706   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  8710      realpow_less
  8711      zero_le_power

  8713      abs_realpow_two
  8714      realpow_two_abs
  8715 
  8716 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8717 
  8718 * Theory List:
  8719 
  8720 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8721 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8722 
  8723   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8724   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8725   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8726   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8727 
  8728 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8729 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8730 
  8731 
  8732 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8733 
  8734 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8735 integers in the reals.
  8736 
  8737 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8738 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8739 
  8740   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8741   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8742   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8743   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8744   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8745 
  8746 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8747 
  8748 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8749 
  8750 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8751 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8752 
  8753   hypreal = real star
  8754   hypnat = nat star
  8755   hcomplex = complex star
  8756 
  8757 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8758 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8759 
  8760   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex

  8772   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8773 
  8774 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8775 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8776 
  8777   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  8778   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs

  8800   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8801 
  8802 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8803 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8804 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8805 
  8806   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8807   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  8808   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un

  8894 
  8895 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8896 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8897 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8898 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8899 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8900 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8901 
  8902 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8903 
  8904 
  8905 *** HOLCF ***
  8906 
  8907 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8908 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8909 type-inference.
  8910 
  8911 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8912 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8913 instead of exponential time).
  8914 
  8915 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8916 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8917 
  8918   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8919 
  8920 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8921 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8922 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8923 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8924 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8925 syntax and examples.
  8926 
  8927 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8928 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8929 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8930 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8931 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8932 
  8933 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8934 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8935 
  8936   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8937   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8938   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8939   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8940   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8941   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8942 
  8943 
  8944 *** ZF ***
  8945 
  8946 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8947 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8948 of a homomorphism).
  8949 
  8950 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8951 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8952 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8953 
  8954 
  8955 *** Cube ***
  8956 
  8957 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8958 theories.
  8959 
  8960 
  8961 *** ML ***
  8962 
  8963 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8964 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8965 
  8966 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8967 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8968 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8969 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8970 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8971 
  8972 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8973 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8974 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8975 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8976 
  8977 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8978 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8979 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8980 
  8981     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8982     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8983     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8984     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8985     seq fs = List.app fs
  8986     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8987     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8988 
  8989 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8990 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8991 
  8992   x |> f                f #> g
  8993   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8994 
  8995 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8996 
  8997   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8998   infix 2 ?;
  8999   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  9000   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  9001 
  9002 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  9003 infix operators.
  9004 
  9005 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  9006 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  9007 example:
  9008 
  9009   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  9010     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  9011 
  9012   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  9013     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  9014 
  9015   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  9016     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  9017 
  9018   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  9019     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  9020 
  9021 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  9022 available:
  9023 
  9024   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  9025   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  9026   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  9027   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  9028 
  9029 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  9030 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  9031 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  9032 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  9033 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  9034 
  9035   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  9036   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  9037   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  9038 
  9039 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  9040 
  9041   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  9042   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  9043 
  9044 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  9045 Naive rewrites:
  9046 
  9047   make_keylist = AList.make
  9048   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  9049 
  9050 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  9051   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  9052 
  9053     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  9054     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  9055 
  9056 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  9057   Naive rewrites:
  9058 
  9059     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  9060     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  9061 
  9062 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  9063 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  9064 lists.
  9065 
  9066 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  9067 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  9068 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  9069 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  9070 
  9071 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  9072 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  9073 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  9074 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  9075 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  9076 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  9077 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  9078 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  9079 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  9080 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  9081 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  9082 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  9083 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  9084 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  9085 Output.raw have no effect.
  9086 
  9087 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  9088 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  9089 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  9090 
  9091 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  9092 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  9093 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  9094 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  9095 
  9096 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  9097 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  9098 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  9099 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  9100 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  9101 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  9102 Library.sort_strings on result).
  9103 
  9104 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  9105 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  9106 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  9107 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9108 
  9109 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  9110 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  9111 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  9112 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  9113 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  9114 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  9115 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  9116 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  9117 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  9118 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  9119 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  9120 
  9121 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  9122 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  9123 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  9124 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  9125 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  9126 with earlier declarations.
  9127 
  9128 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  9129 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  9130 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9131 
  9132 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  9133 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  9134 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9135 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9136 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9137 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9138 
  9139   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9140     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9141 
  9142   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9143     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9144 
  9145   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9146     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9147     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9148     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9149 
  9150 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9151 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9152 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9153 
  9154 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9155 
  9156 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9157 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9158 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9159 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9160 
  9161 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9162 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9163 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9164 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9165 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9166 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9167 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9168 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9169 
  9170 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9171 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9172 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9173 
  9174 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9175 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9176 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9177 
  9178 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9179 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9180 
  9181   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9182   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9183   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9184   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9185 
  9186 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9187 
  9188 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9189 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9190 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9191 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9192 (both increase the runtime).
  9193 
  9194 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9195 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9196 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9197 
  9198 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9199 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9200 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9201 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9202 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9203 for further details.
  9204 
  9205 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9206 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9207 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9208 scripts for the time being.
  9209 
  9210 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9211 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9212 
  9213   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9214   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9215 
  9216 
  9217 *** System ***
  9218 
  9219 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9220 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9221 
  9222 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9223 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9224 
  9225 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9226 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9227 
  9228 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9229 distribution being used.
  9230 
  9231 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9232 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9233 theories.
  9234 
  9235 
  9236 
  9237 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9238 --------------------------------
  9239 
  9240 *** General ***
  9241 
  9242 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9243   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9244 
  9245 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9246   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9247   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9248   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9249   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9250   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9251   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9252   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9253   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9254   existing theory and ML files.
  9255 
  9256 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9257 
  9258 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9259   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9260   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9261   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9262 
  9263 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9264   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9265   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9266   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9267 
  9268 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9269   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9270   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9271 
  9272 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9273   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9274   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9275   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9276   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9277 
  9278 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9279   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9280 
  9281 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9282   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9283   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9284 
  9285 
  9286 *** Isar ***
  9287 
  9288 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9289   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9290   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9291     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9292     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9293     emulations.
  9294   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9295     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9296     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9297 
  9298 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9299   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9300     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9301     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9302   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9303 
  9304 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9305   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9306   and derived forms.
  9307 
  9308 * Locales:
  9309   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9310     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9311     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9312     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9313   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9314     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9315   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9316     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9317   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9318         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9319     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9320     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9321     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9322     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9323     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9324       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9325     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9326     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9327     with "locale (open)".
  9328       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9329 
  9330 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9331   (Isar) contexts.
  9332 
  9333 
  9334 *** HOL ***
  9335 
  9336 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9337   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9338   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9339   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9340   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9341 
  9342 * Simplifier:
  9343   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9344     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9345     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9346     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9347     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9348   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9349     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9350     is solved by simplification already.
  9351 
  9352 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9353     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9354 
  9355 * Numerics:
  9356   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9357     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9358   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9359     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9360   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9361     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9362     exponentiation).
  9363 
  9364 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9365 
  9366 * Records:
  9367   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9368     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9369     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9370   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9371     (not enabled by default).
  9372   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9373     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9374   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9375 
  9376 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9377   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9378   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9379 
  9380 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9381 
  9382 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9383 
  9384 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9385   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9386 
  9387 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9388   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9389 
  9390 * Unions and Intersections:
  9391   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9392   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9393   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9394   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9395 
  9396 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9397   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9398   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9399   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9400 
  9401 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9402   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9403 
  9404 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9405   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9406 
  9407 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9408   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9409   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9410 
  9411 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9412   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9413   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9414   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9415   for examples.
  9416 
  9417 
  9418 *** HOLCF ***
  9419 
  9420 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9421 
  9422 
  9423 
  9424 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9425 ------------------------------
  9426 
  9427 *** General ***
  9428 
  9429 * Provers/simplifier:
  9430 
  9431   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9432     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9433     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9434     the order of assumptions.
  9435 
  9436     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9437 
  9438     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9439        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9440 
  9441         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9442 
  9443        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9444 
  9445         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9446 
  9447        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9448        kind of problem.
  9449 
  9450     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9451        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9452        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9453        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9454        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9455        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9456        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9457 
  9458   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9459 
  9460   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9461     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9462     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9463     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9464     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9465     the simplifier would diverge.
  9466 
  9467   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9468 
  9469   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9470     congruence is ignored.
  9471 
  9472 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9473   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9474   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9475 
  9476 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9477 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9478    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9479 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9480 
  9481 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9482 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9483       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9484 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9485 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9486 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9487 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9488 
  9489 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9490 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9491 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9492 assumption failed.
  9493 
  9494 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9495 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9496 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9497 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9498 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9499 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9500 on the old view without predicates;
  9501 
  9502 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9503 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9504 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9505 
  9506 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9507 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9508 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9509 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9510 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9511 be given (the default is 40);
  9512 
  9513 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9514 (batch-mode only);
  9515 
  9516 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9517 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9518 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9519 
  9520 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9521 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9522 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9523 
  9524 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9525 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9526 
  9527 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9528 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9529 
  9530 
  9531 *** HOL ***
  9532 
  9533 * arith(_tac)
  9534 
  9535  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9536    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9537    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9538    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9539 
  9540  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9541 
  9542  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9543    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9544    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9545 
  9546 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9547 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9548 
  9549 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9550 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9551 
  9552 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9553 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9554 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9555 
  9556 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9557 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9558 
  9559 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9560 definition;
  9561 
  9562 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9563 Finite_Set);
  9564 
  9565 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9566 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9567 
  9568 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9569   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9570 
  9571 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9572 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9573 of the empty set.
  9574 
  9575 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9576 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9577 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9578 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9579 
  9580 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9581 
  9582 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9583 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9584 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9585 
  9586 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9587 
  9588 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9589 Fleuriot);
  9590 
  9591 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9592 
  9593 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9594 Gray and Kramer);
  9595 
  9596 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9597 
  9598 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9599 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9600 
  9601 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9602 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9603 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9604 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9605 assignment, exceptions.
  9606 
  9607 
  9608 *** ZF ***
  9609 
  9610 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9611 universe, etc.);
  9612 
  9613 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9614 
  9615 
  9616 *** ML ***
  9617 
  9618 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9619 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9620 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9621 
  9622 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9623 
  9624 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9625 up simprocs;
  9626 
  9627 
  9628 *** Document preparation ***
  9629 
  9630 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9631 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9632 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9633 
  9634 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9635 other packages
  9636 
  9637 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9638 broke \Rightarrow)
  9639 
  9640 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9641 textcomp package)
  9642 
  9643 
  9644 
  9645 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9646 --------------------------------
  9647 
  9648 *** Document preparation ***
  9649 
  9650 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9651 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9652 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9653 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9654 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9655 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9656 
  9657 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9658 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9659 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9660 
  9661 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9662 blocks after section headings;
  9663 
  9664 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9665 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9666 
  9667 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9668 better in printed text;
  9669 
  9670 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9671 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9672 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9673 
  9674 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9675 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9676 location;
  9677 
  9678 
  9679 *** Isar ***
  9680 
  9681 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9682   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9683     "case (Suc n)");
  9684   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9685     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9686     instantiation of cases;
  9687   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9688     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9689     rules without further ado;
  9690   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9691     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9692     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9693     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9694     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9695   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9696     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9697     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9698     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9699     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9700     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9701   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9702     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9703     below);
  9704   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9705     success (no backtracking);
  9706   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9707   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9708   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9709     General versions);
  9710   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9711   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9712 
  9713 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9714 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9715 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9716 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9717 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9718 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9719 fails:
  9720 
  9721   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9722 
  9723 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9724 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9725 
  9726 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9727 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9728 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9729 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9730 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9731 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9732 some examples;
  9733 
  9734 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9735 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9736 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9737 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9738 qualified by the locale name);
  9739 
  9740 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9741 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9742 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9743 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9744 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9745 
  9746 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9747 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9748 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9749 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9750 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9751 
  9752 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9753 
  9754 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9755 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9756 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9757 
  9758 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9759 
  9760 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9761 
  9762 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9763 
  9764 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9765 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9766 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9767 
  9768 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9769 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9770 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9771 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9772 proof *scripts*;
  9773 
  9774 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9775 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9776 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9777 especially important for locales);
  9778 
  9779 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9780 mode;
  9781 
  9782 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9783 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9784 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9785 situations;
  9786 
  9787 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9788 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9789 
  9790 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9791 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9792 discontinued;
  9793 
  9794 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9795 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9796 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9797 
  9798 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9799 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9800 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9801 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9802 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9803 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9804 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9805 
  9806 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9807 of introduction rules;
  9808 
  9809 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9810 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9811 conditional rules;
  9812 
  9813 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9814 
  9815 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9816 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9817 
  9818 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9819 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9820 
  9821 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9822 wf_induct_rule;
  9823 
  9824 
  9825 *** HOL ***
  9826 
  9827 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9828 follows:
  9829 
  9830   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9831   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9832 
  9833   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9834   binary representation internally;
  9835 
  9836   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9837   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9838 
  9839 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9840 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9841 
  9842   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9843   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9844   to be spaced properly;
  9845 
  9846   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9847   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9848 
  9849   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9850 
  9851   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9852 
  9853 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9854 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9855 
  9856 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9857 
  9858 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9859 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9860 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9861 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9862 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9863 
  9864 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9865   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9866     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9867     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9868     declared as simp by default;
  9869   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9870     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9871   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9872     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9873   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9874   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9875     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9876     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9877   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9878     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9879 
  9880 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9881 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9882 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9883 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9884 
  9885 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9886 
  9887 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9888         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9889         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9890 
  9891 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9892 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9893 
  9894 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9895 
  9896 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9897 
  9898 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9899 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9900   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9901 
  9902 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9903 in this (rare) case use:
  9904 
  9905   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9906   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9907 
  9908 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9909 MAY FAIL;
  9910 
  9911 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9912 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9913 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9914 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9915 
  9916 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9917 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9918 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9919 
  9920 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9921 expressions;
  9922 
  9923 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9924 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9925 
  9926 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9927 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9928 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9929 
  9930 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9931 
  9932 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9933 the "cases" method);
  9934 
  9935 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9936 Florian Kammller);
  9937 
  9938 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9939 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9940 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9941 
  9942 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9943 
  9944 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;

  9949 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9950 operations;
  9951 
  9952 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9953 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9954 
  9955 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9956 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9957 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9958 
  9959 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9960 
  9961 
  9962 *** ZF ***
  9963 
  9964 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9965 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9966 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9967 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9968 
  9969 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9970 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9971 
  9972 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9973 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9974 
  9975 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9976 typeless version of the formalism;
  9977 
  9978 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9979 format;
  9980 
  9981 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9982 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9983 new-style theory format;
  9984 
  9985 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9986 
  9987 
  9988 *** General ***
  9989 
  9990 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9991 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9992 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9993 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9994 
  9995 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9996 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9997 
  9998 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9999 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
 10000 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
 10001 properly;
 10002 
 10003 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
 10004 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
 10005 
 10006 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
 10007 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
 10008 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
 10009 type variable);
 10010 
 10011 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
 10012 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
 10013 "type_brackets";
 10014 
 10015 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
 10016 tokens into AST constants;
 10017 
 10018 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
 10019 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
 10020 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
 10021 
 10022 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
 10023 practice);
 10024 
 10025 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
 10026 addSafter;
 10027 
 10028 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
 10029 as well;
 10030 
 10031 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
 10032 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
 10033 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
 10034 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
 10035 support requires further installations, e.g. from
 10036 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
 10037 
 10038 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
 10039 
 10040 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
 10041 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
 10042 
 10043 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
 10044 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
 10045 
 10046 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
 10047 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
 10048 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
 10049 
 10050 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
 10051 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
 10052 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
 10053 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
 10054 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
 10055 
 10056 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
 10057 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
 10058 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
 10059 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
 10060 
 10061 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
 10062 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
 10063 terminal);
 10064 
 10065 
 10066 
 10067 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
 10068 -----------------------------------
 10069 
 10070 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10071 
 10072 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
 10073 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
 10074 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
 10075 
 10076 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
 10077 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
 10078 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
 10079 'split_rule (complete)';
 10080 
 10081 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
 10082 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
 10083 
 10084 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
 10085 
 10086 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
 10087 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
 10088 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
 10089 
 10090 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
 10091 operation;
 10092 
 10093 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
 10094 
 10095 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
 10096 
 10097 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
 10098 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
 10099 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
 10100 
 10101 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
 10102 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
 10103 
 10104 
 10105 *** Document preparation ***
 10106 
 10107 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
 10108 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
 10109 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
 10110 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
 10111 type-writer);
 10112 
 10113 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
 10114 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
 10115 
 10116 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
 10117 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
 10118 
 10119 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
 10120 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
 10121 definitions);
 10122 
 10123 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
 10124 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
 10125 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
 10126 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
 10127 
 10128 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
 10129 fonts;
 10130 
 10131 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
 10132 generation;
 10133 
 10134 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10135 
 10136 
 10137 *** Isar ***
 10138 
 10139 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10140 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10141 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10142 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10143 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10144 
 10145 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10146 rules as well;
 10147 
 10148 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10149 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10150 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10151 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10152 
 10153 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10154 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10155 
 10156 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10157 statements as well;
 10158 
 10159 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10160 
 10161 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10162 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10163 
 10164 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10165 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10166 
 10167 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10168 
 10169 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10170 
 10171 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10172 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10173 
 10174 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10175 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10176 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10177 
 10178 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10179 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10180 the result to be shown in each case;
 10181 
 10182 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10183 
 10184 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10185 
 10186 
 10187 *** HOL ***
 10188 
 10189 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10190 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10191 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10192 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10193 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10194 
 10195 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10196 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10197 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10198 
 10199 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10200 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10201 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10202 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10203 literature;
 10204 
 10205 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10206 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10207 operator \<Sum>;
 10208 
 10209 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10210 HOL/subset.thy);
 10211 
 10212 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10213 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10214 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10215 
 10216 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10217 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10218 
 10219 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10220 rules with string literals);
 10221 
 10222 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10223  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10224  functions for the reals;
 10225 
 10226 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10227 
 10228 
 10229 *** CTT ***
 10230 
 10231 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10232 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10233 
 10234 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10235 and Arith);
 10236 
 10237 
 10238 *** General ***
 10239 
 10240 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10241 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10242 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10243 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10244 
 10245 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10246 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10247 
 10248 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10249 as assumptions as well;
 10250 
 10251 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10252 
 10253 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10254 
 10255 
 10256 
 10257 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10258 ----------------------------------
 10259 
 10260 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10261 
 10262 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10263 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10264 issue the following ML commands:
 10265 
 10266   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10267   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10268 
 10269 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10270 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10271 
 10272 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10273 
 10274 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10275 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10276 
 10277   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10278   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10279   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10280   selectI2         -> someI2
 10281   selectI          -> someI
 10282   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10283   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10284   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10285 
 10286 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10287 
 10288 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10289 instead);
 10290 
 10291 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10292 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10293 
 10294 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10295 
 10296 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10297 sometimes be needed;
 10298 
 10299 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10300 
 10301 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10302 
 10303 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10304 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10305 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10306 
 10307 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10308 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10309 
 10310 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10311 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10312 
 10313   syntax (symbols)
 10314     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10315       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10316 
 10317 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10318 
 10319 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10320 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10321 internally;
 10322 
 10323 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10324 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10325 
 10326 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10327 proofs;
 10328 
 10329 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10330 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10331 
 10332 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10333 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10334 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10335 "rule del";
 10336 
 10337 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10338 
 10339 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10340 
 10341 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10342 lib/texinputs);
 10343 
 10344 
 10345 *** Document preparation ***
 10346 
 10347 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10348 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10349 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10350 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10351 
 10352 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10353 including proper document sources;
 10354 
 10355 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10356 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10357 of isatool usedir;
 10358 
 10359 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10360 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10361 LaTeX debugging;
 10362 
 10363 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10364 
 10365 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10366 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10367 graph for 'all sessions';
 10368 
 10369 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10370 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10371 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10372 
 10373 
 10374 *** Isar ***
 10375 
 10376 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10377 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10378 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10379 
 10380 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10381 generalized existence reasoning;
 10382 
 10383 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10384 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10385 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10386 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10387 premises;
 10388 
 10389 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10390 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10391 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10392 to theorems as "tags";
 10393 
 10394 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10395 class/type/const name spaces;
 10396 
 10397 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10398 indicate potential overloading;
 10399 
 10400 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10401 
 10402 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10403 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10404 
 10405 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10406 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10407 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10408 
 10409 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10410 case name 'antecedent';
 10411 
 10412 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10413 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10414 
 10415 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10416 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10417 
 10418 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10419 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10420 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10421 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10422 
 10423 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10424 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10425 
 10426 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10427 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10428 well (including splits);
 10429 
 10430 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10431 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10432 
 10433 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10434 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10435 
 10436 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10437 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10438 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10439 
 10440 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10441 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10442 calculations;
 10443 
 10444 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10445 method anyway;
 10446 
 10447 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10448 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10449 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10450 
 10451 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10452 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10453 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10454 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10455 
 10456 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10457 
 10458 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10459 
 10460 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10461 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10462 proof states;
 10463 
 10464 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10465 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10466 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10467 
 10468 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10469 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10470 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10471 (for HOL datatypes);
 10472 
 10473 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10474 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10475 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10476 
 10477 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10478 
 10479 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10480 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10481 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10482 
 10483 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10484 
 10485 
 10486 *** HOL ***
 10487 
 10488 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10489 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10490 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10491 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10492 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10493 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10494 
 10495 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10496 Clemens Ballarin;
 10497 
 10498 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10499 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10500 Rasmussen;
 10501 
 10502 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10503 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10504 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10505 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10506 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10507 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10508 
 10509 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10510 von Oheimb;
 10511 
 10512 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10513 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10514 
 10515 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10516 
 10517 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10518 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10519 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10520 
 10521 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10522 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10523 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10524 
 10525 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10526 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10527 
 10528 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10529 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10530 
 10531 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10532    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10533    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10534   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10535     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10536   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10537     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10538 
 10539 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10540 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10541 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10542 
 10543 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10544 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10545 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10546 
 10547 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10548 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10549 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10550 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10551 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10552 
 10553 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10554 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10555 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10556 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10557 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10558 each equation;
 10559 
 10560 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10561 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10562 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10563 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10564 
 10565 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10566 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10567 
 10568 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10569 
 10570 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10571 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10572 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10573 
 10574 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10575 
 10576 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10577 main HOL, but was unused);
 10578 
 10579 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10580 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10581 
 10582 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10583 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10584 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10585 bogus);
 10586 
 10587 
 10588 *** ZF ***
 10589 
 10590 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10591 expressions over nat and int;
 10592 
 10593 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10594 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10595 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10596 
 10597 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10598 using the function intify;
 10599 
 10600 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10601 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10602 
 10603 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10604 simplification;
 10605 
 10606 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10607 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10608 
 10609 
 10610 *** General ***
 10611 
 10612 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10613 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10614 
 10615 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10616 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10617 
 10618 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10619 explicit make_elim);
 10620 
 10621 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10622   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10623 use instead the strong form,
 10624   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10625 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10626 from destruct-rules;
 10627 
 10628 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10629 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10630 
 10631 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10632 
 10633 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10634 for hiding of names;
 10635 
 10636 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10637 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10638 situations;
 10639 
 10640 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10641 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10642 Poly/ML);
 10643 
 10644 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10645 useful for remote X11);
 10646 
 10647 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10648 
 10649 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10650 order;
 10651 
 10652 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10653 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10654 
 10655 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10656 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10657 
 10658 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10659 overloading (usually false);
 10660 
 10661 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10662 results;
 10663 
 10664 
 10665 
 10666 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10667 --------------------------------
 10668 
 10669 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10670 
 10671 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10672 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10673 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10674 
 10675     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10676 
 10677 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10678 complement;
 10679 
 10680 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10681 
 10682 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10683   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10684 
 10685 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10686 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10687 
 10688 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10689 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10690 
 10691 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10692 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10693 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10694 
 10695 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10696 
 10697 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10698         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10699 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10700 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10701         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10702 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10703 
 10704 
 10705 *** Proof tools ***
 10706 
 10707 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10708 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10709 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10710 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10711 
 10712 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10713      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10714   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10715   matching.
 10716 
 10717 
 10718 *** General ***
 10719 
 10720 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10721 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10722 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10723 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10724 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10725 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10726 
 10727 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10728 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10729 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10730 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10731 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10732 
 10733 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10734 Isabelle/Isar;
 10735 
 10736 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10737 using the graph browser tool;
 10738 
 10739 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10740 
 10741 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10742 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10743 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10744 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10745 isatool doc ref);
 10746 
 10747 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10748 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10749 
 10750 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10751 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10752 
 10753 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10754 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10755 Isabelle;
 10756 
 10757 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10758 
 10759 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10760 empty;
 10761 
 10762 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10763 long arrows);
 10764 
 10765 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10766 
 10767 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10768 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10769 
 10770 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10771 mode and goal output format:
 10772 
 10773 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10774 244c244
 10775 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10776 ---
 10777 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10778 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10779 181c181
 10780 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10781 ---
 10782 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10783 
 10784 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10785 
 10786 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10787 
 10788 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10789 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10790 result still apply;
 10791 
 10792 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10793 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10794 
 10795 
 10796 *** HOL ***
 10797 
 10798 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10799 
 10800 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10801 int:
 10802 
 10803 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10804 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10805 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10806 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10807 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10808 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10809 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10810 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10811 
 10812 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10813 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10814 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10815 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10816 simplifier.
 10817 
 10818 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10819 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10820 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10821 
 10822 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10823 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10824 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10825 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10826 type constraints;
 10827 
 10828 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10829 arguments;
 10830 
 10831 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10832 are now available;
 10833 
 10834 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10835 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10836 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10837 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10838 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10839   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10840 
 10841 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10842 
 10843 
 10844 ** HOL misc **
 10845 
 10846 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10847 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10848 
 10849 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10850 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10851 
 10852 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10853 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10854 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10855 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10856 
 10857 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10858   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10859   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10860   "mono" attribute);
 10861 
 10862 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10863   (using function types) such as
 10864 
 10865   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10866 
 10867 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10868 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10869 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10870 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10871 
 10872   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10873   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10874 
 10875 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10876 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10877 
 10878 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10879 names rather than an ML expression;
 10880 
 10881 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10882 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10883     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10884 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10885 
 10886 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10887 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10888 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10889 
 10890 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10891 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10892 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10893 
 10894 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10895 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10896 
 10897 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10898 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10899 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10900 
 10901 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10902 
 10903 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10904 thus available for user theories;
 10905 
 10906 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10907 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10908 time;
 10909 
 10910 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10911 several times and then mp;
 10912 
 10913 
 10914 *** LK ***
 10915 
 10916 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10917 formulas;
 10918 
 10919 * the simplifier is now installed
 10920 
 10921 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10922 
 10923 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10924 
 10925 
 10926 *** ZF ***
 10927 
 10928 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10929 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10930 
 10931 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10932 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10933 
 10934 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10935 
 10936 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10937 constructors;
 10938 
 10939 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10940 type-checking rules;
 10941 
 10942 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10943 to the claset;
 10944 
 10945 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10946 if(P,x,y);
 10947 
 10948 
 10949 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10950 
 10951 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10952 
 10953 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10954 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10955 
 10956 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10957 
 10958 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10959 printing empty lines;
 10960 
 10961 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10962 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10963 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10964 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10965 
 10966 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10967 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10968 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10969 
 10970 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10971 now of type real instead of int;
 10972 
 10973 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10974 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10975 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10976 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10977 
 10978 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10979 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10980 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10981 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10982 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10983 
 10984 
 10985 
 10986 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10987 ----------------------------------
 10988 
 10989 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10990 
 10991 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10992 
 10993 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10994 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10995 
 10996 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10997 called `inj_on';
 10998 
 10999 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 11000   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 11001   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 11002 
 11003 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 11004 required);
 11005 
 11006 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 11007 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 11008 now taken as an integer constant.
 11009 
 11010 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 11011 
 11012 
 11013 *** Proof tools ***
 11014 
 11015 * Simplifier:
 11016   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 11017      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 11018         simplify.
 11019      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 11020         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 11021      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 11022      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 11023   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 11024 
 11025 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 11026 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 11027 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 11028 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 11029 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 11030 one (emitting a warning).
 11031   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 11032   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 11033   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 11034   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 11035   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 11036 
 11037 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 11038 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 11039 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 11040 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 11041 by Force_tac;
 11042 
 11043 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 11044 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 11045 
 11046 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 11047 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 11048 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 11049 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 11050 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 11051 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 11052 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 11053 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 11054 split_all_tac for record fields.
 11055 
 11056 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 11057 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 11058 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 11059 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 11060 
 11061 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 11062 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 11063 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 11064 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 11065 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 11066 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 11067 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 11068 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 11069 t is the name of the datatype).
 11070 
 11071 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 11072 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 11073 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 11074 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 11075 
 11076 
 11077 *** General ***
 11078 
 11079 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 11080 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 11081 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 11082 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 11083 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 11084 (backup your sources first!);
 11085 
 11086 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 11087 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 11088 
 11089 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 11090 definitions that have local scope;
 11091 
 11092 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 11093 
 11094 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 11095 (e.g. package initialization);
 11096 
 11097 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 11098 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 11099 
 11100 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 11101 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 11102 
 11103 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 11104 
 11105 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 11106 
 11107 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 11108 
 11109 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 11110 
 11111 
 11112 *** HOL ***
 11113 
 11114 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 11115 
 11116 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 11117 definitions such as
 11118 
 11119   inductive EVEN ODD
 11120     intrs
 11121       null "0 : EVEN"
 11122       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 11123       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 11124 
 11125 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 11126 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 11127 correctly (also ZF);
 11128 
 11129 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 11130 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 11131 contained in "induct";
 11132 
 11133 
 11134 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11135 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11136 
 11137   datatype
 11138     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11139             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11140             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11141             | NUM 'a
 11142   and
 11143     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11144             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11145             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11146 
 11147 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11148 
 11149   datatype
 11150     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11151                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11152 
 11153 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11154 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11155 
 11156 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11157 <function_name>.simps.
 11158 
 11159 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11160 
 11161   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11162     ancestor.
 11163   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11164     generic induct_tac instead.
 11165   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11166     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11167     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11168     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11169   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11170     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11171   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11172     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11173     sort constraints.
 11174   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11175     of recursive argument.
 11176 
 11177 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11178 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11179 
 11180 
 11181 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11182 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11183 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11184 support is as follows:
 11185 
 11186   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11187 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11188 
 11189   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11190 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11191 
 11192   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11193 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11194 
 11195 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11196 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11197 the name of your record type.
 11198 
 11199 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11200 
 11201   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11202 
 11203 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11204 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11205 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11206 solve record problems automatically.
 11207 
 11208 
 11209 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11210 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11211 
 11212 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11213 
 11214 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11215 
 11216 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11217 
 11218 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11219 
 11220 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11221 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11222 with add/delsplits);
 11223 
 11224 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11225 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11226 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11227 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11228 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11229 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11230 %u.f();
 11231 
 11232 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11233 makes more sense);
 11234 
 11235 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11236   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11237   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11238 
 11239 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11240 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11241 literature);
 11242 
 11243 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11244 the well-founded relation;
 11245 
 11246 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11247     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11248     release ONLY.
 11249 
 11250 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11251     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11252 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11253 
 11254 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11255 
 11256 * HOL/List:
 11257   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11258     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11259   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11260     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11261     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11262   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11263 
 11264 * HOL/Arith:
 11265   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11266   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11267   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11268   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11269 
 11270 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11271 instead of "inverse";
 11272 
 11273 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11274   of the multiset ordering;
 11275 
 11276 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11277   (not included by default);
 11278 
 11279 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11280 
 11281 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11282   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11283 
 11284 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11285   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11286   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11287 
 11288 
 11289 *** ZF ***
 11290 
 11291 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11292   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11293 
 11294 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11295   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11296   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11297 
 11298 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11299     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11300   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11301 
 11302 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11303 
 11304 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11305   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11306   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11307 
 11308 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11309     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11310 
 11311 
 11312 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11313 
 11314 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11315 also src/Pure/README;
 11316 
 11317 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11318 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11319 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11320 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11321 
 11322 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11323 are qualified by default;
 11324 
 11325 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11326 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11327 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11328 
 11329 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11330 cterm -> thm;
 11331 
 11332 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11333 subgoal;
 11334 
 11335 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11336 
 11337 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11338 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11339 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11340 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11341 for example;
 11342 
 11343 
 11344 
 11345 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11346 --------------------------------
 11347 
 11348 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11349 
 11350 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11351 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11352 
 11353 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11354 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11355 
 11356 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11357 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11358 
 11359 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11360 
 11361 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11362 
 11363 
 11364 *** General Changes ***
 11365 
 11366 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11367 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11368 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11369 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11370 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11371 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11372 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11373 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11374 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11375 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11376 section;
 11377 
 11378 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11379 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11380 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11381 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11382 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11383 
 11384 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11385 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11386 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11387 
 11388 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11389 conditional equations;
 11390 
 11391 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11392 
 11393 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11394 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11395 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11396 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11397 
 11398 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11399 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11400 
 11401 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11402 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11403 
 11404 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11405 show_types);
 11406 
 11407 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11408 
 11409 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11410 
 11411 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11412 
 11413 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11414 
 11415 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11416 
 11417 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11418     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11419 
 11420 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11421 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11422 
 11423 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11424 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11425 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11426 
 11427 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11428 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11429 
 11430 
 11431 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11432 
 11433 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11434 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11435 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11436 
 11437 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11438 
 11439 
 11440 *** Simplifier ***
 11441 
 11442 * added simplification meta rules:
 11443     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11444 
 11445 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11446 logics (again);
 11447 
 11448 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11449 
 11450 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11451   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11452   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11453 
 11454 
 11455 *** Syntax ***
 11456 
 11457 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11458 
 11459 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11460 
 11461 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11462 
 11463 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11464 
 11465 
 11466 *** HOL ***
 11467 
 11468 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11469   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11470 
 11471 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11472 
 11473 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11474   protocol TLS;
 11475 
 11476 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11477 
 11478 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11479 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11480 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11481 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11482 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11483 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11484 
 11485 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11486   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11487   are rewritten to
 11488   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11489   and those of the form
 11490   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11491   are rewritten to
 11492   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11493 
 11494 * HOL/datatype
 11495   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11496 
 11497   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11498      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11499         ...
 11500        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11501      )
 11502 
 11503   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11504 
 11505   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11506     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11507         ...
 11508        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11509      )
 11510   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11511   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11512   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11513 
 11514 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11515   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11516     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11517     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11518   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11519     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11520     `standard'.
 11521 
 11522 * HOL/Lists:
 11523   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11524   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11525   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11526 
 11527 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11528 
 11529 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11530   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11531 
 11532 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11533 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11534 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11535 
 11536 
 11537 *** HOLCF ***
 11538 
 11539 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11540 
 11541 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11542   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11543 
 11544 * domain package:
 11545   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11546   . creates hierachical name space,
 11547   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11548   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11549   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11550   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11551   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11552     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11553 
 11554 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11555 
 11556 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11557 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11558 
 11559 
 11560 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11561 
 11562 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11563   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11564 
 11565 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11566 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11567 
 11568 
 11569 
 11570 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11571 ------------------------------
 11572 
 11573 *** General Changes ***
 11574 
 11575 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11576 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11577 
 11578 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11579 
 11580 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11581 
 11582 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11583 messages and clean internal interface;
 11584 
 11585 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11586 setting goals_limit);
 11587 
 11588 
 11589 *** Syntax ***
 11590 
 11591 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11592 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11593 
 11594 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11595 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11596 "symbols" syntax table;
 11597 
 11598 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11599 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11600 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11601 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11602 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11603 
 11604 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11605 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11606 version of xterm);
 11607 
 11608 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11609 
 11610 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11611 access type of constant);
 11612 
 11613 
 11614 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11615 
 11616 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11617 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11618   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11619   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11620         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11621   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11622   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11623     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11624   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11625 
 11626 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11627 assumptions;
 11628 
 11629 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11630 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11631 (and access functions for it);
 11632 
 11633 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11634   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11635   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11636     safe steps.
 11637   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11638     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11639     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11640 
 11641 *** Simplifier ***
 11642 
 11643 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11644 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11645 redex);
 11646 
 11647 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11648 
 11649 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11650 
 11651 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11652 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11653 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11654 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11655 
 11656 
 11657 *** HOL ***
 11658 
 11659 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11660 also for type `nat';
 11661 
 11662 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11663 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11664 
 11665 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11666 
 11667 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11668 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11669 
 11670 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11671 
 11672 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11673 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11674 
 11675 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11676 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11677 
 11678 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11679 infinite lists;
 11680 
 11681 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11682 
 11683 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11684 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11685 
 11686 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11687 
 11688 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11689 
 11690 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11691 
 11692 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11693 
 11694 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11695   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11696   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11697   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11698   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11699   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11700   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11701   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11702   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11703 
 11704 
 11705 *** ZF ***
 11706 
 11707 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11708 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11709 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11710 
 11711 
 11712 
 11713 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11714 ---------------------------------
 11715 
 11716 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11717 
 11718 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11719 
 11720 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11721 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11722 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11723 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11724 
 11725 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11726 
 11727 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11728 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11729 
 11730 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11731 
 11732 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11733 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11734 
 11735 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11736 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11737 
 11738 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11739 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11740 
 11741 
 11742 
 11743 New in Isabelle94-6
 11744 -------------------
 11745 
 11746 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11747 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11748 
 11749 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11750 
 11751 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11752 
 11753 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11754 
 11755 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11756 
 11757 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11758 
 11759 
 11760 
 11761 New in Isabelle94-5
 11762 -------------------
 11763 
 11764 * reduced space requirements;
 11765 
 11766 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11767 
 11768 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11769 
 11770 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11771 
 11772 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11773 
 11774 
 11775 
 11776 New in Isabelle94-4
 11777 -------------------
 11778 
 11779 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11780 
 11781 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11782 
 11783 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11784 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11785 
 11786 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11787 Axiom of Choice;
 11788 
 11789 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11790 
 11791 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11792 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11793 
 11794 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11795 
 11796 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11797 translates to the operator "split";
 11798 
 11799 
 11800 
 11801 New in Isabelle94-3
 11802 -------------------
 11803 
 11804 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11805 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11806         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11807 
 11808 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11809 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11810 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11811 
 11812 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11813 
 11814 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11815 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11816 
 11817 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11818 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11819 
 11820 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11821 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11822 
 11823 
 11824 
 11825 New in Isabelle94-2
 11826 -------------------
 11827 
 11828 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11829 
 11830 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11831 freely;
 11832 
 11833 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11834 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11835 
 11836 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11837 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11838 (theory_of_thm);
 11839 
 11840 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11841 
 11842 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11843 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11844 
 11845 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11846 have been removed;
 11847 
 11848 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11849 
 11850 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11851 
 11852 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11853 types;
