     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    10 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    11 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    12 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    13 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    14 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    15 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    16 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    17 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    18 syntax.
    19 
    20 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    21 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    24 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    25 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    26 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    27 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    28 
    29 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    30 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    31 
    32 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
    33 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
    34 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation, with its
    35 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs, has been discontinued.
    36 The default chapter is "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for HTML
    37 presentation of theories.
    38 
    39 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    40 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    41 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    44 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    45 
    46 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    47 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    48 
    49 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    50 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    51 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    52 
    53 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    54 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    55 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    56 
    57 
    58 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    59 
    60 * Improved "Theories" panel: Continuous checking of proof document
    61 (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly, using check
    62 box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may be marked
    63 explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box or
    64 shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    65 
    66 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancelation of
    67 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    68 such command executions while editing.
    69 
    70 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    71 document content.
    72 
    73 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    74 toplevel theorem statements.
    75 
    76 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    77 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    78 
    79 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    80 documentation.
    81 
    82 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    83 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    84 normal editing and checking process.
    85 
    86 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    87 timing information.
    88 
    89 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
    90 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
    91 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
    92 
    93 
    94 *** Pure ***
    95 
    96 * Type theory is now immutable, without any special treatment of
    97 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
    98 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
    99 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   100 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   101 
   102 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   103 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   104 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   105 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   106 
   107 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   108 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   109 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   110 
   111 * Target-sensitive commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale'.
   112 Particulary, 'interpretation' now allows for non-persistent
   113 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks.  See
   114 "isar-ref" manual for details.
   115 
   116 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   117 
   118 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   119 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   120 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   121 
   122 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   123 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   124 
   125 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   126 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   127 situations.
   128 
   129 
   130 *** HOL ***
   131 
   132 * Improved support for adhoc overloading of constants (see also
   133 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   134 
   135 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   136 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   137 to distinguish both when desired.
   138 
   139 * Code generator:
   140   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   141     'code_instance'.
   142   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   143     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   144   See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories
   145   for examples.
   146 
   147 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   148   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   149   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   150     generated code.
   151   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   152   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   153   - Fact renames:
   154     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   155     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   156     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   157 IMCOMPATIBILTIY.
   158 
   159 * Reification and reflection:
   160   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   161     "Reification".
   162   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   163   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   165 
   166 * Weaker precendence of syntax for big intersection and union on sets,
   167 in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   168 
   169 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   170 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   171 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   172 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   173 
   174   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   175 
   176 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   177 
   178 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   179   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   180     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   181     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   182   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   183     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   184   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   185     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   186     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   187     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   188     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   189     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   190     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   191     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly. 
   192   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   193     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   194   - Fact renames:
   195       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   196       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   197 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   198 
   199 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   200 
   201 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.
   202 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   203 
   204 * Discontinued obsolete src/HOL/IsaMakefile (considered legacy since
   205 Isabelle2013).  Use "isabelle build" to operate on Isabelle sessions.
   206 
   207 * Numeric types mapped by default to target language numerals: natural
   208 (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former code_int).
   209 Conversions are available as integer_of_natural / natural_of_integer /
   210 integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   211 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   212 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   213 
   214 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   215 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   216 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   217 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   218 
   219 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   220 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   221 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   222 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   223 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   224 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   225 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   226 lemmas.
   227 
   228 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   229 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   230 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   231 
   232 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   233 top and bottom elements.
   234 
   235 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   236 
   237 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   238 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   239 
   240  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and linear_continuum_topology.
   241    Allows to generalize theorems about limits and order.
   242    Instances are reals and extended reals.
   243 
   244  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   245    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.
   246    "isCont" is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   247 
   248    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an arbitrary
   249    filter.
   250 
   251  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma
   252    to prove compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   253    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a continuous
   254    function is continuous, when the function is continuous on a compact set.
   255 
   256  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   257    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   258    linear_continuum_topology).
   259 
   260  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   261    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and on
   262    all sequences converging to x.
   263 
   264  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved theorems
   265    from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the definition of DERIV on
   266    FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV which are restricted to sets,
   267    i.e. to represent derivatives from left or right.
   268 
   269  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   270 
   271      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   272 
   273  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   274    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   275 
   276  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros, continuous_intros,
   277    continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems in tendsto_intros (or
   278    FDERIV_intros) are also available as tendsto_eq_intros (or
   279    FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side is replaced by a congruence
   280    rule. This allows to apply them as intro rules and then proving
   281    equivalence by the simplifier.
   282 
   283  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   284 
   285    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   286 
   287    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   288      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   289 
   290    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   291 
   292    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces, Real_Vector_Spaces, and
   293      Limits
   294 
   295    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   296 
   297    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   298 
   299  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   300 
   301 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   302 
   303 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   304 
   305     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   306     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   307 
   308 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   309 
   310 * Sledgehammer:
   311 
   312   - Renamed option:
   313       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   314 
   315 * HOL-Spec_Check: a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle's ML environment.
   316   
   317   With HOL-Spec_Check, ML developers can check specifications with the
   318   ML function check_property. The specifications must be of the form
   319   "ALL x1 ... xn. Prop x1 ... xn". Simple examples are in
   320   src/HOL/Spec_Check/Examples.thy.
   321 
   322 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   323 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   324 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   325 
   326 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   327 .../poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   328 src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides integration
   329 with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   330 
   331 
   332 *** ML ***
   333 
   334 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   335 
   336     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   337     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   338 
   339 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   340 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   341 
   342 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   343 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   344 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   345 clasets separately from the context.
   346 
   347 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   348 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   349 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   350 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   351 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   352 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   353 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   354 
   355 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   356 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   357 
   358 
   359 *** System ***
   360 
   361 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   362 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   363 
   364 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   365 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   366 
   367 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   368 settings variable.
   369 
   370 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   371 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   372 always pdf.
   373 
   374 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   375 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   376 
   377 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   378 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   379 
   380 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   381 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   382 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   383 
   384 
   385 
   386 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   387 -----------------------------------
   388 
   389 *** General ***
   390 
   391 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   392 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   393 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   394 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   395 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   396 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   397 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   398 
   399 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   400 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   401 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   402 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   403 
   404 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   405 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   406 
   407 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   408 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   409 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   410 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   411 dependencies properly.
   412 
   413 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   414 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   415 
   416 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   417 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   418 
   419 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   420 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   421 and "class ... context ...".
   422 
   423 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   424 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   425 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   426 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   427 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   428 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   429 
   430 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   431 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   432 
   433 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   434 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   435 
   436 
   437 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   438 
   439 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   440 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   441 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   442 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   443 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   444 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   445 
   446 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   447 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   448 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   449 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   450 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   451 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   452 
   453 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   454 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   455 browser on demand.
   456 
   457 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   458 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   459 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   460 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   461 
   462 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   463 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   464 
   465 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   466 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   467 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   468 potentially infinite message streams.
   469 
   470 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   471 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   472 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   473 schemes.
   474 
   475 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   476 symbols.
   477 
   478 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   479 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   480 
   481 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   482 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   483 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   484 
   485 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   486 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   487 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   488 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   489 
   490 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   491 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   492 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   493 
   494 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   495 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   496 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   497 Isabelle distribution.
   498 
   499 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   500 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   501 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   502 
   503 
   504 *** Pure ***
   505 
   506 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   507 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   508 
   509 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   510 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   511 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   512 
   513 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   514 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   515 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   516 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   517 with some care where this is really required.
   518 
   519 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   520 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   521 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   522 
   523   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   524 
   525 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   526 a Hasse diagram.
   527 
   528 
   529 *** HOL ***
   530 
   531 * Sledgehammer:
   532 
   533   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   534     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   535   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   536   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   537   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   538   - Renamed options:
   539       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   540       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   541       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   542       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   543 
   544 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   545 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   546 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   547 
   548 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   549 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   550 
   551 * Lifting:
   552   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   553   - quot_del attribute
   554   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   555 
   556 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   557 expressions.
   558 
   559 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   560 pointfree expressions.
   561 
   562 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   563 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   564 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   565 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   566 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   567 
   568 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   569 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   570 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   571 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   572 accordingly.
   573 
   574 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   575 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   576 
   577 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   578 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   579 
   580 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   581 
   582 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   583 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   584 
   585 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   586 
   587 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   588 
   589   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   590   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   591 
   592 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   593 
   594 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   595 
   596   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   597   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   598 
   599 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   600 
   601 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   602 
   603   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   604     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   605     output f x converges to G.
   606 
   607   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   608     infinity (at_bot).
   609 
   610   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   611     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   612 
   613   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   614     at_top".
   615 
   616 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   617 
   618 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   619 lattice type classes.
   620 
   621 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   622 
   623     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   624     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   625 
   626 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   627 
   628 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   629 changes as follows.
   630 
   631   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   632 
   633       prefix ~> prefixeq
   634       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   635 
   636   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   637     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   638     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   639     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   640 
   641   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   642     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   643     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   644 
   645   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   646     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   647     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   648     Library/Prefix_Order.
   649 
   650   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   651     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   652 
   653       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   654       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   655       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   656       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   657       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   658       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   659       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   660       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   661       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   662       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   663       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   664       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   665       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   666       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   667       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   668       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   669 
   670 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   671 
   672 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   673 
   674 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   675 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   676 
   677 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   678 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   679 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   680 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   681 
   682   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   683   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   684   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   685   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   686   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   687   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   688   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   689   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   690   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   691   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   692 
   693 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   694 
   695 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   696 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   697 Data").
   698 
   699 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   700 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   701 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   702 code.
   703 
   704 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   705 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   706 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   707 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   708 
   709 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   710 
   711 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   712 
   713 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   714 
   715   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   716   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   717 
   718 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   719 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   720 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   721 
   722   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   723 
   724     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   725     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   726     cart_base i  removed
   727     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   728 
   729   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   730 
   731   Renamed lemmas:
   732 
   733     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   734     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   735     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   736     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   737     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   738     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   739     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   740     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   741     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   742     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   743 
   744 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   745 
   746 * HOL/Probability:
   747 
   748   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   749 
   750   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   751     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   752     (borel_measurable_induct).
   753 
   754   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   755     projective family).
   756 
   757 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   758 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   759 
   760 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   761 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   762 datatypes.
   763 
   764 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   765 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   766 
   767 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   768 trees for the code generator.
   769 
   770 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   771 Lifting/Transfer.
   772 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   773 
   774 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   775 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   776 
   777 
   778 *** Document preparation ***
   779 
   780 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   781 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   782 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   783 
   784 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   785 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   786 
   787 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   788 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   789 document/root.tex.
   790 
   791 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   792 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   793 
   794 
   795 *** ML ***
   796 
   797 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   798 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   799 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   800 
   801 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   802 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   803 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   804 
   805 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   806 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   807 necessarily printing visible text.
   808 
   809 
   810 *** System ***
   811 
   812 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   813 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   814 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   815 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   816 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   817 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   818 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   819 
   820 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   821 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   822 
   823   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   824 
   825 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   826 
   827 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   828 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   829 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   830 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   831 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   832 
   833 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   834 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   835 
   836 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   837 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   838 
   839 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   840 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   841 
   842 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   843 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   844 version of Isabelle.
   845 
   846 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   847 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   848 
   849 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   850 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   851 for home-made settings.
   852 
   853 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   854 
   855 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   856 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   857 configuration.
   858 
   859 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   860 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   861 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   862 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   863 bundled as Isabelle component.
   864 
   865 
   866 
   867 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   868 ------------------------------
   869 
   870 *** General ***
   871 
   872 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   873 
   874   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   875     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   876   - markup for bound variables
   877   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   878   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   879   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   880     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   881 
   882 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   883 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   884 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   885 
   886 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   887 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   888 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   889 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   890 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   891 
   892   context
   893     fixes x y z :: 'a
   894     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   895   begin
   896 
   897   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   898 
   899   end
   900 
   901   thm my_trans
   902 
   903 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   904 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   905 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   906 
   907 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   908 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   909 
   910 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   911 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   912 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   913 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   914 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   915 
   916 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   917 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   918 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   919 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   920 indices of schematic variables.
   921 
   922 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   923 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   924 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   925 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   926 etc. was exploited.
   927 
   928 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   929 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   930 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   931 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   932 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   933 of the material of that old tutorial.
   934 
   935 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   936 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   937 manual.
   938 
   939 
   940 *** Pure ***
   941 
   942 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   943 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   944 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   945 
   946 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   947 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   948 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   949 undocumented feature.)
   950 
   951 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   952 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   953 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   954 
   955   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   956 
   957   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   958     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   959 
   960 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   961 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   962 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   963 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   964 
   965 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   966 
   967     num ~> num_token
   968     xnum ~> xnum_token
   969     xstr ~> str_token
   970 
   971 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   972 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   973 position information via constraints).
   974 
   975 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   976 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   977 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   978 
   979 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   980 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   981 
   982 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   983 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   984 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   985 
   986 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   987 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   988 
   989 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   990 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   991 
   992   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   993 
   994 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   995 
   996 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   997 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   998 
   999 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1000 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1001 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1002 
  1003 
  1004 *** HOL ***
  1005 
  1006 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1007 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1008 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1009 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1010 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1011 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1012 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1013 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1014 possible.
  1015 
  1016 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1017 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1018 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1019 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1020 
  1021 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1022 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1023 
  1024 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1025 
  1026 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1027 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1028 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1029 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1030 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1031 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1032 
  1033   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1034     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1035 
  1036   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1037     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1038     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1039 
  1040   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1041     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1042 
  1043   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1044     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1045     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1046 
  1047   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1048     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1049 
  1050 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1051 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1052 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1053 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1054 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1055 
  1056   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1057     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1058     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1059     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1060     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1061 
  1062     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1063     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1064 
  1065   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1066     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1067     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1068     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1069     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1070     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1071     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1072     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1073 
  1074   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1075     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1076     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1077     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1078 
  1079   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1080     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1081     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1082     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1083 
  1084   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1085     from type nat to type int.
  1086 
  1087 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1088 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1089 
  1090   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1091     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1092     type.  Example syntax:
  1093 
  1094     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1095       is List.insert
  1096 
  1097     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1098     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1099     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1100     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1101     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1102     by the package.
  1103 
  1104   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1105     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1106     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1107     code generation for each constant.
  1108 
  1109   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1110     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1111     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1112     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1113     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1114 
  1115   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1116     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1117     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1118 
  1119 * Quotient package:
  1120 
  1121   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1122     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1123 
  1124   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1125     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1126 
  1127   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1128     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1129     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1130 
  1131   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1132     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1133 
  1134 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1135 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1136 
  1137 * Quickcheck:
  1138 
  1139   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1140     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1141     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1142     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1143     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1144 
  1145     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1146     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1147     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1148 
  1149     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1150     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1151 
  1152     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1153     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1154     show genuine counterexamples.
  1155 
  1156   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1157     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1158 
  1159     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1160     constructors of that type.
  1161 
  1162   - Support for multisets.
  1163 
  1164   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1165 
  1166   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1167     conjectures in a locale context.
  1168 
  1169 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1170 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1171 
  1172 * Sledgehammer:
  1173   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1174     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1175   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1176   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1177     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1178   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1179   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1180   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1181   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1182 
  1183 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1184 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1185 
  1186 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1187 
  1188 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1189 
  1190 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1191 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1192 
  1193   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1194 
  1195 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1196 a list and a nat.
  1197 
  1198 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1199 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1200 
  1201 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1202 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1203 default.
  1204 
  1205 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1206 
  1207   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1208 
  1209 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1210 
  1211 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1212 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1213 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1214 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1215 one_case.
  1216 
  1217 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1218 the result of the fact expression.
  1219 
  1220 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1221 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1222 of some relation theorems:
  1223 
  1224   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1225   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1226   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1227   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1228   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1229   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1230 
  1231 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1232 
  1233 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1234 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1235 
  1236 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1237 
  1238 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1239 to match the constant's name:
  1240 
  1241   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1242   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  1243   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  1244   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  1245   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  1246   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  1247   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  1248   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  1249   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  1250   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  1251   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  1252   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  1253   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  1254   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  1255   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  1256   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  1257   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  1258   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  1259   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  1260   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  1261   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  1262   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1263   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1264   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  1265 
  1266 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1267 
  1268 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  1269 and corresponding theorem names:
  1270 
  1271   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  1272 
  1273   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  1274 
  1275   - Renamed theorems:
  1276 
  1277     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  1278     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  1279     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  1280     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  1281     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  1282     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  1283     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  1284     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  1285     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  1286     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  1287     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
  1288     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
  1289     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1290     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
  1291     pred_compI ~> relcomppI
  1292     pred_compE ~> relcomppE
  1293     pred_comp_bot1 ~> relcompp_bot1
  1294     pred_comp_bot2 ~> relcompp_bot2
  1295     transp_pred_comp_less_eq ~> transp_relcompp_less_eq
  1296     pred_comp_mono ~> relcompp_mono
  1297     pred_comp_distrib ~> relcompp_distrib
  1298     pred_comp_distrib2 ~> relcompp_distrib2
  1299     converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp
  1300 
  1301     finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp
  1302 
  1303     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  1304 
  1305 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1306 
  1307 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
  1308 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.
  1309 
  1310   DIVISION_BY_ZERO ~> div_by_0, mod_by_0
  1311   zdiv_self ~> div_self

  1329   mod_mult_distrib ~> mult_mod_left
  1330   mod_mult_distrib2 ~> mult_mod_right

  1367 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
  1368 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
  1369 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
  1370 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".

  1616 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for

  1618 
  1619 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of

  1621 
  1622 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1623 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is

  1625 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1673 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1674 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1675 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1676 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1677 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1678 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1679 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1680 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1681 
  1682 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1683 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1684 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1685 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1686 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1687 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1688 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1689 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1690 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1691 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1692 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1693 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1694 
  1695   Renamed constants:
  1696   measure -> emeasure
  1697   finite_measure.\<mu>' -> measure

  1699   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  1855 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1856 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1857 
  1858 
  1859 *** FOL ***
  1860 
  1861 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1862 
  1863 
  1864 *** ZF ***
  1865 
  1866 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1867 analysis.
  1868 
  1869 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1870 
  1871 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1872 
  1873 
  1874 *** ML ***
  1875 
  1876 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1877 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1878 
  1879 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1880 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1881 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1882 
  1883 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1884 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1885 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1886 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1887 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1888 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1889 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1890 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1891 
  1892 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1893 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1894 
  1895 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1896 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1897 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1898 
  1899 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1900 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1901 
  1902 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1903 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1904 context as well.
  1905 
  1906 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1907 
  1908   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1909   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1910   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  1911   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  1912   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  1913   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  1914   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  1915   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  1916   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1917   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1918   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1919   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1920 
  1921 
  1922 *** System ***
  1923 
  1924 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1925 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1926 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1927 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1928 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1929 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1930 the generic user home was intended.
  1931 
  1932 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1933 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1934 
  1935 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1936 (not just JRE).
  1937 
  1938 
  1939 
  1940 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1941 ------------------------------------
  1942 
  1943 *** General ***
  1944 
  1945 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1946 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1947 
  1948   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1949     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1950     files for checking).
  1951 
  1952   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1953     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1954     positions.
  1955 
  1956   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1957     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1958     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1959 
  1960   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1961     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1962     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1963 
  1964   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1965     cores.
  1966 
  1967   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1968     versions (garbage collection).
  1969 
  1970 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1971 including some remaining limitations.
  1972 
  1973 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1974 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1975 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1976 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1977 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1978 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1979 
  1980 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1981 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1982 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1983 
  1984 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1985 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1986 usedir option -Q.
  1987 
  1988 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1989 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1990 
  1991   long_names   ~> names_long
  1992   short_names  ~> names_short
  1993   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1994 
  1995 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1996 
  1997   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1998 
  1999 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2000 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2001 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2002 
  2003 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2004 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2005 
  2006 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2007   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2008   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2009   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2010     "Classical Reasoner".
  2011 
  2012 
  2013 *** HOL ***
  2014 
  2015 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2016 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2017 
  2018 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2019 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2020 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2021 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2022 class complete_linorder.
  2023 
  2024 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2025 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2026 
  2027 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2028 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2029 
  2030   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2031   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2032   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2033   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2034   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2035   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2036   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2037   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2038   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2039   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2040   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2041 
  2042 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2043 
  2044   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2045   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2046   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  2057   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2058   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2059   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2060 
  2061 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2062 
  2063 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2064 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2065 
  2066 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2067 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2068 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2069 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2070 
  2071 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2072 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2073 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2074 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2075 
  2076 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2077 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2078 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2079 
  2080 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2081 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2082 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2083 
  2084 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2085 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2086 
  2087 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2088 
  2089     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2090     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2091 
  2092 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2093 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2094 
  2095 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2096 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2097 
  2098 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2099 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2100 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2101 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2197 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2198 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2199 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2200 
  2201 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2202 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2203 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2204 
  2205 * Code generation:
  2206 
  2207   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2208     characters in the target language.
  2209 
  2210   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2211     instead.
  2212 
  2213   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2214 
  2215   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2216     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2217 
  2218       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2219 
  2220 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2221 
  2222 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2223 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2224 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2225 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2226 syntax.
  2227 
  2228 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2229 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2230 
  2231 * Nitpick:
  2232   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2233   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2234   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2235     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2236 
  2237 * Sledgehammer:
  2238   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2239   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2240     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2241   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2242     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2243   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2244     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2245   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2246     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2247   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2248     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2249 
  2250 * Metis:
  2251   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2252   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2253     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2254 
  2255 * Command 'try':
  2256   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2257     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2258   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2259     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2260 
  2261 * Quickcheck:
  2262   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2263     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2264   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2265     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2266   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2267     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2268     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2269     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2270   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2271     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2272 
  2273 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2274 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2275 
  2276 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2277 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2278 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2279 
  2280 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2281 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2282 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2283 
  2284 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2285 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2286 
  2287 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2288 arithmetic.
  2289 
  2290 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2291 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2292 and lattice type classes.
  2293 
  2294 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2295 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2296 
  2297 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2298 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2299 
  2300 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2301 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2302 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2303 
  2304   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2305   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2306   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2307   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2308 
  2309 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2310 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2311 constants:
  2312 
  2313   type inat   ~> type enat
  2314   Fin         ~> enat
  2315   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2316   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2317   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2318 
  2319 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2320 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2321 
  2322 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2323 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2324 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2325 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2326 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2327 
  2328 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2329 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2330 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2331 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2332 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2333 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2334 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2335 
  2336   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2337   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2338   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2339   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2340 
  2341 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2342 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2343 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2397 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2398   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2399   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2400   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2401   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2402     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2434 
  2435 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2436 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2437 same.
  2438 
  2439 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2440 result.
  2441 
  2442 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2443 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2444 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2445 
  2446 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2447 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2448 
  2449 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2450 like this:
  2451 
  2452   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2453   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2454 
  2455 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2456 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2457 layouts.
  2458 
  2459 
  2460 *** ML ***
  2461 
  2462 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2463 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2464 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2465 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2466 under external program control.
  2467 
  2468 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2469 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2470 
  2471 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2472 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2473 (better known as Proof General).
  2474 
  2475 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2476 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2477 
  2478 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2479 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2480 
  2481 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2482 (including quotes etc.).
  2483 
  2484 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2485 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2486 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2487 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2488 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2489 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2490 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2491 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2492 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2493 
  2494 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2495 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2496 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2497 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2498 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2499 
  2500 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2501 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2502 
  2503 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2504 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2505 
  2506 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2507 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2508 
  2509 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2510 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2511 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2512 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2513 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2514 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2515 proper Proof.context.
  2516 
  2517 
  2518 *** System ***
  2519 
  2520 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2521 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2522 
  2523 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2524 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2525 
  2526 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2527 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2528 
  2529   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2530   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2531   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2532   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2533   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2534 
  2535 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2536 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2537 
  2538 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2539 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2540 example:
  2541 
  2542   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2543 
  2544 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2545 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2546 
  2547 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2548 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2549 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2550 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2551 
  2552 
  2553 
  2554 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2555 ----------------------------------
  2556 
  2557 *** General ***
  2558 
  2559 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2560 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2561 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2562 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2563 like this:
  2564 
  2565   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2566 
  2567 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2568 
  2569 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2570 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2571 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2572 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2573 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2574 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2575 
  2576 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2577 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2578 the following package declarations:
  2579 
  2580   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2581   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2582 
  2583 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2584 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2585 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2586 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2587 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2588 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2589 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2590 
  2591 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2592 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2593 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2594 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2595 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2596 
  2597 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2598 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2599 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2600 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2601 
  2602 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2603 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2604 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2605 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2606 
  2607   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2619   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2620 
  2621   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2622   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2623 
  2624   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2625 
  2626   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  2628   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2629   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2630   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2631 
  2632 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2633 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2634 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2635 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2636 
  2637 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2638 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2639 
  2640   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2641   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2642 
  2643 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2644 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2645 float_token.
  2646 
  2647 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2648 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2649 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2650 
  2651 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2652 DejaVu Sans.
  2653 
  2654 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2655 
  2656 
  2657 *** Pure ***
  2658 
  2659 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2660 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2661 time.
  2662 
  2663 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2664 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2665 
  2666 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2667 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2668 
  2669 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2670 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2671 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2672 command already provided this functionality.
  2673 
  2674 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2675 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2676 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2677 without interpretations.
  2678 
  2679 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2680 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2681 
  2682 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2683 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2684 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2685 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2686 
  2687 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2688 'definition' instead.
  2689 
  2690 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2691 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2692 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2693 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2694 
  2695 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2696 constructors.
  2697 
  2698 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2699 the local file system.
  2700 
  2701 
  2702 *** HOL ***
  2703 
  2704 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2705 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2706 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2707 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2708 
  2709   declare [[coercion f]]
  2710 
  2711 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2712 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2713 
  2714   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2715 
  2716 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2717 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2718 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2719 other theories like this:
  2720 
  2721   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2722 
  2723 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2724 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2725 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2726 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2727 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2728 for examples.
  2729 
  2730 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2731 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2732 
  2733 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2734 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2735 
  2736 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2737 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2738 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2739 
  2740 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2741 functorial structure of types.
  2742 
  2743 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2744 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2745 
  2746 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2747 languages.
  2748 
  2749 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2750 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2752 
  2753 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2754 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2755 
  2756 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2757 combinators any longer.
  2758 
  2759 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2760 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2761 
  2762 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2763 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2764 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2765 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2766 
  2767   record 'a foo = ...
  2768   ...
  2769   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2770 
  2771 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2772 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2773 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2774 
  2775 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2776 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2777 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2778 
  2779 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2780 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2781 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2782 
  2783 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2784 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2785 
  2786 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2787 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2788 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2789 independently.
  2790 
  2791 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2792 counter example search.
  2793 
  2794 * Sledgehammer:
  2795   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2796     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2797     sledgehammer").
  2798   - Renamed commands:
  2799     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2800     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2801     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2802     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2803   - Renamed options:
  2804     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2805     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2806     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2807     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2808     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2809 
  2810 * Nitpick:
  2811   - Renamed options:
  2812     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2813     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2814     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2815   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2816   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2817   - Added "whack" option.
  2818   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2819   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2820   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2821   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2822     higher cardinalities.
  2823   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2824 
  2825 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2826 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2827 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2828 
  2829     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2830 
  2831 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2832 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2833 
  2834 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2835 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2836 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2837 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2838 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2839 "smt_solver".
  2840 
  2841 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2842 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2843 
  2844 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2845 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2846 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2847 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2848 
  2849 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2850   - Renamed:
  2851     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2852     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2853     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2854   - Added:
  2855     smt_verbose
  2856     smt_random_seed
  2857     smt_datatypes
  2858     smt_infer_triggers
  2859     smt_monomorph_limit
  2860     cvc3_options
  2861     remote_cvc3_options
  2862     remote_z3_options
  2863     yices_options
  2864 
  2865 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2866 header.
  2867 
  2868 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2869 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2870 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2871 
  2872   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2873 
  2874 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2875 
  2876 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2877 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2878 
  2879 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2880 
  2881 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2882 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2883 
  2884 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2885 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2886 
  2887 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2888 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2889 
  2890 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2891 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2892 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2893 
  2894 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2895 
  2896 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2897 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2898 
  2899 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2900 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2901 
  2902 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2903 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2904 for congruent(2)).
  2905 
  2906 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2907 
  2908   types
  2909     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2910     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2911 
  2912   constants
  2913     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  2914     True ~> HOL.True
  2915     False ~> HOL.False
  2916     op & ~> HOL.conj
  2917     op | ~> HOL.disj
  2918     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  2919     op = ~> HOL.eq
  2920     Not ~> HOL.Not
  2921     The ~> HOL.The
  2922     All ~> HOL.All
  2923     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  2924     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  2925     Let ~> HOL.Let
  2926     If ~> HOL.If
  2927     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  2928     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  2929     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  2930     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  2931     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  2932     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  2933     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  2934     op : ~> Set.member
  2935     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2936 
  2937 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2938 
  2939 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2940 
  2941     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2942     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def

  2948     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2949 
  2950 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2951 
  2952 * More stylized fact names:
  2953 
  2954   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2955   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2956   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2957   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2958 
  2959 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2960 
  2961 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2962 
  2963   constants
  2964     null ~> List.null
  2965 
  2966   facts
  2967     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2968     null_empty ~> null_def
  2969 
  2970 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2971 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2972 generation.
  2973 
  2974 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2975 Haskell code.
  2976 
  2977 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2978 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2979 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2980 
  2981 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2982 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2983 
  2984 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2985 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2986 
  2987 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2988 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2989 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2990 
  2991 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2992 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2993 
  2994 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2995 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2996 
  2997 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2998 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2999 referred to by its qualified name.
  3000 
  3001   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3002   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3003   product ~>  Enum.product
  3004 
  3005 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3006 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3007 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3008 
  3009 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3010 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3011 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3012 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3013 
  3014 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3015 sort_key.
  3016 
  3017 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3018 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3019 
  3020 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3021 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3022 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3023 
  3024   types
  3025     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3026               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3027               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3028         (depends on your needs)
  3029 
  3030   constants
  3031      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3032      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3033      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3034 
  3035 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3036 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3037 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3038 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3039 
  3040 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3041 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3042 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3043 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3044 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3045 
  3046 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3047 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3048 
  3049 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3050 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3051 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3052 
  3053 
  3054 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3055 
  3056 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3057 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3058 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3059 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3060 compatibility.
  3061 
  3062 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3063 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3064 
  3065 
  3066 *** HOLCF ***
  3067 
  3068 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3069 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3070 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3071 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3072 
  3073 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3074 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3075 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3076 
  3077   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3078   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3079   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3080 
  3081 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3082 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3083 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3084 
  3085 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3086 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3087 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3088 domain definition now works:
  3089 
  3090   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3091 
  3092 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3093 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3094 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3095 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3096 
  3097   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3098     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3099 
  3100   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3101 
  3102 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3103 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3104 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3105 
  3106 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3107 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3108 
  3109 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3110 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3111 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3112 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3113 
  3114 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3115 
  3116 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3117 
  3118 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3119 
  3120 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3121 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3122 
  3123 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3124 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3125 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3126 
  3127 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3128 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3129 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3130 
  3131 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3132 still supported as an input translation.
  3133 
  3134 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3135 
  3136   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3137   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3138   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3139   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3140   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3141   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3142   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3143 
  3144 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3145 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3146 
  3147   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3148   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3149   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3150   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3151   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3152   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3153 
  3154 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3155 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3156 
  3157 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3158 
  3159   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3160   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3161   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3162   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3163 
  3164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3165 
  3166 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3167 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3168 
  3169 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3170 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3240 
  3241 
  3242 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3243 
  3244 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3245 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3246 
  3247 
  3248 *** ML ***
  3249 
  3250 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3251 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3252 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3253 
  3254 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3255 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3256 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3257 
  3258 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3259 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3260 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3261 
  3262 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3263 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3264 
  3265 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3266 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3267 
  3268 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3269 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3270 
  3271 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3272 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3273 
  3274 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3275 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3276 almost all situations.
  3277 
  3278 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3279 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3280 Isabelle/ML.
  3281 
  3282 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3283 meaning.
  3284 
  3285 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3286 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3287 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3288 
  3289 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3290 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3291 
  3292 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3293 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3294 
  3295 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3296 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3297 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3298 
  3299 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3300 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3301 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3302 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3303 configuration options.
  3304 
  3305 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3306 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3307 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3308 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3309 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3310 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3311 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3314 
  3315 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3316 ---------------------------------
  3317 
  3318 *** General ***
  3319 
  3320 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3321 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3322 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3323 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3324 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3325 their full internal name.
  3326 
  3327 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3328 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3329 Some hints on upgrading:
  3330 
  3331   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3332     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3333     which are independent of this issue.
  3334 
  3335   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3336     provides the following special forms:
  3337 
  3338       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3339       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3340       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3341 
  3342     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3343     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3344     extra variables".
  3345 
  3346     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3347     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3348     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3349     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3350     "logic".
  3351 
  3352   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3353     antiquotations:
  3354 
  3355       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3356       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3357       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3358       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3359 
  3360   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3361     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3362     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3363     antiquotations.
  3364 
  3365 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3366 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3367 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3368 diagnose syntax problems.
  3369 
  3370 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3371 
  3372 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3373 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3374 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3375 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3376 
  3377 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3378 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3379 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3380 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3381 
  3382 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3383 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3384 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3385 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3386 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3387 
  3388 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3389 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3390 
  3391 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3392 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3393 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3394 
  3395   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3396 
  3397 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3398 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3399 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3400 
  3401 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3402 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3403 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3404 
  3405 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3406 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3407 
  3408 
  3409 *** Pure ***
  3410 
  3411 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3412 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3413 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3414 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3415 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3416 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3417 inspect proof terms.
  3418 
  3419 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3420 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3421 are added internally.  For example:
  3422 
  3423   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3424 
  3425 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3426 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3427 
  3428 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3429 
  3430 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3431 'class' instead.
  3432 
  3433 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3434 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3435 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3436 
  3437 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3438 invariants.
  3439 
  3440 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3441 user space functionality any longer.
  3442 
  3443 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3444 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3445 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3446 
  3447 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3448 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3449 
  3450 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3451 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3452 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3453 
  3454 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3455 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3456 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3457 
  3458 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3459 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3460 
  3461 
  3462 *** HOL ***
  3463 
  3464 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3465 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3466 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3467 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3468 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3469 
  3470 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3471 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3472 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3473 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3474 
  3475   fun
  3476     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3477   where
  3478     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3479 
  3480   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3481     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3482 
  3483   quotient_definition
  3484     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3485 
  3486 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3487 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3488 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3489 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3490 
  3491 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3492 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3493 
  3494 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3495 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3496 
  3497 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3498 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3499 
  3500 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3501 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3502 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3503 
  3504 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3505 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3506 
  3507 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3508 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3509 
  3510 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3511 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3512 
  3513 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3514 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3515 
  3516 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3517 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3518 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3550 
  3551 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3552 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3553 
  3554 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3555 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3556 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3557 
  3558 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3559 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3560 
  3561 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3562 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3563 
  3564 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3565 
  3566 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3567 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3568 
  3569 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3570 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3571 
  3572 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3573 
  3574 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3575 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3576 
  3577 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3578 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3579 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3580 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3581 
  3582 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3583   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3584   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3585   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3586 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3587 
  3588 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3589 lattices):
  3590 
  3591     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3627     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  3628 
  3629   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3630   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3631 
  3632     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3633     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3634     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3635     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3636     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3637 
  3638 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3639 
  3640 * Refined field classes:
  3641   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3642     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3643     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3644   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3645 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3646 
  3647 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3648   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3649   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3650   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3651     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3652   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3653     equal_neg_zero.
  3654 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3655 
  3656 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3657 sets to lattices:
  3658 
  3659   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3660   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3661   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf

  3667   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3668   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3669 
  3670 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3671 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3672 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3673 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3674 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3675 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3676 
  3677 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3678 multiset order:
  3679 
  3680   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3681     <= and <;
  3682   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3683     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3684     multiset_order;
  3685   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3686     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3687     generation;
  3688   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3689     if needed.
  3690 
  3691 Renamed:
  3692 
  3693   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3694   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3695   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3696 
  3697 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3698 
  3699 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3700 
  3701 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3702 
  3703 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3704 
  3705 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3706 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3707 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3737   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3738 
  3739 * Sledgehammer:
  3740   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3741     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3742     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3743     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3744     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3745     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3746     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3747   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3748   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3749     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3750   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3751     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3752     is still experimental.)
  3753   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3754     full-typed mode.
  3755   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3756 
  3757 * Nitpick:
  3758   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3759   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3760   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3761     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3762   - Added support for quotient types.
  3763   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3764     constructs.
  3765   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3766     "termination" proofs).
  3767   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3768   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3769   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3770   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3771     record getters.
  3772   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3773   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3774   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3775   - Added "atoms" option.
  3776   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3777     problems.
  3778   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3779     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3780     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3781   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3782     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3783   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3784 
  3785 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3786   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3787   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3788   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3789   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3790   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3791   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3792   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3793   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3794   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3795 
  3796 
  3797 *** HOLCF ***
  3798 
  3799 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3800 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3801 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3802 
  3803 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3804 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3805 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3806 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3807 
  3808 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3809 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3810 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3811 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3812 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3813 
  3814 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3815 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3816 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3817 
  3818 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3819 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3820 
  3821   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3822   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3823 
  3824 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3825 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3826 
  3827   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3828   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3829   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3830   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3831   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3832 
  3833 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3834 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3835 
  3836   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3837   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3838   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3839 
  3840 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3841 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3842 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3843 
  3844 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3845 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3846 
  3847 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3848 
  3849 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3850 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3851 
  3852 
  3853 *** ML ***
  3854 
  3855 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3856 
  3857     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3858     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3859 
  3860     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3861     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3862     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3863     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3864 
  3865     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3866     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3867     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3868 
  3869 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3870 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3871 
  3872 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3873 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3874 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3875 
  3876 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3877 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3878 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3879 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3880 
  3881 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3882 the context or even global references.
  3883 
  3884 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3885 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3886 
  3887 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3888 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3889 
  3890   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3891   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3892   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3893   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3894   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3895   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3896   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3897   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3898   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3899   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3900 
  3901 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3902 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3903 
  3904 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3905 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3906 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3907 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3908 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3909 
  3910 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3911 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3912 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3913 Theory_Data version.
  3914 
  3915 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3916 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3917 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3918 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3919 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3920 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3921 explicitly in rare situations.
  3922 
  3923 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3924 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3925 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3926 
  3927 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3928 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3929 
  3930 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3931 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3932 quite rare).
  3933 
  3934 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3935 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3936 
  3937 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3938 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3939 terms.
  3940 
  3941 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3942 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3943 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3944 
  3945 
  3946 *** System ***
  3947 
  3948 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3949 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3950 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3951 
  3952 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3953 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3954 respectively.
  3955 
  3956 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3957 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3958 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3959 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3960 
  3961   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3962 
  3963 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3964 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3965 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3966 component.
  3967 
  3968 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3969 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3970 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3971 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3972 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3973 the user for manual installation.
  3974 
  3975 
  3976 
  3977 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3978 -------------------------------------
  3979 
  3980 *** General ***
  3981 
  3982 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3983 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3984 
  3985 
  3986 *** Pure ***
  3987 
  3988 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3989 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3990 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3991 
  3992 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3993 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3994 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3995 
  3996 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3997 interpretation.
  3998 
  3999 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4000 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4001 
  4002 
  4003 *** Document preparation ***
  4004 
  4005 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4006 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4007 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4008 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4009 
  4010 
  4011 *** HOL ***
  4012 
  4013 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4014 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4015 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4016 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4017 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4018 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4019 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4020 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4021 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4022 
  4023 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4024 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4025 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4026 
  4027 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4028 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4029 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4030 
  4031 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4032 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4033 
  4034 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4035 
  4036 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4037 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4038 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4039 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4040 
  4041 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4042 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4043 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4044 "mirabelle" utility.
  4045 
  4046 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4047 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4048 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4049 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4050 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4051 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4052 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4053 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4054 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4055 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4056 
  4057 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4058 procedure only.
  4059 
  4060 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4061 
  4062 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4063 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4064 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4065 that fail later.
  4066 
  4067 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4068 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4069 
  4070 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4071 the same method as the approximation method.
  4072 
  4073 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4074 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4075 series expansion.
  4076 
  4077 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4078 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4079 
  4080 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4081 reals.
  4082 
  4083 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4084 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4085 
  4086 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4087 fixpoint theorem.
  4088 
  4089 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4090   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4091     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4092   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4093     accordingly
  4094   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4095     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4096   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4097     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4098 
  4099 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4100 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4101 lattice.
  4102 
  4103 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4104 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4105 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4106 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4107 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4108 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4109 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4110 
  4111 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4112   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4113     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4114   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4115     le_inf_iff
  4116   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4117     sup_aci)
  4118   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4119   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4120   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4121     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4122     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4123     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4124     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4125     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4126     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4127     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4128     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4129     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4130     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4131   - authentic syntax for
  4132     Set.Pow
  4133     Set.image
  4134   - mere abbreviations:
  4135     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4136     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4137     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4138     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4139     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4140     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4141     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4142     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4143   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4144 
  4145 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4146 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4147 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4148 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4149 
  4150 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4151 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4152 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4153 
  4154 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4155 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4156 
  4157 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4158 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4159 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4160 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4161 
  4162 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4163 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4164 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4165 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4166 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4167 
  4168 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4169 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4170 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4171 
  4172 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4173 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4174 
  4175 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4176 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4177 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4178 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4179 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4180 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4181 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4182 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4183 
  4184 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4185     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4186     code_post       replaces    code post
  4187     etc.
  4188   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4189 
  4190 * Renamed methods:
  4191     sizechange -> size_change
  4192     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4193   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4194 
  4195 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4196 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4197 
  4198 * Renamed theorems:
  4199     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4200     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4201     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4202     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4203     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4204   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4205 
  4206 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4207 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4208 
  4209 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4210 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4211 
  4212 
  4213 *** HOLCF ***
  4214 
  4215 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4216 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4217 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4218 
  4219 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4220 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4221 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4222 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4223 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4224 
  4225 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4226 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4227 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4228 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4229 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4230 
  4231 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4232 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4233 constructor are pre-configured.
  4234 
  4235 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4236 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4237 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4238 
  4239 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4240 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4241 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4242 as well.)
  4243 
  4244 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4245 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4246 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4247 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4248 examples.
  4249 
  4250 
  4251 *** ML ***
  4252 
  4253 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4254 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4255 
  4256 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4257 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4258 position, logical grouping etc.
  4259 
  4260 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4261 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4262 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4263 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4264 
  4265 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4266 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4267 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4268 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4269 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4270 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4271 
  4272 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4273 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4274 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4275 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4276 experiments with references.
  4277 
  4278 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4279 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4280 
  4281 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4282 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4283 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4284 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4285 
  4286 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4287 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4288 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4289 
  4290 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4291 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4292 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4293 
  4294 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4295 
  4296 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4297 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4298 
  4299 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4300 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4301 
  4302 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4303 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4304 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4305 
  4306 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4307 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4308 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4309 
  4310 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4311 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4312 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4313 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4314 
  4315 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4316 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4317 instead of global theory.
  4318 
  4319 
  4320 *** System ***
  4321 
  4322 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4323 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4324 usedir option -q.
  4325 
  4326 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4327 also the system manual.
  4328 
  4329 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4330 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4331 
  4332 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4333 this is always enabled.
  4334 
  4335 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4336 
  4337 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4338 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4339 currently supported on Linux only.
  4340 
  4341 
  4342 
  4343 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4344 --------------------------------
  4345 
  4346 *** General ***
  4347 
  4348 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4349 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4350 
  4351   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4352     "isatool."
  4353 
  4354   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4355     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4356 
  4357   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4358     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4359 
  4360 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4361 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4362 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4363 
  4364 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4365 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4366 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4367 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4368 via "isabelle emacs".
  4369 
  4370 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4371 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4372 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4373 
  4374 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4375 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4376 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4377 
  4378 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4379 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4380 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4381 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4382 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4383 
  4384 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4385 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4386 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4387 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4388 
  4389 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4390 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4391 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4392 
  4393 
  4394 *** Pure ***
  4395 
  4396 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4397 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4398 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4399 
  4400 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4401 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4402 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4403 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4404 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4405 
  4406 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4407 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4408 useful in locale declarations.
  4409 
  4410 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4411 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4412 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4413 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4414 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4415 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4416 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4417 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4418 no longer generated.
  4419 
  4420 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4421 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4422 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4423 
  4424 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4425 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4426 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4427 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4428 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4429 
  4430 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4431 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4432 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4433 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4434 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4435 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4436 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4437 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4438 
  4439 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4440 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4441 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4442 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4443 
  4444 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4445 
  4446 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4447 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4448 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4449 
  4450 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4451 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4452 
  4453 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4454 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4455 in HOL, write
  4456 
  4457     class foo = ...
  4458 
  4459 instead of
  4460 
  4461     class foo = type + ...
  4462 
  4463 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4464 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4465 
  4466 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4467 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4468 
  4469 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4470 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4471 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4472 
  4473 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4474 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4475 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4476 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4477 directly in regular applications.
  4478 
  4479 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4480 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4481 
  4482 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4483 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4484 
  4485 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4486 theory context.
  4487 
  4488 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4489 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4490 
  4491 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4492 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4493 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4494 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4495 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4496 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4497 
  4498   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4499 
  4500 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4501 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4502 normalization.
  4503 
  4504 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4505 addressing etc.
  4506 
  4507 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4508 
  4509   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4510   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4511 
  4512 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4513 
  4514   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4515      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4516      parts of the code generator framework).
  4517 
  4518   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4519      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4520      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4521 
  4522 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4523 
  4524 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4525 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4526 
  4527 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4528 patterns, e.g.
  4529 
  4530     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4531 
  4532 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4533 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4534 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4535 hyphen:
  4536 
  4537     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4538 
  4539 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4540 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4541 
  4542 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4543 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4544 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4545 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4546 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4547 higher-order unification.
  4548 
  4549 
  4550 *** Document preparation ***
  4551 
  4552 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4553 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4554 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4555 
  4556 
  4557 *** HOL ***
  4558 
  4559 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4560 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4561 
  4562 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4563 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4564 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4565 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4566 Main, as before.
  4567 
  4568 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4569 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4570 
  4571 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4572 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4573 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4574 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4575 
  4576 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4577 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4578 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4579 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4580 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4581 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4582 
  4583 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4584 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4585 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4586 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4587 
  4588 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4589 menu.
  4590 
  4591 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4592 (contains the empty clause).
  4593 
  4594 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4595 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4596 
  4597 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4598 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4599 
  4600 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4601 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4602 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4603 
  4604 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4605 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4606 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4607 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4608 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4609 
  4610 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4611 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4612 
  4613 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4614 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4615 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4616 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4617 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4618 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4619 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4620 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4621 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4622 
  4623 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4624 
  4625 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4626 
  4627 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4628 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4629 
  4630 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4631 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4632 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4633 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4634 
  4635 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4636 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4637 
  4638     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4639     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4640     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4641     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4642     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4643     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4644     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4645     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4646 
  4647 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4648 theory Set.
  4649 
  4650 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4651 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4652 
  4653 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4654 
  4655 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4656 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4657 
  4658 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4659 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4660 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4661 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4662 allowed. For examples see
  4663 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4664 
  4665 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4666 
  4667 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4668 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4669 
  4670 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4671 structure:

  4724 
  4725 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4726 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4727 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4728 
  4729 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4730 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4731 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4732 
  4733 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4734 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4735 
  4736 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4737 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4738 
  4739 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4740 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4741 proofs, e.g.
  4742 
  4743   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4744 
  4745 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4746 
  4747 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4748 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4749 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4750 
  4751 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4752 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4753 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4754 
  4755 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4756 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4757 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4758 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4759 
  4760 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4761 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4762 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4763 preorder_class.*.
  4764 
  4765 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4766 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4767 
  4768 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4769 
  4770   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4771 
  4772 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4773 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4774 fold_image.
  4775 
  4776 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4777 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4778 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4779 the former will disappear at some point.
  4780 
  4781 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4782 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4783 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4784 
  4785 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4786 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4787 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4788 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4789 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4790 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4791 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4792 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4793 
  4794 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4795 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4796 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4797 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4798 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4799 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4800 
  4801     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4802     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4803     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4804     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4805     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4806     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4807     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4808 
  4809 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4810 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4811 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4812 
  4813 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4814 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4815 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4816 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4817 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4818 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4819 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4820 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4821 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4822 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4823 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4824 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4825 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4826 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4827 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4828 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4829 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4830 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4831 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4832 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4833 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4834 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4835 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4836 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4837 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4838 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4839 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4840 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4841 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4842 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4843 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4844 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4845 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4846 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4847 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4848 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4849 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4850 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4851 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4852 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4853 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4854 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4855 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4856 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4857 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4858 
  4859 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4860 
  4861 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4862 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4863 
  4864 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4865 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4866 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4867 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4868 
  4869 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4870 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4871 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4872 theory RealVector.
  4873 
  4874 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4875 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4876 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4877 and inner products are included.
  4878 
  4879 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4880 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4881 supported.
  4882 
  4883 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4884 first diagonalization argument.
  4885 
  4886 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4887 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4888 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4889 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4890 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4891 
  4892     hide (open) const gcd
  4893     abbreviation gcd where
  4894       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4895     notation (output)
  4896       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4897 
  4898 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4899 
  4900 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4901 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4902 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4903 
  4904 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4905 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4906 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4907 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4908 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4909 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4910 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4911 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4912 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4913 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4914 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4915 cases.
  4916 
  4917 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4918 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4919 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4920 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4921 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4922 
  4923     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4924     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4925     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4926     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4927     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4928 
  4929 
  4930 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4931 
  4932 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4933 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4934 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4935 
  4936 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4937 
  4938 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4939 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4940 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4941 
  4942 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4943 
  4944 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4945 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4946 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4947 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4948 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4949 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4950 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4951 
  4952 
  4953 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4954 
  4955 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4956 
  4957 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4958 theory targets.
  4959 
  4960 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4961 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4962 'inductive' etc.
  4963 
  4964 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4965 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4966 
  4967 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4968 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4969 
  4970 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4971 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4972 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4973 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4974 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4975 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4976 the algorithm W:
  4977 
  4978  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4979  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4980          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4981 
  4982 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4983 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4984 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4985 
  4986 
  4987 *** HOLCF ***
  4988 
  4989 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4990 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4991 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4992 
  4993 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4994 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4995 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4996 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4997 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4998 
  4999 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5000 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5001 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5002 
  5003 
  5004 *** ZF ***
  5005 
  5006 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5007 
  5008 
  5009 *** ML ***
  5010 
  5011 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5012 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5013 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5014 5.2.1!
  5015 
  5016 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5017 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5018 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5019 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5020 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5021 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5022 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5023 
  5024 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5025 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5026 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5027 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5028 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5029 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5030 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5031 
  5032 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5033 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5034 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5035 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5036 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5037 
  5038 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5039 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5040 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5041 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5042 Method.add_method.
  5043 
  5044 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5045 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5046 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5047 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5048 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5049 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5050 
  5051 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5052 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5053 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5054 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5055 examples.
  5056 
  5057 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5058 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5059 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5060 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5061 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5062 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5063 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5064 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5065 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5066 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5067 
  5068 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5069 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5070 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5071 
  5072 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5073 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5074 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5075 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5076 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5077 resort for legacy applications.
  5078 
  5079 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5080 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5081 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5082 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5083 explicit runtime argument.
  5084 
  5085 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5086 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5087 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5088 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5089 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5090 
  5091 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5092 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5093 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5094 theory state.
  5095 
  5096 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5097 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5098 
  5099   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5100   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5101   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5102   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5103   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5104   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5105   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5106   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5107   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5108   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5109 
  5110 
  5111 *** System ***
  5112 
  5113 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5114 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5115 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5116 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5117 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5118 
  5119 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5120 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5121 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5122 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5123 
  5124 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5125 
  5126 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5127 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5128 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5129 prover operations.
  5130 
  5131 
  5132 
  5133 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5134 -------------------------------
  5135 
  5136 *** General ***
  5137 
  5138 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5139 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5140 
  5141 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5142 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5143 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5144 provides a proper context already.
  5145 
  5146 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5147 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5148 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5149 
  5150 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5151 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5152 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5153 swap theory imports.
  5154 
  5155 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5156 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5157 
  5158 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5159 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5160 white space without escapes.
  5161 
  5162 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5163 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5164 "foo_bar".
  5165 
  5166 
  5167 *** Pure ***
  5168 
  5169 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5170 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5171 
  5172 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5173 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5174 
  5175 (1) unused_thms
  5176      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5177 
  5178 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5179      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5180      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5181 
  5182 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5183      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5184      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5185      their ancestors.
  5186 
  5187 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5188 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5189 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5190 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5191 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5192 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5193 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5194 
  5195 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5196 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5197 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5198 
  5199 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5200 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5201 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5202 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5203 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5204 
  5205 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5206 
  5207 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5208 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5209 update of theories within ML code.
  5210 
  5211 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5212 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5213 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5214 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5215 
  5216 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5217 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5218 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5219 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5220 
  5221 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5222 
  5223 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5224 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5225 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5226 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5227 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5228 
  5229 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5230 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5231 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5232 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5233 situations.
  5234 
  5235 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5236 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5237 proof text.
  5238 
  5239 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5240 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5241 
  5242 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5243 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5244 predicates.
  5245 
  5246 
  5247 *** Document preparation ***
  5248 
  5249 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5250 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5251 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5252 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5253 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5254 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5255 
  5256 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5257 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5258 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5259 
  5260 
  5261 *** HOL ***
  5262 
  5263 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5264 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5265 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5266 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5267 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5268 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5269 
  5270 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5271 with multithreading.
  5272 
  5273 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5274 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5275 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5276 
  5277 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5278 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5279 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5280 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5281 
  5282 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5283 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5284 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5285 and makes them available separately.  See
  5286 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5287 
  5288 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5289 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5290 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5291 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5292 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5293 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5294 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5295 the declared rules.
  5296 
  5297 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5298 
  5299   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5300 
  5301 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5302 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5303 
  5304 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5305 
  5306   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5307 
  5308   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5309     definitions on => and bool.
  5310 
  5311   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5312     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5313     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5314 
  5315       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5316       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5317       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5318       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5319       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5320       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5321       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5322       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5323 
  5324   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5325     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5326     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5327 
  5328   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5329     The proof pattern
  5330 
  5331       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5332       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5333 
  5334     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5335     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5336 
  5337       have "EX S. P S"
  5338       proof
  5339         show "P S" <...>
  5340       qed
  5341 
  5342   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5343     The proof pattern
  5344 
  5345       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5346       also have "S = T" <...>
  5347       finally have "P T" .
  5348 
  5349     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5350     must be replaced by something like
  5351 
  5352       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5353       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5354       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5355 
  5356   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5357     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5358 
  5359       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5360 
  5361     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5362     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5363     type of the form
  5364 
  5365       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5366 
  5367     rather than
  5368 
  5369       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5370 
  5371 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5372 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5373 
  5374 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5375 
  5376 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5377 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5378 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5379 
  5380 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5381 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5382 
  5383 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5384 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5385 
  5386 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5387 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5388 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5389 
  5390 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5391 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5392 
  5393   less_trans
  5394   less_linear
  5395   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5396   le_less_trans
  5397   less_le_trans
  5398   less_not_sym
  5399   less_asym
  5400 
  5401 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5402 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5403 and different variable names.
  5404 
  5405 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5406 
  5407 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5408 finite maps.
  5409 
  5410 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5411 
  5412 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5413 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5414 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5415 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5416 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5417 accordingly.
  5418 
  5419 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5420 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5421 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5422 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5423 
  5424 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5425 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5426 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5427 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5428 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5429 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5430 
  5431 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5432 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5433 
  5434 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5435 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5436 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5437 
  5438 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5439 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5440 
  5441 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5442 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5443 
  5444 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5445 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5446 
  5447 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5448 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5449 
  5450 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5451 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5452 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5453 
  5454 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5455 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5456 
  5457 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5458 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5459 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5460 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5461 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5462 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5463 
  5464 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5465 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5466 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5467 
  5468 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5469 
  5470 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5471 
  5472 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5473 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5474 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5475 
  5476 
  5477 *** ZF ***
  5478 
  5479 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5480 same session:
  5481 
  5482   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5483   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5484   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5485   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5486   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5487   List      -> List_ZF
  5488   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5489 
  5490 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5491 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5492 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5493 
  5494 
  5495 *** ML ***
  5496 
  5497 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5498 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5499 
  5500 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5501 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5502 
  5503 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5504 
  5505 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5506 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5507 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5508 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5509 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5510 
  5511 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5512 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5513 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5514 
  5515 
  5516 *** System ***
  5517 
  5518 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5519 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5520 
  5521 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5522 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5523 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5524 
  5525 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5526 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5527 
  5528 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5529 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5530 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5531 
  5532 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5533 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5534 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5535 
  5536 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5537 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5538 
  5539 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5540 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5541 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5542 script.
  5543 
  5544 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5545 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5546 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5547 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5548 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5549 
  5550 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5551 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5552 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5553 
  5554 
  5555 
  5556 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5557 -----------------------------------
  5558 
  5559 *** General ***
  5560 
  5561 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5562 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5563 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5564 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5565 
  5566 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5567 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5568 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5569 
  5570 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5571 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5572 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5573 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5574 
  5575 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5576 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5577 quotes.
  5578 
  5579 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5580 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5581 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5582 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5583 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5584 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5585 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5586 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5587 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5588 
  5589 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5590 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5591 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5592 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5593 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5594 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5595 
  5596 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5597 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5598 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5599 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5600 
  5601 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5602 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5603 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5604 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5605 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5606 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5607 
  5608 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5609 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5610 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5611 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5612 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5613 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5614 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5615 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5616 
  5617 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5618 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5619 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5620 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5621 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5622 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5623 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5624 
  5625 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5626 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5627 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5628 
  5629 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5630 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5631 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5632 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5633 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5634 limit is imposed.
  5635 
  5636 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5637 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5638 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5639 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5640 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5641 and scalability.
  5642 
  5643 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5644 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5645 
  5646 
  5647 *** Document preparation ***
  5648 
  5649 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5650 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5651 current context.
  5652 
  5653 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5654 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5655 
  5656 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5657 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5658 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5659 
  5660 
  5661 *** Pure ***
  5662 
  5663 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5664 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5665 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5666 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5667 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5668 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5669 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5670 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5671 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5672 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5673 
  5674 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5675 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5676 sketch:
  5677 
  5678     internal compilation:
  5679         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5680     writing SML code to a file:
  5681         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5682     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5683         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5684     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5685         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5686 
  5687     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5688         method ``eval''
  5689 
  5690 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5691 
  5692 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5693 
  5694     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5695     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5696     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5697     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5698 
  5699 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5700 
  5701     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5702       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5703 
  5704     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5705       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5706 
  5707     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5708       {(target)}+
  5709         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5710 
  5711     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5712       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5713         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5714 
  5715 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5716 
  5717 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5718 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5719 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5720 codegen".
  5721 
  5722 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5723 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5724 annotations).
  5725 
  5726 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5727 syntax.
  5728 
  5729 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5730 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5731 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5732 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5733 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5734 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5735 
  5736 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5737 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5738 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5739 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5740 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5741 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5742 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5743 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5744 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5745 equations, see section "definitions".
  5746 
  5747 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5748 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5749 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5750 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5751 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5752 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5753 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5754 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5755 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5756 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5757 
  5758 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5759 configuration options:
  5760 
  5761   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5762   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5763   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5764   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5765   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5766   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5767   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5768   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5769   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5770 
  5771 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5772 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5773 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5774 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5775 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5776 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5777 order.
  5778 
  5779 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5780 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5781 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5782 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5783 context encountered later on.
  5784 
  5785 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5786 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5787 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5788 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5789 
  5790 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5791 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5792 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5793 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5794 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5795 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5796 
  5797 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5798 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5799 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5800 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5801 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5802 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5803 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5804 more permissive.
  5805 
  5806 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5807 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5808 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5809 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5810 maintainability of proof texts.
  5811 
  5812 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5813 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5814 
  5815   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5816   then guess x and y by clarify
  5817 
  5818 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5819 proof tools being involved here.
  5820 
  5821 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5822 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5823 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5824 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5825 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5826 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5827 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5828 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5829 
  5830 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5831 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5832 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5833 
  5834   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5835   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5836   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5837   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5838 
  5839 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5840 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5841 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5842 
  5843 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5844 both named and unnamed ones.
  5845 
  5846 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5847 
  5848   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5849 
  5850 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5851 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5852 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5853 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5854 
  5855 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5856 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5857 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5858 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5859 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5860 
  5861 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5862 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5863 
  5864 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5865 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5866 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5867 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5868 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5869 originally first one.
  5870 
  5871 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5872 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5873 expected.
  5874 
  5875 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5876 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5877 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5878 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5879 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5880 
  5881   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5882     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5883     obtains x where "P x"
  5884 
  5885   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5886     assumes "A & B"
  5887     obtains A and B
  5888 
  5889   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5890     assumes "A | B"
  5891     obtains
  5892       A
  5893     | B
  5894 
  5895 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5896 explicitly:
  5897 
  5898   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5899     obtains "~ thesis"
  5900 
  5901   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5902     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5903 
  5904 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5905 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5906 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5907 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5908 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5909 case_names).
  5910 
  5911 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5912 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5913 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5914 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5915 
  5916 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5917 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5918 top-level lemma.
  5919 
  5920 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5921 introduction rule (default "that").
  5922 
  5923 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5924 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5925 to occur.
  5926 
  5927 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5928 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5929 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5930 representations independently of name spaces.
  5931 
  5932 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5933 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5934 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5935 
  5936 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5937 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5938 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5939 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5940 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5941 current context.
  5942 
  5943 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5944 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5945 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5946 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5947 
  5948   axiomatization
  5949     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5950     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5951 
  5952   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5953   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5954 
  5955   abbreviation
  5956     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5957     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5958 
  5959 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5960 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5961 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5962 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5963 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5964 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5965 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5966 
  5967 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5968 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5969 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5970 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5971 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5972 
  5973 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5974 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5975 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5976 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5977 
  5978 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5979 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5980 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5981 
  5982   definition "K x _ = x"
  5983 
  5984   inductive conj for A B
  5985   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5986 
  5987 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5988 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5989 abbreviations on output.
  5990 
  5991 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5992 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5993 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5994 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5995 
  5996 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5997 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5998 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5999 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6000 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6001 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6002 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6003 
  6004 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6005 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6006 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6007 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6008 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6009 
  6010 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6011 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6012 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6013 
  6014 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6015 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6016 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6017 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6018 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6019 
  6020   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6021     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6022 
  6023 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6024 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6025 partial_order.
  6026 
  6027 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6028 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6029 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6030 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6031 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6032 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6033 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6034 examples.
  6035 
  6036 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6037 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6038 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6039 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6040 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6041 
  6042 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6043 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6044 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6045 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6046 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6047 
  6048   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6049   (induct set: foo bar)
  6050   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6051   (induct type: foo bar)
  6052 
  6053 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6054 new format.
  6055 
  6056 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6057 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6058 
  6059 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6060 considered a legacy feature.
  6061 
  6062 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6063 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6064 
  6065 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6066 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6067 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6068 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6069   
  6070 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6071 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6072 manipulating the claset.
  6073 
  6074 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6075 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6076 least one premise.
  6077 
  6078 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6079 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6080 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6081 rule steps.
  6082 
  6083 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6084 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6085 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6086 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6087 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6088 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6089 
  6090 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6091 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6092 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6093 
  6094 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6095 the graph browser tool.
  6096 
  6097 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6098 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6099 
  6100 
  6101 *** HOL ***
  6102 
  6103 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6104 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6105 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6106 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6107 multi-threading.
  6108   
  6109 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6110 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6111 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6112 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6113 work with multi-threading.
  6114 
  6115 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6116 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6117 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6118 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6119 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6120 
  6121 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6122 
  6123 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6124 equality.
  6125 
  6126 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6127 the new 'class' package:
  6128 
  6129     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6130     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6131     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  6132     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  6133     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  6134     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  6135     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  6136     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  6137     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  6138     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  6139     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  6140     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  6141     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  6142     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  6143     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  6144     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  6145     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  6146     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  6147     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  6148     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6149 
  6150 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6151 
  6152 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6153 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6154 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6155 names.
  6156 
  6157 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6158 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6159 
  6160 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6161 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6162 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6163 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6164 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6165 
  6166 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6167 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6168 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6169 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6170 
  6171 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6172 
  6173 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6174 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6175 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6176 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6177 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6178 
  6179 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6180 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6181 
  6182 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6183 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6184 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6185 
  6186 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6187 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6188 
  6189 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6190 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6191 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6192 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6193 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6194 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6195 in the current context.
  6196 
  6197 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6198 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6199 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6200 
  6201 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6202 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6203 
  6204 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6205 
  6206     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6207     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6208 
  6209     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6210       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6211     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6212     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6213 
  6214     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6215     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6216 
  6217   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  6319 
  6320 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6321 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6322 
  6323 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6324 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6325 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6326 "*.size".
  6327 
  6328 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6329 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6330 
  6331 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6332 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6333 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6334 
  6335 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6336 
  6337 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6338 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6339 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6340 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6341 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6342 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6343 numerals on all operations.
  6344 
  6345 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6346 
  6347 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6348 
  6349 * Code generator library theories:
  6350   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6351     languages.
  6352   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6353     languages.
  6354   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6355     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6356   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6357   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6358     denominator).
  6359   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6360     representable by rational numbers.
  6361   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6362     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6363     includes Code_Integer.
  6364   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6365     target-language built-in integers.
  6366   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6367     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6368 
  6369 * New package for inductive predicates
  6370 
  6371   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6372 
  6373     inductive
  6374       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6375       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6376     where
  6377       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6378     | ...
  6379 
  6380   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6381 
  6382     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6383 
  6384     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6385     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6386 
  6387     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6388     intros
  6389       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6390       ...
  6391 
  6392   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6393   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6394 
  6395     inductive_set
  6396       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6397       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6398     where
  6399       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6400     | ...
  6401 
  6402   or
  6403 
  6404     inductive_set
  6405       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6406       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6407       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6408     where
  6409       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6410     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6411     | ...
  6412 
  6413   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6414 
  6415   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6416   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6417 
  6418   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6419 
  6420   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6421     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6422     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6423     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6424     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6425 
  6426   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6427     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6428     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6429     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6430     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6431     statements of the form
  6432 
  6433       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6434 
  6435     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6436     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6437 
  6438       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6439 
  6440   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6441 
  6442       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6443         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6444         ==> ... ==> P
  6445 
  6446     for predicates and
  6447 
  6448       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6449         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6450         ==> ... ==> P
  6451 
  6452     for sets rather than
  6453 
  6454       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6455         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6456         ==> ... ==> P
  6457 
  6458     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6459     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6460     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6461 
  6462   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6463     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6464     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6465 
  6466 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6467 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6468 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6469 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6470 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6471 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6472 
  6473 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6474 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6475 
  6476 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6477 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6478 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6479 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6480 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6481 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6482 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6483 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6484 variable.
  6485 
  6486 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6487 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6488 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6489 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6490   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6491   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6492 
  6493 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6494 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6495 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6496 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6497 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6498 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6499 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6500 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6501 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6502 
  6503 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6504 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6505 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6506 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6507 rat, etc.
  6508 
  6509 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6510 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6511 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6512 
  6513 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6514 
  6515 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6516 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6517 
  6518 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6519 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6520 
  6521 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6522 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6523 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6524 
  6525 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6526 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6527 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6528 
  6529 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6530 
  6531 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6532 
  6533 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6534 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6535 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6536 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6537 
  6538 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6539 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6540 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6541 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6542 
  6543 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6544 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6545 algebraic operations.
  6546 
  6547 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6548 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6549 
  6550 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6551 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6552 
  6553 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6554 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6555 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6556 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6557 adapted.
  6558  
  6559 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6560 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6561 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6562 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6563 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6564 
  6565 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6566 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6567 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6568 
  6569 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6570 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6571 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6572 
  6573 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6574 
  6575 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6576 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6577 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6578   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6579       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6580   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6581   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6582   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6583 
  6584 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6585 
  6586 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6587 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6588 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6589 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6590 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6591 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6592 
  6593 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6594 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6595 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6596 
  6597 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6598 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6599 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6600 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6601 
  6602 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6603 
  6604 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6605 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6606 
  6607 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6608 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6609 
  6610 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6611 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6612 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6613 
  6614 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6615 True/False.
  6616 
  6617 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6618 
  6619 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6620 
  6621 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6622 ``rule'' method.
  6623 
  6624 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6625 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6626 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6627 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6628 
  6629 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6630 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6631 
  6632 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6633 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6634 
  6635 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6636 Library.
  6637 
  6638 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6639 
  6640 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6641 as greatest fixed-point.
  6642 
  6643 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6644 association lists.
  6645 
  6646 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6647 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6648 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6649 
  6650 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6651 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6652 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6653 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6654 behavior.
  6655 
  6656 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6657 
  6658 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6659 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6660 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6661 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6662 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6663 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6664 
  6665 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6666 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6667 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6668 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6669 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6670 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6671 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6672 
  6673 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6674 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6675 
  6676 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6677 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6678 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6679 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6680 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6681 
  6682 
  6683 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6684 
  6685 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6686 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6687 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6688 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6689 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6690 
  6691 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6692 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6693 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6694 
  6695 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6696 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6697 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6698 
  6699 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6700 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6701 
  6702 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6703 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6704 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6705 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6721   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6722 
  6723 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6724 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6725 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6726 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6727

  6729   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  6730   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite

  6735   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  6736   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6737 
  6738 
  6739 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6740 
  6741 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6742 
  6743 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6744 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6745 
  6746 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6747 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6748 
  6749 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6750 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6751 of algebraic structures.
  6752 
  6753 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6754 
  6755 
  6756 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6757 
  6758 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6759 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6760 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6761 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6762 
  6763 
  6764 *** ML ***
  6765 
  6766 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6767 (even on SML/NJ).
  6768 
  6769 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6770 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6771 compile-time.  For example:
  6772 
  6773 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6774 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6775 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6776 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6777 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6778 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6779 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6780 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6781 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6782 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6783 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6784 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6785 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6786 ML {* @{context} *}
  6787 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6788 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6789 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6790 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6791 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6792 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6793 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6794 
  6795 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6796 
  6797 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6798 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6799 
  6800 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6801 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6802 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6803 
  6804 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6805 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6806 
  6807 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6808 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6809 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6810 
  6811 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6812 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6813 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6814 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6815 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6816 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6817 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6818 declarations and definitions.
  6819 
  6820 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6821 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6822 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6823 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6824 
  6825 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6826 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6827 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6828 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6829 
  6830 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6831 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6832 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6833 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6834 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6835 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6836 
  6837 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6838 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6839 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6840 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6841 attributes, methods, etc.
  6842 
  6843 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6844 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6845 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6846 fold_map combinators.
  6847 
  6848 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6849 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6850 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6851 derivation.
  6852 
  6853 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6854 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6855 achieve the old behaviour.
  6856 
  6857 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6858 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6859 statements.
  6860 
  6861 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6862 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6863 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6864 
  6865 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6866 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6867 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6868 
  6869   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6870   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6871   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6872 
  6873 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6874 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6875 
  6876 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6877 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6878 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6879 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6880 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6881 
  6882 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6883 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6884 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6885 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6886 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6887 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6888 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6889 in a locale context).
  6890 
  6891 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6892 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6893 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6894 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6895 
  6896 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6897 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6898 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6899 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6900 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6901 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6902 
  6903 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6904 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6905 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6906 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6907 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6908 
  6909   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6910 
  6911 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6912 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6913 this:
  6914 
  6915   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6916 
  6917 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6918 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6919 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6920 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6921 
  6922 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6923 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6924 
  6925 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6926 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6927 
  6928 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6929 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6930 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6931 batch mode.
  6932 
  6933 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6934 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6935 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6936 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6937 
  6938 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6939 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6940 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6941 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6942 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6943 
  6944 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6945 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6946 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6947 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6948 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6949 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6950 
  6951 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6952 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6953 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6954 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6955 
  6956 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6957 "Trueprop" etc.
  6958 
  6959 
  6960 *** System ***
  6961 
  6962 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6963 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6964 Isabelle installations.
  6965 
  6966 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6967 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6968 code.
  6969 
  6970 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6971 
  6972 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6973 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6974 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6975 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6976 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6977 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6978 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6979 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6980 Implementation manual.
  6981 
  6982 
  6983 
  6984 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  6985 ----------------------------------
  6986 
  6987 *** General ***
  6988 
  6989 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6990 
  6991   theory <name>
  6992   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6993   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6994   begin
  6995 
  6996 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6997 
  6998   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6999 
  7000 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7001 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7002 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7003 
  7004 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7005 relative and absolute paths.
  7006 
  7007 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7008 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7009 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7010 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7011 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7012 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7013 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7014 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7015 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7016 
  7017   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7018 
  7019 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7020 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7021 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7022 
  7023 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7024 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7025 
  7026 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7027 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7028 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7029 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7030 
  7031   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7032   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7033 
  7034 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7035 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7036 faster.
  7037 
  7038 
  7039 *** Document preparation ***
  7040 
  7041 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7042 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7043 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7044 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7045 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7046 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7047 
  7048 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7049 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7050 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7051 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7052 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7053 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7054 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7055 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7056 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7057 \isadroptag.
  7058 
  7059 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7060 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7061 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7062 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7063 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7064 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7065 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7066 specified above.
  7067 
  7068 * Several new antiquotations:
  7069 
  7070   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7071 
  7072   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7073 
  7074   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7075   argument is a known logical constant;
  7076 
  7077   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7078   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7079 
  7080   @{ML text}
  7081 
  7082 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7083 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7084 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7085 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7086 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7087 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7088 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7089 
  7090 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7091 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7092 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7093 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7094 
  7095 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7096 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7097 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7098 
  7099 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7100 a proof context.
  7101 
  7102 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7103 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7104 
  7105 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7106 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7107 
  7108 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7109 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7110 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7111 
  7112 
  7113 *** Pure ***
  7114 
  7115 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7116 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7117 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7118 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7119 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7120 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7121 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7122 
  7123 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7124 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7125 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7126 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7127 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7128 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7129 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7130 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7131 
  7132 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7133 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7134 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7135 
  7136 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7137 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7138 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7139 
  7140 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7141 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7142 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7143 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7144 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7145 
  7146 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7147 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7148 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7149 axclasses vs. locales.
  7150 
  7151 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7152 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7153 
  7154 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7155 marks in schematic variable names.
  7156 
  7157 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7158 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7159 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7160 
  7161   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7162     by simp
  7163 
  7164 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7165 
  7166 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7167 annotations as "(00...)".
  7168 
  7169 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7170 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7171 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7172 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7173 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7174 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7175 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7176 
  7177 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7178 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7179 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7180 specifications.
  7181 
  7182 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7183 locally fixed variables as well.
  7184 
  7185 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7186 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7187 Limit.
  7188 
  7189 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7190 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7191 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7192 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7193 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7194 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7195 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7196 
  7197 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7198 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7199 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7200 
  7201 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7202 
  7203 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7204 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7205 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7206 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7207 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7208 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7209 
  7210 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7211 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7212 
  7213 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7214 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7215 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7216 
  7217 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7218 
  7219 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7220 theory development.
  7221 
  7222 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7223 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7224 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7225 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7226 
  7227 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7228 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7229 quoted when used as identifier.
  7230 
  7231 
  7232 *** Locales ***
  7233 
  7234 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7235 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7236 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7237 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7238 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7239 commands is a follows:
  7240 
  7241   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7242   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7243   (3) interpret expr inst
  7244 
  7245 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7246 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7247 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7248 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7249 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7250 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7251 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7252 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7253 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7254 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7255 
  7256 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7257 'interpret' instead.
  7258 
  7259 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7260 parameters.
  7261 
  7262 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7263 redeclaration.
  7264 
  7265 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7266 
  7267 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7268 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7269 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7270 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7271 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7272 
  7273 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7274 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7275 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7276 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7277 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7278 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7279 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7280 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7281 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7282 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7283 
  7284 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7285 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7286 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7287 
  7288 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7289 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7290 
  7291 
  7292 *** Provers ***
  7293 
  7294 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7295 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7296 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7297 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7298 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7299 
  7300 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7301 and quasi orders.
  7302 
  7303 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7304 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7305 
  7306 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7307 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7308 
  7309 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7310 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7311 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7312 
  7313 
  7314 *** HOL ***
  7315 
  7316 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7317 
  7318   syntax (epsilon)
  7319     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7320 
  7321 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7322 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7323 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7324 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7325 
  7326 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7327 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7328 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7329 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7330 
  7331 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7332 instead of ":".
  7333 
  7334 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7335 
  7336   Old       New
  7337   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7338   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7339   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7340   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7341   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7342 
  7343 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7344 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7345 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7346 
  7347   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7348   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7349 
  7350 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7351 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7352 interface.
  7353 
  7354 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7355 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7356 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7357 be a tuple pattern.
  7358 
  7359 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7360 
  7361   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7362   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7363   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7364   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7365 
  7366 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7367 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7368 
  7369 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7370 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7371 (insert F x)'.
  7372 
  7373 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7374 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7375 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7376 
  7377 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7378 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7379 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7380 
  7381 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7382 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7383 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7384 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7385 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7386 
  7387 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7388 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7389 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7390 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7391 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7392 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7393 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7394 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7395 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7396 
  7397 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7398 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7399 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7400 quite long.
  7401 
  7402 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7403 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7404 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7405 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7406 
  7407 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7408 type-variables in the term.
  7409 
  7410 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7411 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7412 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7413 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7414 goals than previously.
  7415 
  7416 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7417 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7418 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7419 just like y <= x.
  7420 
  7421 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7422 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7423 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7424 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7425 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7426 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7427 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7428 
  7429 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7430 
  7431 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7432 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7433 
  7434 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7435 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7436 inequalities.
  7437 
  7438 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7439 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7440 
  7441   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7442   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7443   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  7444   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  7445   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  7446   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  7447   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7448   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7449   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7450   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7451   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7452 
  7453 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7454      
  7455      zero_le_square
  7456      not_square_less_zero 
  7457 
  7458   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7459   
  7460      realpow_zero_zero
  7461      realpow_two
  7462      realpow_less
  7463      zero_le_power
  7464      realpow_two_le
  7465      abs_realpow_two
  7466      realpow_two_abs     
  7467 
  7468 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7469 
  7470 * Theory List:
  7471 
  7472 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7473 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7474 
  7475   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7476   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7477   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7478   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7479 
  7480 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7481 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7482 
  7483 
  7484 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7485 
  7486 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7487 integers in the reals.
  7488 
  7489 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7490 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7491 
  7492   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7493   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7494   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7495   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7496   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7497 
  7498 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7499 
  7500 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7501 
  7502 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7503 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7504 
  7505   hypreal = real star
  7506   hypnat = nat star
  7507   hcomplex = complex star
  7508 
  7509 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7510 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7511 
  7512   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  7513 
  7514   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  7515   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  7516   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  7517   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  7518   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  7519 
  7520   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  7521   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  7522   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  7523   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  7524   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7525 
  7526 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7527 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7528 
  7529   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  7530   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs
  7531   OrderedGroup.add_0 <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_zero_left
  7532   OrderedGroup.add_0_right <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_zero_right
  7533   right_minus <-- hypreal_add_minus
  7534   left_minus <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_minus_left
  7535   mult_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_commute
  7536   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  7537   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  7538   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right
  7539   mult_zero_left <-- hcomplex_mult_zero_left
  7540   left_distrib <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_mult_distrib
  7541   right_distrib <-- hypnat_add_mult_distrib2
  7542   zero_neq_one <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_zero_not_eq_one
  7543   right_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse
  7544   left_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse_left, hcomplex_mult_inv_left
  7545   order_refl <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_refl
  7546   order_trans <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_trans
  7547   order_antisym <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_anti_sym
  7548   order_less_le <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_less_le
  7549   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  7550   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  7551   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  7552   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7553 
  7554 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7555 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7556 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7557 
  7558   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7559   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  7560   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  7561   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int
  7562   STAR_Compl <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Compl
  7563   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset
  7564   STAR_mem <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_mem
  7565   STAR_mem_Compl <-- {STAR,STARC}_mem_Compl
  7566   STAR_diff <-- {STAR,STARC}_diff
  7567   STAR_star_of_image_subset <-- {STAR_hypreal_of_real, NatStar_hypreal_of_real,

  7645   star_of_eq_0 <-- hcomplex_of_complex_zero_iff
  7646 
  7647 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7648 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7649 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7650 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7651 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7652 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7653 
  7654 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7655 
  7656 
  7657 *** HOLCF ***
  7658 
  7659 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7660 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7661 type-inference.
  7662 
  7663 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7664 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7665 instead of exponential time).
  7666 
  7667 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7668 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7669 
  7670   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7671 
  7672 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7673 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7674 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7675 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7676 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7677 syntax and examples.
  7678 
  7679 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7680 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7681 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7682 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7683 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7684 
  7685 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7686 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7687 
  7688   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7689   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7690   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7691   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7692   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7693   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7694 
  7695 
  7696 *** ZF ***
  7697 
  7698 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7699 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7700 of a homomorphism).
  7701 
  7702 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7703 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7704 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7705 
  7706 
  7707 *** Cube ***
  7708 
  7709 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7710 theories.
  7711 
  7712 
  7713 *** ML ***
  7714 
  7715 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7716 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7717 
  7718 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7719 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7720 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7721 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7722 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7723 
  7724 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7725 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7726 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7727 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7728 
  7729 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7730 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7731 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7732 
  7733     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7734     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7735     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7736     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7737     seq fs = List.app fs
  7738     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7739     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7740 
  7741 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7742 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7743 
  7744   x |> f                f #> g
  7745   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7746 
  7747 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7748 
  7749   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7750   infix 2 ?;
  7751   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7752   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7753 
  7754 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7755 infix operators.
  7756 
  7757 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7758 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7759 example:
  7760 
  7761   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7762     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7763 
  7764   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7765     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7766 
  7767   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7768     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7769 
  7770   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7771     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7772 
  7773 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7774 available:
  7775 
  7776   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7777   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7778   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7779   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7780 
  7781 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7782 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7783 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7784 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7785 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7786 
  7787   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7788   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7789   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7790 
  7791 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7792 
  7793   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7794   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7795 
  7796 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7797 Naive rewrites:
  7798 
  7799   make_keylist = AList.make
  7800   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7801 
  7802 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7803   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7804 
  7805     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7806     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7807 
  7808 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7809   Naive rewrites:
  7810 
  7811     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7812     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7813 
  7814 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7815 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7816 lists.
  7817 
  7818 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7819 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7820 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7821 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7822 
  7823 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7824 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7825 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7826 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7827 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7828 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7829 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7830 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7831 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7832 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7833 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7834 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7835 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7836 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7837 Output.raw have no effect.
  7838 
  7839 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7840 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7841 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7842 
  7843 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7844 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7845 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7846 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7847 
  7848 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7849 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7850 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7851 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7852 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7853 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7854 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7855 
  7856 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7857 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7858 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7859 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7860 
  7861 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7862 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7863 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7864 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7865 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7866 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7867 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7868 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7869 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7870 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7871 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7872 
  7873 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7874 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7875 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7876 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7877 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7878 with earlier declarations.
  7879 
  7880 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7881 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7882 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7883 
  7884 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7885 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7886 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7887 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7888 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7889 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7890 
  7891   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7892     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7893 
  7894   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7895     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7896 
  7897   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7898     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7899     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7900     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7901 
  7902 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7903 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7904 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7905 
  7906 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7907 
  7908 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7909 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7910 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7911 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7912 
  7913 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7914 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7915 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7916 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7917 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7918 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7919 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7920 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7921 
  7922 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7923 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7924 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7925 
  7926 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7927 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7928 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7929 
  7930 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7931 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7932 
  7933   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7934   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7935   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7936   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7937 
  7938 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7939 
  7940 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7941 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7942 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7943 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7944 (both increase the runtime).
  7945 
  7946 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7947 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7948 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7949 
  7950 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7951 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7952 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7953 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7954 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7955 for further details.
  7956 
  7957 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7958 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7959 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7960 scripts for the time being.
  7961 
  7962 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7963 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7964 
  7965   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7966   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7967 
  7968 
  7969 *** System ***
  7970 
  7971 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7972 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7973 
  7974 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7975 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7976 
  7977 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7978 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7979 
  7980 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7981 distribution being used.
  7982 
  7983 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7984 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7985 theories.
  7986 
  7987 
  7988 
  7989 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7990 --------------------------------
  7991 
  7992 *** General ***
  7993 
  7994 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7995   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7996 
  7997 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7998   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7999   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8000   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8001   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8002   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8003   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8004   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8005   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8006   existing theory and ML files.
  8007 
  8008 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8009 
  8010 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8011   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8012   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8013   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8014 
  8015 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8016   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8017   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8018   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8019 
  8020 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8021   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8022   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8023 
  8024 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8025   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8026   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8027   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8028   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8029 
  8030 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8031   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8032 
  8033 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8034   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8035   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8036 
  8037 
  8038 *** Isar ***
  8039 
  8040 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8041   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8042   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8043     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8044     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8045     emulations.
  8046   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8047     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8048     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8049 
  8050 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8051   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8052     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8053     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8054   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8055 
  8056 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8057   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8058   and derived forms.
  8059 
  8060 * Locales:
  8061   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8062     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8063     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8064     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8065   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8066     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8067   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8068     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8069   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8070         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8071     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8072     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8073     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8074     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8075     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8076       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8077     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8078     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8079     with "locale (open)".
  8080       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8081 
  8082 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8083   (Isar) contexts.
  8084 
  8085 
  8086 *** HOL ***
  8087 
  8088 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8089   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8090   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8091   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8092   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8093 
  8094 * Simplifier:
  8095   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8096     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8097     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8098     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8099     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8100   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8101     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8102     is solved by simplification already.
  8103 
  8104 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8105     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8106 
  8107 * Numerics:
  8108   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8109     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8110   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8111     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8112   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8113     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8114     exponentiation).
  8115 
  8116 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8117 
  8118 * Records:
  8119   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8120     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8121     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8122   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8123     (not enabled by default).
  8124   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8125     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8126   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8127 
  8128 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8129   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8130   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8131 
  8132 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8133 
  8134 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8135 
  8136 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8137   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8138 
  8139 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8140   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8141 
  8142 * Unions and Intersections:
  8143   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8144   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8145   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8146   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8147 
  8148 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8149   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8150   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8151   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8152 
  8153 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8154   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8155 
  8156 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8157   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8158 
  8159 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8160   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8161   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8162 
  8163 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8164   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8165   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8166   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8167   for examples.
  8168 
  8169 
  8170 *** HOLCF ***
  8171 
  8172 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8173 
  8174 
  8175 
  8176 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8177 ------------------------------
  8178 
  8179 *** General ***
  8180 
  8181 * Provers/simplifier:
  8182 
  8183   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8184     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8185     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8186     the order of assumptions.
  8187 
  8188     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8189 
  8190     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8191        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8192 
  8193         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8194 
  8195        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8196 
  8197         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8198 
  8199        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8200        kind of problem.
  8201 
  8202     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8203        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8204        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8205        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8206        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8207        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8208        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8209 
  8210   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8211 
  8212   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8213     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8214     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8215     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8216     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8217     the simplifier would diverge.
  8218 
  8219   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8220 
  8221   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8222     congruence is ignored.
  8223 
  8224 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8225   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8226   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8227 
  8228 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8229 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8230    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8231 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8232 
  8233 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8234 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8235       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8236 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8237 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8238 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8239 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8240 
  8241 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8242 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8243 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8244 assumption failed.
  8245 
  8246 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8247 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8248 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8249 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8250 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8251 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8252 on the old view without predicates;
  8253 
  8254 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8255 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8256 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8257 
  8258 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8259 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8260 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8261 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8262 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8263 be given (the default is 40);
  8264 
  8265 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8266 (batch-mode only);
  8267 
  8268 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8269 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8270 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8271 
  8272 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8273 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8274 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8275 
  8276 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8277 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8278 
  8279 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8280 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8281 
  8282 
  8283 *** HOL ***
  8284 
  8285 * arith(_tac)
  8286 
  8287  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8288    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8289    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8290    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8291 
  8292  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8293 
  8294  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8295    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8296    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8297 
  8298 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8299 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8300 
  8301 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8302 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8303 
  8304 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8305 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8306 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8307 
  8308 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8309 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8310 
  8311 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8312 definition;
  8313 
  8314 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8315 Finite_Set);
  8316 
  8317 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8318 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8319 
  8320 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8321   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8322 
  8323 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8324 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8325 of the empty set.
  8326 
  8327 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8328 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8329 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8330 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8331 
  8332 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8333 
  8334 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8335 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8336 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8337 
  8338 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8339 
  8340 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8341 Fleuriot);
  8342 
  8343 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8344 
  8345 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8346 Gray and Kramer);
  8347 
  8348 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8349 
  8350 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8351 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8352 
  8353 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8354 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8355 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8356 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8357 assignment, exceptions.
  8358 
  8359 
  8360 *** ZF ***
  8361 
  8362 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8363 universe, etc.);
  8364 
  8365 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8366 
  8367 
  8368 *** ML ***
  8369 
  8370 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8371 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8372 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8373 
  8374 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8375 
  8376 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8377 up simprocs;
  8378 
  8379 
  8380 *** Document preparation ***
  8381 
  8382 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8383 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8384 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8385 
  8386 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8387 other packages
  8388 
  8389 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8390 broke \Rightarrow)
  8391 
  8392 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8393 textcomp package)
  8394 
  8395 
  8396 
  8397 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8398 --------------------------------
  8399 
  8400 *** Document preparation ***
  8401 
  8402 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8403 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8404 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8405 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8406 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8407 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8408 
  8409 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8410 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8411 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8412 
  8413 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8414 blocks after section headings;
  8415 
  8416 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8417 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8418 
  8419 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8420 better in printed text;
  8421 
  8422 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8423 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8424 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8425 
  8426 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8427 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8428 location;
  8429 
  8430 
  8431 *** Isar ***
  8432 
  8433 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8434   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8435     "case (Suc n)");
  8436   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8437     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8438     instantiation of cases;
  8439   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8440     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8441     rules without further ado;
  8442   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8443     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8444     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8445     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8446     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8447   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8448     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8449     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8450     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8451     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8452     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8453   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8454     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8455     below);
  8456   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8457     success (no backtracking);
  8458   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8459   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8460   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8461     General versions);
  8462   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8463   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8464 
  8465 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8466 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8467 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8468 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8469 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8470 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8471 fails:
  8472 
  8473   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8474 
  8475 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8476 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8477 
  8478 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8479 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8480 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8481 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8482 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8483 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8484 some examples;
  8485 
  8486 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8487 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8488 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8489 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8490 qualified by the locale name);
  8491 
  8492 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8493 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8494 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8495 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8496 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8497 
  8498 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8499 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8500 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8501 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8502 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8503 
  8504 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8505 
  8506 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8507 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8508 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8509 
  8510 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8511 
  8512 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8513 
  8514 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8515 
  8516 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8517 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8518 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8519 
  8520 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8521 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8522 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8523 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8524 proof *scripts*;
  8525 
  8526 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8527 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8528 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8529 especially important for locales);
  8530 
  8531 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8532 mode;
  8533 
  8534 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8535 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8536 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8537 situations;
  8538 
  8539 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8540 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8541 
  8542 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8543 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8544 discontinued;
  8545 
  8546 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8547 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8548 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8549 
  8550 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8551 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8552 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8553 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8554 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8555 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8556 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8557 
  8558 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8559 of introduction rules;
  8560 
  8561 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8562 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8563 conditional rules;
  8564 
  8565 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8566 
  8567 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8568 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8569 
  8570 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8571 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8572 
  8573 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8574 wf_induct_rule;
  8575 
  8576 
  8577 *** HOL ***
  8578 
  8579 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8580 follows:
  8581 
  8582   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8583   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8584 
  8585   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8586   binary representation internally;
  8587 
  8588   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8589   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8590 
  8591 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8592 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8593 
  8594   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8595   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8596   to be spaced properly;
  8597 
  8598   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8599   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8600 
  8601   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8602 
  8603   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8604 
  8605 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8606 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8607 
  8608 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8609 
  8610 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8611 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8612 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8613 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8614 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8615 
  8616 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8617   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8618     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8619     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8620     declared as simp by default;
  8621   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8622     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8623   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8624     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8625   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8626   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8627     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8628     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8629   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8630     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8631 
  8632 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8633 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8634 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8635 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8636 
  8637 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8638 
  8639 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8640         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8641         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8642 
  8643 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8644 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8645 
  8646 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8647 
  8648 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8649 
  8650 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8651 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8652   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8653 
  8654 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8655 in this (rare) case use:
  8656 
  8657   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8658   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8659 
  8660 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8661 MAY FAIL;
  8662 
  8663 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8664 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8665 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8666 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8667 
  8668 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8669 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8670 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8671 
  8672 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8673 expressions;
  8674 
  8675 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8676 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8677 
  8678 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8679 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8680 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8681 
  8682 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8683 
  8684 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8685 the "cases" method);
  8686 
  8687 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8688 Florian Kammller);
  8689 
  8690 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8691 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8692 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8693 
  8694 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8695 
  8696 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8697 
  8698 
  8699 *** HOLCF ***
  8700 
  8701 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8702 operations;
  8703 
  8704 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8705 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8706 
  8707 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8708 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8709 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8710 
  8711 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8712 
  8713 
  8714 *** ZF ***
  8715 
  8716 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8717 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8718 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8719 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8720 
  8721 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8722 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8723 
  8724 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8725 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8726 
  8727 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8728 typeless version of the formalism;
  8729 
  8730 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8731 format;
  8732 
  8733 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8734 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8735 new-style theory format;
  8736 
  8737 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8738 
  8739 
  8740 *** General ***
  8741 
  8742 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8743 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8744 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8745 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8746 
  8747 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8748 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8749 
  8750 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8751 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8752 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8753 properly;
  8754 
  8755 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8756 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8757 
  8758 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8759 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8760 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8761 type variable);
  8762 
  8763 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8764 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8765 "type_brackets";
  8766 
  8767 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8768 tokens into AST constants;
  8769 
  8770 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8771 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8772 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8773 
  8774 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8775 practice);
  8776 
  8777 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8778 addSafter;
  8779 
  8780 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8781 as well;
  8782 
  8783 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8784 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8785 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8786 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8787 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8788 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8789 
  8790 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8791 
  8792 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8793 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8794 
  8795 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8796 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8797 
  8798 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8799 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8800 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8801 
  8802 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8803 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8804 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8805 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8806 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8807 
  8808 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8809 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8810 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8811 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8812 
  8813 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8814 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8815 terminal);
  8816 
  8817 
  8818 
  8819 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8820 -----------------------------------
  8821 
  8822 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8823 
  8824 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8825 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8826 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8827 
  8828 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8829 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8830 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8831 'split_rule (complete)';
  8832 
  8833 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8834 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8835 
  8836 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8837 
  8838 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8839 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8840 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8841 
  8842 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8843 operation;
  8844 
  8845 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8846 
  8847 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8848 
  8849 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8850 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8851 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8852 
  8853 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8854 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8855 
  8856 
  8857 *** Document preparation ***
  8858 
  8859 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8860 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8861 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8862 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8863 type-writer);
  8864 
  8865 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8866 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8867 
  8868 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8869 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8870 
  8871 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8872 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8873 definitions);
  8874 
  8875 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8876 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8877 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8878 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8879 
  8880 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8881 fonts;
  8882 
  8883 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8884 generation;
  8885 
  8886 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8887 
  8888 
  8889 *** Isar ***
  8890 
  8891 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8892 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8893 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8894 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8895 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8896 
  8897 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8898 rules as well;
  8899 
  8900 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8901 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8902 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8903 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8904 
  8905 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8906 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8907 
  8908 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8909 statements as well;
  8910 
  8911 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8912 
  8913 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8914 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8915 
  8916 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8917 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8918 
  8919 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8920 
  8921 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8922 
  8923 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8924 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8925 
  8926 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8927 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8928 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8929 
  8930 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8931 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8932 the result to be shown in each case;
  8933 
  8934 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8935 
  8936 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8937 
  8938 
  8939 *** HOL ***
  8940 
  8941 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8942 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8943 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8944 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8945 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8946 
  8947 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8948 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8949 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8950 
  8951 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8952 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8953 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8954 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8955 literature;
  8956 
  8957 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8958 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8959 operator \<Sum>;
  8960 
  8961 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8962 HOL/subset.thy);
  8963 
  8964 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8965 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8966 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8967 
  8968 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8969 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8970 
  8971 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8972 rules with string literals);
  8973 
  8974 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8975  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8976  functions for the reals;
  8977 
  8978 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8979 
  8980 
  8981 *** CTT ***
  8982 
  8983 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8984 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8985 
  8986 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8987 and Arith);
  8988 
  8989 
  8990 *** General ***
  8991 
  8992 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8993 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8994 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8995 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8996 
  8997 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8998 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8999 
  9000 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9001 as assumptions as well;
  9002 
  9003 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9004 
  9005 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9006 
  9007 
  9008 
  9009 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9010 ----------------------------------
  9011 
  9012 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9013 
  9014 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9015 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9016 issue the following ML commands:
  9017 
  9018   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9019   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9020 
  9021 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9022 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9023 
  9024 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9025 
  9026 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9027 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9028 
  9029   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9030   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9031   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9032   selectI2         -> someI2
  9033   selectI          -> someI
  9034   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9035   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9036   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9037 
  9038 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9039 
  9040 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9041 instead);
  9042 
  9043 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9044 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9045 
  9046 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9047 
  9048 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9049 sometimes be needed;
  9050 
  9051 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9052 
  9053 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9054 
  9055 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9056 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9057 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9058 
  9059 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9060 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9061 
  9062 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9063 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9064 
  9065   syntax (symbols)
  9066     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9067       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9068 
  9069 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9070 
  9071 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9072 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9073 internally;
  9074 
  9075 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9076 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9077 
  9078 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9079 proofs;
  9080 
  9081 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9082 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9083 
  9084 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9085 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9086 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9087 "rule del";
  9088 
  9089 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9090 
  9091 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9092 
  9093 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9094 lib/texinputs);
  9095 
  9096 
  9097 *** Document preparation ***
  9098 
  9099 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9100 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9101 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9102 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9103 
  9104 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9105 including proper document sources;
  9106 
  9107 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9108 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9109 of isatool usedir;
  9110 
  9111 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9112 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9113 LaTeX debugging;
  9114 
  9115 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9116 
  9117 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9118 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9119 graph for 'all sessions';
  9120 
  9121 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9122 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9123 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9124 
  9125 
  9126 *** Isar ***
  9127 
  9128 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9129 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9130 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9131 
  9132 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9133 generalized existence reasoning;
  9134 
  9135 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9136 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9137 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9138 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9139 premises;
  9140 
  9141 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9142 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9143 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9144 to theorems as "tags";
  9145 
  9146 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9147 class/type/const name spaces;
  9148 
  9149 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9150 indicate potential overloading;
  9151 
  9152 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9153 
  9154 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9155 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9156 
  9157 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9158 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9159 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9160 
  9161 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9162 case name 'antecedent';
  9163 
  9164 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9165 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9166 
  9167 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9168 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9169 
  9170 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9171 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9172 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9173 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9174 
  9175 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9176 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9177 
  9178 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9179 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9180 well (including splits);
  9181 
  9182 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9183 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9184 
  9185 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9186 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9187 
  9188 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9189 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9190 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9191 
  9192 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9193 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9194 calculations;
  9195 
  9196 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9197 method anyway;
  9198 
  9199 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9200 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9201 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9202 
  9203 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9204 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9205 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9206 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9207 
  9208 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9209 
  9210 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9211 
  9212 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9213 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9214 proof states;
  9215 
  9216 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9217 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9218 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9219 
  9220 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9221 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9222 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9223 (for HOL datatypes);
  9224 
  9225 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9226 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9227 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9228 
  9229 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9230 
  9231 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9232 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9233 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9234 
  9235 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9236 
  9237 
  9238 *** HOL ***
  9239 
  9240 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9241 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9242 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9243 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9244 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9245 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9246 
  9247 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9248 Clemens Ballarin;
  9249 
  9250 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9251 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9252 Rasmussen;
  9253 
  9254 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9255 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9256 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9257 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9258 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9259 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9260 
  9261 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9262 von Oheimb;
  9263 
  9264 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9265 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9266 
  9267 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9268 
  9269 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9270 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9271 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9272 
  9273 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9274 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9275 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9276 
  9277 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9278 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9279 
  9280 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9281 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9282 
  9283 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9284    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9285    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9286   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9287     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9288   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9289     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9290 
  9291 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9292 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9293 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9294 
  9295 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9296 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9297 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9298 
  9299 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9300 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9301 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9302 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9303 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9304 
  9305 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9306 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9307 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9308 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9309 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9310 each equation;
  9311 
  9312 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9313 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9314 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9315 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9316 
  9317 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9318 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9319 
  9320 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9321 
  9322 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9323 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9324 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9325 
  9326 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9327 
  9328 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9329 main HOL, but was unused);
  9330 
  9331 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9332 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9333 
  9334 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9335 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9336 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9337 bogus);
  9338 
  9339 
  9340 *** ZF ***
  9341 
  9342 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9343 expressions over nat and int;
  9344 
  9345 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9346 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9347 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9348 
  9349 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9350 using the function intify;
  9351 
  9352 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9353 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9354 
  9355 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9356 simplification;
  9357 
  9358 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9359 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9360 
  9361 
  9362 *** General ***
  9363 
  9364 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9365 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9366 
  9367 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9368 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9369 
  9370 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9371 explicit make_elim);
  9372 
  9373 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9374   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9375 use instead the strong form,
  9376   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9377 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9378 from destruct-rules;
  9379 
  9380 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9381 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9382 
  9383 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9384 
  9385 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9386 for hiding of names;
  9387 
  9388 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9389 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9390 situations;
  9391 
  9392 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9393 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9394 Poly/ML);
  9395 
  9396 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9397 useful for remote X11);
  9398 
  9399 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9400 
  9401 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9402 order;
  9403 
  9404 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9405 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9406 
  9407 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9408 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9409 
  9410 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9411 overloading (usually false);
  9412 
  9413 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9414 results;
  9415 
  9416 
  9417 
  9418 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9419 --------------------------------
  9420 
  9421 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9422 
  9423 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9424 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9425 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9426 
  9427     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9428 
  9429 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9430 complement;
  9431 
  9432 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9433 
  9434 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9435   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9436 
  9437 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9438 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9439 
  9440 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9441 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9442 
  9443 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9444 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9445 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9446 
  9447 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9448 
  9449 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9450         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9451 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9452 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9453         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9454 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9455 
  9456 
  9457 *** Proof tools ***
  9458 
  9459 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9460 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9461 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9462 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9463 
  9464 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9465      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9466   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9467   matching.
  9468 
  9469 
  9470 *** General ***
  9471 
  9472 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9473 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9474 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9475 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9476 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9477 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9478 
  9479 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9480 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9481 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9482 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9483 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9484 
  9485 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9486 Isabelle/Isar;
  9487 
  9488 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9489 using the graph browser tool;
  9490 
  9491 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9492 
  9493 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9494 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9495 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9496 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9497 isatool doc ref);
  9498 
  9499 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9500 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9501 
  9502 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9503 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9504 
  9505 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9506 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9507 Isabelle;
  9508 
  9509 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9510 
  9511 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9512 empty;
  9513 
  9514 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9515 long arrows);
  9516 
  9517 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9518 
  9519 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9520 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9521 
  9522 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9523 mode and goal output format:
  9524 
  9525 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9526 244c244
  9527 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9528 ---
  9529 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9530 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9531 181c181
  9532 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9533 ---
  9534 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9535 
  9536 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9537 
  9538 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9539 
  9540 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9541 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9542 result still apply;
  9543 
  9544 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9545 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9546 
  9547 
  9548 *** HOL ***
  9549 
  9550 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9551 
  9552 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9553 int:
  9554 
  9555 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9556 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9557 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9558 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9559 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9560 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9561 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9562 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9563 
  9564 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9565 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9566 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9567 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9568 simplifier.
  9569 
  9570 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9571 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9572 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9573 
  9574 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9575 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9576 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9577 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9578 type constraints;
  9579 
  9580 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9581 arguments;
  9582 
  9583 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9584 are now available;
  9585 
  9586 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9587 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9588 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9589 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9590 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9591   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9592 
  9593 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9594 
  9595 
  9596 ** HOL misc **
  9597 
  9598 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9599 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9600 
  9601 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9602 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9603 
  9604 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9605 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9606 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9607 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9608 
  9609 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9610   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9611   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9612   "mono" attribute);
  9613 
  9614 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9615   (using function types) such as
  9616 
  9617   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9618 
  9619 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9620 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9621 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9622 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9623 
  9624   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9625   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9626 
  9627 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9628 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9629 
  9630 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9631 names rather than an ML expression;
  9632 
  9633 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9634 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9635     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9636 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9637 
  9638 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9639 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9640 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9641 
  9642 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9643 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9644 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9645 
  9646 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9647 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9648 
  9649 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9650 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9651 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9652 
  9653 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9654 
  9655 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9656 thus available for user theories;
  9657 
  9658 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9659 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9660 time;
  9661 
  9662 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9663 several times and then mp;
  9664

  9668 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9669 formulas;
  9670 
  9671 * the simplifier is now installed
  9672 
  9673 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9674 
  9675 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9676 
  9677 
  9678 *** ZF ***
  9679 
  9680 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9681 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9682 
  9683 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9684 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9685

  9687 
  9688 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9689 constructors;
  9690 
  9691 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9692 type-checking rules;
  9693 
  9694 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9695 to the claset;
  9696 
  9697 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9698 if(P,x,y);
  9699 
  9700 
  9701 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9702 
  9703 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9704 
  9705 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9706 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9707 
  9708 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9709 
  9710 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9711 printing empty lines;
  9712 
  9713 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9714 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9715 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9716 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9717 
  9718 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9719 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9720 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9721 
  9722 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9723 now of type real instead of int;
  9724 
  9725 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9726 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9727 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9728 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9729 
  9730 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9731 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9732 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9733 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9734 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9735 
  9736 
  9737 
  9738 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9739 ----------------------------------
  9740 
  9741 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9742 
  9743 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9744 
  9745 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9746 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9747 
  9748 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9749 called `inj_on';
  9750 
  9751 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9752   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9753   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9754 
  9755 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9756 required);
  9757 
  9758 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9759 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9760 now taken as an integer constant.
  9761 
  9762 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9763 
  9764 
  9765 *** Proof tools ***
  9766 
  9767 * Simplifier:
  9768   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9769      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9770         simplify.
  9771      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9772         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9773      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9774      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9775   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9776 
  9777 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9778 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9779 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9780 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9781 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9782 one (emitting a warning).
  9783   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9784   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9785   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9786   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9787   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9788 
  9789 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9790 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9791 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9792 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9793 by Force_tac;
  9794 
  9795 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9796 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9797 
  9798 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9799 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9800 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9801 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9802 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9803 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9804 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9805 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9806 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9807 
  9808 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9809 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9810 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9811 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9812 
  9813 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9814 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9815 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9816 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9817 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9818 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9819 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9820 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9821 t is the name of the datatype).
  9822 
  9823 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9824 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9825 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9826 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9827 
  9828 
  9829 *** General ***
  9830 
  9831 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9832 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9833 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9834 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9835 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9836 (backup your sources first!);
  9837 
  9838 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9839 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9840 
  9841 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9842 definitions that have local scope;
  9843 
  9844 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9845 
  9846 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9847 (e.g. package initialization);
  9848 
  9849 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9850 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9851 
  9852 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9853 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9854 
  9855 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9856 
  9857 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9858 
  9859 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9860 
  9861 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9862 
  9863 
  9864 *** HOL ***
  9865 
  9866 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9867 
  9868 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9869 definitions such as
  9870 
  9871   inductive EVEN ODD
  9872     intrs
  9873       null "0 : EVEN"
  9874       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9875       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9876 
  9877 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9878 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9879 correctly (also ZF);
  9880 
  9881 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9882 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9883 contained in "induct";
  9884 
  9885 
  9886 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9887 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9888 
  9889   datatype
  9890     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9891             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9892             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9893             | NUM 'a
  9894   and
  9895     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9896             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9897             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9898 
  9899 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9900 
  9901   datatype
  9902     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9903                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9904 
  9905 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9906 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9907 
  9908 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9909 <function_name>.simps.
  9910 
  9911 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9912 
  9913   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9914     ancestor.
  9915   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9916     generic induct_tac instead.
  9917   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9918     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9919     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9920     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9921   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9922     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9923   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9924     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9925     sort constraints.
  9926   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9927     of recursive argument.
  9928 
  9929 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9930 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9931 
  9932 
  9933 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9934 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9935 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9936 support is as follows:
  9937 
  9938   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9939 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9940 
  9941   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9942 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9943 
  9944   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9945 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9946 
  9947 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9948 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9949 the name of your record type.
  9950 
  9951 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9952 
  9953   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9954 
  9955 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9956 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9957 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9958 solve record problems automatically.
  9959 
  9960 
  9961 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9962 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9963 
  9964 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9965 
  9966 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9967 
  9968 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9969 
  9970 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9971 
  9972 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9973 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9974 with add/delsplits);
  9975 
  9976 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9977 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9978 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9979 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9980 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9981 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9982 %u.f();
  9983 
  9984 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9985 makes more sense);
  9986 
  9987 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9988   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9989   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9990 
  9991 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9992 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9993 literature);
  9994 
  9995 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9996 the well-founded relation;
  9997 
  9998 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9999     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10000     release ONLY.
 10001 
 10002 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10003     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10004 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10005 
 10006 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10007 
 10008 * HOL/List:
 10009   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10010     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10011   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10012     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10013     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10014   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10015 
 10016 * HOL/Arith:
 10017   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10018   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10019   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10020   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10021 
 10022 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10023 instead of "inverse";
 10024 
 10025 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10026   of the multiset ordering;
 10027 
 10028 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10029   (not included by default);
 10030 
 10031 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10032 
 10033 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10034   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10035 
 10036 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10037   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10038   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10039 
 10040 
 10041 *** ZF ***
 10042 
 10043 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10044   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10045 
 10046 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10047   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10048   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10049 
 10050 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10051     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10052   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10053 
 10054 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10055 
 10056 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10057   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10058   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10059 
 10060 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10061     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10062 
 10063 
 10064 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10065 
 10066 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10067 also src/Pure/README;
 10068 
 10069 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10070 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10071 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10072 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10073 
 10074 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10075 are qualified by default;
 10076 
 10077 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10078 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10079 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10080 
 10081 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10082 cterm -> thm;
 10083 
 10084 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10085 subgoal;
 10086 
 10087 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10088 
 10089 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10090 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10091 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10092 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10093 for example;
 10094 
 10095 
 10096 
 10097 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10098 --------------------------------
 10099 
 10100 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10101 
 10102 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10103 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10104 
 10105 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10106 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10107 
 10108 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10109 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10110 
 10111 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10112 
 10113 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10114 
 10115 
 10116 *** General Changes ***
 10117 
 10118 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10119 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10120 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10121 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10122 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10123 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10124 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10125 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10126 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10127 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10128 section;
 10129 
 10130 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10131 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10132 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10133 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10134 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10135 
 10136 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10137 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10138 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10139 
 10140 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10141 conditional equations;
 10142 
 10143 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10144 
 10145 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10146 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10147 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10148 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10149 
 10150 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10151 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10152 
 10153 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10154 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10155 
 10156 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10157 show_types);
 10158 
 10159 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10160 
 10161 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10162 
 10163 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10164 
 10165 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10166 
 10167 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10168 
 10169 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10170     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10171 
 10172 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10173 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10174 
 10175 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10176 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10177 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10178 
 10179 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10180 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10181 
 10182 
 10183 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10184 
 10185 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10186 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10187 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10188 
 10189 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10190 
 10191 
 10192 *** Simplifier ***
 10193 
 10194 * added simplification meta rules:
 10195     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10196 
 10197 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10198 logics (again);
 10199 
 10200 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10201 
 10202 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10203   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10204   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10205 
 10206 
 10207 *** Syntax ***
 10208 
 10209 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10210 
 10211 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10212 
 10213 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10214 
 10215 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10216 
 10217 
 10218 *** HOL ***
 10219 
 10220 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10221   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10222 
 10223 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10224 
 10225 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10226   protocol TLS;
 10227 
 10228 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10229 
 10230 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10231 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10232 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10233 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10234 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10235 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10236 
 10237 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10238   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10239   are rewritten to
 10240   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10241   and those of the form
 10242   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10243   are rewritten to
 10244   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10245 
 10246 * HOL/datatype
 10247   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10248 
 10249   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10250      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10251         ...
 10252        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10253      )
 10254 
 10255   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10256 
 10257   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10258     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10259         ...
 10260        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10261      )
 10262   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10263   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10264   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10265 
 10266 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10267   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10268     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10269     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10270   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10271     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10272     `standard'.
 10273 
 10274 * HOL/Lists:
 10275   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10276   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10277   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10278 
 10279 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10280 
 10281 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10282   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10283 
 10284 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10285 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10286 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10287 
 10288 
 10289 *** HOLCF ***
 10290 
 10291 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10292 
 10293 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10294   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10295 
 10296 * domain package:
 10297   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10298   . creates hierachical name space,
 10299   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10300   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10301   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10302   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10303   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10304     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10305 
 10306 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10307 
 10308 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10309 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10310 
 10311 
 10312 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10313 
 10314 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10315   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10316 
 10317 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10318 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10319 
 10320 
 10321 
 10322 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10323 ------------------------------
 10324 
 10325 *** General Changes ***
 10326 
 10327 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10328 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10329 
 10330 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10331 
 10332 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10333 
 10334 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10335 messages and clean internal interface;
 10336 
 10337 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10338 setting goals_limit);
 10339 
 10340 
 10341 *** Syntax ***
 10342 
 10343 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10344 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10345 
 10346 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10347 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10348 "symbols" syntax table;
 10349 
 10350 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10351 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10352 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10353 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10354 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10355 
 10356 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10357 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10358 version of xterm);
 10359 
 10360 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10361 
 10362 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10363 access type of constant);
 10364 
 10365 
 10366 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10367 
 10368 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10369 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10370   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10371   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10372         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10373   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10374   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10375     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10376   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10377 
 10378 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10379 assumptions;
 10380 
 10381 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10382 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10383 (and access functions for it);
 10384 
 10385 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10386   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10387   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10388     safe steps.
 10389   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10390     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10391     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10392 
 10393 *** Simplifier ***
 10394 
 10395 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10396 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10397 redex);
 10398 
 10399 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10400 
 10401 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10402 
 10403 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10404 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10405 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10406 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10407 
 10408 
 10409 *** HOL ***
 10410 
 10411 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10412 also for type `nat';
 10413 
 10414 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10415 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10416 
 10417 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10418 
 10419 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10420 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10421 
 10422 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10423 
 10424 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10425 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10426 
 10427 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10428 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10429 
 10430 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10431 infinite lists;
 10432 
 10433 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10434 
 10435 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10436 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10437 
 10438 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10439 
 10440 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10441 
 10442 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10443 
 10444 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10445 
 10446 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10447   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10448   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10449   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10450   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10451   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10452   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10453   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10454   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10455 
 10456 
 10457 *** ZF ***
 10458 
 10459 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10460 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10461 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10462 
 10463 
 10464 
 10465 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10466 ---------------------------------
 10467 
 10468 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10469 
 10470 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10471 
 10472 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10473 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10474 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10475 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10476 
 10477 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10478 
 10479 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10480 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10481 
 10482 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10483 
 10484 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10485 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10486 
 10487 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10488 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10489 
 10490 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10491 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10492 
 10493 
 10494 
 10495 New in Isabelle94-6
 10496 -------------------
 10497 
 10498 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10499 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10500 
 10501 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10502 
 10503 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10504 
 10505 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10506 
 10507 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10508 
 10509 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10510 
 10511 
 10512 
 10513 New in Isabelle94-5
 10514 -------------------
 10515 
 10516 * reduced space requirements;
 10517 
 10518 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10519 
 10520 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10521 
 10522 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10523 
 10524 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10525 
 10526 
 10527 
 10528 New in Isabelle94-4
 10529 -------------------
 10530 
 10531 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10532 
 10533 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10534 
 10535 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10536 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10537 
 10538 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10539 Axiom of Choice;
 10540 
 10541 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10542 
 10543 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10544 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10545 
 10546 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10547 
 10548 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10549 translates to the operator "split";
 10550 
 10551 
 10552 
 10553 New in Isabelle94-3
 10554 -------------------
 10555 
 10556 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10557 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10558         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10559 
 10560 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10561 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10562 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10563 
 10564 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10565 
 10566 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10567 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10568 
 10569 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10570 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10571 
 10572 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10573 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10574 
 10575 
 10576 
 10577 New in Isabelle94-2
 10578 -------------------
 10579 
 10580 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10581 
 10582 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10583 freely;
 10584 
 10585 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10586 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10587 
 10588 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10589 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10590 (theory_of_thm);
 10591 
 10592 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
